One thing I can't stand about Anthony Zacchara is his hate for Claudia. I mean I get it, but he still to this day talks about Claudia, his own daughter (who is dead), like she's a piece of trash! It really irks me how he still has so much hate for her. I wish he had a soft spot for her now. He's a fun, entertaining one note villain but I wish he had some heart to go with it...

This is going to sound horrible -- and to some, rather fitting of the person they think of me as -- but I get Anthony's disdain for Claudia. In my mind, when I think of being a parent, I think of myself having a son. I often wonder if I had a daughter first, would I resent her? Of course, I'm not as sick and mentally twisted as Anthony, and I have young female cousins who I absolutely adore and encourage to be strong, intelligent women... so I'd probably get over it and treat her the way I treat the other important young women in my life. But I can see and totally understand Anthony's disdain for a daughter he never wanted. The only reason he dealt with Claudia is because she was yet another person seeking his approval, which boosted his ego.

That was the single element of that mess of a character (Claudia) that was relatable. Her need for approval. And I say this LOVING SARAH JOY BROWN!! Claudia was just a horrible mess of a character, and I'm glad she was killed off.

Ha, I understand what you're saying & I don't think you're horrible!

You are 100% correct about Claudia, but I still just loved her & really miss her!! There was something about her...and as I always say, I just loved the whole Zacchara family dynamic.

Any character that put the Horse in check and almost killed off ChuckieMichael was naturally a favorite of mine...I miss Claudia.

Brenda's sheer excitement over having Lucian is so adorable to me. I love watching & listening to her talk about her "son". Little things like her getting excited over being a real parent and asking Lucian to eat all of his vegetables (and him actually doing it), to her wondering if he'll be hurt in any way during the DNA test. She is so enthralled with this new mom thing and I really love it. It's to bad he got snatched at the end, I don't even really blame her for not noticing. I think it's a shame Lucian is not really hers & she has to go through this right now...it would've been better if he really was Brenda's son and we actually get to see her stay the way she currently has been!

I want to like the Kristina/Lisa stuff but just can't....I don't like Lisa's plan. I mean hasn't she done this with Emma before?? Yawn..

BACKBURNER: "Calling Maxie. Maxie Jones report back to the backburner, STAT!". Omg I wish this nosey bitch would get off my screen! Not liking her increase in air time lately, all she does is nose around & throw out her unwanted opinions. I also don't care for her & Matt together at all.

Bravo! ITA

He called her a whore so much I had to call the comment line he demeaned and verbally abused her

to the point I couldn't watch anymore it was horrible. I felt abused...I don't watch soaps to hear a father

call his a daughter a whore in nearly every sentence of dialog. Then when she got murdered he did a 180

I loathed how they wrote SJB's Claudia I thought she was going to be like Jackie Collins Lucky Santangelo

but Guza brings back vets to screw them up in writing so I wasn't surprised.

Never cared for Maxi but if Matt gets the dust knocked off him I'll have to roll with it unfortunately ..I just think he's

got that adorable factor working for him. I like Matt Hunter and want to see him in story.

Its seems they took care in writing the intervention. I have to watch it again though.

I dropped the show shortly after Claudia joined and didnt start watching till she was murdered. I remember it was hinted that Ric's father molested her. Did they ever do anything with that?

yes. he supposedly took huge advantage of her and was tricking her into having sex with him when she was like 15/16 years old.

Speaking of Ric and Claudia, man did the show ever miss the chance with them. They had ten times more chemistry than Claudia/Sonny...but of course Sonny must be worshiped at all times.

No May discussion thread? I would create one but I dont know how to make those nice pictures that you guys do.
