And thus ends possibly Sharon's strange year of 2011. Seriously the writing for Sharon has been so strange and bad. We started off with her on the volcano trying to prove Adam's innocence for killing Skye then was inexplicably accursed of Skye's murder herself, tried and found guilty of it. Then she escaped and was presumed dead. She lived on a farm with Sam and fell in love with him until she was discovered. Then she sat around in jail doing nothing for three months until she was freed. Now here she is still clingy to Adam and accepting Victor's proposal. MY god as I said she should have left with Sam last month for good.

Loved the look on Nikki's face - that was worth it. Can't wait until Monday - too bad Nik isn't drunk so she can rip on Sharon by adding the father to the two brothers. BTW - I guess Victor really doesn't care about EITHER of his sons - no way a father would do this to his "favorite" son. Thank goodness Victor didn't go there with conjugal visits. I was half expecting him to go there. Oh and the rationale that Sharon would protect "[Victor's] interests on the outside." Sharon? Really?

It's all so pointless - what can they even do with Adam? The show likes to have these "moments," and actual storytelling is meaningless. People talk about Adam looking sad, or Adam having a belt buckle - they rarely talk about any actual purpose for the character.

The show could send him to therapy & have him actually work through his issues.

But Maria & Hogan don't care about actual characters.

They just write whatever they want & force it on the characters no matter how out of character it is (Victoria & Nick barely being there for Nikki, Victor letting Delia suffer, Jill constantly falling for criminals, Neil marrying his brother's wife).

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
