Leaving March finally so getting to start on this past week's episodes...and I think I'll still say what I said before. I continue to feel the writers are doing what they did this time last year before the anniversary party. They took their B plots and just started to develop them in the lead-up to the anniversary party. I feel that's what they are doing this time as the lead-up to the cotillion. The real difference was that last year the stories were just...BETTER. Also we were getting to know the characters so we learned right along with them.
I see what Dramatist Dreamer and I were discussing yesterday. No wonder she was irritated. I was just as annoyed watching Monday's episode and seeing...
1) Ty and Jess are back on the outs and Jessica is back to being anti-cotillion after it seem Anita finally broke through to her. Off-screen.
2) Sam vs Francisca is now off-screen right along with her.
I know they are stalling the cotillion, but if they are going to give detailed dialogue about it, I would rather they SHOW the development of Jessica's shift. And I would love to see more Sam vs Francisca. Or more of the cotillion practice. There were other bits of dialogue that talked about off-screen things in other stories, too, but out of the new stories, the cotillion storyline was the one I was getting invested in so this just irked me.
Since the cotillion storyline was the stronger of the new B plots, that just left...the plasma ring storyline. Hot as Jacob is...I'm over it. After some growing developments, it already has become repetitive. I do continue to like how the story is growing developments that I feel will pan out in the future. Greyson vs Jacob. Naomi's growing worry and her continued storyline of hiding the fact she has the gene. The Greyson/Ashley relationship. How the storyline will impact the Hawthornes now that Mama Hawthornes has arrived. Otherwise...it's a meh storyline.
Not a meh storyline for me...the continued antics of Kristen Dimera...I mean Hayley. It was slow going, but the twist of Hayley and Lynette potential setting up Tomas was a stroke of genius for me. As was adding Kat into the mix with her Veronica Mars self. I know Tomas told her to stay out of it, but her face in her last scene tells me she's going to be like her fictional namesake and need to figure it out to save her man. Also...I loved Lynette vs Kat. But I love Lynette anyway as she continues to shape up into quite the soap villainess.
