Melanie unknowingly becomes part of Abigail’s latest scheme to nab Austin

Abigail and Melanie end up at the same getaway as Austin and Carrie

Melanie, Melanie everywhere.

Melanie, Melanie everywhere.

shes hardly been on in the past month and hasnt had an actual story in quite a few months and now is involved in one story. thats pretty far from everywhere.

Melanie, Melanie everywhere.

The way Melanie has been featured lately is hardly "everywhere". I actually don't mind her in small doses, and she works best in a supporting role. The character isn't leading lady status, at least in my opinion.

I pass on this storyline!

Melanie, Melanie everywhere.

Are you and I watching the same show?

I'm pretty sure these episodes were taped when Molly was with her family in Colorado before her mother passed away. I don't think they can post-tape (or if they can, it's pretty limited) so yes, she won't be on as much. Hell, pretty much most of young Salem has been backburnered.
