GL:

Michael Laibson and Megan McTavish tried to turn Dinah into the poor little rich girl, long-suffering, naughty-but-nice type in 1996, and it just about got the show canceled. You have to see some of those episodes to believe them, especially around summer/fall.

Lucy Cooper was another one of that era.

Pam Long seemed to try to turn Reva into her own personal muse, although to be fair, she did write a more balanced show in her later run.

Many would say the later years of Harley fall into this category.

I'm not sure what the hell they've done with Carrie in recent years. Wasn't her behavior despised by fans towards the end of her second run (when she was cheating on Lucas)? It's a shame they have to constantly have cheating stories with her.

she wasnt allowed to be upset that Austin was lying to her and brought her away to cover up his own ish? Her reactions today were very human and while upset, she was willing to work things out with him and remained calm and rational after the initial shock. But now that she found out Austin had sex, she will be downright pissed and she should be.

LOL...speaking of Days, why hasnt anyone mentioned everyone's favorite ingeuine, Jennifer?

Taylor was B&B's biggest Mary Sue from about 1991-when she was "killed", in 2002 or whenever. Anything she did was good and pure, and anything which was questionable, like devirgnizing James because they thought they were dying, was ignored. Only when she returned, complete with wrecked face, did B&B start to tarnish the halo.
