Days: Why Do All The Legacy Kids Have to Start of Bad

[SoapSurvivor]

It seems like most of the Legacy couples on Days have "Bad Seed" children and the only one to kind of stay true to her roots is Sami. The rest of the baddies soften up quick. First Chelsea, then Stephanie, then Abby, now JJ and Theresa. Do TPTB not know how to right for genuinely good characters anymore. Do people prefer to see bad/grey characters?

I'm fine with a show full of Grey characters any thoughts?

[Antoyne]

That's not just a Days problem, it happens on all the soaps.

It's just an easy way to try and make them more interesting I guess rather than having them all goody-goody.

[EricMontreal22]

Exactly, itgives them instant drama and storyline with their parents when they're SORASed

[gtru1981]

What u expect. These kids all come from some powerful and important families. They probably all go to some private schools and there parents never really raised them.

These kids should all be drug addicts, alcoholics, or hard core criminals if u ask me.

Abby started off bad? I remember her being pretty much little miss innocent when Amber Benson played the SORASed role

Belle and Shawn were good kids. Nick was as well. When Nathan came back SORASed, he was good too.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Stephanie wasn't that bad either, she was tomboyish.

[Jennerz]

I remember Abby being innocent as well. Belle was definitely a good girl but was initially re-introduced with a bit of a bad girl vibe with her crushing on Brandon. Shawn came back with a bit of a chip on his shoulder and a leather jacket but was always good-hearted. Philip initially came back with a gambling problem.

Remember when Stephanie came back as a race car driver? Hah.

[Susan Hunter]

Since I've been watching...

I think SORASed Hope came back as a brat.

Melissa Anderson was good.

Jennifer came back troubled.

Carrie came back as a hitchhiker and stole that guy's wallet.

Sami came back sweet with regular teen problems.

When Eric came back someone was stalking him, but I think he was good.

Shawn Douglas was good.

Belle was good and annoying.

I don't remember what Philip was like. Was he kind of a snob?

Brady was troubled.

[Antoyne]

The first Phillip was a bit of a typical rich boy snob.
