Colby/Celia have been presented more as archtypes as opposed to actual characters thus far. Why is it that nice characters are always portrayed as stupid and sappy? I certainly don't know anyone that is sappy and insipid in real life. Nice characters can have a backbone, be funny, and be confident... why do soaps seem unwilling/unable to write that? I bet if the good characters were given more personality then viewers wouldn't gravitate or root for the bad characters.. jmho.

I unfortunately do. I work with someone who is very sappy and naïve and carries this idealistic view of the world. She's a virgin and like Celia has very little life experience bc she grew up sheltered and privileged. It also makes her come across stupid bc she has little common sense. She's a nice person but super annoying to be around in anything more than small doses. The writing for Celia seems spot on based on her background. I think the writers nailed her bc people like that do exist.

I've known a few people like this too, and I agree that they've pretty much nailed Celia in that respect, which again is why the spoilers about her guardian don't make a lot of sense to me.
