Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2013 Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 YRBB nails it. It's easy to assume Braeden calls the shots. I'm sure he does have some say, like over certain scenes, but it's been clear that he has had little to do with any story in recent years. I know there was talk that he wanted Victor/Sharon, to seem virile, but I don't think he would really want to go there with Sharon. And the huge fallout with Braeden and Sharon Case, which I sense still hasn't gone away, likely exacerbated this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted December 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 The whole Victor/Sharon thing was icky. They build up this surrogate father daughter thing with them for almost 20 years and then they become involved... but I guess that storyline was kind of the end of the line of MAB..

Members will81 Posted December 23, 2013 Members Share Posted December 23, 2013 It seems to me soap writers these days find character development boring. The biggest mistake they ever made with soaps was making them story driven instead of character driven. In terms of Victor it feels like they just went back to 80/81 era Victor and exaggerated those aspects, completely ignoring his character development for the past 30 years. Same thing happened with Brooke on B&B. Bell characters are hard to write sometimes because he seemed to love the psychology of the character, none of his mainstay characters can be reduced to a couple of lines to describe who they truly are. Even when I heard actors from his shows describe their characters it wouldn't fully encompass the character as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
