And yet, some of you continue to validate my keystrokes on my correct statement (since there's no reason to front as if it's anything other than fact at this point) over and over again to the point where you're carrying on for me.

Which leads me to another UO, I hate that Katherine Bell (a bitch who I did love to hate) got thrown in their boring orbit instead of keeping her around as a thorn in the Quartermaines' side where she worked best. (This was ages before I'd learned that the motivation behind that was to capitalize on the fantastic pairing [which I hadn't discovered until last year] that MBE had with SN on DAYS - and even this knowledge isn't enough for me to justify the pairing that sucked the soul out of my Katherine.)

I can't say that I hated Lisa (though I will say that the only time that I found her remotely interesting was in the brief time that she was fvcking with Emma's sperm donor's head after they'd slept together and before Robin found out), but the reaction to her throughout her time on canvas (after she'd endangered Robin's life more than once) was in no way comparable to Sabrina for merely existing (even though I've yet to hear a single thing about her actually endangering Robin or Emma in the time that she's been around).

I started to mention Katherine Bell in my post but decided against it. I had never been happier to see someone dead (for the second time). I didn't love to hate her, I just hated her. I felt like she brought Stefan down. I did like him with Bobby at one point in time though. I read somewhere that TPTB brought her on at SNs request. I feel even more justified in my hate of her and the pairing.

I don't get how someone can make all of these claims about why Sabrina is so hated while also admitting that they've only ever seen the character a few times. Maybe if you'd ever actually watched her, you'd understand why she's hated. Guess what? It's not about her race, no matter how much you want it to be. She is a terribly written character.

'Admitting' would imply that I'd have something to be ashamed about, which I don't. I've said this before and I'll say it again - I don't have to tune in to a show to correctly assess a viewership's reaction to a POC character and/or actress because it's the same predictable one every time. That's how they roll and the hatred for Sabrina (and any other POC character in comparison with their white counterparts - no matter how flavorless the latter are) supports that.

I have to be honest and say I have NEVER seen another character on any soap, black, white, Hispanic or otherwise as propped as Sabrina. And her acting isn't the best so I can see why she's hated. Although she's grown on me, I hated her as well and to honest still wouldn't mind if she left the show.

For the record, I don't care about Sabrina or the actress that plays and never have, so I can't say that I have an investment in her. Fill in another POC character / actor in her slot and the vitriol will be the same - disproportionate to that of their white counterparts. The defensive reaction to my observation is proof enough of that.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
