And that was long enough for me not to enjoy her.

I can think of other characters who've past their prime

[cuzIsaySo]

The character itself is more than welcomed imho i just dont think the original actress clicked. At least she didnt with me. If she stuck longer maybe i would have changed my mind along the way but i cant honestly say that I would want the actress back.

And yeah I agree that there are a lots of characters past their prime but i know we will disagree on which ones

Thank you! I mean anything can flip at anytime in soaps, we all know this but its "too many" details in stories that just flip anyway the wind blows here. I can't invest in anything, hey it might change in the next eppy...This has gotten ridiculous....

I can not follow/understand R.C's story telling I've tried for two years its hard to believe he's been in this business so many years, an emmy winning head writer that makes the big bucks...can't see it on my screen..... IMO he's like an amateur.

Re: FanFiction

There are some quite decent writers who have turned into published novelist who started out in fan fiction. Many began with me writing Liason fanfiction back in the early 2000 eg Sienna Mynx a romance novelist who begin writing JoVan fan fiction has this series Battaglia....you'd be surprised at these authors. They also have a slew of authors @Valents "The Chamber" website who has picked up publishers.

Look at 50 Shades a best selling trilogy that is horridly written, repetitive (even misspelled words) and for the most part makes no sense... it was her first book. Black Dagger Brotherhood is a ripoff of hood fiction...some authors just get lucky.

I am a huge Brad fan and I usually love everything about Brad and Britt scenes. While i thought there was some good interactions between them yesterday I unfortunately thought the material overall fell flat. It had all the making of a scott sickles episode. Lots of plot points thrown in together to justify future storylines.

I like that Brad is pushing Britt to get re-connected with her inner Britch but i think the set up is way too manufactured to be believable.

[marceline]

This. This right here is why I call RC a bad writer. There's no reason to invest in anything he writes when even he doesn't invest in anything he writes. There's no stakes, no consequences, no building on what came before for layers or context. It's the soap equivalent of a variety show.

[ChitHappens]

This post just cracks me up, especially the bold

Yep! No information being shared here! Ridiculous!!!

It was really good seeing real Britta and not that pod person. Love her calling fake Lizzard out on her thirst. Lizzard only fights for a guy when someone else has him no matter who pens this show.

Lulu misdiagnosed? That's one helluva mistake? How many uteri does she have up in there to make such an error?

Duke queening out is the perfect description for that mess yesterday. It was just awful but fitting for that clown Buchanan!

Ahhhh! The land where what you see today will be gone tomorrow! What a damn hack!

I didn't watch, and haven't watched, but just from recaps and posts, Brad and Britt seem to have become kind of gimmicky. They had the whole PnL thing over Sam falling on the red carpet, and now they're calling Liz names that were extracted directly from twitterfeed and various boards. That seems to be the primary purpose of their scenes a lot of the time.

Truth!

[cuzIsaySo]

I usually enjoy B&B in any capacity and yesterday was no exception. But the set up was too forced imho.

I would have taken Brad trying to get around Bobbie to sneak into Lucas' room over this in a second.

And I cringe at the idea that Britt's super power for evil will be wasted on trying to win the king of nothing back.

There was too many heavy anvils being dropped for me to fully enjoy it.

[ChitHappens]

Britta in Lizzard's face was grand, but Britta being convinced by that idiot, Brad, to fight for Nik? REEEEEEdiculous! Nik all but spit in Britta's face, but I gotta say, it smacks of old school vixen. Knowing a man would rather be anywhere but with you yet continue to pursue him because you know he's weak and stupid and will eventually cave? I've seen it a thousand times. That is old school soap there, so we will see how this plays out. Until then, I will just roll with the potential of the story because that's all we ever really get

[Khan]

Hallelujah to the lamb!

One of my biggest complaints about RC's stories is that they are truly anything but. He obviously knows how to throw enough "shocking twists" and "surprise revelations" at you to keep you talking, but does all the rug-yanking ever add up to anything? So much [!@#$%^&*] has gone down in Port Charles since he came aboard, yet I never know what any of it is about or what overall purpose it serves the show.

[cuzIsaySo]

I am still trying to figure why Faison shot Jason while pretending to be Duke tbh.

But I am too busy enjoying the fact that someone got rid of him (temporary as it might be) to question it any further.

[ChitHappens]

Didn't Faison take all of Scummy's money? Does Scummy know he's broke?

[Cheap21]

It would serve Liz right if Ric hooked up with Britt bc Liz turned her back on him. I'm sure she'd want him then!

if RC doesn't remember that then it didn't happen

[ChitHappens]

He "wrote" it, but that doesn't mean much.
