Very true. However, after all the bullshit Nick has done, I have seen very little decrease in his popularity among fans online. Every female character fanbase is lining up to have their beloved lady lay under Nick Newman. I don't even think Lane fans would be against that triangle. Ha!

Way back when I first started watching the show there was a scene with Nikki where Nick came back from boarding school. I specifically remember that. Was it college then? I thought it was high school. The way the show has inserted this story into Nick and Sharon's history is the very definition of plot driven schlocky story telling. It is so pulled out of some writer's ass to make drama between Nick and Sharon. When Sharon was telling the story it made me hate her for being such a bitch and hate Nick for being so stupid and irresponsible which is sad because these were pretty much the last two people on the show I have any love left for. I know a lot of people don't like Nick but I've always had a soft spot for him because he has a way with children and seems to really care about his kids unlike other characters who's kids are raised off screen somewhere. Sharon has pulled a lot of [!@#$%^&*] in the last couple of years due to her illness but she's never played dirty like everyone else on this show right now except maybe Ashley. I guess I don't like the new Sharon and I don't think she should have custody of Faith because she's unstable and makes bad decisions on a regular basis. So this story sucks and so do pretty much all the other storylines on the show right now imo.

The reason Chuck Pratt and Jill Phelps are the disasters they are: no respect for a show's history, or for the audience who have watched the show for many years. When Nick returned from boarding school, it was from high school. We saw his life and story play out in actual time from the moment Josh Morrow hit the screen as Nick. This is a very cynical, manipulative story told by lazy, unimaginative hacks who now run Y&R. Pathetic!

So agree.

The delivery didn't even sound convincing. I don't think that SC or JM believed that mess.

I know. Today's episode was horrible. Sharon having to remind Nick of what happened was just painful. Like seriously? Nick wouldn't remember some girl dying tragically in his pool? :rolleyes:

And it boggles my mind how bloggers think this story is 'good' because it gives Sharon leverage. No. It makes her, Nick, Victor, and anyone else who knows the truth look equally vile.

And we all know the problem with do that...the audience still remembers all too well. Ignoring a character's history usually aliennates long time viewers.

This a big reason why I haven't been a consistent/loyal viewer in years now.

The downside of the success of JH. He's so charismatic in his portrayal of Adam that we're all pretty much willing to overlook the Bingo nonsense but now Y&R is only emboldened to write the cabin fever story and because we like Camryn Grimes so much, we endure the nonsense that the majority of this story is off screen, invented backstory that we never saw in real time. Abby has finally been made halfway interesting so what do we get for enduring this storyline too?

More invented nonsense with Nick supposedly leading a girl to breaking her own neck, while Victor somehow covered it up.

While I appreciate the fact that Sharon told Nick off, finally, it should've been for a scenario based on something that happened onscreen, like the revelation that Sharon's erratic behavior was the result of some brain damage suffered after she got hit by that car, after running into the street devasted by seeing Nick do the nasty with her best friend Grace. If all of this mess, all of the screw ups had somehow actually led back to Nick's betrayal of Sharon, that would have at least tied back to something that we all watched happen on screen and it might have changed the dynamics of Nick and Sharon's relationship and made Nick feel like sh*t to boot.

Now, what do you get from this nonsense of a hastily invented backstory? There's no true payoff to this, if there is any, it will be short-lived.

Gina T in lingerie wub.png Phyllis has been missing her sex appeal and Gina is too hot not to be showcasing it. The elopement ceremony is totally getting crashed by not at all dead Kelly

Still digging Chelsea and Gabe/Adam, glad her and Billy cooled the wedding talk

Ashley & Victor scenes are always great, I'm actually looking forward to this story getting in gear

This Sandra stuff is so stupid, my God. At least Sharon finally got over on that bastard. Of course Dylan wanted to stay over and protect her. I can't help but like those two together.

Yeah props to her, that was horrible dialogue

    • Hold up, is SD making the booty pop? Maybe he's trying to compete w/ the BtG booty popping hahaha.
    • It's sad she can't be a part of his on-screen tribute somehow.
    • I feel the same. I didn’t expect to care about them but the chemistry is strong and I’d love to see them go public and try to make it work. 
    • Keith D. Robinson has a lot less screen presence so far than Maurice Johnson had, but I think he's probably a much better technical actor.  I couldn't be happier we're finally moving along with the caucasians. Andre and Ashley better be f*cking by the end of the week, or so help me, just to move the story along even quicker. That's the second time there's been a hint that Dani will get involved with the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story somehow. Maybe it'll happen in response to Andre/Ashley getting together?
    • I have this STRONG feeling that if they put Derek opposite a Kat, Eva, Chelsea, or Shanice, I would NOT be surprised to see him pop and shine. Ashley, on the other hand, has Andre and the actress cannot even sell that pairing. I am really starting to believe that Ashley is the problem and might need to become a year 1 casualty.

    • Honestly, rewatching the mid-80's, I wonder if Pam Long GAF about anyone other than Reva. Even Alexandra, who isn't getting any great story that I can see, she revolves around her precious Brandon.  Reva is supposed to be plucky, "tell it like it is" brave for living with no regrets, while she pisses and moans, biting the Lewis hand that clothes and feeds her so she can lust after a virtual stranger because they've both "hungered" to be a Lewis and feel like they've been excluded from the precious Lewis circle of trust.  Lord love a duck. Long didn't know how to write for strong women. She's not interested in Annabelle, Nola, Katie (although she hadn't had a story since '81) or Trish, Mo and Claire have babyitis, Roxy's an ex-whore, Mindy's spoiled but occasionally tries to grow up and Beth cries all day everyday. Yes, Vanessa isn't the mover and shaker she was upon entering Springfield. But at least she was allowed to grow as a character. Unlike Reva, she's not hamstrung in some eternal sexpot role that she can't escape from.  As much as I dislike some aspects of the Dylan storyline, it's arguably Long's best umbrella story. Yes, it could've been written without Vanessa, but it's undoubtably richer for her being in it.
    • Thank you! I feel the exact same way. Xander and EJ are great villains. This moment between Xander and Philip has been building since November. It was ugly, it was horrible, but it was real. Not some Nickelodeon b.s. that this show has constantly served for years. Now, a big part of why I like these characters are the actors who portray them. They are dynamic, charismatic, and genuinely talented. They actually feel like the new Stefano and Victor, but without being carbon copies. They are their own messed up, villainous, bastards. There are multiple characters in their corner and against them at any given time. Both good and fellow bad people in the community praising and damning them. The show feels like a soap opera again. And crazy as it is to say, I'm even more excited to watch it then I am Beyond the Gates most days, and that's saying a lot. As for Stephanie's book, they're keeping me intrigued wondering where it's going. Bringing in Kate was a genius move. However, I'm still Abigail Klein's biggest hater on this board. Generic Barbie is literally the Sofia Mattsson of DAYS to me, just a complete wash of an actress. However, I think her being a PR person is a damp squib of a profession and since we're stuck with her this could be a way of finally getting her away from her "successful firm." Body and Soul was her lowest low, even worse than when she was poisoning apples or whatever trying to kill Chloe of all people. Philip returning was the best thing to happen to her character in ages. When both stories were happening simultaneously, you could literally see the difference in how much energy she put into performances from one scene to the next.
    • I find the black & white episodes FAR more atmospheric and spooky than the color episodes.   The first few months of Dark Shadows move ploddingly slow when you're binge-watching, with entirely too much repetition and exposition.  But as someone noted above, it's the only time in the show when you get much character development.  After the 1795 sequence, it's pretty much like "just make something up; nobody cares."   The series essentially became self-parody with the overload of monsters & ghoulies.  I was watching a scene one time in which the Witch was attempting to stop the Phoenix from staking the Vampire, and I got tickled at the absurdity of three "monsters" in one scene.
