Your instincts are usually on point and this is no exception. Getting past her being completely plastic, Steffy is a pathetic man chaser who could easily rival Teresa Lopez Fitzgerald. She targets a loser man, eventually gets him but gets pissy with the woman HE won't stay away from and blames her for trying to steal him, something SHE actually did.

Steffy had great potential but that is all gone now. I'm sure Ivy is a goner now that the plastic lesser actress is back. Ratings didnt suffer one bit w/o her, but at least Hollywood had the right idea. Botoxed under 30 mediocre actresses are a dime a dozen.

Yeah, I'm not a Steffy fan either. I used to be, back when she had potential, but now she's been reduced to a weak, pathetic little woman who can't do anything without fawning all over a man - a man who is taken. It's so boring. A summer of Steffy is a summer of boredom. The writing just isn't there to give characters like Steffy depth, that can also develop these elongated, tired triangles. I don't understand why Steffy is still not over Liam, given that they have been separated for well over a year. There must be better men in Paris than bloody Liam.

B&B can be so predictable and lazy at times. Steffy and Wyatt is a lazy choice, designed for cheap drama. I could stomach a summer of Steffy if it meant pairing her with Carter, but in order to make them work, Brad would have to do his job and literally create some interesting storylines for them that would give us some good drama. I guess that's too hard.

It's a shame JMW has had so much work done at such a young age. I guess she took inspiration from HT when they worked closely together.

Please. The only good thing she ever did on Neighbours was die.

While Kate's storylines sucked, Ashleigh Brewer did show us that she can act. That's what B&B should be capitalising on.

I want to really like Ivy, because I like Ashleigh Brewer, but she's just bland. Really bland. She's not the person you remember and root for; she's the one you forget was ever on the B&B canvas.

Ivy's bland and forgettable b/c they haven't bothered to develop her or create an interesting character to begin with. AB is capable, but they're not doing anything interesting with her. She's not alone in that: Justin, Oliver, and even Aly and Carter are quite forgettable characters (the latter two simply b/c they don't get any storylines of their own).

This is very true. B&B is so often filled with supporting roles that are underdeveloped and have no real defining personality and given no meaty storyline or airtime, while their favorites continue to get cranked out in frontburner story after frontburner story. They have dynamic personalities and drive the story (or react strongly to the story).

It's no wonder that couplings like Justin/Donna are together offscreen and then eventually divorce offscreen. We are given and shown no concrete reason for their breakup, other than that there's no tension to make them interesting, so they split 'em.

SOD spoils that Steffy wants to be the new face & body of FC's lingerie line

I'd rather tune in for the Summer of Steffy than 95% of the boring crap on DOOL right now.
