Claire was ridiculous today. I hate what they've done to her.

[slick jones]

She started out with promise, now I hit mute when she's on!  LOL

This would honestly be better than 95% of the show.

[Juliajms]

Me too. They've turned her into a vapid wench just to make Ciara look better.  In a way it's working, but the irony is in the casting news. They sacrifice the one with potential.

[Cheap21]

I don't think it's just to make Ciara better be Claire was a mess even before her current story. She really went downhill earlier in the fall when the trip escaped and she was a vapid, selfish witch to Marlena.

[KMan101]

Eh, it really did start with the switch to Quan and Higley. She wasn't like that before. She instantly overnight cared more about herself and her music and finding fame on social media and it was when Orpheus arrived and kidnapped her, it was to fit their plot. I'd say it was a bit of both but let's not pretend she's not being written this way to make Ciara look like the better option to Theo. I don't fall for the writing tricks.

 

Yep! +1

 

Some may not have liked her before but the personality switched with the writers. I know I blame Higley for everything under the sun sometimes for no reason but it was an absolute clear shift in writing for her. She wasn't given as much before the writers switched. But the sad fact is she's probably being written more like how teens are these days

We need a stellar head writer that can create a stellar new DiMera character preferably a female played by Robin Christopher 

[Cheap21]

we really dont. The Dimeras have been on life support for quite some time and with Stefano gone, are effectively dead. Chad is a poor substitute to carry on the family legacy, Andre is a retcon mess and we dont need new characters to try and fill some void. The Dimeras are a relic of an era long gone. Time to move on

 

 

Shane came to town to convince everyone that Stefano is alive with no proof.

 

[KMan101]

So Shawn can't hug Hope but she can tangle with inmates and kiss and hug on Rafe? LOL. This prison story .... I swear ...

[victoria foxton]

That's funny last week she was alone skyping with Rafe. But Shawny D can't hug Fancy Face

It's so funny that now they're all skeptical about Stefano being alive. Um, how about he had a doppleganger get shot while he lived his life elsewhere? How about he was wearing a bullet proof vest?

 

I mean the writing on this show is atrocious.

[Roman]

IMO doesn't matter how the writing is....KC is and has been running this shitshow for how long? when he's gone, IF the show is still on the air, MAYBE it will finally get fixed., until then...

I have to give Quigley writing team the benefit of the doubt with the Stefano plot.  It seems to me that NBC had control of the stories through Griffith and that's why Higley left after six months and didn't return until Griffith was gone.  Griffith and Corday probably wrote the stupid Stefano murder, and I have to say if Quigley can undo the damage in some way, I'll accept it.  Under Griffith, everyone was a murder including Joey.  He was just the worst.  I'm enjoying more of the show.  It's campy and melodramatic and the writing, sets, lighting and costumes have all improved and except for Ciara, Joey and Theo, most of the acting is stellar.  

 

But someone tell me:  does Zucker snort some hot pepper or something in order to cry and sniffle cause her nose was so red. LOL

[Soapsuds]

I don't see any camp in it. The Theo story is just stupid and so is the acting. Sonny and Paul are a hot mess. Why are they both acting like they've never dated or been bfs before?
