That's been an issue for years though. Brenda's Ashley married Grambo a year after he took over Jabot so it's not as if her biases are some huge secret.

 

I know that's why I don't like Ashley.

How is that lopsided writing?

 

She never said what Billy did was ok or that it was wrong for Jack to feel justifiably upset with their little brother. Only that Jack acknowledge that even though he lives in the Abbott family house, that doesn't give him the right to bar other Abbotts from their rightful place there too. That was a huge part of Ashley's paternity tantrum. That if she were to wrong Jack in some way he found unacceptable for any reason he'd ex-communicate her altogether too.

 

It's not like the Abbotts were forcing themselves into Jack's place to make him celebrate with them. As Jill said Billy is as much an Abbott as the rest of them no matter who dislikes it. So if Jack wants to completely avoid Billy, in addition to not forgiving him, he should move out & get his own place eliminating the.issue altogether.

 

 

John's been dead for a decade. It's Jack's house. Billy was acting like an entitled jackass not two months after his brother found out he was screwing his wife. You can like Traci all you want but I know lopsided writing when I see it.

I don't think Traci's writing is lopsided. She and Ashley were both around for Jack sleeping with Jill so they know what a hypocrite he's being with Billy and their reaction makes total sense. What's out of character is Jack moping around like a baby when he's treated women so bad in the past. Jack is one of the few characters I don't like the current writing for, Billy being the other. I think they need to accept he's in his 60s and adjust how they write him, similar to what they're doing with Victor and Nikki. Keemo and Kyle (well cast for once) are a MUST. He needs adult children and along with Abby to try building a legacy for the Abbott's. Focus on that and business and allow him to be a proper rival to the Newman's again. I'd even give Keemo an adult or teenaged child to further flesh the family out. THEN you can focus on a love interest. 

 

Exactly right.  And I absolutely love the idea of rebuilding the Abbotts with Kyle (I liked LB but that ship has probably sailed), Keemo and his children.

Jack is mid 60's. A rivalry with his brother whose young enough to be his son is a non-starter.  Didn't like it with Victor and adam either. If they want Billy to have an in-family rival, they need to recast Keemo. PB will just have to deal.

Right?  PB needs to sit his ass down.  

 

For me, Jack works best behind the desk at Jabot.  I love the idea of a Billy/Keemo rivalry.  

 

Maybe Jack & Keemo doesn't have to share scenes. He can just mention that Keemo & his kids are around. & just let Keemo act with the rest of the family.

Peter Bergman hated the Keemo storyline. Victoria Rowell implied that he doesn't want Jack to have an Asian family.

I don't know who worse holding back the progress of the show, the guy who plays Victor or PB.

They continue to give them love story after love story on top of it.  In the past 2 viewer/fan surveys (they never listen) - I said in both - Victor and Jack need a rest.  Congratulate both actors for a job well done and either have them take a REAL back seat or reward them each with a 3 to 6 month hiatus from the show and see what you can do with some of these other characters.  They're dying on the vine for the sake of Jack and Victor.  Either balance it out naturally or remove them from the equation so that they're not a choice for the writers. 

 

I don't know what the ratings were when Eric B. was gone before but given right now when the ratings are released there have been * asterisks next to most key data that says, "All time low - 8th straight week".  So....while things have changed he can't be that big of a ratings draw to keep him front and center 24/7 when the ratings are where they are right now. 

Mishael Morgan reminds me of Lindsay Hartley a bit. 

I would like if Christopher Sean played one of Keemo's kids

What happened to Fenmores boutique? Are we going to be seeing it soon?

Judith Chapman is devouring every bit of furniture on that set.
