Nick is so useless. There are more than a half dozen Newmans in GC at any given moment yet he leaves his toddler son with a virtual stranger?

 

Ashley not immediately warning Abby that Victor is clearly using her after she learns the details of his absence from Aunt Jack? Whatever.

 

Ravi & Phyllis are straight out of a Molly Ringwald film.

 

Ruining the one bio relationship Cricket has left on the show for a ridiculous spy story?

 

Kevin being the parent of a young child (especially a young girl)? INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE.

Why would he need someone to take care of him? Nick doesn't do anything. He doesn't work and just hangs out at the bar and his parents home. Useless is an understatement when describing Nick.

Did they even mention what is the case? I am assuming its a random who cares person.

Ben Hochman could be a character with potential, kind of like how Kirk Anderson was when he was initially introduced on As the World Turns (fans of that show know what I'm talking about).

 

If they'd balance out the character a bit more, there could be some promising chemistry with Ashley down the road.

 

In the meantime, I don't have a problem with Ashley dating Ravi, I don't care about the age difference* and I don't think the pairing is longterm anyway.

 

*By the way, has anyone been following the French presidential elections?  The top finisher to go to the runoffs is Emmanuel Macron whose wife is 25 years his senior.

She was once his....wait for it...high school teacher!*

    • TPTB are dragging out the Alexander Dumas reveal way to long.  We really aren't any closer to knowing who he is than we were months ago when his name was first mentioned,  I really don't mind a lengthy soap opera plot, in fact I kind of prefer them.  But this is crazy.  Give us some hints, give us some red herrings, give us some cryptic evidence.  And for God's sake, show us who he is.  And it BETTER be good...   But knowing this head writer, I don't the reveal will be anything exciting.  Just another outside force coming into town to cause trouble.   I hope I'm wrong.   
    • The only Camden kid I liked was Mary... and I don't know if Jessica Biel would want to go back to playing that character or not.
    • I've been liking the writing for them lately. Positioning them, and Johnny/Chanel as the two main, frontburner couples was a really good idea.
    • I've never cared for Xander, and I find him and Sarah so boring together.
    • I think in some ways the story could have been stronger because Wendy and Stephanie had a more nuanced mother-daughter relationship and Lisa Peluso could act, but I don't really think Louise worked as Stephanie, so the impact wouldn't have been the same.  That would be a better way to bring drama than another serial killer story. And Sarah probably would have snapped and Jo would have been held hostage again... As someone said above, I do wonder why Philip Brown didn't last longer. Then again, I'm not sure why Kevin Conroy didn't last longer either. 
    • That thought crossed my mind too but I really don't want Kate to cheat on Roman

      And Paul Telfer does it so well
    • Bored or just bored with story or character: Ashley Derek Pamela Vanessa Doug Joey aka Jon Lindstrom....he truly sucks in the role. The gambling set, gambling story hate and bored with a passion. Dani and Andre in bed every five seconds.....yawn! Diego the fitness guy....yawn!! Today's show, minus Kat, Eva, and Jacob/Leslie sprinkled in, was very boring!
    • Is Ashley/Derek really arguing over a damn scratch on the fridge?!  MVJ, get rid of both characters... NOW! 
    • I do think Vanessa was lesser than Reva and Alexandra in those runs, but I think Long also gave Vanessa a centerpiece on the show she never would have had otherwise, and she did bring the character back (I know Maeve had only wanted a break but if Long had not wanted her to return, she wouldn't have returned).
    • Well, Catherine Hicks did say once that the only way she'd agree to a reboot is if started with Eric's funeral. I used to love this show when I was little but I watch it now and all I do is roll my eyes. The writing was so heavy handed and honestly, the Camdens were a bunch of pretentious, judgmental snobs
