(and Julian)

 

I can tolerate Finn and Nina, though I'd not care if they were gone tomorrow and we had focus on other characters

 

One of my biggest problems with Julian is how deVry plays him and how they write him. Julian never admits to anything and then walks around like his [!@#$%^&*] don't stink expecting everyone to forgive him, the whole attitude of the character just irks me. Not to mention the lengths they've gone to to "redeem" him. Lawd. Soaps shouldn't have to jump through these hoops. They need to learn how to get rid of someone despite the rabid fanbase that can mobilize a twitter campaign, or just not write someone into a corner time and time again. The whole knife to the throat thing is hard to get over and I can't believe Alexis and Julian as a couple still have fans after that. They hang on to Howarth and deVry but have no problem letting Sean Kanan or Ian Buchanan or others go.

 

DUMP FRANK! (AND VARNI! THEY ARE HIS PETS TOO!)

Why is anyone surprised? Things like this has been going on for decades. Wasn't Eileen Fulton even attacked at one point during Lisa's heyday as the prime vixen of ATWT?

And crazy fans are not exclusive to soap operas. Rebecca Schaeffer and Teresa Saldana are horrible examples of what crazy fans are capable of.

I know it's sick, but let's face it, we live in a sick world.

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
    • Honestly, Olivia had kind of a good reason to keep her son safe from a mobster for two decades.  Sonny literally shot Dante in the chest lol and had multiple family members die, get injured, threatened, kidnapped, etc, etc.   I know you don't watch the show very often, but it's not like Olivia should have shown up and given Sonny and his 18-year-old girlfriend Brenda shared custody of a kid.  That would have been a horrible, life threatening idea.
