I believe that they can and should have these characters have conflict with other people besides their family members.

 

I mentioned this in the spoilers thread, but I will mention it in this thread too. I think that Nate could actually fit in well with some of the 40 somethings on this show. I think he can work in a somewhat older crowd. 

 

I could see him being a good (non romantic) rival for Cane or maybe even some type of rival for Nick . I had suggested earlier that he be tested with Victoria. But maybe they can move him in Sharon's orbit, given how Nick is and will act in upcoming spoilers. I think that could be a better fit for him than throwing him in a triangle with Devon. At least not anytime soon. And I think that Devon would stay on the losing end in a triangle (or triangles) with Nate.

 

Also, I believe that in the meantime that Devon could have his hands full with losing Hilary/the baby, dealing with Lily being responsible for the accident, and having conflict with her and Cane/Charlie. Not to mention he might end up taking care of Shauna (with her troubling background and behavior) by himself. He could maybe have quite a bit of conflict with Lily, and to lesser degrees, Cane, Charlie and maybe Shauna. No need to have Nate added to that IMHO.

Cane is Nate's family member also.

 

Agree, they could throw him in Sharon and Nick's orbit. He'd be the loser and made to look terrible in the process but it'd provide plenty of airtime. With recent castings, I don't think they'd do that though. 

 

What does a story of Devon losing hilary and the baby look like other than him on whining one day a week? That's not much to do IMO. Becoming Shauna's guardian could give him something to do but he'd be just a warm body in another lily/cane story with that. I guess they could bring on her parents and have some sort of psuedo custody battle. 

 

Nate was brought on for story with Hilary. He was destined to be Devon's rival by default of that. Mal would write anything but I can't imagine him having Hilary and Nate together in a romance without playing Devon. if nate is to stick around, he needs a place in that family to provide some sort of conflict. If not, he serves no purpose then I'll agree with @DeeeDee and give him 6 months.

 

I still think that Shauna's mom should have some history with Nate and paired with him even if he is not shauna's father. If they go that route then that'd give you the cane and Nate rivalry you want. And it could last for longer than 6 months if Shauna and Charlie have a kid for their parents to fight over. That makes lily a 30 year old grandmother but that can't be helped.

A complete waste of space.  

 

Mariah and Tessa are really making up for lost time. 

 

CF is horrible.  She gives these facial expressions that say "I'm constipated".

 

Nick "I did something amazing"

The Devon/Hilary scene felt like such a rushed throwaway moment. They could have milked so much emotion from that reveal.

 

There’s a part of me that thinks Devon would have kept that from Hilary given her fragile state or at least wrestled with telling her.

 

Sex on kitchen islands? That HURTS.

    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
