His hair always makes or breaks his overall appeal, haha.  Clean-cut hair? Yes.  No scruff?  No, no. Not now.

I don't mind that Sharon graduated.  At least she actually went to school and got a degree unlike most of soaps. But why is her graduation in September and not December?

Or May, like most schools?

I do appreciate how Sharon has been written under Sally and Mal. The bit about her living with a mental illness has been handled far better than it had been previously, when it was solely played for laughs and shock value. Her speech today was actually quite poignant.

Too bad we never got to see Sharon attend any keg parties or rush for a sorority.

Most Universities do graduations in May and December. Considering May already passed it would've made sense to hold off her graduation until December.  Her speech was nice though. And it is rare for soaps lately to celebrate women achieving anything.

True, and I did like her speech.  It feels more like a plot point to get Sharon to the GCPD. Has she mentioned this graduation beyond the last couple of days?  Also,when did she stop volunteering? Personally, her former father-in-law should be offering her a job as Chief of Police, not newbie detective.

Devon has been turned into Gina.

What is this Nate/Victoria martial arts mess? Really?

[ranger1rg]

 

They’ve turned Nate into this guru character who walks through peoples lives playing the role of whatever they need to solve their problems. It’s ridiculous.

[Faulkner]

He’s like the Magical Negro. The Legend of Nate Hastings.

 

Brooks and Amelia have zero chemistry. It was so forced.

[frequentsoapfan]

Nate is very annoying. And I need him to keep his shirt on. Time for them to speed it u on making him tolerable. On to his next pairing.

 

I liked Kyle and Lola's scenes this week. They had nice chemistry and The actress is fitting in with ease. Hope she doesnt pick up anyone's scene chewing habits. 

 

Shauna needs to go back to her family. First off this stuff with Hilary wanting her to be apart of the fam is so forced. She barely knew Hilary for but a few months and even then Hilary was too busy working to pay attention to her half the time. Plus that actress cant act.

@frequentsoapfan Does anyone else think it's creepy to have an 18-y.o. girl living with a 35 y.o. man? Though wasn't CK around 19 and DG 35+ when they paired Cane/Lily initially? That still bothers me because they turned a character from teenager to matron in just a few years. 

[Faulkner]

The writing for Devon has always been sick and embarrassing and, most insultingly, lazy. He’s always been underwritten, so they just sort of throw ridiculous stories at him. Remember him banging his “Aunt” Tyra just days after learning they weren’t related? The affair with Hilary while his father was blind was typical soap, but still. And it appears they are inching closer to an affair with the newly “adult” Shauna. Let’s just destroy him completely before kicking him to the curb.

On a show where CANE exists Devon is fine.
