For once there’s a lot I can agree with SOD including Best Couple, Worst Mystery, Worst Triangle,  best and worst returns, best new male and female characters, and worst  character.

Still there’s a couple head scratchers. Skyle had talent? I am thankful the Fisher/Baldwins are underused, and Chelsea’s stroke as Best Story? Hell no.

I can agree with Paulina on DAYS being the best new character. She's been awesome, and so has her daughter Chanel.

For worst use of history, I probably would've gone with Hayden's shooting on GH. They've rewritten so much of what happened on screen that I genuinely don't understand what's happening with the story anymore. It's confusing.

Liz and Franco is kind of an odd choice for worst breakup. They didn't break up. He died.

Brady/Chloe/Philip is an awful triangle and it's literally just been the same scene on repeat for months.

And that's a problem because...?

[Faulkner]

These lists are harder and harder to justify.

[Liberty City]

Only one I can agree with.

I still can't get over " "Worst Use of History"?

There is no history there. The longest the characters involved have been on the show is like a couple of years and most of them were hired a few MONTHS before the story unfolded.
In what way is this using History - poorly or not - at all?

I mean the overall list has fewer eyebrow-raisers than in years past but it is still hard to understand the rationale for some of those.

I’m surprised Liz/Becky Herbst didn’t win Biggest Waste of Talent

The way they rationalized it was that was Finn sleeping with Jackie the night before her wedding was a badly written reason as to why Finn was estranged from his Dad

Jackee Harry could simply read a phone book and I'd be entertained.

Outside of me side-eying Best Story, I feel it's a good list for this year. Same wavelength for the most part.

Paulina got so much hate and u want to tell me that she was the best newbie? Ok.. cool, cool, cool, cool.. no doubt, no doubt

Best use of history is laughable but I get it.

i agree on a lot of that list especially Ashland from Y&R!
