ALL: Characters that have outlived their current usefulness

[1974mdp]

I think US soaps tend to be pretty bad about not cutting dead weight when it comes to characters and freshening up the canvas with new characters to develop brand new stories. I think British soaps are much better at this.

Which characters currently airing do you think have gone past their current usefulness? It doesn't mean that they couldn't come back in the future, but they really have no current purpose on their show, are just simply played out, or have been written into a corner.

For me...

B&B - Liam, Katie, Paris (is she still really on?), Thomas, Sheila

Y&R - Adam, Sally, Phyllis, Chelsea, and perhaps even Billy.

DAYS - Brady, Kristen, Stefan, Leo, and dare I see Kayla, Steve, and Roman.

3/4ths of the DAYS and GH casts, for sure.

Leo owns this thread.

I immediately thought of him, B&B’s Liam, and Y&R’s Chelsea and Chloe as soon as I saw the title of this thread!

Victor Newman. The stupid storyline where his 80 year old ass pretended to lose his memory because he was bored one day was it for me. He’s needed to be gone since at least having Phyllis raped and Jack held prisoner.

Leo Stark. Nuff said.

Brooke needs to go!

I am quite certain Brooke will be the last person we see in the finale episode. In her lingerie at 85. 

[SteelCity]

Definitely this!

If he works on his glutes!
