What Happened to Dr Mark Greene?

Deidre Hall playing Hattie is one of my least favorite things Deidre Hall does.  I hate that the show wastes her guarantees on this nonsense.

Hoping and praying it ENDS under the new writing regime, and NEVER returns.

[carolineg]

I could write an essay on how I CAN'T stand Hattie.  She was only interesting when she was first introduced 25 years ago.   Now it's just a gimmick.  Is Charlamagne a Marlena clone?  Why does Marlena have a twin and several lookalikes?

 None of it makes sense. At all. And I cannot wait for it all to end, once and for all.

Re: Emily O’Brien 

If you think about it, she did sort of get a raw deal from like 2022 on. And I think we know whose fault that was. 

Lol probably, but I wouldn’t mind it. Can’t blame VK for not coming back full time either

Yeah, Emily was pretty much set up to fail from Day One. I won't blame her if she peaces out and decides to never come back to this hellscape ever again and just sticks to doing voiceover work for video game projects. 

[carolineg]

It makes me mad because the show took something cool-ie DH having a twin and made it a joke.  It's not even Ron's fault, but there are enough Marlena clones in the world to satisfy Don, Roman, John, and Stefano at this point.

It's a shame because I think EOB did her very best.  She just had everything stacked against her.

If Chanel took the morning off at Sweet Bits, where did Connie buy the donuts?

I know I'm writing a story that's not actually being played on screen, but I still think there's potential in the Connie plot.  In a town filled with doppelgängers, and easy access to latex masks, where everyone is stunningly beautiful, the idea that an ordinary looking woman could get away with murder is intriguing.  Unfortunately, the character is absurd and everyone around her looks like a fool for allowing her to go unnoticed.

While I agree that Emily O'Brien never phoned it in and always did her best, she NEVER felt like Theresa to me. Not once.

The wig didn't help, but that wasn't the reason she failed. For one thing, bringing Theresa on THE SAME DAY Gwen left was a huge mistake. That didn't work. Would it have helped to wait 6 months? I doubt it, but we'll never know.

The truth is EOB never captured Theresa's essence, she never felt like her.

I thought the initial Gwen story was pretty good. That was around the time that Ron and the writing had a nice resurgence. Having Laura be involved in it was a big mistake that totally killed the storyline though. 

But what Ron and his biggest cheerleader did to EOB during the Dimitri storyline was one of the grossest, most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life. She was literally treated like [!@#$%^&*] just because those two clowns were too biased and obsessed to tell a good story. And the Theresa thing was just a mistake, probably brought on by that disgusting Dimitri storyline, even though EOB did grow on me a little as Theresa.

It seriously is a wonder how she hasn’t walked. I understand that a paycheck is a paycheck, but the treatment is just… goddamn lol

I'm two episodes behind.

Glad to see Andrew on Monday episode.

Paul appears this week too.

I liked O'Brien better as Theresa than Gwen. Maybe because she wasn't tied with Leo.

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, Gwen & Theresa were both horrible people. But, where Gwen was arrogant & standoffish & mostly unlovable. Theresa was a friendly approachable screw-up. 

[Soapsuds]

Gawd! Holly and Tate have become such a bore.
