Contessa, I guess we'll agree to disagree. When Rachel is onscreen, what I feel is annoyance and irritation. But I totally respect that you disagree with me on this, as well as your right to express your opinion.

Not a problem, not at all. 

With Violet, I look & say: I get it. They wanted to create a precocious child that was also lovable, like Young Robin and then Young Emma & OH MY GOD, could they have possibly screwed that up any more than they actually did. And, then like CarolineG mentioned, they have her SING!!!

With Rachel I look at her & think, Kristen & Brady created THIS & she deserves every ounce of her evil self. The Bad Seed? Could be. But remember, that is a classic.

Has Kayla been working at the hospital all night?

Exhaustion is the only excuse why she wouldn't order x-rays or an MRI for Sarah's spine after being hit by a car.  BTW, I hate temporary paralysis stories, where the character magically rises from their wheelchair due to the power of love. 

Also, to me, Rachel is the good kind of brat because she's self-aware of her power.  While Violet's singing is enough to drive a man to drink.  Is it possible that Rachel started the campaign to recall Paulina as mayor?

Contessa and Caroline, thanks for elaborating. Yes, I certainly wouldn't mind if Violet didn't sing any more. But otherwise, I don't feel too strongly about her. On the other hand, Rachel presses my buttons: She has this habit (although I admit she's starting to get away from it) of saying something nasty to an adult (especially Brady) and then looking so pleased with herself that she said it. Then recently she gave a reply of "obvi" to something Brady (at least I think it was him) said. I thought that was something that would be said by someone 3 or 4 years older than she is, so I'd say that Violet hasn't totally cornered the market on precociousness. If Rachel would simply be a "Bad Seed, like you mentioned, Contessa, I might appreciate that a bit more, but the snark ruins her for me. This is basically a gut reaction for me, and not necessarily better or worse, or more or less correct, than either of your opinions or those of others who've previously been negative about Violet on this board.

It literally did.  Her own father

 Which I am sure was your point.

It's kind of weird because Kayla did say she ordered some tests on Sarah's spine and it came back clear, so I don't know.  Maybe Kayla can't read X-Rays.

Rachel is annoying as well.  I just think she's the type of kid Brady and Kristen deserve.

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying, lol.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
