He sort of is, but the whole feud with Sonny has been a sideline at best for a long while. His entire storyline is about international intrigue, the WSB, Faison, etc. His primary scene partners these days are WSB/DVX people, Britt, Ava, Lucy, his son, the evil gay butler, Drew - Sonny, etc. are way down the list. Sonny and Jason just spend time complaining about what he is doing with other people and taking almost no action themselves. I prefer the Guza-era writing team to this one, but I will never be truly sorry the mob era is over. They broke the back of the Guza leads early in Frank and Ron's tenure and it never really recovered despite a few rallying points. But the last 3-5 years or so, for better or worse, have finished it. There is no real, substantive difference between Curtis' relationships with Portia or Jordan. These characters are all interchangeable and have no real personality, other than what BK imbues to Portia onscreen. DT barely acts and Tanisha Harper has never been able to. And that anonymous bubble is how FV clearly likes the Black characters. For PR purposes he can say they exist, are on contract and are cloistered largely among themselves so as not to upset that only viewer base he engages with. In a few years there will be another clueless lovestruck interloper like Isaiah, or one of the women will go and another will be added to play the exact same storyline again. I noted only a couple years ago when Curtis and Portia got married that they had the temerity to reuse 'the Ashfords' on some signage at the wedding, not long after Curtis and Jordan's overhyped wedding a couple years before that, and wondered if anyone involved got confused. It will happen again. I expect Stella to have faked the results or something to keep this going on and on.
