I always assumed the original plan was to try Brennan with Anna. 

Same.

The smart play for Carly would be to bring back A.J. (be it Sean Kanan or someone else) again. But they won't.

How I wish the show would bring back A.J.  There are so many places he could fit into the canvas currently.

Now he feels like an afterthought and islanded off in that Alias story. Just a complete waste of what little potential the character had.

 

He is an afterthought.  He's not integrated into the show at all.  He spends most of his time talking to Joss and Vaughn.

Oh, I see. I be forgetting he is even still on the show. And don't get me started on remembering that he is dating Carly aka the Leading Lady. How? Where? lol.

They are barely on together.  It's not even a problem for Carly.  She has a lot going on with her family.  He's totally unnecessary and the entire relationship has stalled out.  They aren't serious so how devastated is Carly truly going to be when she finds out about Joss Superspy?

Exactly! All the stuff going on with Carly right now and he was...a no-show? The custody hearing alone. smh. He was nowhere for her to lean on him or talk or vent Carly-style. And no more sexy time either?

 

And I almost fell out when Carly and Anna were talking about Cyrus and how Joss had shifted. I went...wait? that story thread about Joss killing Cyrus is STILL out there in the ether and nobody knows??? The one thing that would surely break up Carly and Brennan? Yep...a total stall.

 

If they are not going to use him as BF material and not pull the trigger by letting that fact get out...then what is the endgame? 

 

ETA: Yeah...at this point...I will be shocked if Carly has any reaction to Joss Superspy. Unless Joss is close to death...something that would end Carly/Brennan too.

Totally forgot Joss killed Cyrus lol.  

And, yes, Joss will probably get hurt being stupid and Carly will be furious.  They need to make Carly/Brennan seem a lot more into one another for me to pretend to try to care.  This breakup will be even less anticlimactic than Carly/Drew's lame breakup.

IKR. And presumed dead? So Dante and Anna gave up looking for Cyrus? When?  lol. It is at bad as everyone forgetting Sonny killed Wagger.

 

Watch. They will remember to give Carly/Brennan moments of romance/coupledom at the last minute before something happens to Joss/truth comes out and then a breakup.

 

Lol is what I think every time I think about the Carly/Drew breakup. Because Drew said nothing, but the truth. Jason's back in town? He might as well head for the hills. lol.

It was actually hilarious in the sense that Drew nor Carly seemed to care that much.  After all the build up to make them a big love story, they just broke up and never looked back lol.

*shivering at their cliff scenes in Florida with sweeping generic big love story music*

 

RME. lol.

 

VS

 

Good adversaries. 

 

I think in that case, we definitely trade UP.

Carly at least acknowledges she was with Drew in spite of their hilariously quick break-up. If you dropped in on the show today you'd have no clue Sonny and Nina were ever together let alone married for three minutes, or that GH spent several years on their cracked love story.

I will not be shocked if Carly and Brennan swiftly break up but I think it is more likely he comes to a swift and ignoble end (as in, death) either before or right after that.

True. Though they appear to be circling back to Sonny/Nina again. 

 

I could see that happening as well.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think Sonny/Nina were better designed to be a couple the show could go back to if they felt the need.  Their build up was slightly more believable and their break up was a bit unfinished, IMO.  I am not suggesting it though.

When Drew/Carly were done-they were done.  Never ever, ever getting back together.  I think Carly acknowledges her past with Drew to make herself sound more important and wiser because she knows Drew so well her opinion should matter more.

I agree with it. And I felt like they have toyed with it a few times since PM left. If anything, I'm surprised they haven't yet because Sonny and Nina had such invested interest in the Michael and Willow drama over the past year. At one point, Nina was the only person that could get through to Sonny when he was being...well...Sonny. 

 

True.

Totally.

That was another thing that surprised me coming back to regularly viewing. 

I was not for the recast (no offense to Chris who I always loved on OLTL), but they used him a lot more...for better or worse...than they do now. Now he feels like an afterthought and islanded off in that Alias story. Just a complete waste of what little potential the character had.

NOW I too feel like he is just a time waster for Carly. Which this past week, I started to think who could Carly be paired with. Cuz I don't feel...unless I'm wrong...that the writers are doing Nina/Sonny/Carly again given the recent Nina/Sonny scenes I saw. 

The only real interest in Brennan seemed to be down to those who liked Charles Measure.

They could have Chris McKenna take off his shirt off a lot more, but it probably wouldn't help with the writing, or how uninteresting most of her pairings are. 

If this were a British soap they probably would randomly make Carly a lesbian by this point.
