AFAIC, that was the point of no return for DAYS. The show has struggled since, either to top that storyline, or to be more traditional, and neither path has worked.

I think the reveal of the "real" Roman could also be in the running for point of no return. I mean, how could anyone have mistaken DH's John for being WN's Roman? It threw any and all logic out the window.

Going back to the best/worst article, their comments about how Sophia's baby being revealed as Aaron's the way it was making absolutely no sense are spot on. I know fans suspected from the moment the pregnancy was revealed that Aaron could be the father, but it really seems like it was a last minute pull from you-know-where for the writers.

My feeling has always been that the show was prepared to move on from Tate/Holly, but then the decision was made to actually double down on making them the next big supercouple, and Doug and Sophia got thrown under the bus to make it happen. I don't see much chemistry there, and it's particularly irksome that an asian character who I think the show was trying to build into something was abruptly tossed to the wolves, especially since her story continues to make no sense at all. Everyone was feeling sorry for her, so why has she been faking being comatose? And why reveal herself to Rachel, who immediately mentioned her to Tate and Brady?
