I always felt like Robin was the one woman who really intimidated Carly. She's smart, pretty, Sonny and Jason love her, the town adores her, she has tons of friends, etc. Carly always felt inferior to her. It's probably my favorite Carly rivalry. While I like Brenda/Carly as foes there really isn't that much history there besides sleeping with the same men. I don't think Carly respects Brenda and I think she secretly respects Robin.

I agree with that. I remember that SJB Carly I always felt like had an underdog vibe to her, but I would get irked when she would come for Robin and be so mean. I actually would react. Deep down, I felt the same. I was also happy that when Carly/Liz started, Liz had more bite to her so it felt evenly matched.

To your second point, I feel like Skye's inclusion in the Brenda return was another attempt at shoehorning the character in and gaining sympathy for poor Skye. Jax didn't need to marry her for conflict. Brenda faked her death weeks before Jax/Brenda's wedding, hid for 4 years, shacked up with Alcazar, thinks she's dying, Jax gets shot and paralyzed, Brenda marries Jason, Sonny's hanging around, Alcazar is still stalking her, and so on. That's a ton of conflict right there. Jax didn't need a wife in the mix especially when he dumps about 10 min after Brenda returned.

I was just joking. Though you speak nothing but facts. I was saying...how can anyone compete with Brenda. hehe.

Alexa Havins is so good but it really is a shame the writers took away all the spunk and fun.

While is what happened with the last Lulu recast, too. A shame because Lulu's return story was good and had potential and AH has been a great recast.
