The Hayley/Bill poisoning storyline seems to be dead in the water. At first, it was a refreshing twist. But now it has been going on for several months, and Bill seldom shows signs of even minor poisoning. What the Hell?? This plot should have been handled similar to the extremly successful Janice Frame/Mac Cory poisoning on Another World. Once the audience is clued into the truth, the action (poisoning) should move along rather swiftly. On Another World -- with Mac growing increasingly sicker, he started missing work. Then when Mac's colleagues and friends started to question Mac's health, Janice whisked him away to a Caribbean island where she planned to finish the job. At first it seemed the Haley/Bill plot was heading in a similar direction, with the couple buying a house in the Caribbean. Now the entire plot seems stuck in second-gear.
The issue with any "poisoning your spouse" plot is -- in the end, the perpetrator must either die, go to prison, or escape never to be seen again. There is really no way to redeem a character who has poisoned her/his spouse. That's just the way it is. But I'm getting the feeling TPTB at BTG are afraid to write off Ashley and lose a good actress, so they are slow walking the plot until they can find a way to redeem Ashley. Dear God in Heaven, the entire exercise has become as boring as Hell. Get on with it, or get off the pot.
