-- In addition to the Britt story being extra in so many ways, the "We Were In A Wreck" saga starring Curtis and Jordan is obnoxious.

-- The entire police force and legal system is OBSESSED with that crash, and it's all so bad.

-- But yeah, let's have Isaiah and Curtis argue in street clothes at the pool.

-- Finn Carr has done some nice work, and he's miles better than the actor's playing Danny and Charlotte. Still, some choices the past couple episodes have been shaky. They can't ask him to do too much or it doesn't work.

Finn Carr is approaching becoming another tragic case of Uncle Frank Loves Too Much. FV clearly has realized he can act and is a real talent, but he's been put in the most odious story possible where you have a considerable portion of the audience wanting Rocco to leave these islands strapped to the top of the plane like Mitt Romney's dog, when they don't want him shipped to Ferncliff or disinherited.

I like FC a lot and I think he should have major teen story. But this ain't it, any more than Charlotte is for Danny (or

SPOILERS

Scout and Rocco,

which the summer previews hinted at - woof)

Wouldn't it be funny if he eclispes Joss in story?

The problem with Rocco is that he’s always on the verge of a panic attack, which FC plays convincingly, but I’d like to see him get to try other things.

I mean...he's usually a voice of calm worrywart reason so I'm sure they can get him back to 'factory settings' and then pivot off to something new.

Well, I adored her with the bangs. Other than that, I know your thoughts of Ms. Britt. hehe.

Someone in hair and makeup must hate her ass. I agree KT is a pretty woman but she looks rough as hell on the regular. And not just when she's dying of 'Huntington's'.

I never thought KT looked amazing in any of her runs, but I never noticed her looking so unkempt. Britt looks like she doesn't brush her hair or put on makeup. Even my style nemesis Brook Lynn looks polished and put together although her clothes are still ugly.

I don't think hair and makeup do a great job with Havins either. Lulu's hair is often just hanging there and not really styled or done. It's just less noticeable because her hair is longer and her outfits are slightly cuter and more fashionable.

She was on ANGEL. But I get it.

Didn't Rohm get canned on Angel because she was unpopular? I could be wrong about that.

In a way, KT reminds me of when Elisabeth Rohm replaced Angie Harmon on "Law & Order." She fulfills a purpose (...I guess...), but is she captivating? No. (And no, it's not because she's a lesbian, lol).

For a second I thought you meant KT was a lesbian and I was thinking I can see that.😂 Don't worry I got the joke eventually haha!

I think KT has more presence than Rohm. The presence is just an annoying one.

And I would agree. Which is why though darn bangs stood out for me. I even liked them being in her opening picture. lol.

Not unpopular, but I thought she was written out because she got the role on LAW AND ORDER while on ANGEL she was just recurring. I felt like people were indifferent on one hand, but found her well-developed on the other.

The show is really dragging out so many of its plots. So many of them could be resolved in one or two episodes. They don't drag things out with character beats, since they don't know how to do character; rather it's with boring plot points, a little drib each episode. You think the writers would be over all this crap (Cullum, Sidwell, Britt, Rocco, Jordan's accident) and would want to start something new by now..

You can tell this story is going over real well when talk of Britt grooming Rocco has broken fanbase containment. I don't think it is like that but it is a weird, weird look onscreen nonetheless and it's probably something Guza would have toyed with lmao.

We'll probably get heated response scenes in a month-plus of Rocco all but yelling directly at the camera "Britt did NOT groom me!!" with CVE sweating it in the writers' Zoom. Shades of Carlivati getting infuriated with fans talking about Robin's trauma being ignored from her long abduction and responding by having Robin have some very clunky, embarrassing scenes where she went on and on about having no PTSD in the middle of Kelly's.

I don't understand why someone didn't put a stop to this long ago. It was unpopular from jump and recent events have only made it worse. Jason isn't here to steer audience opinion either.

if this was circa 2006 Guza, Carly would have a big shouting match with Britt that would end with Carly saying something like "I think you want Rocco in your bed!" and they would slap each other and call each other skanks and the youtube clip of it would always randomly show up in soap fans rec's decades later.

IOW, we'd have something good to look forward to.

@Vee absolutely nails it on this Rocco/Britt fiasco. Beyond the grooming aspects, FV has OD's on Finn Carr. He's a great actor for his age but all Rocco does is whine about Britt. Lulu is annoying, but she has the worst brats in all of soaps. Even Eva is loyal to Leslie on BTG!

They really need to move things along. Everyone is excited about Anna being back, but it's going to be a rinse & repeat of her being a victim. ,

Or worse...they aim her at Jason.

But yes, glad to know she's back.

Like everyone else, I think Finn Carr is great, but I also don't think we are looking at some sort of generational talent like KMc or JJ here. Given the off putting nature of the story I think the lack of rehearsal and direction really shows how green he is. That's obviously not Finn's fault. It's clear he's a little lost on how he should play this all and no one is stepping in to tell him Rocco is coming off obsessive and weird towards Britt. The show needed to ditch the Rocco angle long ago and had Britt go on the run to search for Jason or something instead-or better yet die.

If the idea is to get teens to watch in the summertime by using teens this is not the way to do it lol. The small teen set come off entirely too obsessed about their respective parents and are all vaguely related. It makes you long for the days of Jason/Brenda/Jagger/Karen or Lucky/Nik/Emily/Liz because at least there was lightheartedness and friendship there in trying times. Danny, Charlotte, and Rocco are the most emo and overwrought kids on the planet.

You better speak that truth!!!

Right now B&B has a firm young set (after a loooot of trial and errors) and their problems (boyfriend problems, friendship issues, competition) all feel age appropriate. And BTG I felt did the same thing with their teen set last year with bullying, geek gets hottie, and the football jerk antics and this year colleges and cotillion stuff which also was age appropriate. You would know the teen going-ons on DAYS better than me. And then I look at GH and all I think is Danny and Charlotte are on MUTE and they also seem to be resurrecting Charlotte's 'Papa' obsession again after a good recast. None of it seem age appropriate which is a shame since right before PM came in for his run, it felt like we might get teen stories again. More reason to have Liz's own kids around.
