Helpless Romantic

Dec 10 2012, 12:50 PM

The writers of the past wrote characters CONSISTENTLY and they were not in love with multiple men or women at once and once they made their choies were not fickle about it. I think that has especially hurt all the characters in recent years but then in the past the stories were good and you could understand where a character was coming from and presently I can't for any character as they are all fickle generic and in love with being in love. So IMO while in Sami's case she cheated the sls are COMPLETELY different and should not be compared to the extent they have been because the writing and stories don't do anything justice least of all Caroline's illness when shes reduced to being a sounding board for Sami's endless men saga. Making the story about Sami and not Caroline in essence or even Eric being used as a tool to push or okay stamp EJ and Sami as a couple. So while trying to draw "parallells" they pick and choose what they will compare ignoring or whitewashing the rest and that is my problem, especially every time they try EJ and Sami and each time is worse and worse and more unbelievable than the last which makes Sami especially look bad. I really no longer care so it is what it is. There is NOTHING like they at least in the past tried to use to explain her current behaviour and I thought it was very fitting for Sami to tell Eric "I can't imagine my life without a man or being in love" How very appropriate for what she has become and thats why she desperately needs therapy but they wont do that. So we are stuck with stupid fickle and easy characters unfortunately.
