I wished the writers on this show would write their business stories or even their storylines more like the GoodWife. that show was geared towards reaching all demographic. The Kings wrote their business stories with such realism that was worthy of a work water cooler discussion. True dat and that was a show that truly featured powerful intelligent women. Not this "I've never heard of online shopping" or "I don't know how to call a handy man".

Boretoria house is soooooo fucking dark, that she is using a flashlight in the middle of the day in her house with a blown fuse.

one good thing that the "new" writing regime has done that I like is writing Lily with claws. oh my......she has develop a tough personality.
She was always that way IMO when she is not with Cane, of course. good point, because whenever she is like that she is going after Bitchilary or something else.

Billy has become even more depressing than before. attending to Boretoria's son when its not needed. my goodness where are the balls Billy acquired last year. now he is just another wishy-washy man in GC.
His balls have gone right back into Boretoria's purse. He looks blank to me. No fire nothing. its what the new regime are going for? spineless, wishy-washy, purse carrying men.

OMG.........so this is how the "new" regime wants us to find exciting. showing more Boretoria? oh my goodness. How horrible I think I finally realized what their logic is. January-February 2015 Pratt had good ratings. I don't think it had anything to do with Villy or other pairings but that's probably what TPTB think. So they are now forcing Villy down our throats. And then probably will reunite Phack because they were together last Winter too. The thing is, #1 ratings are usually better in December-February than they are in Spring or Summer for all the soaps, #2 stories play a much more important role than couples.

OMG!!!! are you fucking kidding me? Boretoria had to call Billy to flip the circuit breaker in her house. what a trifling storyline/scene today. the writers couldn't write that Boretoria called an electrician or even attempt to flip the fucking switch. Noooooooo!!! the lame ass writers wrote Boretoria as frigging damsel in distress.

BTW.......Boretoria is supposed to be wealthy woman and yet she could not call an electrician as if she can't afford it?

so the new writing regime thinks another amnesia story would be the best story for the audience. when exactly last year Bitchilary had her amnesia......or the year before Neil had his blindness. oh great........maybe they will bring Dr. Neville back to threat 40-Watt.
They need to bring Dr. Neville back to treat their writing team, because they have a severe amnesia too. It must be contagious.
