The show is starting to get boring. Too much focus on Gloria and Nick.

I want them to show more fallout of Hilary/Devon since the accident, more Jill vs anyone, more from Ashley, Ravi and developing this stalker storyline (if that's the direction their taking).

Gloria has had some funny lines but she's in the drivers seat for this entire damn storyline and that needs to stop. The focus should be on Lauren but no, it's all about goofy ass Gloria.

Also enough with showing us how great of a father Nick is because I don't care. I'd rather see Sharon with her kids instead. She always makes those scenes very powerful. Nick just talks like a frat boy with his children, it's not cute. It's cringey.

Victor and Nikki playing chess, no thanks.
I was never a fan of Gloria, Kevin and Chloe but I don't mind them this time around. Maybe it will change soon but so far so good.
I liked Gloria most when she was at Gloworm. It wasn't overkill at that point. I know it just started but I hope the Fenmore's story doesn't turn into another Gloria centric face cream fiasco. That was too much. I like Gloria but more as a supporting player/comic relief.
during LML era we had an overflow of Gloria.
when MAB came on, Gloria was slowly backburnered.
under JFP........she was gone.
I dont want the LML Gloria overflow time again.
but for now, Gloria with her snide one-liners are the only saving grace to this boring train-wreck.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Re: Cane. Last time they tried to fire DG it ended with a plot about Cane's twin :blulaugh: after Lane fans hired that plane to fly over CBS lol.
Maybe they are triplets. :blulaugh:
Well I have a feeling Sally doesn't give two flying f*cks about what lane fans want and that goes for the other couples too. I don't like this idea that a couple can't split,or that when they do all roads HAVE to lead to them getting back together. Sally was trained under Bill Bell and he had NO problem breaking couples up and letting them move on to other people. Yeah they might reunite eventually, but that eventually could sometimes be years lafter. Couples that viewers like spent years apart at times: nikki/Victor, dru/Neil, ashley/Victor, john/Jill , liv/Malcolm, danny/cricket etc.

Cane is the perfect example of what happens when a writers hands are forced. He should have stayed dead,at least the way it was he died a hero saving his wife and kids. It gave him a good ending and if left alone would have shown he truly loved Lily, but the back peddling they had to do made him a hypocrite and pathological liar. And who the hell keeps someone else's blood in their damn freezer? That's some serial killer shit right there.



I agree that having the same couples for a long time stalls their storylines, they become boring etc. HWs should feel free to experiment. There shouldn't be unbreakable pairings on a soap (they are not interesting to me).
However, re: "SS giving no fucks what fans want" - this will only go if their ratings are high, if they will be down (from last year, last Q or whatever), I can guarantee CBS will interfere and fans' feedback will matter (maybe even too much). They always react if there's a backlash.

Greasy-Dickolas is basically on every day.
WTF?
he is now portraying the struggles of single-dad as if he doesn't have billions to hire a full-time nanny.

It will get worse (I liked their first scenes). Nikki will try to persuade us all again that Victor has changed. Very subtle. Not. :x

well I can see why EB might be bored with his character's stories.......they are fucking boring.
today, his mumbling is a little more pronounced.
maybe he does the mumbling when he is annoyed with the lines.......

Those Dylan scenes would be much better if SB tried to play Derek differently than he plays Dylan.

3WishGenie did warn us that we may not find the story or acting interesting or exciting.
personally I think he is distracting me from the travesty by showing some arms.

The scene with Abby in Victor's chair looked stupid. Wasn't she and Victoria once CEOs of NE?

the Greasy-Dickolas single dad story is boring.
this scene with Greasy-Dickolas/Pathetic-Nikki is another boring filler scenes which wasn't needed.
TPTB should have cut this scene and move onto something else.

Dylan sitting around a semi dark club in sunglasses is real subtle.
yeah........he is really not conspicuous.
with that get up, everyone in the club will remember him when the authorities goes to question folks.
