What a complete let down! As if the show hasn't already had a bus load of terrible returns. I'm so over it already. LoL |

The secret room scenes are priceless. I love how calm Marlena is and her steadfast belief in John finding her. And of course, John admitting he loved Marlena but thinks she's moved on without him so he's stuck with Kristen. :) Marlena and Kristen were so much fun in there, I almost didn't want them to get out. |

You know what I love(d) about the Secret Room? It was very much the perfect punishment for Kritter. She had been walking around for eons controlling everything - she lost control in there. She had to watch John do Susan, not even knowing it wasn't her - Marlena had already walked in on John screwing Kristen (while he was having memories/flashes of Marlena on top of it). Kristen had to watch John say out loud that he took love from where he could, even though he actually wanted and loved Marlena - Marlena already knew that. It was great. And DH/ED have great chemistry, so it really worked, as crazy as the idea and storyline was. |

LoL Thanks. But I will proudly stand alone on my ''I hate Kristen/E.D. island''. No big loss. I just don't like the character(s) or care much for the actress. Kristen never seemed that special to me. I've seen way better villians. I thought Susan was a stupid joke with that annoying fake voice and horse teeth. As was the nun. Maybe 20 years later will change my opinion? I'm just thankful that at least I'll be free of her until the fall. :cheer: :cart: |

Susan was definitely a caricature. She was fine in small doses, but once the Secret Room story ended she should've been written out. That said, I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the character -- not because I'm a fan of slapstick humor, but because it was hilarious to watch an actress as serious and stone-faced as Eileen have to behave in such a ridiculous way. It wasn't funny because of what was written on the page. It was funny because of Eileen. |

honestly I do not want a rehash of John/Marlena/Kristen that has been done. Its time to make Kristen a viable villian aka not a cartoonish one. I feel like at the end of her run she was pretty much written into a corner. The needs a good antagonist and with proper writing she could easily become a character that people love to hate with real storylines. I do think John and Marlena should be involved with her but not in the same capacity. Anyone have story ideas?

You are not alone. I loathed Kristen. I loathed Susan, Mary Moira, Thomas and Penelope all just as much (maybe Susan most of all, the rest were just annoying short-timers). But she was there for a time when my favorites were pretty much running the show, and her actions were catalystic for their storyline, so the only reason I'm accepting it is that I have a tiny smidge of hope they'll get a storyline again, because so far they've had a little mini-movie-ish thing and then nada. |

John & Marlena should be fully involved. But as a good vs evil kind of thing. John & Marlena seeing her lies and trying to stop it, while everyone else feels sorry for her and wants to believe she's changed. If they make John a dumb fuck who somehow believes she's trustworthy, or worth five seconds of his time... they can take the story and go to soap-hell. John believes in people, but Kristen not only ripped him of time with Marlena and his children of time with them as a family, living together (they were a family, but Kritter certainly tried to ruin that)... she almost killed his daughter, let him love a baby who he then had to let go of, lied, kidnapped the woman his best friend/the woman he loves, hurt a friend he loved (Laura) and raised hell in his life. No. Freaking. Way. John as a character is toast if they even go there. |

Oh I know that, but I want them to be written in character. It's like J&J and B&H, I find myself not really caring because I feel like don't know who the characters of Jennifer and Bo anymore. Jennifer, who fought for Jack and for their love that SHE saw before him... has turned into a jackass (yes). Bo, who they paint as this hero who has always loved Hope more than anything, sleeps with his two exes when there's a hint of a problem with them. J&M are the only couple I believe actually love each other beyond anything (has a lot to do with chemistry, too). |
