What is with making all the classic characters into deadbeat dads?

I am not committed one way or another to "Sami is scheming with Kate" hypothesis but if that's the case, is it wrong that I am feeling sorry for EJ? |

This is the first time it didn't feel revisionist. John & Marlena were constantly up in their neck in something when Brady & Belle were kids: Maison Blanche, Possession, Aremid, Paris, Secret Room. The nanny line made me cock my eyebrow, John-style, and that's a fact. John & Marlena were definitely more there for their kids when they could be - but they certainly weren't 9-5 working parents, either. I wish we would see more of the grey area of you weren't there enough over you weren't there. Same with Theresa vs. Shane/Kim. It's more interesting that way. Edited by Keith, Jun 16 2014, 12:21 PM.

I can actually deal with Brady dragging John because they're both coming from different places & different experiences. Also, viewers joked for years about who was minding the kids (esp. since soap kids are mostly seen only for family scenes & stuff & can go months without appearing) when all the supercouples were having all of their big ol' adventures. |

Well, considering that drastic SORAS, John & Marlena weren't around for either Belle or Brady from elementary school to high school. lol They were in Hawaii. |

there was clearly a Crisco shortage in LA whenever these scenes were taped because it's all in EJ's hair |

Because they can't make their new characters interesting on their own. They have to use the show stars to build them up and give them reasons for all the crap they pull. It's too bad new viewers probably think it's all true. |

Most deadbeat dads don't get accused of being too busy being a super hero... |

But being that Brady is 40 something now, shouldn't he have realized by now that his parents were usually gone because of Stefano and it wasn't to spite his sorry butt? |

So from the looks of it....it does seem like Rafe doesn't break up with Jordan officially when he sleeps with Kate...wow they really are portraying him to be an ass aren't they? |

Because he's pussy-whipped and thinks Sami would be suspicious of him if he didn't want everything she wanted? |

Thing is, I'm not convinced he is supposed to be 40. Martsolf is, yes. He's probably 30s and before the Kristen mess, Brady seemed to have had a fine relationship with John & Marlena. John doing what he did was beyond out of character, but he still did it - so I think its an example of old issues coming out. I wish Brady would have issues with John not being there as an adult the last few years. Mardar created this ideas that they are grown apart as ADULTS and I'm still waiting for that story to happen. |
