Drake told me personally at DOD this year that Tomsell hated him and the character of John. He said that the writerS (plural) could be credited for his involvement again. I don't think that Higley hates J&M or S&K... I just think she had to write them out per Producers via the budget cuts. Same goes for Shelle and Thaao. That being said... I don't think she is a good storyteller. Whom ever was behind it, the baby-switch worked - aparently. Everything else was seemingly crap. I didn't even really watch the show for nearly 2 years during her last tenure. Each time I tuned in... I couldn't deal with MarSami, Safe, Melanie, Stephanie, Nathan, Taylor. MarDar got me tuned back in, but their stories were awful. Tomsell actually got me into the show from late 2012- fall 2014. Everything fell apart after losing JS, AS, ED & BB. I have hope for Ryan Quan. Wish his young blood could have been paired up with Broderick or, if only, Sheri Anderson. Sigh- Still, Dena.
How Higley feels about J&M isn't about whether they stay or go, it's what's in the writing, which is her responsibility. And I think she has less problems with the character of John than she does with Marlena. Which is why what could have been a J&M fan's wet dream come true, a re-do of the Pawn story in 2008... became about Ava and about NuJawn treating Marlena like dirt on his shoe for a long, good while. When she wasn't offscreen, that is. And about what she does to them when they haven't been let go for bullshit budget reasons. It's just the disrespect that comes across in her stories. I mean, she can't write good things for the people she does like, but she obviously thinks they're good stories (Nighttime Hope, Stefano-killer Hope, Goop!Hope, Hero!Rafe, Roman2!Rafe, Ava taking over several storylines in 2008).
This sums up the problem with Higley so well. She creates concepts that she then forces existing characters to fit regardless of whether they makes sense of the characters the audience had known for years. Making Hope a killer twice with bad (Nighttime Hope) and no (Killer Hope) justification destroys the character. How many people currently despise Hope? Coming out of Bo's death, this could have been a great story for Hope as she deals with the death of the love of her life, the near-disaster of marrying Aiden, and the difficulty with helping Ciara and Chase struggle with the deaths of their fathers -- deaths that would likely impact them in very different ways. There was so much amazing stuff that could have come out of Bo's death. Instead, we got Hope in an idiotic revenge and cover-up plot that has horribly undermined that character and trapped her in a bubble with Rafe and Andre, rather than the Hortons and Bradys that should be helping her through this tragedy.

He tweeted that he's back on Periscope. (ended 39 minutes ago)

I can't see Periscope from my desktop computer so I have no idea what he was saying/doing.

From a quick glance, he's mostly singing in his car with some pals.

ETA: He's also totally driving while taking long pauses to look at his phone. Sigh.

He's going to cause an accident if he is constantly checking that phone while driving.

Wasn't his brother or cousin on AMC played by James Scott (EJ)??, who ended up becoming a rapist on DAYS LOL His name was Ethan Combias I believe.
Ethan Cambias, played by James Scott, was Michael's nephew.

Michael was killed and hung up in a meat locker long before Ethan came to town.


OMG. The meat locker scene scared the shit out of me because, at one point, Bianca's sister comes to the scene and hallucinates that Michael isn't actually dead. His frozen eyelids opened. Terrifying.

I will say, though, that AMC treated Michael like the piece of shit that he was after he raped Bianca. Two characters tried to castrate him, his body was thrown in a dumpster, and then hung in a meat locker. No way in hell was he getting any kind of redemption story.
Who said Chase is getting a redemption story I don't think any of us no that for sure.

I really don't understand how it's irresponsible to tell a rape story if it's told well. And all indications thus far is that they intend to tell it the right way.

JMc's comments are inappropriate to say the least but they are his comments, not the show's. And if they are reflective of what Chase is supposed to think, or to have been thinking when it happened, then it's still not irresponsible if it's shown to be wrong.

Jack made similar comments after Kayla's rape (she was his wife, she had been unfaithful) and those comments were shown to be completely wrong. They can do something similar with this storyline.
I would hate to see how MA would of been received had social media been around when Jack raped Kayla. As for the rape story it's too early to tell how it will be told but, I've seen a lot of people claiming it won't be done right. I'm not happy about this story either but, what's done is done.

I'm not saying he will get redemption. I mainly said it because other rapists (see: Todd Manning, Jack, EJ, Luke Spencer, etc.) have gotten some form of redemption in the past. :shrug:

I don't know he drives when he keeps looking at the phone.

Even in the social media age, I don't think the problem is too many people are against rapists on-screen; unfortunately, I think the problem is the other way around. He's troubled, he's hot, he loves her, etc...

As long as MA didn't make comments similar to what Jonathan did, he would have been fine. :shrug:

Why is this fandom full of crazy when it's finally about to de-crazy on the air? And why can't actors just say "I messed up, sorry. I learned." Just be a person. Messing up is human, and how you handle it defines how you will be perceived.

Wait, maybe that's actually why. Oh, I see, we gotta choose now. Several layers of offscreen crazy or on air crazy. I'm both dreading and looking forward to next week DAYS wise. We may start seeing some tweets as the days pass. Good and bad stuff. Good luck to us all.

I swear some actors swallow their own foot, he's swallowed his leg, hips, and part of his waist. Just when you thought Social Media had calmed down about Steve getting raped, this happens.
