The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

I have no words for this. It's a bunch on BS and Belle needs to watch both Shawn and Philip chase after Chloe and leave her in the dust. Fix Belle and fix Shelle before I throw in the towel and give up on the couple I rooted for 16 years now. |

So she responds to Shawn's "rejection" and lack of appreciation by rejecting and not appreciating Claire!? or the husband who dropped his entire life in Maine to save the marriage she wrecked by opening her legs to some random dude?? I fail to see how any of this makes any sense??? |

I think MM is presenting what she's been given....Its the writing not the actress. |

Oh, I'm not saying "recast Belle!" But I do think that this direction plays to her strengths as an actress more than writing for a "sweet" Belle would. She never pulled that off for me the last time, so I'd rather see them tweak this than change direction. |

With the way she has been treating Shawn, what does she expect him to do? I mean :lol: I was all about this new attitude on Belle but now it's just getting annoying. She gets pissy at the dumbest shit. Edited by laurondo, Feb 16 2016, 07:47 PM.

They don't need to recast for Belle to be nicer. It's the writing, not necessarily the actress. |

I think it is both the writing and acting that are failing the character. :peek: Edited by Deverauxfan, Feb 16 2016, 08:13 PM.

I still like this Belle. She is probably depressed and that's why she acts like she acts. Maybe she just needs some help. And no to Shelle at this point! Edited by thepadange, Feb 16 2016, 08:18 PM.

It might not make sense because you're trying to apply the preview to what aired a few weeks ago. |

Not exactly. It is a fact that she did cheat, and he did come back from Maine to make things right with her. She doesn't seem to care and is acting cold and unfeeling towards everyone that crosses her path; Claire, Shawn, her parents/Philip (to some extent) and others. It's hard to sympathize with her in any form. She's not coming across as rootable at all. This is not like when Steve abandoned Kayla for years or when Jack left Jennifer and Abigail and returned with his tail behind his legs back in 2001. However you look at it, Belle is in the wrong, she's the one who cheated and is acting like a bitch. Her actions don't make any sense. You have marital problems, you talk about them. You don't go looking for the next available warm body and then act all high and mighty as if the universe owes you an apology. Edited by PetrovaSalvatore, Feb 16 2016, 09:18 PM.

I like Shawn and Belle, but right now Shawn deserves better than Belle. |

Well yeah. In real life you do. Not on a soap. But that's not really the point. The current rejection has nothing to do with anything she did a few weeks ago. I'm not denying she cheated. I'm not denying anything actually. But comments in this article aren't going to explain something from a month or two ago. If you're expecting an article about upcoming scenes to explain previous scenes...well...that's not going to happen. Meanwhile, you're describing pretty common responses to rejection. They're doing a horrible job of explaining Belle, but it's pretty typical for someone who's been rejected to act out. |

Everyone doesn't talk about marital problems. We don't know the history between Belle and Shawn and why she cheated, so it's hard to understand what's happening, but the people that I've known who've divorced have had various reactions. One friend became a hermit that was hard to get out, another was like a person released from prison, constantly going out, enjoying her freedom. For all we know, Belle tried to talk to Shawn, and he ignored her till she had the affair. Maybe after he said he didn't want to discuss the divorce, she came to grips with it and realized she likes her freedom and doesn't want to go back to married life now that he's decided to talk. I can see that. Shawn could have been perfect and Belle was just a fickle wife. Most likely, it was just a couple who had grown apart, taken each other for granted. Basically, we don't know any real background on exactly what happened, but I'm not seeing some alien crazy person with Belle. She seems human, a bit bitter and frustrated and out of kilter, but I'm fine with that. I would like her to have a better relationship with Claire, Marlena, John, etc, but hopefully that will change now as she settles down from a tumultuous time. I actually like this story line and hope to get more background. These characters need a reset, and it feels like one. |

I'm really hoping she talks to her parents soon. MM posted pics with Deidre and Drake on separate days in September so hopeful Belle gets some time to talk to he parents about what's going on. |

Thank you JCP.

My guess is the writers are doing this deliberate with the intention of having the teens get in trouble and act out. We have Joey's dad shack up with Ava to give him excuse to act out. We have Claire's mom acting cold so Claire can join in what the teens do to get in trouble. We have Ciara having something terrible happen to her to give her an excuse to get in trouble. |
