Dear Belle,

It doesn't matter if Shawn was dismissive. . . you cheated on your spouse.

Sincerely,

The Viewers


Is Days really trying to justify her cheating on Shawn? Really!?1/

It was nice watching Claire and Joey!! glad the show acknowledges that they're related. The scene at the end with Claire/Joey/Theo was great!! Go Teens!!!

This sounds pretty awful so far
The wedding and the kidnapping stories should be playing today. Surely the Bummer story could take a week or two off.
a week or two or . . . FOREVER.

I didn't take it as "justifying" it as much as explaining it. Just because someone offers a reason for an action doesn't necessarily mean that the character (or the show) is trying to justify the action. It doesn't have to be as simple or straightforward as that. Belle can try to explain why she did what she did without Shawn (or the audience or the show) accepting that it excuses it or makes it okay.

I was never a big Martha Madsion fan, but these scenes are not helping me like her any better. I seriously hate her version of Belle. Now more than before in 2004-07.
KS's version of Belle was a bitch as well, though. I feel like so many people were able to be blind to Belle because a) Sami was there and b) she smiled through her bitchiness. From the moment she found out the alien twins were her siblings, all throughout the SSK storyline, to the beginnings of Phelle she was a horror with a sweet smile.
Belle became a bitch when MM took over and she started dangling Shawn and Philip around like puppets. KS was teen/young adult-college Belle her attitudes were appropriate. Yes she was always a little spoiled and a bit self-absorbed but that came with being brought up as the "golden child" but she was also kind, compassionate and empathic towards others and their feelings. she'd never throw shade at the Brady's like MM's Belle did today. But then again I understand that I have to blame the writing and not MM. But either way MM has never transmitted Belle's warmth the things that made her "Belle". It's a 180 from what the character was/is supposed to be.
Just like sorased Brady, sorased Belle has never had a consistent personality or consistent writing. I remember how, when Brady was being a total psycho asshole, Belle suddenly changed from agreeing that Brady had problems to being Brady's cheerleader. Langan could never figure out what the hell he was doing with either of them And it is still going on. Each new writer thinks they can do whatever they want with them.

I cannot stand Belle! She is so mean and cold.
I couldn't believe the "chowder" remark. I can't stand her - officially.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep

That's my problem with soap operas. Characters sometimes become too inconsistent due to various writing regime changes!!

I agree 100% with everything you wrote!! PREACH :hail: :hail: :hail:

Maggie told summer she lost her shoe charm when she bumped into her. Talking about missing Daniel
It's been over TWO MONTHS, Mags! You and Nicole are the only ones actively missing Daniel.

So since now know Abby isn't actually going to die, I wonder what Chad will be doing over the summer months, until Abby shows up onscreen again. Just praying new actress has chemistry with BF.

This thread & todays show really do showcase the difference in writing - Belle under Higley (which IMO today's script was w/all the Daniel mentions) is a fickle C. I love her, but I'll happily concede that point. Belle under JG (which was the past couple of epi's w/Belle in Lawyer mode) is a no nonsense woman who knows what she's doing, even if her personal life is jacked up.

Regardless of who portrays her, the writing for her is just abysmal - I'd much rather see her as Lawyer & Mom w/a screwed up love life, than a fickle C who is hopping in & out of bed w/Philip in a vain attempt to deflect her actually having to figure out who the hell she is/should be.


Like, dislike - IDGAF - but this is my take on it. B-)

That remark really ticked me off. I can't believe that John Black's daughter would make a remark like that.

I'm really liking the teen dynamic. Except for Claire and Chase, they all grew up in Salem and Claire is related to two of them. It makes sense for them to all be fiercely protective of Ciara. I like this better than the adult characters who have long histories/are related but are never in scenes together.

Belle sounds brutal today. Lawyer Belle or home with her parents Belle is much better
I can't imagine Kirsten Storms' Belle ever saying something so despicable about the Bradys.
In all fairness, MM (or KS, for that matter) doesn't write the show. She just acts what she's been given. So, although I don't really like how they're writing Belle, I don't really blame Martha. KS would probably break out Belle's bitchy side for this writing, too. She's quite good at it on GH. LOL.
1000 x this ^^^
MM is not to blame for the crap the writers are doing to her character &
if KS was playing Belle now it would probably be the same .

Philip gets attacked while standing close to "shady bystander" Belle. Clearly this guy does not care about being ID'ed unless of course he plans on getting rid of both of them which doesn't sound too bad at this point!!

You know what I think, I think the Brady in you is coming out. Someone has a dream, wants a different kind of life, they're getting above themselves, right? If you had it your way Claire would be serving chowder in your Grandmother's pub


I think for this whole comment all the Brady's need to get in line and kick her ass.
