I may have been listening to the tortured poets dept too much this weekend, but here's how I would like to see my Nina; "so i jump from the gallows and levitate down your street, screaming WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME" lol I'm actually going to watch today's show. Because I am not going to miss Cynthia and Maura on their A game.

It's actually Carly and Jagger keeping me away from watching, two weeks straight now. I kept hoping it was a false alarm and I could go back, but I refuse to watch while they waste the one hot guy in that age range we've had in years, who can act! Nah. I won't go back until that is over, and if it doesn't end, then I'm a former viewer for good. I've gotten to the point where this favorable writing for Carly, the minimums, the always winning and every guy falling for her have made me unreasonable. And I know that. I don't care. I honestly hate the character and I hate the writers who have now, unbelievably! doubled down on her. I can't even believe it.

I did. I didn't watch any episode last week, and having read the spoilers for this coming week, I won't be watching. That will be two weeks. That's how routines form. I really don't know what will bring me back at this point. As long as the writing is this slanted and agenda-driven, there's nothing for me. And I agree with you about Korte.

Yeah but I call for that all of the time. I have called for that for years now. I got this. This unwatchable week. So thanks? But I would never tag or attack any of the actors, that's low class and not my style.

I haven't watched all week. Every recap makes me feel sick. If they hate Nina or Cynthia so much why not write her off the show? Because they want to use her to fluff their pets. Same as it ever was, except this time I happen to love the character. So that's one week I've lapsed. What would bring me back? Not more of this I can tell you that. I may be done for good. They'd have to rewrite Nina, and I don't think they want to. I think someone(s) have their hands down their pants there writing this stuff. Or it's ABC, which means Nathan, and I don't believe for one moment he cares enough to agenda direct things this way. I don't understand it, but then I remember what they did to AJ. What they did to Julian. All for the benefit of their little pets. And I'm sure there were others. So it is what it is. The show is not for me at this time. Does anyone here watch Days? Should I start watching that? Or Bold?

OH BOY Look, I totally agree with her, but it's a direct shot at Laura freaking Wright, first of all. And Mo and very soon SBU as well. I am NOT criticizing her for saying what she said, but this was a "i said what i said" moment.

Whatever happened to Tylenol PM?

Absolutely ludicrous, agenda-pushing writing.

I just feel that having an entire episode where everyone is talking about Carly and Nina, and Carly is portrayed as brave and strong and "stunningly resilient", while telling lies. Absolute lies. Diane telling Jason that Carly lost the hotel due to one word "Nina", is such a blatant lie. Nina had nothing to do with Carly losing the hotel. Carly lost it because she made a bad investment. Period. That bad investment ended up being due to insider trading. Which is also illegal, but at the time it was just a bad investment the writers didn't even seem to know that it was insider trading until later. So what did Nina have to do with that? Can anyone tell me? So we have juxtaposed writing. Everyone bashing Nina (she painted a bathroom!) while fluffing Carly. How can anyone say this isn't agenda writing? This is not character driven writing. This is agenda writing. How is this good writing? It's not right to blame Korte? That's fine. It's Patrick AND Korte. And it's bad, agenda shipping writing. With a strong message; If you don't want to see Carly getting her ass licked every show, then this show isn't for you. Message received.

They said that about porn dialog because Nina is so hated. I honestly don't know if they will be able to keep her on the show. The last time I saw this level of viciousness it was after Val slept with Dante, and we see what happened to her. Then there is the added fury over Nina and Drew being so hot, while Crew flopped and had zero fire. So they are off the rails. Off. The. Rails. This is why I worry that Cynthia will not be on the show by the end of this year. I have seen this song before.

I have been wondering if one of them is Cynthia. If it is, maybe that will free me, because I will be so mad I won't watch. I honestly thought ME was leaving when I heard that throwaway line "I miss doctors without borders". So I kind of believe the rumors.

Tanisha is so beautiful that I haven't noticed she can't act. I guess I'll take everyone's word for that. Speaking of not being able to act, Eden isn't getting enough heat. I used to really like her, but they have turned her into a one-note banshee just like mom. Friday's show as the last straw for me. Absolutely zero nuance or vulnerability or layers. She's fast becoming my second instant fast forward actor on the show. Mommy is number 1. Eden is a perfect example of a young person who stayed too long on daytime. And picked up the worst habits. I think it's because she molded herself on Laura. Laura has a few more layers she can play, but she is often much more one note than anyone really wants to admit. I have no problems with cast cuts, but I really think they have wasted Cody. He's hot and should have been the town bimbo causing trouble of the SEXUAL kind all over town, and certainly within the Q mansion. They really screwed the pooch with that character. Not the actor's fault. But it happened.

I was afraid my ears would start bleeding during those Joss scenes yesterday. They really have turned her into a mini-me. And I'm sorry but the actress brings zero nuance to the character. Actually, I'm not sorry to say it. I'm sorry for having experienced it. Also; who pulled the trigger, dummy?

I agree it's different, but was always struck that no one who worked there told Lulu to get out. She actually should have been removed by security. As far as Portia being unprofessional, Kevin was the first one who was strikingly unprofessional by discussing a patient in the hallway. And with a reporter no less! Portia should have told him to get his ass in her office and reamed him. But I'm fine with the writing the way it was. I love a good soapy scene and I felt like it was that. :)

I'm totally behind Portia. I don't care about decorum. That hospital has seen worse. Lulu screaming WHORE at Liz while no one there told her to GTFO comes to mind. At least I can believe Portia would have thrown Lulu out on her ass. I don't know what's happening with Kevin but the writing for Laura needs to change. She's the mayor and if she had any involvement at all, or even if her husband was involved and she went along passively, the campaign run against her for freeing a cop killer would not be nuanced. No "oh well she didn't really free him she just stood there with a dumb look on her face" and a few "haven't you noticed the cop-killer's IMPROVEMENT?" comments. She'd be out on her ass. They need to fix Laura, because I love her and I'm sorry, this ain't Laura. Laura is not stupid, Laura is not naive, Laura is not a pushover.
