The sad thing is that Days has always emphasized that Family is not just biological it is about the bond between the two people who don't share DNA but love each other nonetheless.. I find it disrespectful that the show has become close-minded on what constitutes a family..

She is married to Victor the man who once sent goons after her daughter Melissa to hurt her so....

I thought "doubt" in season 6 was a good episode because it explored the biases of Both Benson and Stabler. The lady who accused the man of rape was not a sympathetic victim to say the least especially after she accused Stabler of inappropriate touching after he took her home. The man who was accused of rape was a college professor who was a philanderer who had romances with his students so he had no problems with engaging in relationships with women that could be deemed inappropriate. Benson automatically took the lady's side while Stabler who was going through a separation with his wife was skeptical of the rape victim because of her shady past. Both Benson and Stabler at different times in the episode shifted from their original opinions because they had doubts. The nuanced storytelling would never happen today because Benson is always right. In this episode she had doubts about the victim's veracity when it came to her accusations. I absolutely loved the ending when we the audience had no idea if the jury sided with the victim or the accused because it faded to black as the verdict was being read.. Honorable mention goes to Viola Davis as a tough defense attorney even if it was a small role and the actress who played the attorney for the rape victim who accused Stabler of harassing her client.

He seems obsessed with Khloe . Plus, people need to remember that he dumped Taraji Henson for Khloe so that lets you know who Lamar is.. Since Khloe is a desperate pathetic woman I would not be surprised if she goes back to Lamar after Tristan dumps her for good..

Sarah not being a biological Horton fit in perfectly due to her crazy actions during that time. the Horton family did have mental illness in their family. Neil was very pushy and he reminded me of Bill Horton when it came to Mike Horton who only saw Mickey as his dad. I wished that Sara had remained on the show after the Neil reveal.. Sarah was pretty tight with Carrie and Jennifer.. Sarah left the show after Hope's funeral she was pretty devastated..

I did not see the show today. Did they include the Miami storyline and the Greece storyline. Both stories were centered on Victor and his villainy at the time. The Miami storyline was about his obsession with Kim his criminal empire and the Greece storyline was about how Victor's brother Alexander was killed and how that affected him and Justin. Not to mention he used that opportunity to hurt Adrienne.. Victor was really cruel to Adrienne. He was truly a bastard..

Both Ben and Victor targeted Hortons so they should have never gotten ornaments. I believe that only the direct descendants of Tom and Alice should get ornaments..

Stefano should have died years ago he wore out his welcome. Stefano living well in the same town as his many victims was just too much. It made no sense that nobody killed him like Hope did. The show is just obsessed with the Dimera family and they are also lazy to create new compelling villains. Stefano was much better in the 80's. Victor being in Salem never bothered me much because we had years of him being in the background and the writers never showed him doing vile things like Stefano. Also, Victor never targeted everybody like Stefano..

She also killed four other people in the plane crash that she engineered so she is a serial killer. Not to mention that she kidnapped baby Joey, Stefanie and Hope at different time in her reign of terror. We all know the many ways that she targeted Kayla and Steve.

An executive allegedly actually took both actresses into a room to discuss their personal issues that never impacted the storylines by the way and it went horribly wrong. It actually made things worst. Let's not forget that rumor has it that Alyssa went to the producers telling them that it was either her or Shannen. I find that hard to believe though. I never believed that Shannen was jealous of Alyssa being the focus of season 3 as Phoebe. You are correct in saying that we should not blame all men on the show. I think that we should blame the only man responsible for Shannen's departure from the show: Brad Kern. He ran off Constance Burge from her own show simply for disagreeing with him about Cole. In hindsight she was correct in my humble opinion. It was schadenfreude for me when years later that Brad Kern got ran off of a show for creating a toxic work environment for women and sexually harassing them..

I was grossed out. I always thought that Kristen should have gotten with Eric back in the day when they were scheming to break up Jarlena.

My cynical self is thinking that she is following Kim's lead in taking out that butt implants since they no longer have any use for Black men and now want to be with White men.. I doubt that Kylie will stay with her baby daddy as time goes on..

Cynthia Hopper was despised the fans of ER if I am not msistaken. I thought that Hargitay was really good in the early years when the show had good writers and she was acting opposite Christopher Meloni as Stabler. Olivia and Stabler really balanced each other.

To be fair Steve was believed to be dead for many years and when he came back he was an amnesiac. We should have seen Jada hanging out with Steve and Kayla and it would have been a good way for Jada to cross paths with Eric.. Jada and Eric could have been a fun couple where they just enjoyed each other without expectations. Eric smiling and just being laidback could have been a breath of fresh air from his usual gloomy and broody self. Perhaps we could have gotten a backstory that Jada had lost a baby and that ruined her past relationship. Jada getting pregnant by Eric would have had more depth and I wanted her to have her baby.. Her pregnancy and subsequent abortion was always a plot point to drive a wedge between Eric and Nicole.. Same old same old with a couple that was always mismatched in my humble opinion.. Nicole like Sami shines with a grey character while Eric would have been better with a classic heroine..

Olivia always excuses bad behavior by women who have been rape victims and she has crossed the line so many times that it always seemed that she was a sponge during the Stabler years and absorbed all of his bad traits. What is it with Mariska's whispering for dramatic effect, it just cracks me up whenever she does this acting tick as Olivia..

I really hated what they did to that FBI lady and if they wanted to do that story that was based on a lady cop in real life then they should have introduced a new character that season who fit in right in with the squad and then we find out during the penultimate episode of that season that she had covered up a murder years ago when she was a new cop as a young lady..

Salem already accepted Wilson, Paul/Sonny and even Paul/Will so the town not being accepting of Chanel/Allie would have made no sense. If Ron wanted to do something new, he could have had Paulina objected to Chanel not dating anybody Black.. She only seems to date nonBlacks whether they are men or women..

When I read your post it seemed like you were trying to insinuate that she would be a terrible grandmother to her grandchildren like people on here like to say that she is a terrible awful mother to her children. Sunny can't do anything right not even mother her own children that she fought to have after losing 5 before she had the two she was blessed to have. People are still triggered over Sunny not being interested in a movie so my apologies if I got your post wrong.

He is being an asshole to Nicole because he feels that she played a role in his baby getting aborted. I am disappointed in how Ron is writing Eric but Nicole put herself in his private business and she is getting what she deserved.. She was being jealous and spiteful when she inserted herself in Jada's business because she cannot give Eric a baby while Jada could..

Why would Sunny say that since her children have Black noses and that would be anti-Black. Sunny is far from that.. Plus, Sunny would love her grandchildren no matter what.. Women in all professions get paid less than men and women have the right to ask for parity.. I remember years ago actresses in Hollywood were complaining about this when it comes to their male counterparts.. Should they not get parity because they make a lot of money anyway..

Megan is being excoriated on tweeter for inserting herself in a sad situation that has nothing to do with her and making it all about her alleged lifelong pain about being bullied for her beliefs.

Never mind..

Why does Ron have to make Eric so pathetic? it is embarrassing at this point. I had no problem with him being nasty to Belle though. I find her so annoying constantly thinking that she is better than Sami while bedding her sister's husband. Belle the serial cheater who is not woman enough to go after who she really wants..

Ana has been cold to Alyssa and I would expound on that but it would be off-topic Women go after women out of jealousy envy and feeing intimidated. Pettiness and meanness are a part of toxic femininity.. Like the guest host said today toxic masculinity is more of a threat to women than toxic femininity.

Alyssa was playing victim and it seemed like a comment that should have been said behind the scenes. Ana has never been aggressive towards her though so I don't even understand why she even made that comment..
