Chairperson Meow September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 I actually find Nina somewhat sympathetic. In a twisted way, even taking Avery was a skewed form of justice for her, as her child was essentially ripped from her womb before she could even get to experience pregnancy. Her husband, that she supported through med school, impregnates a hot blonde thing, while Nina loses years. Instead of being happy she's okay, he's inconvenienced by her. I'm not saying taking Avery was right, but I can see Nina's POV more clearly than Ava's "Let's frame AJ because he's a drunk.

If Nina wanted revenge, she should have gone after those that wronged her: Magda and Silas. There was absolutely no justification for Nina drugging Ava and then literally ripping Avery from her womb. Lets not forget she also then kidnapped Avery and fled the country. I can't believe Ava hasn't had that psychotic bitch murdered for a what she did. I would definitely get a day pass from The Barge to watch Ava get her revenge on Nina. She needs to get revenge on Morgan, Franco, Sonny, and Carly too while she is at it.

On the Sam front: I'm trying to find a better word that "rootable" to describe my reaction to the character. The writers have saddle Sam with the usual amount of heinous acts so I can't really single out her actions "get this wench off my screen" material. I don't root against Sam (I need that energy for pointlessly rooting against Sonny) but I can't get invested in her storylines most of the time. Individual scenes? Sure.

What it is translating on my screen is one episode stretched into four or five episodes. While it is a cost-effective method of using those shrinking operating expenses, the best method is reduce the largest operating expense which appears to be labor.

Her husband, that she supported through med school, impregnates a hot blonde thing, while Nina loses years. Instead of being happy she's okay, he's inconvenienced by her. I'm not saying taking Avery was right, but I can see Nina's POV more clearly than Ava's "Let's frame AJ because he's a drunk. " Nina really could have been a compelling character, if she woke up from her coma really wanting to rebuild her life, and had likeable qualities ... and only after slowly learning about how terribly she was betrayed, become devastated and vengeful. Y'know, if she wasn't a hammy cartoon. A different actress might have helped. But the writing would have had to be WAY better. She could still have taken Ava's baby, but there was no reason to make those scenes a disgusting horror flick. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/29/#findComment-1564757
Chairperson Meow October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 MSt actually is good. I've seen it. But the writing sucked. I actually believe that Ron wanted campy bs and got it. It did no service to the story nor ME or MSt or RoHo, who could've made a great triangle. Obviously, Ron was bent on doing a JaSam story, so any KeMo pairing won't work. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/29/#findComment-1564771
ulkis October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 I definitely think the actress may be more of a problem than the writing, for once. First of all, half the reason they wrote Nina the way they did was because she was their big get. Louder bigger crazier! Then the writing aside. Michelle Stafford repeating everything twice, her bug eyes, her shouting, her contortions, her seeming like she's trying to sound like a child. Also thrown in that physically the only person who may seem less appropriate for the part of a fragile woman-child coming out of a coma is big Alice. Just a recipe for failure, all around. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/29/#findComment-1564778
dubbel zout October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 (edited) Y'know, if she wasn't a hammy cartoon. And if they hadn't put her with the hammiest of hammy cartoons, Franco. Nina could have been decent if she'd had some time to genuinely readjust from the coma. They could have built to big and campy if that's what Ron really wanted (and it seemed it was). But as always, he expected us to instantly love her and accept whatever we're given. Let us get used to her for a bit before shoving her down our throats.

katie9918 October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I don't blame Patrick one bit for anything that happened after Robin's death, I blame Ron and Frank entirely. And yet at the same time, I blame Anna for ignoring Patrick and Emma for a year after Robin's death (after "comically" cringing every time anyone made reference to her being a grandmother) and being a horrible mother long before Robin "died" in 2012. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/29/#findComment-1565755
SlovakPrincess October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I think when Robin was a kid, Anna was a loving mom, just not always the most practical or dependable. But she tried, and she loved Robin ... and then Faison kidnapped her and she had amnesia for like a decade, so missing Robin's high school and college years was actually not her fault. I know she has majorly sucked under Ron's regime, and wasn't so great under Guza's writing, either. But it's such obvious hack writing that my mind refuses to accept it. See, also: Patrick. And Dante. And Liz and Nik (who I never loved, but c'mon, this is laughable. And the obnoxious way Robert was written by Guza. And the podperson Holly became. And Laura the stepdad killing zombie (Guza again). And the idea that Robin would meekly go off with Victor Cassadine in the first place. None of this is real characterization to me ... I miss likeable, flawed people who made sense. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/29/#findComment-1572775
HeatLifer October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 I kinda...sorta....have to admit....I kinda...like Jakeson. There's something appealing about this version of Jason who is not a dick.
