When Trask was telling Li about her bike trip in Napa & how she knew the wine brand that she had seen the wine that was in front of her, that Li had ordered. That bike trip never happened. I get that it was Trask’s backstory, but remember this: What about the time period of that bike trip, was there the inception of Trask, then? That this show has been doing rampantly, now haven’t they.
It makes no difference if Trask existed when the trip happened. It’s a memory we don’t have to see. It just adds to her story and makes her more interesting.
It does make a difference if Trask existed when the trip happened, because it gave the illusion that the character was there before the show concepted her character. Yes, I know that we don’t have to see the memory, but what I’m getting at is that Huang’s character gave the illusion that before her character was concepted had that trip take place. Just like with Chanel. What happened in college involving Sloan’s parents, that event never took place, because as to when the writing team concepted as to why Sloan took it out on Chanel & her mother. They can’t prove that it took place, because the said characters are deceased, they never had actors playing them, now did they?
My question is why you can’t suspend disbelief to believe an event took place in a character’s back story before a character was on the show? When Days started nearly 60 years ago, every character had a back story. The show wasn’t even on air before then. It is no difference for Trask to have a back story before her character appeared on screen. Remember the daughter she had that lived in China? We didn’t have Trask’s character when she got pregnant, but we go the story later. We also know Trask is divorced without ever having seen her ex-husband. Every character comes to the show with a back story that will develop as the character is onscreen more often or becomes a bigger part of the show. If Trask only popped on to be DA, there would be no back story. I have a feeling, she is going to be around more often and there are plans to put her and Li Shin together, despite the bad date.
Remember, Rafe was fired for having relations with an employee, do you really think that Trask is going to keep her job, no matter if the charges is dropped or not, remember, how perception threw Sonny K out of his family business, so you think that the perception of Trask’s romance with Li is going to allow her to keep her job?
What I’m trying to get at with Trask’s backstory is that, we know about Trask’s daughter, that was played up when Abe, Jack & Trask was running for Mayor, they had played up that Wendy, Trask’s daughter, the one that had the romance with JJ, was an illegal, she had to put out there the truth of her, hence, bringing up that Wendy ended up being an illegal.
The only reason as to why she was killed in a staircase fall was because Victor & Xander gave Kristen a dead baby, & they never focused on that, they thought it was a wise move to have Kristen take the blame for it.
What I’m getting at is this, with Trask’s backstory, they could have easily had written that she & Stefan were drinking it when they were faking their romance for EJ’s benefit, instead of bringing up a bike trip through where, that’s what I’m getting at.
