how this writing staff is permitted to continue with these horrible storylines. They are so bad that the actors themselves are looking and sounding horrible when they have to act them out, if that’s even what you can call it. Characters once loved and respected are now a chore to watch because the writing, as well as the storyline itself, is so pathetic. Damn shame. It tells me that soaps are a dying genre watched by many strictly out of habit, but still hanging on to a thin shred of hope that somewhere someone will care enough to fix it.
