Patti

 but she’s got some great one-liners that just make me laugh out loud …. like Victor does!

 now there’s a pair of despicable characters for you!  These two should both get what’s coming to them, and preferably by Tripp and Ciara.  Also, the Bradys. Hortons and Kiriakises all need to stop and smell the coffee when it comes to Claire, because to me their overlooking her spoiled rotten, conniving and manipulative actions are what have now created that monster.

 everything was circumstantial or hearsay, with nothing to back it up except "speculation."  They shouldn’t even do trials if they can’t have at least some believability to them.  I just have to get up and walk away from the courtroom scenes; they are that bad! 

 did an excellent job of explaining it on today’s show.  She even told Abe that it usually corrects itself, and the most important concern was bleeding, as well as the possibility of premature birth. 

 but I’ve hated this storyline from it’s very beginning (even though I love Tyler Christopher).  It just makes no sense to me.  Where has this guy been all of Stefano’s life, or Vivian’s for that matter, and what excitment does it bring to the DiMera clan?  Nothing for this fan, but then neither does Abigail for me, and now with this DID sl, I just find her twice as annoying.  Sorry, I know lots of fans love Marci as Abigail Devereaux DiMera….really wish I could feel the love (sigh).  Shame on me, I guess, but I really loved Chad with Gabi….still do.

 it’s what makes me want to throw up my hands at a certain point and say, "I need a break from this."  It’s disgusting to watch and hear when you are an old-timer (like so many of us are on these boards), but we watch…day after dayafter day.  The complaints will do nothing about the writing, because this is the norm for ALL soaps.  This is why we see writers come and go so often …. no one seems to have a well established enough writer’s brain to come up with new ideas for soaps; one that hasn’t been used and ones that fans like us haven’t seen or heard hundreds of times.  Honestly, I do believe that the fans could easily write these stories much better than soap writers, who don’t know what’s going on around them in the present let alone what happened in the past.  "OI, I THINK I NEED ANOTHER BREAK."

 I’ve always convinced myself it was Vivian.  Poor Abby doesn’t even know who she is half the time, let alone what she does or what she says.  One day the writers make her appear to not remember the comings and goings from one altar to another, yet yesterday she seems to know the difference quite well when she’s with Stephan.  Sort of a writing boo-boo for me to belleve in the sl.  Guess Stephan just brings out the worst in her.  In any case, Birdinguildedcage, that’s a darn good guess, which I hope is the right one, because Trask definitely holds a grudge where Gabi is concerned.
