Now, there are 2 main reasons I watch soaps.
1. The endless romance
2. The crazy story lines
I don’t know about the rest of you, but in my view DOOL has been lacking in both. The writers have had numerous opportunities to write romance into the storyline, but instead chose to give us disjointed unions that have been rushed from the beginning, or were never given a chance. Stefano and Kate are the one true romantic couple on the show. As for the craziness, Vivian gave us a taste of whacko, but why make her feel remorse for what she’s doing? It’s a soap, I want a psycho, not a psycho with a conscience. Remember crazy-Jan?, That’s what I thought.
So, here are my suggestions:
1. Let Chloe pick a fight with Carly. Maybe Carly falls out a window? Philip will be an understanding shoulder for Chloe, and Carly and Dan (or Carly and Rafe) could start a relationship as we all know Bope will be back together in the not to-distant future.
2. Let Lindsay Hartley (Arianna) showcase her talent! She’s the best little crier out there, so give her a storyline fitting of her talents. I for one would love Ejanna, & it has many potential pitfalls along the way. Lindsay and Stefano facing off? That would be amazing.
3. Bring back Meredith and Lawrence! These will be our psychos without consciences. Lawrence would want revenge on Carly, Dan, Melanie, and I’m sure Vivian as well. After all, she failed in avenging his death. As for Meredith, she’d be after Rafe, Arianna, Gabi, and everyone connected to them. And we, along with Sami, will finally learn what happened to Emily. Mer and Larry could even team up!
I’m not asking for Passions-level crazy. I don’t want a hermaphrodite serial killer who’s in love with Brady, raped his half-sister, had an affair with his uncle, and gave birth to his father’s child. But this year I DO want to see someone buried alive, someone pushed off a cliff, and someone to go from normal to b*tch in 5 seconds flat! Oh, and McKenzie Westmore as Emily,
