The writers are going overboard manipulating the audience into thinking Gwen is the villain when it comes to Dimitri and Leo. Were we supposed to forget that Dimitri was the one who used Gwen to get an inheritance? He was also the same one who cheated on her with her best friend. Now that she wants to make Dimitri pay for what he did, she is suddenly the villain? Don’t get us wrong. Gwen is a villain. She’s just not one in this storyline. No matter how annoying the writers make Gwen, she is not the bad guy. Dimitri deserves everything Gwen does to him and more. We don’t sympathize with him just because he fell in love with Leo and can’t be with him. It serves him right that he can’t be with Leo after what he did to Gwen.
Trey’s christening was missing some people. Johnny didn’t have any of his relatives at the christening. It’s not like he doesn’t have family in Salem yet none of them were there. The writers came up with a way to explain some of his family being missing, but didn’t explain why the rest of them weren’t there. Roman, in particular, should have been at the christening. There was no mention of him being out of town the way Marlena and Belle conveniently were. The christening may have been short notice but that doesn’t justify why people weren’t there.
Javi showed that he has a bitter side. He refused to listen to Leo when he tried to save their marriage. Javi must have forgotten that he was the one who told Leo to go to Dimitri. Leo did what he wanted him to do. He chose Javi but it wasn’t enough for him. We know the writers had to come up with a reason to write Javi’s character off the show, but they could have done a better job than that. Javi could have left town to be with his father and still stayed married to Leo. We read that Javi’s character was getting recasted so there was no reason to have him break up with Leo.
Is anyone else sick of watching Stephanie play the victim in the stalker story? We know she’s being targeted, but we find ourselves rooting for the stalker. She doesn’t seem to care much about her life being on the line. All she’s worried about is having sex with Alex. She doesn’t even appreciate the efforts Steve is doing to protect. He put his life on hold to make sure she was safe, but all she whines about is wanting to be alone with Alex. Steve should leave the apartment and let the stalker get Stephanie. We know he wouldn’t do that because he loves her, but it would serve her right if the stalker got her. The stalker story isn’t a bad story, but they put someone in the story that we don’t care about. We like how Steve is involved in the story, but he’s not in it enough.
We were proud of Chad for standing up to Jennifer when she told him to stay away from Cat. Jennifer had a lot of nerve expecting him to follow her orders in order for him to keep his children. We understand that she has issues with Cat, but she didn’t have the right to tell him who he should see. Chad shouldn’t be with Cat after what she did to him but it should be his decision whether or not he wants to be around her. Jennifer is lucky he hasn’t tried to keep the kids from her. If he wants to be petty, he could take the kids on a private island and keep them from her. He chose to let Jack and Jennifer be in the kids’ lives yet that’s not enough for Jennifer. She wants to control him as if she has more of a say with the kids than he does. We enjoyed watching tell her that he would fight her for the kids if she didn’t agree to his terms.
