Nicole and Eric had their going away party this week. We may be alone here, but we aren’t upset that they are leaving. The writers also squandered an opportunity to finish Nicole’s story properly. Arianne Zucker’s departure has been announced for months so they had time to write a proper farewell to a actress who has been with the show for 25 years. With that said, Nicole didn’t find out what Holly did. Holly snuck to the Horton cabin to be with Tate. She’s been spending time with him, and it happened right under Nicole’s nose. Where’s the confrontation and pay off for that? Why did Holly get to decide that she was staying in Salem? Nicole is the parent and she let. 17 year old child tell her that she wasn’t going with her. Is Nicole that much of a wimp? She should have made Holly go with her. Nicole didn’t seem too disappointed by it since she could focus on her life with Eric and Jude. She only cares about her child with Eric. Nicole has the little family she always wanted so she is fine to leave. We know that Arianne Zucker and Greg Vaughn were written out, but the writers could have written a better story than that. It was a slap in the face for someone who spent so many years on the show.
What are the writers thinking with the Body and Soul storyline? They are wasting time having Kate and Abe involved in this soap within a soap storyline. This is not the comic relief we need right now. We know it’s an excuse to give Diedre Hall something else to do. Unfortunately, we don’t need to see Hattie again. She’s not an integral character on the show so we don’t need her back. Diedre Hall probably enjoys playing her to get a break from Marlena, but she’s a waste of a character. We would rather the writers give Abe and Kate better stories than this.
Speaking of a waste of characters, when are the writers getting rid of Connie? She is getting shoved down our throats. Connie killed Li and Bobby. The writers put her in the middle of two stories for no reason. She always hears everything no matter what. Connie has great timing to hear things that other people say no matter how close they are. Other people can’t hear conversations when they are practically in the room with other characters. Now she has killed Bobby. He’s a useless character too. We’re not upset that he’s gone. There was no need to write his character into the show. He was another useless character who provided anything to the show. His character was written out and looked like a killer. Who knows when Connie will get caught for what she did.
Marlena might have to reconsider her career. She didn’t notice that Bobby was pretending to be Everett. Marlena was the one who allowed him to check out because she believed he was Everett. She is supposed to be a great psychiatrist, but she didn’t realize that he was faking. It might be time to do something else with her life if she couldn’t tell he was lying to get out of Bayview.
Why do the writers keep having Brady spiral out of control? How many times do we have to see him fall off the wagon? We know that people get weak, but he always falls off the wagon. It feels like that’s the only story the writers know how to give him. Now he’s hooking up with Fiona. He’s hooking up with Xander’s mother because of Theresa. Brady wasn’t with Theresa, so it didn’t make sense for him to fall off the wagon because of her. We feel like the writers don’t know what to do with Brady anymore.
