We may be in the minority, but we are having trouble believing Holly’s anger about what Eric did to Daniel. For those who are new to the show, Eric was driving drunk and killed Daniel. It’s understandable that Holly would be upset that she was lied to about her father’s death, but we don’t buy it. Her acting isn’t genuine at all. Holly didn’t know Daniel so it’s hard to believe that she cared that much. Before you get shocked by what you read, please continue reading. Holly knew Eric as a father figure and now she’s treating him like dirt. She was raised by her mother her entire life, but she treated her like dirt. Maybe we’re being heartless, but we don’t feel her pain at all. We lost our father (R.I.P Daddy) so we know how that feels, but we were raised by our dad. She never knew Daniel, so her bitterness doesn’t feel genuine. Instead of cheering her on, we were rolling our eyes at her. Holly was right to get upset with Eric for the lie. She didn’t seem torn about her feelings at all. Holly went from zero to sixty with nothing in between. She was willing to hate Eric instantly without saying that she loved him, and he hurt her. We don’t feel sorry for Eric because he’s not a saint, but it’s hard to sympathize with Holly.
Speaking of Holly, she didn’t care about Sarah at all until she found out that Brady was accused of hitting her while he was drinking. She didn’t say two words to Sarah after she helped her recover from her drug overdose, but now we’re supposed to believe that she cares so much about Sarah’s accident. We know that she only cared because she felt guilty for her role in the accident. She also wants to take her anger at Eric out on Brady. When did Holly because the moral police? If she and Tate weren’t sneaking around the accident might have been prevented. Fiona might have hit someone else that night because Sarah wouldn’t have been on the road that night to get the keys for the cabin. She wants to help EJ prosecute Brady for the hit-and-run accident. Holly was willing to forgive EJ for what happened even though he knew what Eric did to Daniel. She should be mad at everyone who kept the truth from her, but she was mad at Eric and Tate. We know the writers must give Holly and Tate something to do now that Theresa and Nicole were written out, but this was ridiculous. Holly targeting Tate’s father won’t help them be a couple.
Speaking of Tate and Holly’s relationship, let’s briefly talk about the slant the writers put on Sophia’s character. For some reason, the writers chose to make her the villain in the story. She was the one who liked Tate first when Holly had feelings for Johnny. For some reason, she looks like a schemer since plotted against Holly and Tate to cause trouble. Holly kept the truth from her that Tate didn’t want her, but she looks like she’s suffering because of her. We want to see what Sophia does to Holly and Tate since they went behind her back and hooked up.
Stefan might be getting his karma for what he did to Chad. He was upset that EJ slept with Gabi. Did he forget that he did the same thing to Chad? Stefan’s actions are supposed to be okay because he didn’t know about Abby’s DID, but he still had an affair with her. Fast forward and he’s upset that Gabi slept with EJ. We think he got what he deserved when EJ did the same thing to him. Gabi didn’t have to jump in bed with his brother, but he knows how that feels. For some reason, Johnny judged EJ for being with Gabi. He understood why Stefan slept together, but he thought it was wrong for him to be with Gabi.
Is anyone else ready to throw something at Brady whenever he’s shown? We know that we are. His family wants to help him, but he insists on being punished. He thinks that getting punished will make up for what he thinks he did to Sarah. Earlier in the week, he wanted Ava to keep the fact that she saw him with Fiona quiet. We don’t understand why he would do that when that would prove he could be innocent. He insisted that she didn’t tell anyone that she saw him with her. It didn’t make any sense because he didn’t remember hitting Sarah and that could explain it. He’s trying so hard to be a martyr in the story. We know that he’s innocent, but he doesn’t know. His family has to beg him not to plead guilty because he would lose his family. He knows he has people who want him around, but he refuses to listen to them.
Fiona should feel bad for what she did to Sarah and Brady. She just made up with Xander, and she’s going to ruin her relationship with him again. Fiona hit Sarah and didn’t say anything about it. She allowed was willing to smother Sarah to keep her from talking about what she did. If she cared about her son, she wouldn’t have tried to kill his wife twice. She also allowed Brady to take the fall for her crime. Fiona told Xander and Sarah not to pursue Brady because it’s not worth it. If you committed the crime, you wouldn’t want them to pursue it either.
