wyatt and nicole alone

I blame this on the writing and the directing, not the actress. Nicole has had some GREAT scenes, especially with her Dad when it was revealed that Sasha was her Sister. They overdo the spunk with Sasha and play it down too much with Nicole. There is no balance. When the character of Nicole first appeared she had a LOT of life and spunk, but then we saw her dragged down with being guilted into carrying her Sister's baby, because she felt she owed her..combine that with the hurt of Zende getting involved with her so called best friend, later revealed as her Sister, and then being guilted into having yet another baby for her Sister, eventually finding Zende in bed with Sasha. I'd say the way she is now is a normal response to hurt and pain, and how the past events of her life have changed her, something she will hopefully heal from. The actress that portrays Nicole is 10X a better actress than the one portraying Sasha. I just think they need to write her past Zende, who is a horrible character, and give her some life again, life we have already seen in her when she first appeared on the show. Nicole and Wyatt had potential before, until it was discovered he was using her to get info about Maya, which he passed on to his Father.

YEP....Steffy has always been a pretty horrible and conniving person, not too far off from SOME of the behavior we have seen in Quinn, when it came to getting what she wanted. I have gone back and forth with "trying" to like her and give her a chance, but she definitely loses my respect with not seeing through her Grandfather, thinking he cares so much about morality. If lack of morality didn't hurt his company 20 years ago, with all he did, it damn sure will not hurt it in 2017.

The whole thing is ridiculous and insulting to the viewers who know the history, that the writers can't come up with something more creative to put Steffy back with Wyatt, a person she never should have been paired with to start with...nevermind the fact that if Quinn hated the idea of Ivy being torn between Liam and Wyatt, then why is it so acceptable for Steffy to be also, having claimed more love to Liam, and only being with Wyatt because of his Mother's manipulation, seeming to hate her more because of it. Why the hell does she want that for her son?

I've watched this show from Day 1, and intend to see it through, but I am hoping for the day to come soon that I will read where it's ending. Same thing with Y&R, which used to be so much better, but not so much so now. They have a different writing team now, so we'll see. The writing for B&B is horrible, boring, and the neverending love triangles have gotten old. I think all of the truly great soap writers are dead, and passion for giving us great soap stories died with them. I remember when I used to look forward to watching my recorded soaps everyday from my VCR, now DVR...NOW, I go for days before I decide to check them out, often fast forwarding through some characters and scenes.
