The lame opening shots...

with rapid flashes of characters either kissing or chasing each other through the halls of Forrester or whatever seems desperately amateurish. If Bill Bell is trying to re-energize the show, he should really focus on creating better stories or making use of more interesting characters. I am bored to death with Liam and Steffy as well as the Bill/Brooke/Ridge triangle, which never seems to resolve itself. Personally, I'd like to see more focus on the Avant family (Vivienne and Julius are horribly under-used) and the writers missed a great opportunity with the whole Quinn/Eric/Katie story. In stead of having Quinn get jealous of Katie and Eric, it would have made much more sense if Eric had invited Donna to watch the fashion show with him since Donna is Eric's ex wife and still carries a torch for him. Given Quinn's history with Donna (fans may recall it was Donna who first realized that Quinn had a few screws loose), this could have made a really great storyline.
