Additional Comments: I have had it up to the top with these screen hogs. They have no chemistry. The two actors have gotten worse. They take up the entire show and I'm sick of it. I would rather see Luke, Noah, Henry, Lucinda, Casey, Emily, Tom, and Margo. These characters are eternally on the backburner and I'm sick of it.

FUN FACT(I learned on another board): Liberty and Parker got more airtime in one show than Luke, Noah, Lucinda, and Henry got in an entire month. In last weeks shows, they took up to 35 minutes. Luke and Noah were on 30 minutes total in July/August. Lucinda and Henry even less. Usually a regular episode is like 48 minutes.

I would much rather see them on my screen than watch Luke look at Noah with those wide eyes and being bored out of my freaking tree. At least with Liberty and Parker, Katie is usually around, and it's always fun getting mad at her. Plus I LOVE Jack and Janet.

Replies: (list all replies)

Katie is less interesting with Parker and Liberty around. She has become nothing but wallpaper. How can you hate on wallpaper?

First of all, Katie was never interesting to me. Second, she's not exactly wallpaper, since she's always there, and always talking..we could only be so lucky if she was just wallpaper for a while!

Back in the day, summertime is where some of the greatest soap couples were made, Luke and Laura, Bo and Hope, Holden and Lily, etc., but nowadays, these summer teen/young adult sl for lack of a better word, suck. The only exception that I can think of is last summer's nuke, and TPTB have just squandered that so badly that I fear they will never catch that fire back.

Granted they film so far in advance, they can't yank the Pukerty til Labor Day, but if Pukerty persists even when certain fan favorites return, then I will be more than through with this show. Yeah, I will keep watching but fast wording and channel surfing will be the order of the hour.

Completely agree. Boarding school, anyone, for the two of them? Many of the summer-only 'tween viewers are going back to school now, so let's give more time to the grownups.

Parker and Liberty do absolutely nothing for me, I an so bored by them. On the other hand, I enjoy Libby's interaction with others, but to clarify..not every single day! I love the unique mother and daughter relationship between Liberty and Janet. Sometimes is strictly mother/daughter and sometimes is more like friends. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as there are boundaries.

I could not agree more. I am sick of seeing these characters that could have interesting stories Carly, Jack, Brad, Katie, and (I guess) Janet revolving around two teens and their sex life. Parker and Lib need to get back to school an off of the frontburner. Seeing them once or twice a week would be tolerable.

I am sick of them, too!!! Having raised 3 children myself, I have no desire to see anymore of the trials and tribulations of raising children today! I had my fill of it when I was going through it, and I have pretty good kids comparatively speaking!!!! Let's get on with it and get into some storylines that are entertaining!!!!!
