Topic: Out with Jared, in with Eli and Ross

Additional Comments: My guess is that these two guys now take the place of Jared. Eli would be good with Natalie. Seems like they're moving John away from Marty, as Patrick will return in the new year. But I could not believe the reunion of Bo and Nora. Frankly, with Jared gone, Charlie is goners too. They'll move back to Clint and Viki I hope in 2010 especially if the show is going to be cancelled.

I still say if TK comes back, he should play Ian Thornhart, Patrick's vampire twin brother. I miss Port Charles. I miss Kelly Monaco. I miss staying on the subject. I miss not being able to think of a different way to begin a sentence.

  • LOL, I miss PC too. I loved ME as a vamp. We need a good vampire soap now. With all the vampire shows on TV, a new and improved PC or another (better written) vampire soap would do well. They could redo Dark Shadows. izi

    Eli is too old for Natalie. So is John, but that's where this is heading. Charlie was here before Jared, so why should Jared's departure signal Charlie's? He and Viki are a good couple. If Jared leaves Llanview in a tragic way, this will give Charlie something to play. Clint and Viki reuniting sounds boring to me. Bo and Nora reuniting now is a mistake -- they waited too long and the magic is gone. All those years of Bo looking at Nora with contempt and panting after every blonde loser in town can't be erased overnight. The chemistry between them no longer exists. Right now, they're completely unlikeable on so many levels -- lying to Matthew, lying to Clint. They make me sick.

  • ITA that Clint/Viki sounds boring, partly because they truly have gotten past each other and moved on with their lives. There's no foundation for it anymore, and I would hate to see them thrown into that kind of situation, just like Bo/Nora were. I think Bo/Nora's reunion is based on their past, but I see no basis now why Bo has fallen for Nora again. All of their obstacles are external (Matthew's paralysis and anger, Nora marrying Clint), and I feel like their interpersonal issues, which have kept them apart for so long, are being glossed over. In a week's worth of shows, Bo/Nora declare their love, discuss the past, clear the air, and Nora makes her decision. After 8 months of dragging their feet? They're not the same characters they were back when. They just can't pick up where they left off. I think they're trying too hard to recapture the magic, expecting viewers to just be happy they're back together. But, they waited too long and Bo treated her like crap for too long. IMO part of it for Bo is that he's just jealous that Clint is interested in her, but before Matthew's accident, Nora wasn't turning Bo's head. I'm also very disgusted how selfishly and hypocritically they've been acting (thank you for including Clint, because Bo/Nora have betrayed his trust just as much as they've betrayed Matthew's), and yet we're supposed to be excited them? They claim to love Clint and don't want to hurt him, but they continue to string him along while feeling sorry for themselves. And just what are Bo/Nora going to do after they reunite? What's going to keep them together? eom
