After watching glimpses of yesterday's Canadian show, I am wondering if I can totally fast forward though any storylines involving any members of a certain family. I am talking about the Winters. I have no idea why they brought in Devon in the first place and now we have to go through more of this new found family crap! I could put up with Neil as a Newman employee and his relationship with Karen, and to a lesser extent Lily and Cane, but now that this singing wonder is being forced our way, I absolutely have lost interest in any thing going on with this family.
So if I FF through any and all Winter material, I wonder where I can draw the line. For instance any time Lily or Neil are talking with other cast members who I do care for, I don't want to miss details that progress other storylines but I don't want to accidently hear about Devon's cousin and aunt. I suppose one day I'll be fast forwarding scenes of Karen being upset and then scenes of Neil and the aunt getting married.
So is it possible to totally tune out one family? I don't want to but this precocious child is too much to take.

Message: I've been fast-forwarding Gloria for months, trying to pretend she's not on the show at all. It worked well, since she didn't intersect with any other storylines, until she got the receptionist job at Jabot. Then I had to start watching her scenes there in order not to miss anything regarding Nikki and David. But once we didn't see her intersect with that story, I went right back to pretending she doesn't exist and so far, it's working just fine. Tuesday I just FF'ed the second we cut to Gloria and the rest of the Fisher/Baldwins having some sort of powwow in the Abbott house. If I really need to find out whatever they were talking about, I can, but right now I just find her so irritating to watch that I'm just ignoring it 100 percent.

Message: I couldn't agree more. I wanted to cry when Tyra and the songbird came in the door. Neither can act and I can't stand the singing. We can see a romance between Tyra and Neil coming a mile away. If I were Karen I would run back to New York immediately. Neil may be a family man but he makes all the decisions himself. Karen should get away ASAP.
