While watching today it dawned on me its not who do I like but who do I dislike less than the other.
For example when Adam Nick and Micheal were in the office I found myself pretty much hating Nick and Micheals smug sour face even though Adam is the bad guy.
Even Mrs C was snotty with Neil grinning ear to ear. Ashley was acting weird. Phyllis nasty behavior with her sons girlfriend. Amber may have been the only one likeable today and that's hard to admit.

Message: ITA about Adam and Nick. As much as I loathe Adam at times I find myself taking his side whenever it's him vs. one of the Newman twits. Ditto for Phyllis in scenes with Patty or Deacon. With those folks it's the Redhead all the way.

Message: Definitely true with the Newmans. Not a one of them is likable right now, which seems deliberate on the writers' part to get us to sympathize with Adam again. It's working on me.
Ashley was despicable to Abby's teacher the other day. Unfortunately that's pretty common when teachers have to report kids' misbehavior. Overall although Ashley has her snobby side, I'd still enjoy seeing her take over Jabot.
Who's actually likable? For all their flaws, I still basically find likable Nina, Sharon, Neil, Katherine, Paul. All people have flaws, that's natural (especially on soap operas!), but these characters are basically nice enough folks.

Message: I think Ashley wants to take over CI...and she is probably deluded enough
to pull it off.

Message: I hear you S'mom. I've often found myself thinking that they've turned most of the G.C. folks into a thoroughy unlikeable bunch. I sure wouldn't want to live there. LOL. I loved CE in the role of Adam, and found it hard to accept MM at first. But it's a mark of a good actor that he's got us feeling some empathy for him in this situation with Nick and Michael, despite all his evil doings.

Message: I hear you on the office bunch. Adam is obviously out to stab Nick in the back, but Nick is talking down to the guy like from on high. He's loving lording his position over Adam without even knowing a fraction of the evil Adam has pulled. When he finds out (if ever) what Adam did with his newborn daughter, we can stuff whatever is left of Adam in a pill capsule. He will have deserved it, but I can't stand Nick's self-bestowed halo of thorns.
