What do the characters/couples need to do, for them to be less boring? Posts have been made about Mac/Billy being boring (I kinda agree), about Cane/Lily being boring and now Chance/Chloe have been labeled boring by some. I know, its how they are written to act but how would we have them to act, so as NOT to be boring? Should they jump each others bones in every scene, like Nick and Phyllis do? A while ago, when the Baldwins and the Newmans were at the county fair, people said it was too corny. What are they supposed to do? What will make us happy? Of course, everyone will not be happy. That would never happen.

OK, its your turn.

Nick and Phyllis jumping bones is very boring.  The thrill is definitely gone.

For me it has a lot to do with actor chemistry and how I've grown to perceive the characters.  I loved the original Billy and Mac, don't care at all for the pairing with the current actors.  To me, Billy has a lot more spark with Chloe.  You can argue all you want about whether this person "deserves" to be with that person, but if the actors play off one another well the couple is just more interesting to me.

  • Excuse me, but how do you know what my speed is? I didn't say I wanted to see boring couples. I said what would we have them do to become less boring! ~ PPP
  • I love the scenes with Murphy and Katherine. He's the best thing that's happened in her life for years. What a sweet guy, and I don't find them boring together.................DM

    Anyone paired with Lily is going to be boring, because Lily is a juvenile character that hasn't matured one iota in all the years she's been on the show. Anyone paired with Mac is going to be boring because Clementine Ford brings nothing to the role.

  • You nailed it ! The Casting Director HAS to be Lily's Uncle and being the daughter of a celeb, CF got the job and now they don't know what to do with her !! BOTH *actresses*, and I use the term with tongue in cheek, are pitiful !! **
  • If he's Lily's uncle, he must be Amber's father.
  • But the difference is Adrienne Franz can actual act!
