SO I guess they think if they destroy the character of Schuyler that we won't care about losing him. Eh, it seems he is going to GH so it matters not to me.
And Kae I agree with you. Just reading the paragraph about the kids story made my head hurt. Only to learn that once again we have to go through the Rex has no family thing.
Todd and Tea interested me, but now, eh. Are they pushing some sort of sexual tension between Todd and Kelly? Seems like it on some of the episodes I caught recently.

I know that I've said this before, but I think the biggest mistake was bringing Mitch back into the picture. Not only is that a redo of an old, old story, but I find it terribly uninteresting. It really is as if the soap hasn't evolved one little bit.
Bran, Todd and Kelly together is a given, non? What else could be done with those two working together?
Shelly, teenage angst is boring and painful, I agree.
Instead of paying actors a king's ransom, why not develop some good writers for these damn TV stories everywhere? Look what happened to Ugly Betty, cancelled mid-stream because nobody cared about a rising star in the publishing business who couldn't manage to stop looking like the dog's breakfast. Never mind braces that stayed on for, what, five years? So many stories to tell there, so many bad decisions in the direction of the show. And the same applies to OLTL. *sigh*
