As a female I know we can have our issues from time to time, we are certainly not by any stretch a perfect gender. However, there are certain decisions, ethical choices and thought processes that leave me in a state of confusion and anger. Women are the cornerstone of and will ALWAYS be the ♡ of SOAPS, in the 21st century why are we not more empowered!!!! on these shows. Now, on to my list:
Deanna One Life To Live:This character was initially brought on to throw a monkey wrench into the newly developed relationship of Starr & James. I don't have a problem with her being brought on for that reason that in of itself, it's a typical soap staple that soaps have been using since Jesus was a fetus. In theory she should have been on screen 3 or 4 months tops and then off the canvas. However, her nightmarishly bad acting combined with the character's piss poor ethics (case in point: Her advice to Nate after they find out Matthew's in the hospital with a severe brain injury that he caused after punching him out & him falling on table corner, "Oh it's probably not that bad, he's still alive, no one knows it was you, hey he was still breathing when you left) have made it all the more unbearable! And just when you hoped it wouldn't get any worse, they get blackmailed by a sleezy porn director who gets his hands on Deanna's Bio Mom's whereabouts & says: "Star in one of my skin flicks and I'll give you the info" Why oh why didn't she just go to the cops and let them know what was going on. All she had to do was say, this guy is blackmailing me, arrest him so the information can be released to the state where I'm from, so I can legally gain access to it. But NO she instead has sex with a guy she barely knows in a film that will live forever in celluloid! Side note: If I see her make that sad puppy dog face again whenever she hears something upsetting, I'm gonna reach my hands through my flat screen and choke her imaginary ASS!!!!
Chloe: Days of Our Lives: Another situation where someone is being blackmailed do to something that she should not! Seriously go to Ebay and buy a clue, just tell the authorities this scumbag is telling me if I don't FUCK random dudes on his order that he'll upload a video of us having sex on the web. Homie your voicebox works, your legs aren't broken, plus your good friends with your child's cousin who is a lawyer, what's the problem! I'm ALL for people who are brave and want to handle their own business, but this is a time when you need to reach out to other folks, and she has plenty who can help her.
Carly: Days of our Lives: There are not too many of us who have not experienced what it's like to like someone who doesn't like us back. Most def it SUCKS!!!! and depending on the situation it can ALSO be completely UNFAIR. God Bless people who are going through drug addiction, everyone has their reason or reasons, no judgement here. But for a character who has always has such a HUGE amount of self esteem and a backbone to deal with the loss of a possible relationship by snorting perscription drugs through a straw like a cokehead, all I can say is that it is SIMPLY NOT HER and very insulting to her character! Nuff said!!!!
Sam: General Hospital: The LOVE of your life asks you to marry him and instead of you saying YES right away, you over analyze it and say STUPID SHIT like I don't care about a ring or a ceremony BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! Dude it's OK to be a girl sometimes, really it is! I know it's not what she's used to but when your man goes out of his way to create a romantic roof top dinner when you know it's not usually his style is flattering, and the last time I checked a good thing, so just GO WITH IT and say YES!!!! Also, and this REALLY gets my panties in a bunch, accepting someone for who they are emotionally, is one thing, but to marry someone who is in the MOB!!!! knowing that at any time you and or your possible child to be could be GUNNED DOWN and not at least discussing his leaving is SELFISH and inconsiderate to you as well as any progeny you may have! Wanting him to leave does not mean you don't respect him, it ONLY means your trying to give yourself a chance to have the best possible life you can!!!!
