I started back watching this show around the latter part of last year. I now remember why I stopped watching it. First they repeat the same stories. Different people, same stories. It used to be Taylor/Ridge/Brooke. Now it's Steffi/Liam/Hope. The 2 men the women are fighting over aren't worth it. Another thing, this 30 minutes show drags out a storyline. Lately, almost every episode, I have to watch and listen to Liam whine. First about sleeping with Steffi, now it's about killing Vinnie. Move the story along. Geez. I also get tired of Brooke looking down her nose at people as though she is without sin. The people she dislike are guilty of the things she accused them of, but they are things she has done in the past. She despise Thomas for what he did to Hope about her baby, but didn't she hide the paternity of Thomas when he was a baby. She talks about family being important and she forgave Zoe, Thomas, Zander and everyone involved with the baby story except Flo who is her niece. Within the last month she finally decided to forgive Flo. I hate that Brooke hold grudges for so long and quickly forgets about the pain she has caused others. I also don't like how no one goes out of their way to remind Brooke of her transgressions when she is busy reminding everyone of theirs. This show needs better writers and the things the characters say and how they act should be a little more realistic. I guess I'll stop watching this show again.
