I have watched this show from day 1 and have always enjoyed it, but i do not like the story line with Tessa and Mariah at all. Most people do not need two women together pushed down their throats. I fast forward it because i do not want to see this. But it seems we are supposed to just except it and be glad. I don't think so. Most people that watch soaps are older people and don't want to see this. I know you don't want to hear this opinion but there it is anyway. And why are you getting rid of the older characters? This does not make the show better.
