I have watched it from the beginning when Alice walked down that staircase only to find Tom waiting for her at the bottom. Rewriting lineages and adding new characters that seem to come right from Oz in a hot air balloon kind of disappoint me. Some old story lines that are recycled every once in awhile are so predictable (ex. Eric and Nicole). Unrealistic Sarah in a trunk...well, it's different from having Carly buried alive. Kristin D. was adopted - no one seems to remember that fact along with many other family bloodlines. Brady Black did not go to high school with Chloe - he was already out of school when they met. It's a leap of faith to think that the writers will show some character creativity in their script writing. It's old duffs like me who will continue to watch, but we also see stale plot lines that make us roll our eyes.
