Although, and I've said this before, some young women out here actually put their "assets" ahead of their well-being. I live in Quebec, Canada. Believe me, during the winter, it can get very, very cold. In January and February, we often have temperatures reaching -25 degrees Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit). Unfortunately, I have seen women walking around in short skirts, shoes and... no stockings !
Sometimes, it feels like women are making progress, other times... not so much!
I mean, what does it matter if a teenager is freezing. It's much more important to look cool.
(but pun intended).
OFF TOPIC - The first time I was in Quebec was in 1998, 1 week after the ice storm and will always remember this drop dead gorgeous woman standing outside in a very short dress in high heels having a smoke and I remember thinking how cold she must be because I was bundled up pretty good. Just as a side, the women in Quebec are beautiful.
BACK TO TOPIC - One of my biggest pet peeves and I'm sorry if it has been mentioned as I have not read the entire thread are when steps who have grown up together or been raised by a step parent do not acknowledge them as family. I'm not going to go on about this this cause I can rant about this forever, but Marlena and Brady's relationship......it IS mother/son!!!
Another is Will not calling John Grandpa. John has been around longer than Will and a part of different families but this has been constant. Will grew up calling Marlena Grandma and as John was her husband while Will was growing up John is his grandfather just as Roman is. It can be argued that maybe Sami insisted that Will call him John but this has never been established. My grandmother was my step grandmother but in reality she was my real grandmother. She raised my mom and her brother from the time she was 12, had a better relationship with her than her biological children, not that those relationships were bad, and when she needed care and could no longer be independent, we moved her from Vancouver Island to where I lived and never did I ever think of her as anything but grandma.
Carrie has more of a father/daughter relationship with John than she does with Roman and I like seeing these interactions. Sami and Eric were also raised by John but for Sami just because of the boardroom Romper Room (An old Canadian Kid's TV Show) session she witnessed, her relationship with John is nothing. Oh it has been shown where Sami has thanked John and forgiven him but in the end it always goes back to her disliking him And while on the topic of Carrie, her and Marlena have always been written to have had a mother/daughter relationship, which is nice to see this continue.
Sorry but many Salemites who are steps could take a lesson on how to accept and raise children as their own and accept their step siblings as blood from the DiMeras.
I hate that there are only a few girls in each age range and a few guys in the same age range. More often than not they are related in some way or another. The main characters are not even seen with extras playing their friends. Last time this was shown was probably when T. was on and friends with Will and Chad. The same for when Chelsea and Stephanie were in the college dorm.
Like I always say.......Salem can trace it's roots right back the very first brother and sister.
And I won't even go on about Brady and Eric. So stupid how Brady treats him.
I think that's it for now. But like others I like the mention of past characters and storylines even if they are not coming back to the show. It acknowledges the history and lets viewers know these characters are not forgotten.
Or maybe they don't understand sarcasm.
