With Chelsea, they gave her this highly emotional job.......taking care of children who have some sort of learning disability. If she was sitting in some corporate office, doubt there would be the same sort of attitude towards her. But really, mostly, Chelsea has sort of been on the fringe of various stories. Sort of backburnered of late. She really has had no story, just a lot of chatter with friends. Or gramma.
Back in the day, Sami was always scheming, but she had tons of family around her. Nicole also had her schemes, but she was more ingrained into DAys families, and did have Brandon, her mom, Fay, and even a sister for a few months. Plus that rotten father of hers. But neither Nicole or Sami ever mooched room and board, like Mel has. And with really no family, Days has had to "force" relationships.......i.e. Maggie letting her live with her & Mickey, Caroline being Max's mom.
Mel pushes her way in everywhere, and then does her pity me routine.....Too bad others fall for it.
