I haven’t watched in three weeks. I’ve been traveling and reading the summaries. Silly teen drama, recast whiplash, and story repeats…None of this inspires me to watch. I think my ties to the show are finally dissolving. I don’t even have the energy to hate-watch every day until a story catches my interest.
Wake me up when Xander is outed as Victor’s son. If they hadn’t done this silly misdirection, I’d be very interested in the emotional beats he could be playing now, right after Victor’s demise, as he’s trying to be a father himself. I have zero interest in Alex/Ben and Theresa/Gwen, Konstanin’s horrible cartoonish accent, or fickle Stephanie. I will also tune back in to see Sloan outed as a liar. Seeing Nicole think she’s lost another baby will just be emotional torture porn. I seriously just want to skip watching that.
I’ll probably watch Gabi’s last couple of episodes, but I can’t stomach weeks of dumb DiMera share drama. I still remember her stellar acting when she left for prison after killing Nick. They’ve turned her into a screeching lunatic chasing this corporate stuff that doesn’t make sense. She and Stefan aren’t even interesting anymore. I also remember when she said a while ago that all she wanted was her fashion company back, and the rest was too much trouble. It was the sanest thing she’s said in years. What a waste.
