Why can’t writers tell a well rounded story (General)

When people say Logans have been on top for years and it’s the Tridgesters time I don’t know what that means. Are people deciding who wins and loses based on who wins Ridge? I have not seen Ridge treat Brooke well. This latest version of Ridge has been with Katie, Caroline, Quinn, and Shauna. Are people saying Logans have won because Liam and Hope are together? Having your baby kidnapped and sold and people lying and manipulating you about it is not winning. I don’t understand why any show would intentionally write stories to turn off whole fan bases for years. Why can’t all the characters trade winning and losing all the time. If there’s no back and forth what’s the point in watching.

I have no idea why Steffy, Thomas or Taylor deserve to win anything in the first place? Like getting away with murder and scheming isn't enough...

I don't feel that Brooke has won at all, not since Stephanie wanted to die in her arms. Then I felt like Brooke won, so to speak. She finally had the respect of the person she loved the most. I want Brill to happen, because Bill loves her, is not an ass to her like Ridge is, and he has not nasty children that will try and hurt her continually. I don't think Katie is going to care, since Bill is not even the last man she was married to, and she has turned him down.

Here are the things I want to see made right:

Taylor to face trial for shooting Bill.
Ridge to tell Brooke that Tom was in cahoots with Sheila about dosing her.
Taylor to finally say sorry to Hope and Liam for illegally buying their kidnapped child.
Ridge to apologize to Hope for getting Flo off the hook to save his sorry pathetic son.
Steffy to tell Thorne the truth about how Allie died.
Tom to apologize to Brooke for destroying her life over Berrygate.
Ridge to tell Steffy when she starts her crap about Brooke, that he left her mother because she cheated and then condemned Brooke for things she had done herself.

I would add Finn to find out Steffy shot Sheila, that she was married to Wyatt and that she slept with Bill while married to Liam and needed a paternity test.
Also, Thomas already apologised for Berrygate, he was genuinely regretful and said several times during that storyline that Brooke didn’t deserve it and that he cared for her and she had always been good to him etc. Which makes this latest story between them just more rewritten history.

I was not thinking about Finn, Thanks. I use to record the show back during Berrygate and I missed some. I did not know Tom ever apologized. Thanks. I am guessing Brooke accepted it so that makes this writing even more stupid.

Brooke was the only one who could reach Thomas when he was younger. That’s all been forgotten.

As long as they have Brooke and Hope wanting the same men that Taylor and Steffy do, the show will never have balance because someone will be let down.

At times they gave Brooke men that I thought had replaced Ridge (Thorne, Nick, Bill) but they always go back to her wanting Ridge. It’s been the same for Taylor.

It’s also the same for Hope and Steffy. Both had Wyatt but preferred Liam.

With Steffy they have given her Finn and it seems he could be “the one” but likely he’ll end up her Nick, a second choice to Liam.

And I wouldn’t mind Hope getting a “Nick” or Finn, but not Thomas. Carter or Zende would do nicely.

Still, in the end she’d go back to wanting Liam. At least if the show stays true to form.

How could Finn ever be "the one" if the only story they give him is worshipping the ground Steffy walks on and carrying her purse?

Yes, it makes for a very stilted show. I hope they can stop writing Finn such a nudge and start writing him more like they did when Sheila was holding him hostage. He had some fire then, with Steffy he always looks a little afraid of her. LOL

To me, this custody story is really so unnecessary...Douglas looks to be around 12 (my granddaughter is 12 and looks younger) so soon he will be old enough to decide himself where he wants to live and how often to visit the other parent (and already he is certainly old enought to peel his own apples, and with a knife)...they could easily ask him now and let him decide and the story would be over..
They make Brooke look like she´s totally exaggerating by fearing for Douglas safety because Tom was peeling apples "with a knife!" - I mean, this lets her look ridiculous...they could have made Tom do something really dangerous, like leaving Douglas alone over night or letting pills lie around...but really, a knife? Douglas is not 2...
This is really not the kind of story I want to see, it´s not even well written.

Exactly Gracie! It's like the writers want a war between fan bases. Silly.
