[QUOTE="JROG, post: 421589, member: 43"] And that's fair enough! It never would've worked for the general audience without the usual cast - I'm just happy I love the new additions. And what a pleasant change from what was mostly being served by the primetime soaps for a few years at that point - actual storytelling! Soapy stories that don't require you to turn your brain off to accept! Speaking of Lance as someone to root for, that is something I noticed starting in Season 8. Suddenly, he started functioning like Cole or Dan used to: The dashing man we are supposed to root for. Not that he was without fault - like getting Cookie pregnant and telling her to just abort it - but all of a sudden he was a hero. It's a very bizarre direction for spoiled playboy Lance. I think you are correct about having nobody to like: I [I]love [/I]Genele and Sharpe, but they're not really likable people, are they? Perhaps Lauren could fit that bill. That being said, when I'm done with an episode, I can't wait to see what's next! They sure did time it for maximum effect! [/QUOTE]
