[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 192073, member: 3926"] Sentimentality itself is not dishonest. Imho, it becomes dishonest when it's anything other than the characters just "being." That's not the best explanation, I'll admit. For example, if it's sweeps month or the scene and actor seem to be focused on "for your emmy consideration." Or if I get the vine from the show the focus is not on the characters or plot as much as it's on TPTB saying l, "look at our earnest, inportant show." Lindsay, not the entire sesson, if I recall correctly, seemed dishonest and that she was more of a plot device than a character. She seemed to be there just to convey, "family drama" and to emphasize Claudia and Matthew as a middle class couple with "real" problems. To be fair to the writers, children and teenagers must be very hard to write, especially in a show like Dynasty. So they honestly dishonest for totally honest reasons. That last line doesn't mean I've lost my mind. Honest.:eck::lolo: [/QUOTE]
