LOL, oldsoapie.......when they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are lots of other nouns we could put in the place of "beauty". That is what makes us all individuals and the board a fun place to hang out.
It is no secret that I dislike EJ, and while he was interesting when he first came on the Salem scene....he has become totally boring. To me.
Roman is another boring character along with Jordan, who, to me, is snooze city, at least so far. If the show thinks I appreciate that inane, nothing conversation on 6/30 between her and her brother, they got another think coming.
Maggie has become boring. Being the town sanctimonious busybody has diminished her luster considerably, just as Kate's constant interference has diminished hers.
John was always the good guy, the one riding to the rescue of any character, and that was all taken away from him.
But I think this is the role present writers are attempting to fill with Rafe. He has been on hold for a long time, while they cozied up Sami & EJ.....but perhaps they may just finally hatch this incubating egg.
