You've one or two here talking the opposite that 2014-15 has returned to it's best. Some of the younger character stuff like any storyline you pick/choose the storylines you like.
Although i've had a 4-5 year shift in storyline and not entirely sure how Nick etc left (probably in typical US style they kinda disappear at contracts end, instead of a proper exit). However Jackie/Nick as much as I liked them there storylines were getting thin in the late 2000s. I thought Owen was just fodder (Hunk = nothing if the storylines are terrible). Taylor (and that children's line) is really dull too now. Although if they bloody used Thorne properly then Taylor avenue could be used. Elsewhere - Maya i really dislike. Love Caroline!
If you had to say who was worse out of Stephanie and Eric, the former wins hands down by 9000 miles. I agree on Ridge. Still not warming to Thorsten.
