If this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it.
Am I the only one who is losing interest in the characters and storylines of those who are leaving because we know the end is near?
For instance, why get invested in a Dario and Melanie pairing when we know he's leaving soon? Personally it doesn't interest me anyway but that's beside the point.
It's hard to get into Viv's schemes for the same reason.
I still love Chloe but I hate her story and don't even want to watch it.
Carly's story has been up and down but at least it's been fairly compelling lately.
I do enjoy speculating about ways that Taylor could be killed off.

The only thing I've enjoyed is Carly's drug addiction storyline,and only from Carly's perspective,otherwise it's only served to make Jenn look more and more stupid.
As for the rest,it is hard to get into.I like Francisco as a person,however as you said,it's hard to get into anything he does because we know he's leaving.
Viv's departure isn't bittersweet for me at all,just because I feel she's a shell of the villain she used to be.

The sad thing is...I'm liking Dario more now than I did in the beginning. I still don't like a Dario/Melanie pairing, but the way he got Melanie to calm down when she was screeching at Abby made me like him.
I'm not really invested in Chloe anymore. I care about how her story ends, but anything leading up to her exit I could care less. A lot of that comes from the whole prostitution thing and my disgust for it and not any ill feelings or indifference for Chloe.
With Carly, I keep forgetting she's leaving. The last few days have been rather riveting and meaty and moving. I do enjoy watching Carly, but I do agree with jaysdelina that the Jennifer aspect is distracting and just plain dumbing her down for no reason.
Taylor is just going in circles at this point so it's not enjoyable regardless of whether she was staying or going. I do hope however she leaves that there is a finality to it. I want to envision her death in various ways, but I hate the thought of Nicole losing yet another family member that way.

I agree that Dario is more likeable now. I guess he's getting experience for his next job.

Hopefully his next job will treat him better than this one did.

I don't like watching Melanie right now, so I'm not paying attention to the Dario story line. But, to be fair, I wouldn't be paying attention even if he were staying. He hasn't "grown" on me.
Chloe...I'm sorry to say, but I'm looking forward to her character leaving. I hate watching her prostitute herself. It's disgusting what they've done with a character we've invested time in.
Re: Vivian, dang, she's gotten so interesting now. LOL Carly, too...
Taylor *is* going around in circles and still annoying.

I actually want Chloe gone ASAP, because the sooner she's off the show, the sooner this whole gross hooker storyline is over. And if/when she ever comes back, she can sort of have a clean slate with more decent writing. Taylor, however... I'm actually having fun imagining all the ways they could kill her off. It's almost making me enjoy her! |

I am only half watching at this point. And I am only watching for Melanie, Quinn, the Kiriakis Dimera feud, Nicole and Carly.
Dario has always seemed like filler for me. I never expected him to last past summer. And my expectations have been met.
Taylor...whatever
Chloe is very expendable to me. I only really pay attention to her when I am liking her storylines. And really I haven;t liked any of her stories since Phloe...and maybe a little when she came back scarred during Bricole.
Vivian...I wanted her to be recurring just for Quinn's sake. But I am hoping it is revealed his father is someone in town (hoping against hope he is a K)...so she won't be needed any way.
Carly I think Crystal Chappelle is talented. I like the character and I wish she were staying. But they cheated her out of a complete story with Bo and her bonding with Melanie really has not been a focus. (the show was more concerned with the Daniel/Melanie bond) So maybe it is better she leave a show that doesn't value her character.
Jennifer...oh wait she is not leaving...drats!

The only thing I like is thinking about how Taylor will die.

Dario is growing on people? I never thought I would see the day! I must be the exception. Dario is not growing on me, but I do think he is growing into his role a little bit. Quinn/Dario/TaylorFor an exit, how about Quinn hires Dario to be his messenger boy. Dario gets caught sampling the goods. Quinn finds a nice comfortable pair of cement shoes for Dario to wear. Then Quinn finds Taylor who used to be one of his girls but she ran out on him without giving him his cut of her take. So she gets a nice pair of cement shoes to wear too. Then Quinn goes back to Australia. |

I am hoping they make Quinn different when September hits. I don't like the character but I do love to look at those puppy dog eyes. Mmmm...I do like the rest of the scenario tho jkjpatch! Sounds like a perfect plan! LOL
