DD, I get the curiosity but it is my opinion that it's best just to accept that people see characters differently than to delve into why. If two people see a character differently then they aren't likely to agree on the reasons for viewing them that way either. It's not about double standards, it's just all part of the same differing view on the character. Fair enough. I really wasn't trying to stir the hornet's nest, I was just curious about how other people view the character. I may not agree with peoples' reasons for hating anyone, but I won't say they are wrong for hating/loving them. As I said in another thread, ain't diversity grand?!? Hugs all around!!! |

I agree, diversity is great DD and I love your outlook on things. I know you weren't trying to stir anything and I hope my response didn't make you feel that way. Mostly I just meant that I've seen similar questions about numerous characters and it's one of those things that there never seems to be a satisfactory answer to. My father hates Spinach but loves Swiss Chard; I don't understand the difference, I just accept it (... and yes, I think I just compared Stefano/EJ to Spinach/Swiss Chard ... I like Spinach a bit more but I'm hardly crazy about either.  You know, it's not like any of these characters are easy to like. I was once a huge Sami fan and even now when I'm intensely frustrated with her more often than not, it's still my instinct to want to defend her. I think it's all just a part of what makes the show itself special to us - the characters. We relate to some of them more than others and for different reasons. It's like you noted before, the show gives us a variety of characters that are bound to appeal (or not) to some part of the audience. The point is that whether any of us agree on a character or not is a small matter. I appreciate you and love reading your posts and points of views on all the characters/stories. |

Thanks Kazz! And I love your Spinach/Stefano/Swiss Chard/EJ metaphor. When I go shoppping for dinner tonite, I think I'm going to have to make some "Stefano" in your honor.  |

LOL, I can see the recipe for Spinach ala Stefano now... I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding the Eye of Newt for it but I hear that's what really makes the dish. ;D

Yeah, I liked EJ/Nicole the first time around, and hate what they're doing with the character of Nicole. I guess that's another thread.
I hope that the new Taylor will sizzle with EJ, too. At least make it believable why he'd pine for someone other than Nicole.
