"Tell me the truth or set me free," said Taylor to EJ. More than once. Who writes this stuff? That is the worst line of dialog ever. And they didn't need to say it twice to make me realize how sophomorish it was.  And for Taylor -- the other woman, who is lusting after her sister's husband -- to be indignant that EJ is staying with his wife is just disgusting. I am not at all enjoying the character of Taylor or anything having to do with her story. |

I can't stand Taylor. I don't like anything about her. The whole thing is just ridiculous. She is supposed to be the goody goody sister and so far she has been nothing but a snake.

Taylor is terrible. She doesn't care what her sister wants or needs. I have no respect for any woman who knowingly goes after a married man. That goes double for going after your sister's husband. I know at times someone may have a crush on a married person but it should be left at that. I have found nothing to like about this character. Her college kid wardrobe doesn't help either!

I agree. It's an absolute mess. The dialog is terrible and, sadly, Tamara delivers it even worse.

I have seen zero improvement with Taylor 2.0. She still just sucks.

I think we now have proof that the character is just lousy regardless of who plays her. If an emmy winning actress can't do anything with the role there's not much hope.

I think Tamara shows glimpses of what could be a more compelling character than Natalia ever did, but this character is a dud and a half. She's unsympathetic, she's stupid... someone give her the Arianna treatment, please.

Agreed on all accounts. I hope TPTB pull the plug on this character soon. It's just not working. And I agree about the indignation. Jeez, Taylor, you're the other woman and yet you're somehow the victim?! It's not like EJ is some great prize.
I know Nicole is enjoying the cat and mouse game with Taylor and EJ but man, I can't wait for her to finally lay into her sister for going after her husband!!

QUOTE: Jeez, Taylor, you're the other woman and yet you're somehow the victim? But, she's such a good girl! Didn't you hear that part about working with orphans? Didn't you see the cues from everyone in Salem saying what a great honest to goodness girl she is?  yeah, I'm not buying her character, either. If anything, they make her pathetic. I think when/if she goes to the dark side, she might be a bit more interesting. |

I just can't figure out how we got from Taylor being leery of EJ and warning Nicole about remarrying him to her realizing EJ was her "scarf man" and she somehow *forgets* all of her warnings to Nicole. There was no reasonable transition there and no real hesitation on Taylor's part about the Dimera aspect of EJ (the only hesitation was concern for Nicole). If she was truly worried about Nicole being part of the Dimera family again, why isn't she worried about herself? And finding out that EJ is being blackmailed should set up major warning signals for her. But really? "Set me free"? I gagged when I saw that line on the previews and then I forgot about it the next day and didn't FF over it quick enough! They are NOT star-crossed lovers so quit writing them like they are!
I want to like Taylor, if only because I do like Tamara Braun. She has a better delivery of lines than Natalia. But when those lines are the same crap they were writing for Natalia, it doesn't make much difference. I want to hold out hope for Taylor's character to have more depth or for some sort of "different direction" like it was said would happen when Tamara took over. I'm hoping the line Nicole said to Brady about her sister being more like her than he realizes comes true.

I think the only hope for this character is to turn her into a bad girl! But the Arianna treatment would be fine with me! The sooner the better.
