Since I feel the need to post, I have been trying to come up with some ideas of what to talk about. With that in mind, I have decided to write about those Storylines that were great and those that were just horrible.
One of the most unpopular storylines, and rightly so, is the whole Krystle/Rita fiasco. Not only was the idea crazy, the storyline dragged on way longer than it should have. In fact, it was the length of the storyline that made it crazier. Had Sammy Jo just come up with the idea (it sounds like a scheme Sammy Jo would concoct, similar to making Claudia believe that Matthew was still alive) and it collapsed quickly - fine - no harm, no foul.
Why did Rita go to where Krystle was being held captive?
No, we actually have Rita taking the place of Krystle and no one seems to notice the change other than L.B. Blake has been married (twice) to this woman for more than 5 years and could not tell that Rita was not his wife. I mean, how much information did Sammy Jo actually know about Krystle or the mansion? Rita miraculously can run the mansion and remember everyone’s name (despite having Sammy Jo all of a sudden tied to her hip).
Then there is the intimacy part. Yes, Rita went out of her way to prevent having sex with Blake (including poisoning him), but how long should it take for Blake to realize, “Wait, this woman does not feel or act like my wife?” And then Rita decides to fool around with Joel in the mansion. Hello?
Meanwhile, Krystle is being held hostage in Delta Rho and constantly watched by Joel. And, the only reason Krystle was help captive at Delta Rho is that is where Krystle discovered Rita and decided to call Blake (for some reason). I wonder how they dragged Krystle into the attic since Joel is probably not that strong and dead weight Krystle (especially with the shoulder pads) has to be a lot. Okay, maybe that can happen and it is a good thing that Krystle had access to a bathroom. But then Joel takes her to some western bar where they happen to run into Alexis and Dex and Krystle says nothing because Joel threatened Krystina. Oh come on.
The stunt doubles had a tough job here.
Sammy Jo should have just tried her scheme and have it fail quickly. At least there was one good moment, the fight between Krystle and Rita - a fight where neither woman takes off her heels. Still, not worth the weeks of this stupid storyline.
