[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 436500, member: 27"] I think the reason they initiated this snowstorm plot for a week wasn't as an homage to "disaster" plots of the past, but to re-set and redirect some of the plotlines that have gotten bogged down and gone into neutral. By forcing certain character pairings together to interact without the usual outside noise, we got plot movement in several B-plots and C-plots. 1. Tracy and Martin came to something of an understanding. They still don't get along, but after they shared some truths about one another I think (hope) the cycle of revenge plot/threat/insult/revenge plot has been disrupted. Some have called for them to fall in love, but I'd be satisfied just to have them snarking at one another. 2. Trina and Portia had a good argument. It became too much to bear, watching Trina acting as self-righteous and judgmental as Curtis about Portia's affair. It was also too much to bear watching Portia treat Trina like she's 12, not 21. Trina finally got to remind the audience that she's ridden this ride before---that Portia conceived Trina while having an extramarital affair and lied to Trina about her father for years. The two will still have a prickly relationship due to Portia's poor choices, but at least it was established that Portia doesn't have to walk on eggshells around Trina any more. 3. Lulu and Nathan are now "carrying a secret" and setting up Maxie's return in two weeks, though a simple kiss is hardly Portia-level secret-keeping. My guess is the Lulu/Nathan kiss will be quickly forgotten once Maxie asks "Who is that man and why is he pretending to be my husband?" 4. They've successfully inserted Josslyn into the "Save-Anna" plot. even if that was one awful cover story she gave Cullum as to why she is at Wyndemere. 5. Britt is finally sharing secrets with Jason, which tells me they will be the A-plot for the next month or so. 6. Just as Molly/Cody seemed to be full steam ahead, they had to create another stumbling block for them. Why? I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
