[QUOTE="Presea, post: 68503, member: 24"] Well, I wouldn't say that it had all of "our" favorite characters. That is, if I am a part of the our that you mentioned. But it looks like likes I'm the only one who is bored with the overused plot of a one-dimensional Katherine kidnapping Pam from the hospital and keeping her locked away for years. It is not suspenseful or exciting, because the reader already basically knows that Katherine will be stopped (most likely by means of lethal force), Pam will be saved and live happily ever after with Bobby and have kids, you know the drill. It is so predictable that it is boring. But it seems I'm in the minority when it comes to that opinion, because I have yet to see a reader besides myself who doesn't eat up these "evil Katherine" plots over and over again. I like Karin's version of Katherine better, because while she is still up to bad stuff (and it's a plus that she doesn't seem to want to go too far right now), her bitterness and frustration about things are actually explained in specific scenarios (like her thoughts about meeting Pam for the first time), and it ultimately shows that she is someone who wishes for things like a home and a family. In other words, she is real character, not a caricature of one who has no usually has no serious thoughts, overly bitchy dialogue, and usually just runs around leaving people in pools of blood, usually hates her own children if she has them, and/or who still believes that she can "get Bobby". So yeah, I will admit you got me when you suggested that I like Karin's Katherine better because she is my idealized version of her. Lol. Well, maybe not exactly idealized, but pretty darn close.
