[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 223501, member: 68"] I don't know which writer came up with it. It wasn't the best idea but it could have worked if cleverly done. However what they did was just insultingly stupid and lazy. People often say that the Pollocks took their ideas from Daytime and made them bigger and better. Well I don't know. On Daytime you can do something like an evil twin plot because you have weeks to set up a plot, get the viewer on your side and then really launch into it. Seeing a new episode every day, you can move slowly, other plots bubbling all at the same time. In Primetime you do not have that luxury so not everything that is a good idea in Daytime soaps works for primetime. Saying that if they were going to do a Krystle swop they would have needed to make it a much shorter plot with a basis of it actually achieving something. The plot has to ultimately accomplish something. Not just be a Krystle swop for that reason. What they should have done was have Blake drugged a little prior to the switch. Then he would be more susceptible to it and it would be easier to believe that he thought Rita was his wife. If Blake is somehow incapacitated, and not at work for a while it would have been more believable. Then Rita would assume Krystle's place and she would look after Blake at home with the help of Dr Abrigore. Limiting guests to the house to see him. Blake would mostly just be sedated, Rita wouldn't even sleep in the same bed as him. They could have had Rita and Joel swindle small amounts of cash out of Blake and make off with it as well as paintings and Jewellery from the mansion. Have Blake sign cheques etc. Have them get away with a fair amount of money but still keep it small time. Krystle still locked at Delta Roe and Sammy Jo being an accomplice. Maybe one who doesn't even get found out, after she puts a stop to the mad plan when she fears that Rita and Joel are going too far and that either Blake or Krystle or even Krystina were in real danger.
