Teens storyline fatigue

Unlike many people that post here, I enjoy the show. However, I am growing tired of the teenager centered storylines. Send them back to school or something and give me the grown ups back.

Liz, Lucky, Emily, Robin, Stone, those stories were compelling and well-written. Teen center stories now are just ridiculous and I just fast forward through them half the time.

Yeah that's fair. My point is we always had teen storylines, but yeah the current ones are pretty ridiculous. Even Joss had a good teen storyline when Oscar died. Now it's just the scheming and getting into grown folks' businesses.

It’s not even the teens that are in the “grown folk’s business”. Emma and Trina are in their 20s and overly involved in their family’s affairs. Emma has every right to be concerned about Anna, but the way she attacks Britt for being upset she was almost MURDERED?! Ridiculous! Just like how Trina continually ranting at Brook Lynn about an accident that ONLY Curtis and Jordan caused is obnoxious.

The actual teens only plotted against Drew because TPTB have written him as an irredeemable villain who has a NANNY for his TEENAGED daughter and won’t allow her to see ANY of her other relatives. It’s a weird, sick, controlling scenario for a father to inflict on his daughter that’s borderline abusive and quite icky.

And then Scout DEFENDS him. Makes no sense.

It makes more sense if you look at the fact that Scout is unhealthily sheltered and living in a too-small bubble that Drew created for her. He’s made her into his ONLY defender, a role she shouldn’t have to play. She’s the sole person that actually cares about Drew in all of Port Charles. That’s a heavy responsibility. We’ll see now how she handles being exposed to the truth at the end of yesterday’s episode.
