DOOL should change its name to Teenage DOOL. I'm not a teen-ager and don't want to see teen's lives; I think it's boring. Comments?

I think a lot of fans haven't warm up to the New "teen" group because they aren't on that much and the writers don't seem to know what to do with them.

I'm sure this is going to be taken wrong so I apologize ahead of time because I mean no offense but...I think the teen storylines seem a little trivial to more mature viewers. I'm not a teen either but I like a well rounded cast with a variety of ages and maturity levels.

well there's no need to recreate the wheel with this demographic. Just reuse what you have and used with the Belle/Shawn and Phillip/Chloe and Mimi storylines but using updated clothing and makeup...they do it with all the other storylines

Well there ARE teens who do watch the show too. they have to cater to ALL viewers. plus, honestly...i don't really understand what you mean by "teenage DOOL"...they aren't even on all that much...Will and Mia more than the others, but as a whole, i see them as a very small portion of the show. If something is boring to watch, I usually just ffwd.

I'm a teeenager. I like they older people on DOOL and the younger. Just because I am 13, it doesn't mean I can't like all of DOOL. Everyone is a teenager at some point in their lives. Every single person on this webite was at some point a teenager or is right now.

Most of the cast past and present started as teenagers or early twenties, and they have grown with the show and become very good actors. I see nothing wrong with their S/L.

I am a grandmother, and I find the teenagers on DOOL way more interesting than the older people. They are smarter, more morally focused, better friends, and way more honest. It's almost as if the teenagers should be guiding the parents instead of the other way around.

I think the teenager storylines are very up-to-date issues. Teenage sex, not to mention that there are more teen pregancies going on these days, jealousy between peers, blogging that gets them in trouble, journaling, etc.

I think the writers are right on target with these s/l... especially if you are a parent with teens. Awareness in these areas, you can never have enough. Maybe with these stories a parent who has a teen that is in trouble may be able to spot some tale tale signs. Nope... I enjoy watching the teen stories and an added bonus we get to watch them grow into some amazing actors/actresses.

They always have teen S/L and rely heavy on them in the summertime becasue it draws the teen viewers in and they get hooked like they are on crack and stay as lifelong viewers....or so they HOPE!

It's been that way FOREVER.

This group hasn't been getting as much air time as it seems previous grouls. I think they are sprinkled in quite nicely. I just love Mia and Will- and I didn't used to like Chad, but I do now. I think he is very realistically portrayed. I could do without Kinsey. I don't like the way she is written at all.

I'll be glad when it is all out in the open for mia. Tired of her getting a bad wrap, and having to lie her butt off all the time for worthless Nicole.

I have to say this group of "kids" is not isolated and not off in their own little world, they are interacting with the rest of the cast. I really liked Maggie getting all over Chad for breaking in. While alcholism itself isnt a funny thing, I have to say the scene in Maggies kitchen was pretty good when Lucas busted in drunk, there was some humour (you couldnt help but to chuckle at a few of Lucas's and Will's comments). But than you felt Will pain of being embarassed. And Chad and T actually acted like mature people and handled it very well, they kept Lucas from leaving and got Will to do the right thing. When Chad showed up I wasnt impressed but he really has grown on me, I think the first time was Nichole putting him in his place. I look forward to his interactions with Ej, Rafe, Sami and the rest of Salem. Anyway I think the writers have done a good job here with them.

I like the Will/Mia/Nicole story. Chad worries me...I missed Nicole's interaction with Chad...does she know that Chad is the father of Grace? I will feel so sorry AGAIN for Mia when she learns that Grace was her own child...I just pray this s/l is over soon...I don't like the babies being played like this.
