Why do we get so upset when the writers of Soap Operas insult our intelligence?

lol,,,,This is so true.I get so upset with my soaps regardless of who's writing them!!!

I only watch GH, but the "substitute" writers for that show did a better job than the "real" ones. Also, a lot of people are tuning out and have been for quite some time. Soaps have been hemorrhaging viewers for years, but the idiots in charge blame the low ratings on a change in the market rather than a sharp decline in quality. I don't expect a story without flaws; I expect a story that's worth watching in spite of its flaws, and I haven't been getting that.

well it's a fantasy world anything can happen like bringing the dead back 50 million times however I think the substitutes that were used forgot to watch the show cause they are not even close to what should even being showed they probably wanted to change things to suit them too not knowing what the show was about, Haven't watched an episode, or just plain idiot's that wanted it done there way no matter how tortured the fans were for watching and now that the strike is over the main writers are going to let it ride until they play catch up and make more episodes to even out what the substitutes did to the shows at the expense of the fan watching.

Doesn't matter who's doing the writing, storylines get really whacky and we KNOW better, yet we feel a connection to the characters we like best and get offended or insulted when they do stupid stuff. Case in point: bringing Jesse back on AMC - he's been dead for 20 years and now the nim-wit writers think we'll believe that he's been alive all this time. But during this time, Jesse found time to go out and get his ear pierced and a diamond stud put in. Gimme a break! Isn't their expecting us to believe the ridiculous reason he was shot enough?

They were insulting out intelligence long before the writers strike

you said it very clearly.. "We are the ones who continue to tune in every day."

stop tuning in or tune to another program and they will stop insulting us.

i do agree with you. and i hate absolutely hate when they insult us by rewriting history oh so many times.. urgh..

i tell you.. days of our lives does this on a continuing basis. i think that show goes on the guiness book of world records for rewriting history many many times..

Because we get so involved we forget it's a pretend world and they can stretch the limits ! LOL

They weren't substitutes. They were SCABS.

most likely because you feel insulted lol.

You answered it key word they ((insulted)) us!!
