The next five episodes are wall-to-wall villains and henchmen, each one entirely devoted to exterminating all of the others. We’re currently stumbling through the dying days of the 1897 storyline, and this week is especially grim. As far as heterosexual love stories go, there isn’t a lot of room to maneuver. Beth is dead, and Amanda is gone, and Angelique has vanished, and Kitty is turning into Josette, and Judith has decided to concentrate on vengeance and nothing else. It had a nice long run, but nothing lasts forever, especially in this town. So Love is dead, as a motivating force behind soap opera storytelling. Running away from her lover, she throws herself off of a mountain and into the sea, which is just like what happened to Josette, except this time it’s Beth and nobody cares. “How strange to think that such a place could trap one forever!”ĮEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, says Beth, as she slips off the cliff, and into something less comfortable.
