Why being blind on the soaps never works...

I see you!
It's just plain bullshit if you ask me

Okay, okay, so I'm finding stupid things to bitch about. But how could I resist something as STUPID as this? Okay, you have Chloe, who's been blind for, what? 2 months? Seems like 2 weeks, if you know what I mean. Anyways. Today, of all days, a freakin' leap day, where everything's a joke (well...if you don't know, people say that women used to ask men to marry them...I dunno, I heard that from someone who's a moron)...Chloe can see!!!!!!!! Oh, goodie for her, right? I dunno. Sounds pretty damn convenient if you ask me.

Now, my VCR has been dickin out on me lately, therefore, I am not that up to date with everything. I missed like...3 days. But anyhoo, I know what's up.Okay, so Chloe goes to the hospital to get some little worky work done on her brain, correct? Oh, and WOW, Chloe gets her vision back! Yeah yeah, it's not that clear, but she knew Jax was right there in front of her. Haaaaaaaaaaa. That makes me laugh. Riiiight, okay, let's pretend lil' ol' me is blind for a second. I lose my vision. Then a 10th of a second later, I can see again! Yay me!

See, now didn't that sounds stupid? Exactly. This storyline cracks me up. Chloe's cool and all, but damn. You coulda given the girl at least 3 months of blindness. Why couldn't we just make it seem a little realistic for a jiff?

Anyways...blind characters don't last long on the soaps. From my knowledge anyways. See, I watch The Young and the Restless, right, cuz my grandma loves the show. And yeah, there was this blind chick named Hope. Was. Where she at? NOWHERE cuz her ass got kicked off the show. Least that's how I saw it. Her storyline was TIRED. Sure, there were those who gave a fuck, but there were those who didn't. It just hella sucks. That's why Chloe's got her vision back all of a sudden, ya know? Plus, the girl is a designer...now how the fuck is she gonna do her JOB if she ain't got her vision? That's all I'm sayin. Blindness don't work on daytime.

And tell me why are they trying to pass it off as some miracle, ya know? Why are they acting like we the viewers don't know it's hella fake. It's also impossible in a way. I mean, sure there are some miracles that happen, but damn. Why does everything gotta be a fucking miracle on the soaps? Let's get real again, GH. Man...
