Why don't they let Naomi be a character?

Watching “Claudine” (1974) for the first time really reenforced my decision to remain childfree— a personal essay.

Happy birthday to everybody’s fave cinema girlfriend Maggie Cheung today! An old post regarding where you can stream some of her films including my favorite “In the Mood for Love” (2000).

I wish the writing for Eva’s character was as fire as her new hairstyle. I wanted her to have this look months ago. 😂 #beyondthegates #btg

A few more weeks away until I see myself onscreen through Janine Teagues. That’s my girl! 😂 #abbottelementary #janineteagues

Also why have Ted sexually assaulted a couple of days after chelsea was rescued from being kidnapped by a crazy obsessive stalker who wanted to sexually assault her.

Yes, they definitely hate Ted Richardson because ain’t no way!!! I love how these wishy washy women can blast these men for treating them terribly yet still willingly sleep with them days later. Doesn‘t make for an interesting watch. #btg #beyondthegates #IWishTheViewersLuckAndEyeBleach

Exactly! I read the fall previews and it’s not at all promising! They got those girls contradicting themselves over such a lackluster character. I’m so done with it. One of the worst triangles ever. Poor wishy washy writing. Terrible man to fight over. I love Eva, but not these stories for her. 😢

You’re stronger than me. I didn’t even turn my TV on today. I’m tired. I liked those few Laura/Eva scenes, but I see Laura wasn’t meant to be anything more than a prop. Never saw Eva as Leslie 2.0 as some viewers. Now I think the writers are attempting to strongly emphasize that last minute.

We’re in our seventh month of a new soap. There’s more interesting stories for other characters yet Eva seems to be stuck in a rinse/repeat cycle. At least have her hop a train to Chicago to uncover more about Barbara’s life since Leslie’s only interested in the money. Bring Peaches back. Something!

They refuse to move Eva around she has never been given a friend outside of toast aka “Tomas” to fully explore how she was raised, what an awful mother Leslie has been. I want to know who Eva is outside of her trash parents, her beef with Katherine, and lust for the android. #beyondthegates #btg

Yessss!!! And this was around the time Laura got released. It would have been interesting to see Eva being torn whenever she interacted w/Laura and also showing the degrees of her mama’s abuse. You’re absolutely right. The writers refuse to go there. I think they just prefer Trish/Ambyr as a unit.

Femfilmrogue @femfilmrogue.bsky.social · Sep 12

I can definitely see that. Eva should have moved past this Leslie drama when she started bonding with Ted’s side of the family, build her independence. Instead, Eva’s hiding the Laura evidence, spending time with Leslie despite the stealing and begging Ted for money, and still flirting with Nomas…

I sure do miss Eva interacting with other people, especially Martin. I wonder what their conversations would have been like, Eva supporting Sam and Tyrell too.
I took a break after she kicked Ted out. Very much uncalled for. And Leslie’s war against the Duprees makes no sense. #beyondthegates #btg

Selena Illyria @selenaillyria.bsky.social · Sep 12

You know what would've been nice instead of the Leslie scene? Ted and Eva showing up with Orphey Genes to the Duprees just to make sure they ate and checking in on Nicole and everyone. Seeing Eva bond with Vernon and Martin again. #BeyondTheGates

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

Was complaining about this last week. I get that Chelsea and Kat are very close, but they are playing it like Naomi is the cousin and I don't like that.

Femfilmrogue @femfilmrogue.bsky.social · Sep 9

That’s what I’m not liking about this story. There’s no conversations between Jacob/Naomi. She’s not part of the rescue effort. Sounds like he doesn’t keep her in the loop at all. Not calling before reaching the cabin??!! She has no location on him?! Very problematic. #btg #beyondthegates

Is it not weird that Naomi is Chelsea sister and she isn’t the one hounding her HUSBAND Jacob? Just Kat & Madison…idk i don’t like this. #BTG #BeyondTheGates

I wish they would get Tomàs out of Eva’s orbit! Please let Jacob’s brother be for her, otherwise it’ll just be me praying for Tomàs to die or leave town! #btg #beyondthegates

Finally posted a new “passing the time” fanfic, “Even Delayed Butterflies Receive Splendorous Wings,” a murder mystery that has a slow burn friendship between Eva Thomas and Laura Peterson (as well as original romance) and more. 💜

Amen! Tell me about it! I have to shake my head because every other post on the BTG Facebook group is “Kat and Jacob should have an affair.” It’s getting on my nerves. Naomi has enough going on in her life and doesn’t need a husband behaving like her father. #btg #beyondthegates

Femfilmrogue @femfilmrogue.bsky.social · Aug 29

It’s way too many Kat/Jacob hookup fantasies swirling on the net due to them constantly having scenes together. Sex talk moment was cringy enough. Whether intentional or not, please do not let Jacob do his wife dirty like that. There’s enough cheaters on the soap as is. #btg #beyondthegates

I liked the double meaning vows Chelsea exchanged with crazy Allison yesterday. Still, her kidnapping would have been the perfect impetus for a Jacob and Naomi adventure story. Kat is Chelsea’s BFF and all, but this is a missed opportunity for a married couple to grow closer. #btg #beyondthegates
