I've been watching the show for about 16 years now, so if I think about all characters that had left during this time I could probably think of worse exit, but I was really annoyed how the Barretts and Kyle were written out. Don't get me wrong, most of the time I could barely tolerate the Barretts (especially Andy), but their exits we just ridicules. I have a feeling TPTB were trying to compensate. Since the Braxtons came to the Bay, a lot of fans were complaining how they got away with everything and that it didn't send a good message to the audience...so they just put those three in jail. I didn't like how they pretty much destroyed Josh's character. He was the one (out of all the Braxtons/Barretss/Ashford clan) that was trying to keep out of trouble and had potential to make something of himself. So they had him kill Charlotte, and then Andy all of the sudden admitted that he killed Jake....and they went on the run. It would be bad enough exit...but then they got caught. After all the crimes that were forgotten and forgiven, the Barrets got caught. Same goes for Kyle's exit. He took the blame for someone he knew for a month? Seriously? Especially because their relationship was so rushed and not really believable. IMO it would've been better if he took the blame for Phoebe or even Ricky. It just didn't make sense.

I never understood why would Brax choose to back up Kyle, Ricky and Josh over Casey. He always put Casey first and even though they were manipulated by Danny, Andy and Adam, it was completely out of character for him to bring them to live with the Braxtons. I liked Amanda Vale - I think that H&A needs more villains like her. I find Romeo, Hannah, Denny and Oscar's deaths unnecessary. I don't like how they need to have the wedding every season and then have short lived marriages. I don't understand why would Kat and Tori be with someone like Ash. I also don't understand why would Bianca be with someone like Heath. I'm tired of IVF storyline. So far it has been predictable, and as Robbo and Tori will most likely end up together, we don't really need all this additional drama. They should've just focused on fertility issues in this storyline and not love triangle. I don't like how they don't take disabilities and health issues seriously. I don't like how they brought old character back (i.e. Will, Kane, Sally, Chloe) just to have them destroyed. I liked Tory and Rachel more than Tony and Beth and Rachel and Kim. I find it odd that Mason only had one serious love interest (Beth) since he came to the show.

Favorite 1. Marilyn 2. Justin 3. Robbo 4. Dean 5. Tori Least Favorite 1. Jasmine 2. Irene 3. Willow 4. Leah (I like her with Justin though) 5. Ben (he needs a good storyline, since he came to the Bay he was just a sidekick)

The only hint was that Gina, John and Jett were very, very, very happy about Jett's adoption - and on H&A happiness means that the tragedy will strike soon. If memory serves me right Gina had aneurysm, and most of the time with aneurysms there are no symptoms/ signs. But as Sonia said in her exit interview Gina had to be killed off because there is no way she would leave John and Jett, it was sudden but justifiable (comparing to the most deaths on H&A that were unnecessary).
