I dare you ..

to let Carly, Kate, and Connie have a backbone.
to have Carly's character be the strong woman that she is.
to have the women of show stand up against the violence.

for once.. to not let them be manipulated by Sonny. It is disgusting. It is a sick, poorly written cycle.

Women, real women, do not like the violence.
Gunshots, explosions, fights - if sprinkled throughout the year, sure - they could be exciting. To see them every week is draining.

You are wasting the talents of Laura Wright, Maurice Benard, Steve Burton and Ingo Rademacher. (I won't even go into the others for now, nor the topic of the Vets of the show.)

Laura Wright has such potential as Carly - fiery and strong. Yet, all she gets to do is get manipulated by Sonny over and over again and further ruin what could have been a powerhouse relationship with Jax.

Maurice Benard, is being forced into the corner. I don't understand how he can stand it. Sonny's in the mob - he's wants out - he wants back in - ooh "tough" mobster guy .. rinse and repeat. Sonny needs a drastic change. Have him actually go to prison for awhile. Get creative.

Steve Burton. You really missed opportunity with him. Just when there was hope maybe he'd be more inclined to remember his medical training and maybe he wants out of the biz to have a "normal" life.. he gets sucked back into the same corner you've written Sonny. Again, strong potential with his character. My god have him 'go good' - work with Anna! Restart the WSB! Get creative!

Ingo.. I don't know why he sticks around other than getting a steady paycheck. You, the writers, have horribly misused another great character. He can't catch a break can he? Just when you paired him up with the most unlikely (based on history) character, Carly, and you convinced the viewers (thanks to Laura and Ingo's acting and chemistry) -- you pull the same Sonny crap over again.

And yet, I watch.

If these were the only characters on the show, I'd never watch. But thanks to the other characters; Robin, Anna, Elisabeth, Spinelli, Maxie.. and the vets when they're allowed out of their cages, are on the show - I am happy. I know others share the same sentiment...

Get creative folks. You've been screwing with a show with an amazing history and fanbase. Don't you hear what people are saying? We love our show, we do, but it's dying a slow death.

End the violence. Honor the history. Get creative.
