I don’t know if you tune in to any of the other 3 (Y&R, B&B or GH), but if you look closely, all 3 have parents who literally smother their children, butt into their lives constantly, and find any which way they can to plant themselves into their children’s lives and then claim it’s because of their love for family and that they are "only protecting them". It’s ad nauseum on all of them. Must be the No. 1 rule in "Soap Opera Writing 101."
