Was this show always this sad?

Did you catch theTitanicandRomeo + Julietreferences?
But this is why I love teen soaps.
As Belly texted Steven,Soooo much crying :( …Belly, of course, being heartbreak central.
In episode two, Belly is on a mission with two objectives.
The first is to locate Conrad and obtain proof of life.
Weve missed you, Jer!
Belly knows she was so focused on Conrad that she forgot about Jer when Susannah was sick.
Jer admits he needed her and felt abandoned.
And were back on the road.
See that, Conrad?
Good things happen when you share your feelings.
And its Bellys first time, too!
Ugh, my heart!
Surprised by Steven at the bookstore, Taylor doesnt miss a beat yes-and-ing her way out of the confrontation.
And I need Belly with me today!Youre right.
Im sorry for being a jerk.
Speaking of Steven, when hes not peacocking in front of Taylor, hes almost insufferably perfect.
Am I a bad mom?
she asks her perfect son Steven.
Of course not, he says (because hes perfect, and thats the only right answer).
I cant be too hard on Laurel, though.
The house is for sale.
Emotional Gut Punches
Again with the Olivia Rodrigo!
Laurel crying in the dressing room.
Been there, girl.
This line: It happened so fast, Belly.
It was really, really bad.
