Really disappointed with how they've been treated as window dressing this visit. And apparently they're leaving again next week without even visiting with John and Marlena.

Agree. It's been rude. I really like Belle (not this Shawn - Jason Cook 4-eva!).

Since Jason Cook is not coming back because he wants to be a director now, I like this Belle and Shawn as the adult version of Shelle and Kirsten and Jason as the teen version of Shelle. Jason47 said somewhere that they'll be making another visit soon though, hopefully that goes better than this one.

I warmed up a little to Brandon Beemer's Shawn last time around. It was a tough act to follow, given Jason's brief return prior to that; he just slipped right back in and was the quintessential Sawn again.
I feel like I like Martha Madison as Belle less each time she leaves and comes back. From the moment she took on the role, they've never seriously developed the character; and she just doesn't seem to fit right for me somehow. I'd much rather see Belle recast and a new story done that explores and redefines the character - ostensibly keeping her as a protagonist, but something that let's the character growth.
Aging Claire as much as they did was a monumental mistake. Not only am I annoyed by the character most of the time (especially if she breaks out the guitar) the decision has sort of been an albatross around the neck of Shawn and Belle who have been reduced to Claire's mom and dad, in her story about entering adulthood, when they'll show has barely scratched the surface with either of them.

I agree that they really took Belle and Shawn fro young adults to middle aged rather quickly. They could have had more kids and more romance and more stuff going on and they just went from being Shelle to basically Doug and Julie.
