Icon   ChiTownBoi03 just saw promos for James Franco on GH, and I'm wondering why most soap promos can't be this elaborate(ie. DAYS)??

    Loved the Stefano and EJ scenes today. EJ is spiraling, I can see it...after the emotional rollercoaster ride he's been on. I am getting pretty sick of Nicole at this point. Now, she gets out of jail and STILL has very little remorse for all she has done and just continues to try getting gullible saps to do her bidding without batting an eyelash. I consider myself a Bricole fan, but man...Brady should be trying to get her some *therapy* before anything else. A good friend tells you when you're acting like a nutjob, and helps you take steps to rectify it.

    Remeber when Days Lexie threw that party and she was wearing some crazy red dress with big shoulder pads making her look like a Disney villianous? It was so over the top but I loved every minute of it...lol.


    MMM that was good...I found alittle of this on an old VHS tape. Is this the party where Bo beat the crap out of John after part of the paternity reveal came out?

    Bricole :wub: but boy...if I was Mia I would have been wishing i'd brought along a cup of hot, scolding Starbucks.

    Yeah that guy from ATWT--Marshall Travers...I would have preferred him, if they were going for that *tall dark and handsome* thing. Eddie Winslow looks nothing like Malcolm OR his daughter. But hey stranger things have happened in soap opera world.

    When I was comparing them, I was suggesting that these acts were also selfish in nature. Mia may have had feelings for her child, but she also had no trouble accepting money to run off to dance in some Japanese dive. I know her circumstances were awful, but Mia did benefit from the situation.

    Sami already had a child with E.J. Her fears were that Johnny would grow up to be like his father (actually, I think Mark Hapka may even have played adult Johnny in those scenes), which was part of her reason for keeping her unborn baby from E.J. Either way, she still kept E.J. in the dark about his child. Also, Sami didn't hear him order the hit, did she? The way I remember it was she showed up for the wedding to reveal the truth and that's when she learned Phillip had been shot while E.J. was saying his "I dos." Everyone knew it was E.J., but no one had proof.



    I would argue there are others who have done worse, but it wouldn't negate the fact that Nicole has done wrong. So you don't think Nicole's reasons justify her actions?



    For me, the scene didn't lose any power by being on the docks. I believe I said in a previous post I would have killed for this to have played out in the Dimera living room, but damn this scene NEEDED to be between Nicole and E.J. without Sami and Rafe being present. Sami wouldn't have kept her mouth shut long enough for Nicole to accomplish anything.

    Don't get me started on the Craig-Brady scene. That would have been killer. I love when Martsolf is given more to do than be a talk to.

    At times, I agree there seems to be an issue with the execution. Some things feel very awkward and underdeveloped, while the development is clearly there just not being explored properly (does that make any sense). Last week, when Chloe picked up Sydney, there was a rather nice scene between Chloe and Kate, but I felt like it wasn't as powerful as it should have been given what's there. I'm sure there are other examples people can think of.


    Ok yeah that makes sense. See I think this is what I was trying to get at it, without actually bashing the show as a whole. Some things feel like they could be more than what we end up getting. Such great material and plotting, but sometimes I feel really bored (which may be my Gemini rising, but I digress) You spoke of examples, another could be today, where the scenes with Carly and Vivian felt pretty underwhelming IMO. I don't know if they were trying to make them funny, uncomfortable, or intense or all of the above. They exchanged a few barbs, but I found it hard to take any of it seriously. I just wanted them to cut back to the baby switch wrapup. This is a Higley staple--great wonderful things that just come off boring and bland on the actual screen.
