They already have a WTF triangle: Brady/Maggie/Xander

Yes he is and no it isn't, He ruined OLTL and GH as well

 

He's repeating stuff he did on those shows already. He's RERON for a reason

The show is so much better than it was under Higley and Tomlin. That you think those hacks were better than Ron speaks volumes. Sad. 

I’m just glad Days is entertaining again for the first time since 2006.

Well he recently signed a new contract with Days

I don’t see Ron being replaced. You can only produce a soap on fifty bucks a week for so long. Ron is here till the end, which may be next September.

Hey Jeffy

 

Yeah Ron is killing Days, I wonder how much longer they'll keep him lol

No he isn’t. Days is good for the first time in a dozen years thanks to Ron.

JFP was nothing but a c—t. We’re giving her too much attention.

Jill forced her out at GH. Jill orchestrated that.

Genie’s Y&R dismissal was a blessing because it allowed her to return to GH for the 50th. I wonder if JFP realized that.

I’m sorry but I found it uncomfortable to watch her.

  AGREED!

DEFINITELY NOT Genie Francis(Laura) NOR Maura West(Ava).   Why would you want the most iconic female on the show to be axed?!?!?!?!?   Also Maura West is one of the best, if NOT the best, actresses on the show!

Laura WRIGHT. Genie is the only reason I watch.

I’d take JFP back. I loathed her Y&R because she didn’t understand its aesthetic, but she is a much better fit for GH. The show looks bad and doesn’t match with the quality writing.

The bitch would fire Genie again. No thank you.

What exactly would be the reason to promote any of the GH names you mention up front to EP? What do any of us know they have done that would suggest they should be the new EP? What is the difference between Barrows or Weir, or Henry and Barrows?

 

"They're already on staff and their names were in the credits" is not a credible answer unless this is a very binary challenge that is simply 'promote anyone from within, just because I can read IMDB.'

The way you talk to people is so ugly.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but if you're going to be that sensitive then you will probably find yourself having to block quite a few posters.

I don’t care. I’m still not over what those hacks did to my show, and their fans and I share no common ground. We are polar opposites. 

3 minutes ago, Vee said:

Block and move on. Eventually the site will ban them.

Still continuing your crusade against me?

Vee doesn’t like what I have to say and is working on a campaign to get me kicked off the board. I’ve done nothing wrong. She just doesn’t like my opinions. What a strange, sad obsession. 

Vee, you can’t control what people talk about on a public message board.

How very mature of you. 

It's called a different opinion. People do have those on discussion boards.

I mean, Higley and Tomlin were the most destructive hacks in Days history. If someone likes them, I have no interest in dealing with that person. 

Higley and Tomlin ruined Days. The show still hasn’t fully recovered. Because of their reign of terror, I only watched Days for one year from 2008-2019 (the MarDar year). I hate them, and my hatred of Dena and Gary extends to their fans. They like the wrong Days.

What r u ?

You think Higley or Tomlin were better than Ron? If the answer is yes, I’m going to block you right now.

Ron has done everything I wanted since joining Days:

-brought back Matt Ashford on contract 

-brought back ED as Susan and Sister Mary Moira

-resurrected Kristen, EJ, and Will 

-completed the Hattie/Marlena switch story that first began in 2000

-gave me my Bonnie/Adrienne switch 

-brought back Mimi and gave her a miracle baby with Rex

-brought back Judith Chapman as Anjelica 

-brought back Lisa Rinna as Billie

-brought back Carrie for a couple of short arcs 

-brought back Princess Gina 

-brought back Dr Rolf

-restored the campy, fantastical, over the top tone 

I’m pleased.

The big problem is that when death doesn’t matter, it’s no longer effective as drama. The stakes are gone. And characters being constantly *stunned* when dead characters are resurrected starts to become as phony as Taylor Swift’s legendary “shocked” face. If you’re going to be science fiction/fantasy, just fully own it. Otherwise it’s just lazy writing when you can always have a “get out of jail free” to undo past storytelling decisions.

Days HAS embraced it! They have an entire brigade of resurrected people thanks to Rolf’s serum. I love it. Back from the dead is my favourite convention of this medium.

Days is awful. The ratings are truly deserved.

The writing is good. Ron is the best headwriter we’ve had since the second Reilly era. My problem is with the lack of budget resulting in terrible production values.

Also, the cast is awful. There are clearly characters that Ron is forced to write for (hello, RAFE!). Outside of Jack, Jenn, Marlena, John, and Victor, I don’t care about these characters. Days needs a major cast shakeup.

I don't care about Jack anymore. All his deaths and resurrections has turned the character into a joke. In fact all the deaths and resurrections, not just Jack's, has turned the whole show into a joke.

Why should I bother watching DAYS, or any of them, when they treat their audience with such lack of respect?

I love that Days resurrects the dead. Too often, they kill off great characters like Jack. No soap character should die unless the actor dies in real life.

It would be nice if they got Riche back but I don’t see it happening. They’d probably promote Tomlin since he’s already there as a director and has EP experience. Horrible choice, though. He’s JFP levels of bad.

No thank you. I can think of many things I'd rather do with my time.

It’s worth watching if only for Jack.

, Michelle Henry, Mercy Barrows & Mary Kay Weir are currently on Frank's team at GH

I’m not sure what you’re saying. You want one of these women to be EP?

Uh oh, Days fell below 2 million. 

I have been loyally watching every episode since New Years Eve. You should be too.

1 hour ago, dragonflies said:

LOL same here

I do but I got curious and clicked the “view post” option

It’s bizarrely selfish to wish cancellation on a show that others are enjoying just because you aren’t. 

Oh! And top it off, Tomlin had ED for a YEAR but only used her as Kristen and not her other characters!!! That god damn IDIOT!! Eric was a priest at the time. It would have made so much sense to include Sister Mary Moira. Not to mention EJ was eating up screentime and could have benefited from having his mother around.

What did Whitesell do to you this time?

Along with Tomlin and de Cazotte, he got rid of my faves (especially Matt Ashford), leading me to not watch Days for nearly six and a half years. 

Whitesell?! Oh FFS he’s just as rotten 

I’m taking a Xanax. All this TomSell talk has me so wound up 

Tomlin fired Deidre Hall (!) and Drake Hogestyn. As head writer, he got rid of Matt Ashford, Christie Clark, Patrick Muldoon, Lisa Rinna, Drake again, and Bryan Dattilo (took him off contract). He tried to supplant Marlena’s role on the show with Maggie. He’s the reason KDP was miscast as Eve (she said he hired her). He was awful and prevented me from watching for years. Oh I hate the man with every fibre of my being. Gary Tomlin can rot in hell!!!

Oh and don’t even get me started on Tomlin’s FIRST run, when he turned the show’s lead heroine Marlena into a rape victim. UGGGGGH. 

Ultimately I’d rather keep FV than risk ending up with GT, who would likely fire Genie, meaning I’d stop watching again.

20 minutes ago, cassadine1991 said:

Would Tomlin be THAT horrible?

YES!!!! He destroyed Days of Our Lives and made it unwatchable for years and years. They still haven’t fully recovered from the damage he did.

I shudder to think what he’d do to GH!

I hope they’ll cast a relative unknown as Chance. I can’t think of any soap actor in their 30s that I like.
