Of course!!! SO much better, and yet Korte will undo it in 3, 2, 1.....

I'm actually a little afraid of that; that GH is gonna go back to being just the "Let's bash Nina" hour.

You would think going to jail and then a halfway house (?) or whatever it was would have harden him a bit.

It looked like the storyline was gonna go in that direction, not just with Holly but with Brady and Theresa as well.

But now with the recast, and the writer change, who knows?

He was messy when JMM played him.

Yeah, and that was really good. They really needed to keep that character trait going, especially now that prom is coming lol

The teens come off so fake. Teens don't talk that way.

Well, considering the way teens were when I was one, I prefer that Tate/Holly and co. be so corny and cliche. 

But I definitely wouldn't have Tate come off like the big hero that he's been coming off as recently. If it were me, I'd have him be just as messy as Holly.

Sophia is better than what's his name but that's not saying much.

That Brady Bunch scene with Marcia was bad.

 

True 

How would you write the teens?

For me, the verdict is still out on Sophia.

We'll see what happens this summer. That's always been a time for Days to really push the teen storylines.

I had never put it altogether until now, but I enjoy the DAYS tradition of bratty teen girls through the years.  We went from shoplifting Julie, to mouthy Hope, back talking Ciara, and now baby monster Holly.  Each decade gets their own whippersnapper.

I'm glad that they've all been written like that. Teens are supposed to be messy lol and messiness leads to drama.

Tate should have an alternative that isn't Holly.

He might have an alternative in Sophia.

Summerslam 1991 - Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior vs. Sgt. Slaughter, Colonel Mustafa and General Adnan. Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig for the Intercontinental Championship.
And, the wedding of “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.

If I remember correctly, DAYS did fire the entire writing staff during the 2007 strike.  I think some of them came back but most of them didn't. 

Didn't Corday get fined for that?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Sonja Alar was listed as script writer for today's episode. Of all the writers we get the fired guys wife first. No other writers we listed.

NGL, her still being on the writing team seems so awkward.

Another weird one lol

I didn't dislike it, and I did love everybody dancing and being so happy, but just like that episode when everyone was running the Quartermaine house, it just came off as so weird.

Btw, Patti, the walking stereotype is unnecessary,

I understand why Sonny had to lose it on Dex, but the way that it happened seemed a little forced. There had to have been another way to trigger Sonny then to have Dex suddenly become besties with the Cerullo's out of nowhere, though I wouldn't mind Lois or whoever bringing Cousin Lucia to PC to be with him 

Plus, I agree with everyone on here who was wondering how young marine, mercenary Dex can't take down a Grandpa who's halfway to feeble. 

And why is Trash Bag Joss suddenly so gaga over Dex again?

Maurice's lines today, specifically the "cliffhanger" where Kristina overheard him and dropped something on the ground, were ridiculous. Intentional or not, it was as if I was watching a newcomer perform the scene. It's so unlike him. IMO, he didn't like saying those words.

Ya know, I had no idea that you could put a gun in somebody's head 

Everything to do with Holly/Nicole was the best part of today. Holly was so messy and bitchy today and I’m here for it. That’s the why she should be written, all the teens should be written like that actually. The relationship between her and Nicole and the fears that they both have and had over the years is really good dynamic that should be explored. Holly’s conversation with Marlena could play into that dynamic as well.

And of course, it was also the right decision to have Eric be the one to come to Nicole’s rescue when she was drunk. The cliffhanger was pretty good too. I wonder what EJ’s gonna do now. 

Btw, did EJ really think that he could keep the secret that he was CEO of Dimera again from Paulina and everybody? That’s pretty dumb lol 

All the stuff with Clyde was pointless, as always. I’ll never understand why Days hasn’t killed him off yet. My hatred aside, the character has more than run its course. If they’re worried about the show needing a villain, there are plenty of contract actors/characters on the canvas already who could fill that position. 

What a mess.

I really hope we get an interview from somebody, anybody about this. 

There’s definitely a story behind all this, both behind the scenes and what we were seeing onscreen as well. 

Xander and Sarah were really sweet today. Let them be happy for a little while before it all gets blown to hell again. And I couldn’t be happier that they finally have an actual baby playing Victoria

I’m intrigued by Maggie’s plan to get Konstantin. And if it leads to him getting killed off lol I’d love it. He’s so ridiculous and annoying, he had me rooting for Alex in their scenes today. 

Speaking of Alex, I think him getting back with Theresa while two-timing her with Kristen is actually a really good idea. It’s make the whole mess that he’s in with Theresa even messier. I’m looking forward to when everything comes out even more now. And hopefully, it means that we’re gonna be spared an Alex/Kristen- typical Ron- annoying villain couple pairing. Kristen’s a lot of things but she’s definitely no one’s side piece.

Now, I am confused. Why does Ava think it might have somehow been her responsibility that Gil murdered Li?! 

She thinks Gil must have been at the apartment to try and rape her and that Li was just in the wrong place at the wrong time

Awwwwww

Guess what’s on TBS right now

I guess the residuals weren’t enough for Darius.

That sure was a passionate bro hug.

Those are the best kind

I'm half Italian but for some reason it didn't bother me.

I thought it was hideous. If I showed it to the women in my family, they’d faint

Hehe. You are getting ready for tonight's bday party. LOVE IT.

Where would the licking start?

Am I invited to this bday party?

Ok, what the hell was Kristina wearing? 

And Lois??? Yikes. Speaking as an Italian, I can honestly say that no Italian mother would wear a monstrosity like that to their child’s wedding

I did like a lot of the sweet family and friends moments though, especially the ones with Tracy. And I loved the bro hug between Spinelli and Jason

As for newbie Gio, if they’re just gonna waste him with Joss, the actor would have been better off as a Cam recast.

Something. Anything, I hope 

Ugghhhh Leo 

Him and all that bullshit propaganda that supposed to brainwash fans into liking him are not what I needed today. 

I am a little interested in EJ refusing to reopen Gabi’s case though. It could lead to something good happening, like with Nicole and the baby for instance. I like when one plot point can set off a chain reaction like that. 

But I’m cautiously optimistic about Abigail’s journal and what it could lead to. I did kinda like the mystery that started today but it also did seem a little clunky, especially considering what we already know about what was going on around the time that Abigail died.

I’m also a little worried about what may happen if it turns out that

NGL, loved this era when it was clear adults were playing the teens, simply because I feel like today's teens look too young, and it's uncomfortable to watch.

I’ve noticed that lol not just with teens either. People in general look a lot older then they really were back then

Why do the extras playing high school kids look like adults?

A little stupid but tbf, it’s nothing new, in any medium actually

For example 

Re: the wedding. It does seem like GH is hyping it up to be a lot more than it really is. Like ChaLynn had been the A couple the entire time they’ve been together or something. But I am looking forward to whatever may happen.

And I enjoyed Ava vs. Nina too. The biggest reason being was that both women were on an even playing field. The last writing team would have made it so anti-Nina that the whole fight would’ve been laughable. 

But, as for Drew being a politician…

Awwwww... that is sweet. I got the PMs from you and others.

Life happens.... received devastating news that my best friend/first crush/former boyfriend from my childhood lost his father. 

Glad you’re ok.

Sorry for your loss.
