Awww Soapnet Where I first discovered Dynasty, Dallas and Knots Landing 😂

Happy New Year y’all 🎉🎉🎊 One thing I really liked about today was the change in style. Today just felt so different then what we’ve gotten used to after so long and I enjoyed that. Everything was taken seriously, instead of being treated like some big joke or a soap opera parody. And the episodes itself, and the characters reactions, seemed a lot more realistic. I really hope people BTS are taking notice of this. Tate seemed a little stupid today, but again, it just seemed so realistic. Fear makes people do stupid things. And I thought the actor did pretty well today too. He finally got a chance to flex his acting muscles and I was impressed. I enjoyed Abe/Paulina and the way it was written as well. Jackee, in particular, really stood out to me and I honestly think this was one of the best performances she’s given since she’s been on Days. It seemed so in character for Paulina, but at the same time, it wasn’t over the top and silly. And I actually smiled when Abe said he loved her and was sticking by her no matter what lol Good way to start the new year. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s episode.

Sounds like a plan! 😍😂😂

Yep. She left the following week. The Duvall's did too.

Had to check 😂😂 That was the week Valerie found out that Trish was pregnant and that David was the father.

Yep. It’s a self storage facility now lol

Already, this sound deeper and a lot more complex than what we’re used to

Joss

Unfortunately, the one person who deserved to get slapped this year more than anyone, didn't get one 😂😂 As for other slaps, I do remember Obrecht slapping Liz

We might not have gotten it on network TV either. I like when they push the envelope a little. Such is Days: when they get it right, they get it right. But when they get it wrong, they get it really wrong 😂😂 In some cases, couldn’t get it more wrong even if they tried.

Interesting. So that means that AW and Texas shared one production office? As well as the same studio?

Ok, what the f*ck was Theresa wearing? And that jacket made her look like a muppet. Nicole looked good though. And so did Johnny, Tate and Holly. I liked the party scenes and how different storylines played out around it. And the guy with the awful wig was back 😂 But once again, Leo was unnecessary. And it really sucks that he’s going back to the Spectator. That would never happen in real life lol I’m glad that Tate and Holly had their first kiss but the drug thing really seemed to come out of nowhere. We should have seen her get to this point or at least gotten an explanation as to why she suddenly made the jump from weed to alcohol to hard drugs. I was a little surprised at how Holly looked at the end of the episode though. I expected her just to be passed out, not seizing and foaming at the mouth. The show went further than it usually does and I’m impressed by that. But, awwww Chad. I felt really bad for him at the end. But I still like how conflicted he is as a character. His storyline can go in so many different directions. Too bad Stephanie’s been dumbed down though.

I love how Dave is still so high up on the list 😂😂

True lol but I haven’t heard any rumors or spoilers. Besides, Ron would be out for blood if that happened while he was on strike 😂😂 Yeah, for a couple of weeks now. I feel like there’s been some improvements in the writing from day to day

Yeah @j swift Maggie was in town when John first debuted, dealing with the aftermath of her rape. They may have interacted a little because John’s first job was at the hospital.

Wouldn’t it be so nice if Leo was killed off while Ron was on strike? I know it’s not happening, but it’s nice to dream about. Hopefully, they’ll be a lot less prop writing at least. I enjoyed Nicole’s therapy session with Marlena. Ari is still killing it. And I’m glad that Nicole confessed that, for a time, she did wish that the baby was Eric’s. With the way that Ari’s always played it, you could always tell that, deep down, Nicole wanted that. And I like that Nicole is now determined to be a good mother to Holly. Once Eric and Nicole reunite, Holly finding out the truth about her father’s death could be a really good storyline. Btw, Eric has a job? 😂😂 As for Konstantin, I still can’t stand him but I am a little interested in him knowing John from the past or wherever. I wonder if this was in Ron’s plan or if this is a strike story. It could be good. I just hope that it doesn’t contradict John’s already convoluted backstory. That’s for sure lol And besides, it’s been SIX AND A HALF YEARS!!! 😂😂 Even if things were going good, it would still be time for a change I like Harris as well. And its always good to see SB play someone that’s not a Jason clone, or Jason like at all. Was it Mia?

There was another time. In Trina’s dorm room, I think

L. Virginia Browne came on as head writer and a lot of characters were immediately sent packing. I guess Carolyn Culliton was a casualty as well

Could be lol but ever since that list started showing up on the Home screen, Days is always trending in the top 3. A couple of times, it was even number 1 Or bites the bullet and brings on a new head writer

Ada, AW. Widowed three times in nine years.

Today was really couple heavy. Not much happened but I didn’t really have a problem with it. The scab writers really seem to be injecting more romance into the scripts, without hitting us over the head with it, and I like that. Subtlety is a good thing sometimes 😂😂 Tate/Holly was the best part of today. They were really sweet and charming and I’m glad that they’re finally going on a real date. I hope that Holly’s infatuation with Johnny continues to be a part of this storyline. I don’t see them as a couple or anything but it would still be good conflict for her and Tate in the future. And I still say that they need some friends their own age. It would add another layer to their storyline. Like a hunky jock or a Mimi-like character that Holly can be best friends with. I was surprised by Melinda today. She was actually used pretty well with Wendy. Her feelings about Li and her guilt over his death really should have been the reason why she was so determined to have Sloan take Nicole’s baby. Yeah, it’s not the best explanation in the world but it’s better than the non-explanation that we got. I hope Tripp and Wendy end up staying in Salem though. They are boring but I still think that there’s a lot that can be done with them. Ron and Co. totally lost interest in them and I’m hoping the scab writers came up with a storyline for them, or found a good way to weave them into somebody else’s. Johnny and Chanel’s perhaps?

I love how Nina reporting a crime is now considered a sin 😂😂 And even though Chris and Dan are back writing, I hope the thinning of the herd continues. It’s well passed the time for Cyrus to be killed off.

ALL: Less prop writing
