1974mdp

I think the characters of Will and Electra (that name...lol) are DOA. It's a shame. I had somewhat high hopes for the character of Will, but they've basically given him next to nothing to do and his relationship with his mom, Katie, has been pretty much nonexistent. The actor and the character of RJ kinda grew on me. I still don't get why he was dropped out of nowhere.

Hilarious!!! I will never be able to wrap my head around how they let Krista Allen, who was doing an amazing job, go only to mis-recast the role so insanely with RB. Imagine if RB had been brought on as a BRAND NEW CHARACTER with none of the baggage that has been dragging the show down for years. It would have been so much more interesting.

Wow....BTG brought me to tears today actually, and that has not happened to me with a TV show in a very, very long time. I had a close friend take her own life about 15 years ago, and it's always haunted me that maybe I could have done something...anything...that would have changed that. So, Anita "getting forgiveness from Barbara after all these years, had me bawling like a baby. Damn you MVJ!

I remember tuning in after many years and Nick making a mention of Christian. I had no idea who that was since I've never seen him. I had to look up the character out of curiosity.

I'm still so p8ssed about the Chance thing, and I haven't watched since.

I've been watching the first year episodes of B&B on Tubi, and it's practically Shakespeare level compared to what the show has today.

This show just repeats and repeats and repeats. How many times is Brooke (and Taylor) going to let Ridge treat them as disposable? Those two aren't "destiny." They're just toxic. Would LOOOOOVE to see KKL paired with a brand new male character.

Was there a weird greenscreen thing going on during the fashion show?

Yes! It reminds of when GH just started killing off Quartermaines just to do something. Such a long-term mistake. They've had to backtrack and try to reestablish that family.

EXACTLY! He had so much potential. I never understood why the romance with Summer was never developed. The character should have simply left town...maybe to move close to Nina. Killing Chances was so unneeded. I couldn't even watch today. I just throw my hands up in the air with this show at this point.

He deserved so much better and had so much potential. But, nope, let's do another boring corporate takeover story!

Why bring in a brother for Nate only to have him just as quickly killed? Why kill Chance...the only blood Chancellor left on the show and a character we watched grow up as a child? For two seconds of conflict that none of the characters seemed to even worry about right after his death? Poor Nina! After all she's been through. WHAT. THE. HELL. WAS. THE. POINT? Chance, Damian, Cole, Heather...all senseless dyings with absolutely no on-going story potential. It's like at this point JG is just killing people off without any idea of what else to do besides boring corporate take over stories? When in God's name are we getting another writer, and is it already too late?

I can't even with this show anymore. Chance...a legacy character. For what???

ITA. I think a recast with a different spin on the character could have been interesting.

I may not have watched DAYS faithfully the past few years, but I did watch the episodes for Doug's funeral. I found SSH performance to be extremely moving and some of the best episodes the show had done in a very long time. Looking at the nominees, some are head scratchers. What was the amazing material some of them even had to play?

Wow...the triple shooting was just so out of nowhere and ho-hum. I've been watching the first season of the show on Tubi. The level of writing back in 1987 was 1,000X better, more nuanced, and more developed than anything the show churns out today. Sure, as a new soap, there were some things that needed to be ironed out and tweaked, but overall, sooooo much better than we get now. Just SF Stephanie has so many layers, and there's so much subtext in the performances. Now, we just get looney Luna shooting people while her "him-bot" daddy repeats dialogue in his office over and over.

ITA. The show desperately needs new...and some younger...blood! Put Katie on recurring and let HT focus on directing and writing. I think the following characters should be rested and/or written out... Katie Poppy (has to be soon anyways) Daphne Taylor (I feel for RB, but she just ain't Taylor) Sheila (all her bite is already gone) Liam (but I doubt they'd do that) Electra (horrible name and no real point to this character) Bill (perhaps recurring though) That's EIGHT slots open right there. Create a struggling fashion house upstart that also...finally...includes a gay character. Cast a Latino character or two since it is Los Angeles, for heaven's sake! Introduce an actually compelling younger generation that Will can be a part of. All these characters could be part of the upstart company. Stop repeating, boring, incestuous love triangles. Finally give Brooke a new man! Maybe dive into why she keeps throwing herself at Ridge despite him tossing her out like trash over and over...daddy issues from what her father did for sure! Finn has always come across to me as a brainless sex-bot for Steffy. Show his dark side that he maybe inherited from Sheila.

This story would have been 1,000 times better and actually got the audience invested.

Is Van Hansis on contract now?

Wow....JMW must have a helluva guarantee in her contract.

Same here! They look a lot alike. Could he be a reboot of Jeremy Horton???

The show is dangerously close to being The Tired and the Exhausted. The show is sooo in the need for some younger, fresh characters not bogged down in decades of history and has-nots trying to improve their lot in life. Right now, practically everyone is "super rich and successful." Where's the conflict in that?

I agree. He was SUPER stiff when he started, but he's improved immensely...and he is quite the piece of eye candy. Just the booty alone. Yes, I know the actor is older than him...but Ted still looks like he could be Martin's younger brother. I think NuTed is the better actor, but I'm not quite sure he's physically is right for the role. He looks soooo young! I mean, good for the actor. It is nice seeing all of these various characters and subplots connecting with Martin's secret.

And, this has been going on for years and years and years and years..."Billionaires" talking about taking over this vague company or that vague company or people talking about who's going to work at this vague company or that vague company. Why in God's name do TPTB think their viewers care about these kind of stories? The REALLY sad part is that Billy Flynn has chemistry with Lily. Imagine if he had been a brand new character or some other mystery man with a different connection with Lily. It would all be sooooo much better.
