As iconic as Joan and Alexis were, not even they could keep viewers tuned into the hot, bubbling mess that DYNASTY had become. I mean, how do you gun down the majority of your cast and only a few, minor, inconsequential characters end up going to the boneyard?

If that's how it's done, then I'm DEFINITELY pitching my Brady-wakes-up-thinking-he's-Amanda-Howard idea first chance I get!

Bite. Your. Tongue. Honestly, as soon as Marlena was freed from the devil's clutches (FOR THE SECOND TIME), the story should have been over and done with. Instead, Possession 2.0 has been like the bad soap opera plot equivalent of a car stereo that has a CD of "Whoomp! There It Is!" on repeat, and you can't turn it off, because you stupidly locked your keys in the car and kept it running, and now all the neighbors are pissed, because it's been playing non-stop and at loud volume for over an hour, and they're just ready to grab some baseball bats and beat the [!@#$%^&*] out of you AND the car. ...Or something like that.

Chloe and Nancy should feel torn about this, wanting Craig to be CoS on the one hand, but questioning Leo's true motives on the other. And Brady and Chloe should experience conflict over this, too, since I guess Brady would regard Kayla almost like family.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks, @Soapsuds!

Proving that, yes, Sofia, t'ere is a God.

Seriously, we can't get Sheri Anderson and Lorraine Broderick to team up and co-head-write this show?

As bad as this story has been, though, I'm not sure that's good for them, lol.

Wasn't that the season when DYNASTY topped the ratings, though? I tend to agree with Gordon Thomson. The "massacre" itself wasn't the downfall; it was the fact that it ultimately had no real impact on the show.

Corday gives all his HW's free reign. It's a lot easier than actually running the show his parents entrusted him with. Plus, it gives him more time to play golf and perform with his bar mitzvah band on weekends. Sarenee is your classic Idiot Plot. The minute anyone wises up, the story's over. Hey, I can get down with silliness as much as the next queen. But even silliness has to contain SOME interior logic. There's no logic to Sarenee. Or to Johnny Devil-or-Angel-I-Can't-Make-Up-My-Mind. There's no logic to ANY thing that Ron writes for this show. It's literally him and maybe Ryan Quan spitballing ideas like Michael and Elliot on "thirtysomething," except Michael and Elliot would eventually hit upon something that worked.

John: "AGAIN with this [!@#$%^&*]!? Look, Doc, we're both over sixty-five and have boatloads of cash. Let's say we just pull up stakes and move to Florida and forget we ever knew this town!" Marlena: "But, John, what about my practice?" John: "You still have a practice?"

Hey, I never claimed to have enjoyed the Freilich-produced seasons, lol.

These days, even the 15-minute format would be very appealing on streaming, as you could literally watch an episode (or two) on your phone or watch.

That's it. I'm conducting a seance. Either Bill Bell's ghost comes and saves this show, or NBC cancels it yesterday. Those are my terms.

Not quite. We don't have any intersexed blackmailers getting pregnant by their fathers...yet. LOL!!

Have I missed something? Why is Susan attempting to prove Belle is possessed?

Come back, Dena! All is forgiven!

Now, "Deception Realty" has a nice ring to it, lol.

Please tell me the choice of Clyde's reading material is not Ron Carlivati trying once again to be clever.

You know, it'd be nice if DAYS were to bring back a character viewers actually gave a damn about.

Exactly. FOX never tried developing a daytime soap (outside of TRIBES), because it would have been next to impossible to get the necessary clearances from their local affiliates. They were much better off developing animated shows for the kids coming home from school.

Agree. At the moment, there's nothing wrong with GH's production values. (The sets could be less generic-looking...but I could say that about most shows on television today). The pieces are there for a good show. GH just needs to trim the fat, cast-wise, and bring in a HW who knows how to write more gripping plots. (It says too much that the denouement to the Peter August saga is the most exciting thing to have happened on that show in years.) Oh, and Frank needs to stay the hell out of the writers' room, too.

Moderna needed to wait until a sufficient amount of "darkies" had died.

Which is long enough in Salem to come back from the dead at least three times and become a grandparent, too.
