That's why I'd love to know what, if anything, PFS had planned for Sharon. Because, from what I have read, I couldn't begin to guess where she might've been going with that character.

I still say they're intentionally making Devon look bad in this story so it'll be easier to write him out.

Beverly Archer was such a great addition to the show.

Between the Sharon Duval story and the David/Valerie story, not to mention the surrogate story w/ Doug, Pat Falken Smith was really trying to push the envelope. It's just a shame TPTB panicked and cut it all short.

Besides, it's DAYS. Chances are, Summer will return one day, wearing a Sarah mask.

Do they really have to make poor Nancy look like Elton John on a bad night?

He also played Vanessa Huxtable's science teacher who refused to let her have more time to work on her pitiful science fair project on "The Cosby Show."

EJ's trial needs a big, honking plot twist that no one saw coming. Even if it's really Alan Harris masquerading as EJ, it's still something.

I wonder what her original plans for the storyline had been. Did she intend for Sharon to be an unlikely spoiler in Doug and Julie's relationship? Was Sharon eventually going to find love with another Salem resident?

Did they really need the devil for Johnny to turn into another, power-hungry DiMera?

It's always sad when you go into a new storyline KNOWING it's going to suck.

In a way, seeing how awful Joss really is breaks my heart, because his dad, Tom Whedon, happens to be one of my all-time favorite sitcom writers. The elder Whedon's work was always so smart, regardless of the shows he was working on. But now I have to wonder wtf did he do to his son for him to turn out like that.

I hope it wasn't Paul Lammers. He was the best director that show ever had.

Every time I think about Bo and Hope, and the years of truly wretched writing this show threw at them, it makes me want to cry.

I'm convinced Sinema is a ringer.

Next to Y&R, all the other soaps looked like [!@#$%^&*].

Frankly, it'd be more shocking if Nancy were the one to come out.

Definitely agree. I could see it being revived on Disney+ or Hulu, with each season (consisting of, say, 10-12 episodes) being devoted to one major storyline with several subplots bubbling under. As for the other shows... I think ATWT, DAYS and GL had a relatively easy time modernizing their shows for the '70's. By the early '80's, though, ATWT and DAYS were stumbling. OLTL didn't have to worry about modernizing itself since it hadn't been on that long. But it's a good thing Judith Light came along when she did, because there did seem to be a creative malaise settling in. AW, TD and SFT actually did okay with updating themselves, too, but there was too much instability behind-the-scenes to make it all last. And, of course, we all know about what happened to GH when Gloria Monty took it over.

Once again, EON had the advantage of being non-traditional. Their crime-centric stories worked in any era.

It seems once Pat Falken Smith quit/was fired/whatever, DAYS turned to [!@#$%^&*] rather quickly.

I voted for LOL. From what I have read, they tried mightily to modernize; however, their core audience, who had followed the show since its' premiere, resisted all the way.

Shots fired, Joe, lol!

I really don't know how Joss thought agreeing to that interview would help rehab his reputation. He should just go count his money and stay away.

Person 1: Black don't crack! Person 2: That's a stereotype! Person 3: It's also true!

They could kill off the crumb-snatcher and I really wouldn't give a damn.
