Administrator Toups Posted September 7, 2006 Administrator Share Posted September 7, 2006 Everyone, don't listen to him!! Watch the videos. It's rare that we get to SEE writers talk about soaps; we only see them during acceptance speeches at the Emmys. It's also great to see a little bit of his personality. I wish more writers would do video interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KBT Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Toups already beat me to this, JER is just as arrogant in his interviews. Wake up! You are so biased your comments are laughable. People are going to watch, only JSF and Rion are the ones against them and we all know they have different tastes.

Members King Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Oh. My. God. Sorry, but Passions won't even be beating Dora the Explorer in the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 I can say that even as a Passions fan. I am telling you if I didn't know any better I would think RionPassions is JER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 My God, Kirk and Toups, honestly, why promote watching the vids and Kirk, why lump me with Rion? I definitely don't wish "Days" ill will and I certainly can recognize Pash's weaknesses (though I still love it). All I'm saying is, YES, it's great to watch a head writer talking about their show. And I agree with Toups, it's VERY rare, so yeah, that's the 'cool' factor. But let's face it, if you're pressed for time, on a deadline or ready to go to bed, why watch what, 16 minutes of interviews for information you already learned in the SOD interview? All that's different are the interviewer's annoying overlapping; her blatant soap biases (not very good for a journalist to show her biases!!); and a few throaway lines. Again, for those who have already read the SOD interview and want to save time in their lives, maybe tuck the kids in bed for a change, make love with their spouse or do OTHER constructive things in life, now would be a good time to do it. I mean, it's about 16 minutes, people! Please, think about that~!!!!!!! Make the most of your lives! Be good to your children!!!@ DO you know any better, Phoenix? I mean, are you Rion's relative, friend, lover? If not, then Rion very well could be JER. And we all know writers, producers and actor read this board. I have no doubt that JER, especially with how much of a couch potato he clearly is, reads this board. (And don't worry Ri, if you are JER, I don't mind your size, I'm just saying -- and I LOVE ya by the way!!). But I digress, Ri very well could be JER. Especially with the nonstop Pash praise and this almost irrational hatred of "Days of Our Lives," arguably THE best soap on the air right now.

Members Sweetness Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wow I got just the opposite impression. I love how humble he seemed and how appreciative of the fans he is...and how much good sense he has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponz Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 There's more chance of Brooke Logan becoming celibate than there is of Passions EVER beating DAYS in the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jadestar Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hogan is going to make Days great again while JER will continue to claim Passions' well-deserved last place in the ratings. I'm looking forward to what Hogan has in store for Days and all the characters. After having tuned out of Days during JER's run there, I'm back to watching Days every day now.

Members Pest Spray Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Not true. If you're a John & Marlena fan, DEFIENTLY go watch. You'll feel so much better. Sweetness, I agree. He came off as very respectful and someone who has a great passion for what he does and like he really wants to do well for this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bree Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 You know, I don't think JER is the worst soap writer out there---I enjoyed his stuff more than Langan and Higley, who actually caused me to tune out. The problem with him is that he has great execution but shitty followthrough. Sometimes I believe he runs out ideas and pulls them out of his ass. The beginning of the SSK and Captive Island was not miss. It was the end, and the Castle crap that stunk. DAYS needed a change. If it's EVER going to get respect from the industry and other soap fans, it needed to dump JER and his obsession with over-the-top villians and convoluted supernatural fantasies. A little camp now and then is good, but not all the time. As far as Passions surpassing DAYS in the ratings, fat chance. Another network could show me playing a rubber band between my toes and singing "You Are My Sunshine," and that would get higher ratings than Passions.

Members irish secra Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 Such a great guy with wonderful ideas. Please please bring back Matt as Jack soon. Hogie could do wonders with him on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ilovemydays Posted September 7, 2006 Members Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'll admit it, I like Passions but I think I would LOVE it if I was watching it WASTED! Maybe the show should send a little something out to it's audience so we could give it a try. It might be what we need to become addicted to the show. Since that isn't going to happen I hope that JER ability to now focus 100% of his efforts towards redeaming Passions and I hope that it's ratings start to improve. A stronger follow up for Days would only help to Days by solidifing NBC's daytime lineup. I just want to see Days at #2 and breathing down Y&R's neck.
