I think you're missing the point. The issue isn't so much that its Dr. Bader (although it is a bit because she is likeable), but rather that it Sheffer's first week/month and he is already rewriting history (even if its a minor character). Its not a good foreboding of whats to come, especially given what some have posted about his history rewrites on ATWT.

How is he REWRITING history? I don't see him rewriting history at all since it has pretty much been accepted that Bo was going to end up being the father ANYWAY. And again, if you are refering to Dr.Bader's history being rewritten, well all I can say is that if that is the WORST thing that Hogan is going to do, is rewrite history for a NON-CHARACTER, not to mention a character that we have seen maybe 5 times in the last 2-3 years, than we might as well just get rid of him right NOW!

:rolleyes:

Seriously, people just try to pick at the SMALLEST thing possible. I mean this is going to completely eliminate probably one of the worst characters (and actors) on the canvas from polluting Bo & Hope's stories. I couldn't be MORE greatful to Hogan for getting rid of him!!

Now we just need Hogan to kill Patrick off so he can never come back...a Patrick murder mystery could be great...

suspects:

Bo- protect hope

Hope- because he switched the results

Shawn- protect hope

EJ- so he won't get discovered as the gloved hand

i'm sure there could be many others....

:blink: Sure, and slavery never existed because emancipation followed? :wacko:

Yes, if that was the WORST thing Hogan was going to do, then who cares. But how do you know this isn't the LEAST worst thing he will do? None of us know - we'll have to watch it play out. However, its not a good sign. Given that DAYS has been a crapfest for the majority of 1999 to about now (with a brief upswing from Brash & Cwikly), I think anybody is entitled to their fears, skepticism, caution and pickiness. After all the "Plans to fix DAYS", "New beginning for DAYS" etc., trust in this show to deliver has been worn down. That would explain why the viewers haven't returned in masses and the ratings remain flat. People aren't trying to pick the smallest thing possible, as you say. They're trying to be cautious so they don't get their hopes up again, only to be dissapointed yet again. They're looking for the warning signs - nobody said get rid of him - whats with the histrionics? And yes, while its Hogan Sheffer and not JERk, Langan, Hackley etc. writing, the show is still DAYS, and viewer faith in this franchise is low, and for good reason too. While you may be the eternal optimist, others remember the modified adage "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice (thrice, 4, 5,... 7 years!), shame on me!".

If you don't believe people are entitled to any of the above views, then this isn't even worth discussing further.

Besides, this is now being blown out of proportion.

Actually I was being facetious to illustrate the failure of logic in the other person's post, but apparently anything less pure literalism is missed...

Dr. Bader is Marlena's friend. She is the one she was pals with and the one she went to when she was pregnant with Roman's baby. I like her and think she deserves better than this and Marlena should be very sad if this writing is true to history. So, for that reason, I think the choice of implicating Dr. Bader was a thoughtless, careless and mean one unless as Ponz stated, she was threatened for her family and only that could be forgivable in my opinion.

I am with Mitch. It bugs me but it is not rewritten history. I am more annoyed at the fact that Hope is not farther along then she is based on Bo being the father. That is something that affects two main characters rather then a character that pops up for like 4 episodes a year if that taking a bribe from another character no one likes.

The Dr. Bader thing is nitpicking because it a minor issue at best. Bo being the father when him and Hope haven't had sex since like December is a bigger issue, not that time matters on Days. At least the last time Days had an out when Bo was a mime-there really isn't that out this time. I can't wait to read the Bope article to hear everything explained in detail.

Nonetheless, this all sounds great and let's just sit back and enjoy. I won't judge anything Hogan or Days does overall until we reach 6 months under the new regime. That will be a good benchmark to see how everything is really doing.

The fact that Dr. Bader and Marlena are friends is enough to care about her being implicated for convenience of a story. The glove could have served quite well and put the blame where most of the other things being manipulated are coming from. I don't think Dr. Bader would be anything like Eve, but if she is, guess she gets the bullet, too.

I can see why people are mad. I mean, she's a minor character, but she has been on for like....14 years?

It would be like if Lisa from the Pub started working for the Dimera's or something.

Very interesting, but what does Chelsea get busted for? I'm so happy Sami will get exposed and have that all out in the open and dealt with before Carrie and Austin leave and she cannot deceive Lucas and Will anymore on that point.

Wow...the good news keeps rolling in. I can't wait to see Sami get exposed. This must be the meaty material CC talked about.

Days is just rocking right now.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
