Maybe not kill them off. But at least do something to liven up their story. The show just needs to do something...Something BIG. Something no one is going to expect.

And I have to DA about Vanessa's character. While I think she is a great actress, the role just isn't great. They're not giving her anything to do. We're on what...episode 17 of the season, and she's yet to have any substantial story. I think they missed a big opportunity with her.

Overall, I think this season is good. But this story with Renee isn't working. Unless they're going to go all out and let Renee/Todd have a secret baby, I don't really see the point in the character. Not to mention this Susan story is pretty bad. I mean I feel sorry for her, but the fact that she is removed from the Lane makes me care less. And after last night's episode, most of my sympathy is gone.

The Paul return has been OK. Not great, but OK. It's provided some interesting ups and downs, I suppose.

The show just hasn't been the same since Season 5. That was the last season that I truly thought kept me on the edge of my seat.

The show hit a 6.5 rating and 10.4 million viewers.....not very good if you ask me considering there was no awards/stiff competition last night. CSI NY which airs on deadly Friday night has the same numbers and Blue Bloods has better ratings on Friday than DH has on Sunday. I'm sure it will be back next season but I wonder about Brothers & Sisters which had only a 4.7 rating.

Well, Beth is officially crazy.

I did enjoy this storyline, but I have to say....I think they could have brought Felicia back in a better way. I really always wanted to see HER revenge on Paul. Not her acting through her puppet daughter.

But, the storyline was pretty good.

Susan is on my last nerve.

I knew she was going to kill herself in the hospital once she kept harping to the nurse to make sure her organs went to Susan.

Tonight's show was the best one in a long time.

I actually enjoyed it.

Oh and James Denton looked hot shirtless.:wub:

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
