I can't believe that this show actually has characters being written with personalities and familial interactions once again and there are people actually COMPLAINING about it.

Just goes to show... you really can't please everyone.

Yeah. Some fans think that couples together are boring, and want more couple-based drama. Some fans think that couples together is wonderful, and want more character-based drama. Some like romance out the ass, others don't. You'll never win.

ITA agree with this article, I love Stefano and Victor but it's time to move on. I'm not saying backburn or fire vets, because they NEED t obe there, but a time to pass the torch must come. And now it has. Victor and Stefano have had there time....and they can still be involved in all this storyline with EJ wreaking havoc on the Brady's or the Claire story, but not as the leading villian. That needs to be Philip and EJ.

Hogan is right...they are old. Even though the title seems harsh, it does make valid points. John Aniston can't exactly do as much as he could twenty years ago. He is a fantastic actor, but he can't do what he once could. His voice is weaker....and was it true that he had a heartattack some odd months back? He definately doesn't need to be seeing any extreme action. Same can be said about Stefano.

I can't believe fans are whining about this. I understand they want to see vets do more than be supporting...and I am with you in a way. But to some, it could be risking a serious heart attack to have them attack someone in a brutal fight. Vets can still be used, and should. But they, whether you all like it or not, can't be what they once were.

I'm all for it.

But... I don't want to see the EXACT same stories with EJ/Sami that happened with Stefano/Marlena. More than an homage to history it'll be repetitious and lazy.

I've always liked Victor 100000x times more than Stefano. I'm excited about Phillip but don't care much for the EJ aspect.

I may be the only one but I actually LOVED the Billie/Nick stuff ... I thought it was very entertaining and funny!

Hogan rocks!!! Days has not been this good in a LONG, LONG time. I can't believe all the complaining ..... is it April fools day and I just don't know it?

LoL, you're right.

Days biggest problem is that it's like two different shows. Moreso than any other show on the air, it's had an identity crisis for the last nine years. In it's earlier years through the eighties, it was a traditional supercouple romance soap, drawing in soap purists. Then in the 90's, it became a more modernized, crazy, balls-to-the-wall, acid trip (in a good way) soap, drawing in a whole different generation of viewers looking for something different than the purists.

Ever since then, the show has had two totally different audience types watching the show, and when one is happy, the other is miserable, and vice versa. Quite literally, you cannot please everyone all at once with this soap opera. The audiences are far too contrasted against one another.

So you would rather have Philip being all boring like he's been... since forever? Give the guy a backbone.

EJ changed over night? So him knowing little details about Sami and him wanting to help her so much didn't seem suspicious to you at all? He was always there to "help her out" with a smugged expression on his face. Too annoying. Besides we already knew EJ was a bad guy and probably a DiMera pretty much from the beginning. So no surprise there.

LOL Billie and Nick. That was hilarious. I freakin enjoyed it just for what it was. :lol:

    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
