Kenny, i feel the same way about Chelsea..she's currently my favorite character as well, tied with Sami though......And its because Rachel Melvin just lights up the screen when she's on...also hogan has done wonders for her character and has actually let her mature a little...She's not trying to reunite her parents anymore, and is actually doing something to help other people..

Okay, here is a prime case in point. This episode was OK but there are several things to be said here.

There were only 3-4 FAMILIAR FACES in this show. Kate, Lucas, Sami and Belle.

Then you have nuPhillip, nuShawn, Nick, Willow, EJ and Chelsea who has up until now been a character made to hate! There is a problem with this. Where is the familiarity?? How are viewers suppose to connect with these shows?? I can't stand Nick. I know he has fans here but him being a Horton means nothing. He has no historical presence on this show and he was introduced with his family members either (at least GH does that usually when they are going to introduce a teen from a family). Him being a Horton is just like saying the 1999 teen invasion was fine because all of those teens were core family members. Though, I do agree that is not as close to being as bad as that was.

Nick is all over the place and I hate it when writers introduce new characters and make them instant heroes (which Nick has been since day one seeing as though he found the cure for Steve and Kayla). It shows that a writer has favoritism towards his creations and Hogan is clearly threading those waters. IA Nick is not that bad but he's all over the place and he is a TEEN. This show revolved all around these new faces, or relatively new faces. If someone was to say, wow DAYS is so good now you should really watch and that person decided to watch this episode, what would they see? New characters. Stupid special effects. Oh yeah, and EJ who is Susan Banks kid from 10 years ago.. what he's 30 already??

It's bologna. And Nick and Chelsea are being shoved down our throats. Maybe some are enjoying seeing their romance build but I'm not and it shouldn't be taking up a lot of airtime either. Abby has more historical relevance than Nick and she has been on the show for years, yet, she has become second fiddle to Nick, just like she was to Chelsea when Chelsea first came on. If he should be writing for a Horton teen it should be Abby.

And this Phillip thing blows chunks as well. It is dumb that he is chasing after a child when he has a child that is biologically his that is going to be born soon and he doesn't care about it. It makes no sense. I can understand that he is attached to Claire but they should at least address the surrogate issue.

And tomorrow's episode doesn't look that much better either.

Is Nick a teen? I thought he was in his early 20s.

Chelsea is eighteen. Granted, she has a teen behind her age, but she is legally an adult. The same with Abby. So I don't consider them kids.

And despite Nick being a creation of Hogan, he still is a Horton. Chelsea is a Brady/Kirakis. Abby is a Horton. It's not like SSM & Langan's era when unconnected teens like Chloe, Jan, Susan, Kevin, and Mimi were taking over the show. They have ties to the two main families. And unlike the other characters seven years ago, the writing is better, the actors are better, and the stories are better. Yes, it is frustrating when newbies and certain characters take over the show, but better the next generation of core families than unconnected newcomers.

Philip not going after his biological child IS dumb though. I hope the writers will bring back the surrogate on and Philip has a change of heart and seeks custody of the baby. These characters need to start going after things and people they can actually have.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
