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 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!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
