As the world turns doesn't deserve to be #1 as far as quality goes. The last half of the year was awful. Once again Simon is used as a prop. He and Carly wern't all that hot, the triangle was a total mess. They totally forgot Jennifer's death, that should have gotten mention because that was one of the most saddest moments in daytime last year and the show written at its best and IMO, the show hasn't been that well written since that point.

How can they be right about EVERYTHING on the list (in regards to Days) and so wrong about Brandon Beemer?

He's lightyears ahead of Jason Cook!

I'm so sick of the teeny-bopper fans that Days lured in from 1999 - 2001 acting like Jason Cook and Kirsten Storms were the sh!t. They SUCKED. The only thing that makes them still 'look good' is that retrospect is always rosier than the actual occurance. When the Princess Gina mess was happening on Days, fans HATED it. Now, years later, all I hear is people talking about how great it was. Same for the teen scene.

"There will never be a better Shawn than Jason Cook." WHAAAT? Jason Cook was a mishap -- a mistake. He couldn't force a tear if someone drenched his ass in gasoline and lit a match. I'd rather the scrumptiously cute Colin O'Donnell come back as Shawn before they ever let Jason Cook near the show again. Of course, I'm thrilled with the current casting of Brandon Beemer. He's a gem, such a find!

"There will never be a better Belle than Kirsten Storms." WHAAAT? People say (on other boards) that her Belle was 'fun.' That's just it. She had no depth. She was cutesy-wootsy 'fun' and that was all. She couldn't play drama, she couldn't play heroine. Just mousy. She would be the world's biggest failure as a grownup Belle. Thank God for Martha Madison... who, IMO, is the best actress in daytime right now.

I've been quite wowed with the Days casting department over the last five years. The show that used to cast for looks alone is really going with which actor/actress suits the character best... and I just wanna hug them for it.

They did have storyline in 2006 though and the 2006 stuff was more substantial (and sucked more) than the bitty bit of stuff they got in 2005. When this list would come out last year there wasn't enough time to evaluate their return. Now we can though. I think the 2005/06 thing with C&A's return is just a technicality.

When I do a Google search for TVFO - TV Fans Online comes up. So I guess that is it.

I think alot of these are right.

As to Brandon Beemer, as I said last night in the Random Thoughts thread - I love Brandon Beemer but my teenage daughters don't. They can't stand him at all. I think he is world's better than Jason Cook but they think he is terrible. But they hated Kirsten Storms as Belle and prefer Martha Madison.

My youngest daughter gets up and leaves the room when Beemer comes on. He is a mixed bag for most I think. I look around on other boards and just as many of us that like there is an equal number out there who can't stand him.

And as to the Spike name I have never liked it. I don't like it for a name on Passions and can't stand it for a Baby Name either.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • 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.
