The character of Phillip is much more interesting than before.

The actor playing him... hell no. I want Greg Rikaart!

I loved todays show...it was much better than last weeks episodes...Jay and Martha rocked, great confrontation scenes...Also i'm so happy that they pulled the wool over phillip...It was also nice seeing chelsea and shawn bond..and i was happy that Nick's watch was brought up again...kudos to the writers for remembering that Nick had an expensive watch from his parents that he could pawn...

Stephen, Mary Beth, and James also did a great job in this episode..I loved the scene with EJ banging the knife on the table, it was just cool to see Steve get progressly crazier..And the end was pretty shocking, i didn't see that coming..

A big hell no that one! I cannot see Greg Rikaart playing Philip Kiriakis. No way. Jay is the only Philly K. to me.

Oh, I've just come up with a great new last name for Willow (cause, y'know... Stark sucks).

Willow Willblow!

I don't think I have disagreed with you MORE on something DAYS related than this.

You are so wrong about Jay, imo, the "screaming every line" is needed to get the point across imo. Philip is P.I.S.S.E.D and Jay is definetly displaying that in his acting.

And sometimes, screaming is great for a display of anger. But... Phillip would be so much more creepy if he was really quiet and seemingly calm, while bubbling over.

When Jay screams, I cringe. It rarely fitys. But those sayign he screams every line are overreacting; yes, he screams more than he doesn't, but there's hope. He has moments where he gets quiet - just like Linn described - we need more of it.

Today's episode is really, really bad. Wow. It is almost embarassing. I had such high hopes for this sweeps to not suck like the last one.

Are you joking or serious? its always hard to tell with you...

Did anyone expect the Steve and EJ fight, and then them going through the window at the end? Maybe I've been doing a good job of staying away from spoilers, but there also doesn't really seem to be that many lately about Days. I enjoyed the show as well. MM is my new favorite actress, and she was phenominal today. I'm glad to see that Steve and Kayla are on again tomorrow. Maybe we will have better balance this week.

Um, serious.

The dialogue, especially in the first half, was ridiculous and void of any life. Sami's stupid speech, explaining again about lifting the damn beam, is tired. How many times to we have to hear Alison snivle out that same. boring. story? And it is not good TV. Sami should know better. Lifting a beam isn't good television.

JKJ, yet again, shows why he needed to come back to daytime. His "oooh, look at me, I'm angry" routine is getting old. And Martha could barely support the material she was given today. This kidnapping storyline is getting seriously silly. Why is Phil after Claire? It doesn't make sense. Also, Chelsea being redeemed in Shawn's eyes was beyond dumb, especially the lines. Bad. Bad dialogue.

Overacting 101 with Stephen Nichols is now is session. Too bad I had to watch it. Uhg. And I didn't get the ending: was that a flashback? Why was it with those effects? Why couldn't we see it happen in normal time?

Annie B. needs to get off my screen yesterday. She looks funny and her acting is even worse.

I had something to cringe about in nearly every segment.

It sucked. Royally.

....IMO.

THANK YOU. Nobody answered my question before, but I just didn't get it either :blink:

I loved the ending. It showed the rage Steve was going through. It really did happen. Steve ran back inside and attacked EJ, sending them both out the window. LOVED IT!

He is after Claire because he thinks of her as his. He raised her and thought of her as his for more then a year. That and he wants revenge for being betrayed. He felt betrayed and hurt by Chloe and it happened all over again with Belle. He also lost his leg, face, and nearly his life. It's all logical.

As for the rest, it's almost as if we are watching two different shows but that is ok. Everyone sees things different. I will just have to disagree.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did reveal Austin's shooter...about a year and a half later.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
