ITA!

But the problem is that people cannot tell if someone is being respectful or not. I have been accused of being disrespectful to many posters. Was it my intention to be disrespectful? Of course not. They took it that way. I think once people sign on to SON, they need to release any personal feelings they have in them while logged on. If not, it only ends up with people have their feelings hurt.

That place is notoriously negative, though, LoL.

Most boards either love it, or the opinion is mixed. That's pretty good, I think.

But yes, agreeing to disagree is what it should always come down to.

Oh, I agree. However, I do think tone of some posts needs to be watched too. People post things and sometimes they have a tone to them that another poster doesn't like and then things get heated. That is why I think people can't tell. I made a post last week about that. I think if people just choose their words carefully and watch the tone of their post there won't be a problem. People are never going to release their personal feelings, at least not most of them. The best way to go about keeping things respectful is to think before your post and watch the tone and word choice of the post. That is JMO.

Oh, and Andre, people can say someone is wrong. It's not like it's a mandate. It's their opinion and they believe that someone is wrong from their perspective. Doesn't mean they are belittleing someone or not accepting their opinion. They just disagree. I don't see what you are seeing here I suppose. It's all opinion and people believe that others are wrong. Simple as that.

I guess that's where we differ. I don't think people should say others are wrong. No one can be wrong if it's opinion; it's impossible. So, to me, the statement is belittling and means they don't accept your opinion.

I guess we just see it diffrently. Like I said, it's just people's way of saying they disagree. Perhaps they should say disagree instread of your wrong but whatever. Sometimes an opinion can be wrong though. There are some who will post about a show and haven't even watched it or watched like 5 minutes of it and then post an opinion that is completely off base and off the mark. Whatever the case, I don't think that anyone in here was belittling and not being accepting of opninions. However, if it everv turns heated or disrespectful, let me know or another mod know. That is when things get out of hand and it will be handled :)

Well, I thought yesterday's show was boring, and up until last week I was really enjoying DAYS. I said in the post about the latest ratings that the stories aren't bad per se, but they need to start really kicking into high gear. I don't mean nonstop action, but there has to be some plot movement, especially with Sami/Lucas/EJ/Kate and the on-the-run stuff.

I think JKJ is good as hardass, angry Philip, but a part of me thinks Kyle Brandt would have really shined here, like DFJ said. I guess it's because he had chemistry with Martha, Shawn, and especially Ava and Olivia, the twins who play Claire. I'm not seeing any real spark between JKJ and his castmates yet, save for John Aniston. I also think that Kyle would have looked better next to Annie Burgstrede, and if the show insists on keeping Willow Willblow (LOVE it Kenny) and possibly pairing her up with Philip, Kyle would have been the more suitable match.

It's really sad considering I have watched this show for 14 years and I am 23 so that's most of my life....but I think Hoagie is taking DAYS in a direction that just doesn't mesh very well with my tastes. I always thought I wanted a show with short arcs and traditional storylines, but now that these things are happening on DAYS, I am finding myself bored by the traditional things. Minus Tuesday, I haven't watched a full episode of the show in about three weeks. People seem to be liking the show so I am happy for it, but I don't know if I am going to stick with it much longer. I have felt like I wasn't going to stick it out before, but the majority of the DAYS fans hated it along with me so there was always hope for a writer change. But it's doing pretty good now, and like I said, I am happy for it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bored of my mind. It just doesn't seem like the show and I are a good fit anymore. Maybe if I didn't have to sit through the War in Iraq and JER's last year of crap, I've had more of a tolerance for sitting through it, but I just don't anymore.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
