42. Having so many characters who have been around forever. Many of them aren't the same people they used to be, but they still have the same connections, family, and in some cases, mannerisms. I'm talking Paul, Craig, Dusty, Emily, etc. Annoying sons (and daughter) of [!@#$%^&*]es, but their OUR annoying sons (and daughter) of [!@#$%^&*]es. And in Emily's case, she really IS the daughter of a [!@#$%^&*]!

43. I absolutely heart it when we get sponsor tags...it takes me back to the 90s. "AS THE WORLD TURNS is sponsored by...Spray and Wash!" or "Tomorrow on AS THE WORLD TURNS, sponosored by Simon and Schuster..."

44. Lucinda, Tom, and Margo are MAJOR parts of MAJOR storylines. Just a month ago, that was barely true.

45. All of the teens are connected to long-standing characters. Casey is a Hughes; Will is Barbara's son; Gwen is Carly's sister; Adam is Margo and Hal's son; Luke is Lily's son; Jade is Lily's niece.

46. The guys aren't constantly strutting around half-naked for no reason. When we do get to see Casey or Will or Adam or Dusty or someone shirtless (or better yet, toweled), it is an EVENT and is something not to miss!

48. Colleen Zenk Pinter, one hell of an actress. The day Doug Marland unleashed her inner [!@#$%^&*] was a great day in soap history.

49. James Stenbeck. Arguably the BEST villian ever. (Minus Hogan's tinkering.)

50. Oh, by the way....Hogan's gone too.

51. The odds are against Austin Peck surviving six months. There's something about those beady eyes that grosses me out.

53. They wasted no time in dropping Mike's picture from the opening. Yes, it's selfish...but hey...LOL.

54. JP is arguably a sick, twisted, motherf---er, who enjoys screwing over the fans by destroying the characters. But at least she spreads it around. Just when I thought Carly couldn't be redeemed, JP went out of her way to make Emily enjoy being a hooker.

55. Goutman pushes the envelope. They don't always work, but he's always trying something.

56. They finally got rid of those idiotic half-time previews. 'Tho I think that's probably some money thing.

*lol* I like the sing-songy PGP logo flash too.

    • "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.

    • 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.)
