DAYS needs to get its act together. It has had more than enough chances. I haven't watched a full episode in like 6 weeks, and I am starting to get pissed. And worried. I don't even feel like I am in withdrawal anymore.

You're right.

Too many filler scenes. The dialogue is nice, and it's good that the filler scenes are injected with different things to keep them interesting, but it's just not exciting. We need more high drama to balance the simple scenes.

They're definitely gonna have to amp it up a few notches if they want the ratings to rise.

I still watch everyday, but I am strating to get pissed as well King. For example, some action was on todays show but I wasn't really into the scenes. I can't put my finger on it but I just didn't care and I am worried because I am one of DAYS biggest fans and no matter what period on DAYS I have watched it through thick and thin. I loved December and the first half of January, but right now the show is just BORING. Yes the day to day writing is much better, there aren't constant trinagles, the acting as a whole is better, not I am not that interested in the show. There really isn't anyone scheming, there isn't any affairs, some stories aren't shown enough(Lexie and Tek just disappearing into thin air, no fallout with Abe or anyone who supposedly cared for Lexie, Bonnie and the sack of bones saga comes on once a week so when its on I really don't have any anticiaption at ALL and frankly don't care because the SL is barely on, not to mention the lack of airtime for some characters I really enjoy like Bo and Hope, Marlena, Victor hasn't been on much at all even though he should be considering he has been obsessed with getting Claire, and it would be nice to see Kate and Billie more often outside of their kids lives.) I could go on and on and Hogan has had more than enough time ti move some of these stories along. Is DAYS ever going to have a big event again, thats what thing that I could always depend on with DAYS but the last 2 years there havent been mnay BIG events. Plus not many people in Salem seem worried that Belle and Shawn are on the run, its rarely mentioned. To me it seems like some characters are getting back into their own little bubbles again. I really hate being so negative about the show right now because I really adore DAYS, but right now its a snoozefest. Do something Hogan!

I actually Like willow

what I really hate is how everybody at the brady family are thinking they are better then her because she is a hooker.umm,kimberly anyone? while AB might not be the best actress on the show,the character has a great potential and her craziness and 'who cares,I'm crazy' attitude are great IMO.

I agree that, for the first time since the Salem High days, I'm enjoying Shawn/Belle/Philip. And thanks to Hogan, Willow was added into the mix and it made everything that much better. Hogan knows these characters very well and he has given them such a great story. Fans just need to back off and accept that the tides are changing and Shawn, Belle and Philip are going to soon be the new leading characters of the show.

But that is what I have a problem with. Not because I really never liked Shelle together but because(and Keith feels this way too and has said this) of all the history with John, Bo, and the Brady's when they thought he was Roman. They thought he was him for years until it was re-written and still consider him a family member. I would take Shawn and Belle over Max and Chelsea, but it's just history that makes me not enjoy them(along with the fact they were so frontburner when they started to become Shelle)

As for Days it does need to step it up a little bit. And what I mean by that is end this on the run story because it is getting old. I am not saying every story needs to be as fast as snapping your fingers but I feel we could be seeing a little more of vets. And we have gotten to see Bo/Hope lately but not much more than before. Days tapes four weeks ahead right? That would mean they taped these past few weeks sometime in Janurary. That would possibly explain Drake's absence. Because in Janurary he had to deal with that crazy attacker and mabye wanted to spend some time with his family for a little while until they feel safe without him there while he is at work. Peter and Kristian could be getting a break too just because they were HEAVILY featured the past few months and even the past year. But I do think Hogan needs to do something new with the stories that are frontburner. I mainly am speaking of Shelle because the on the run story has been getting tiresome. Nick/Chelsea I am enjoying and I think from spoilers they have some good stuff coming. Steve/Kayla with John now kidnapped and the recent episode with John's kidney I think some good stuff could come for them and EJ as well because of this story.

I can't put my finger on it but I just didn't care and I am worried because I am one of DAYS biggest fans and no matter what period on DAYS I have watched it through thick and thin.

That's the boat I am in. I never thought I'd tune out for this long...EVER!!!!

But you visit mostly boards where DAYS is pretty popular, right?

Ratings and comments from fans I know IRL make me think that fans are not as pleased with Hoagie's DAYS as some onliners are. Some people do not want to see E.J. and think he is a newbie. Hell, some people feel that away about Chelsea and Abby. Sorry, but it's just a reality.

I'm one of those. I'm not pleased that EJ is back. I enjoyed him the first time around, but I'm really ready for him to be gone. I enjoy Abby, but I don't see any appeal in Chelsea. As far as I'm concerned, Hogan's DAYS is terrible.

I love you xDaysAddict! :D

Did you happen to see me propping your custom made DAYS openings. I'd love if you would create me one for my blog.

Ok, Connor is gone. Jed and Benji are recurring.

As for BB, he wins like every fan poll in SOD every week and most fans have already gotten used to him. The only people not liking him are the rabid Jason Cook fans. EJ is not new. Guy has been here since May. He is well past newbie and he has actually been pretty well-accepted. Nick already has a HUGE fanbase. The only character that people are mad about being shoved in their faces is Willow. That's it.

Well, obviously that isn't true, or else people would only be complaining about Willow. Explaining the reasons why you think someone isn't a "newbie" isn't going to change other people's opinions, online fans or offline fans.

How do you know it's not true?

How many Days boards do you frequent? How many people do you talk to about Days?

I am not trying to convince everyone of anything. Just stating my view that is based on what I observed. Doesn't mean you have seen the same opinions or that you think the same.

I am just going to stop commenting in this thread and agree to disagree.

Apparently not enough. If only I had so much free time to waste.

IA with what you said. I've been saying it for weeks and pretty much echo your feelings, along with King's. I never thought I would feel this disheartened with DAYS, I have no drive to watch it.

And it is not because of the Big 4. People keep mentioning that. Outside of their lack of storyline, there is not anything going on on DAYS! There has been storyline hault, lack of progress of storylines and A LOT of stalling and going around in circles. Storylines went out the window and FAST. DAYS LOST all of its momentum. OLTL and GH took their momentum with one storyline and allowed it to progress into others. December's who shot John storyline could have become something BIG, WITHOUT Drake (since the excuse here is that Drake had "personal problems"), Drake wasn't even needed for this to become an explosive search for EJ, the person that shot him and the aftermath of his being an invalid. No one has even reacted to it. Shawn and Caroline haven't even visited John. Everyone has acted like nothing has happened. And EJ's storyline, which was explosive has now become boring. This WAS an Umbrella storyline spanning involvement in many of the show's CORE characters and now it has once again simmered down to Sami and Steve. Boring...

And Nick may have an online fanbase, but it is not translating into viewers for the show. THAT is what mattered. The ratings have not rose and I am not a fan of him, at least not in this over blown state. I hate it when new writers introduce their characters and make them instant heroes and instant front burner characters. Hogan has been doing this with Nick since day one (him being the reason Steve and Kayla found a cure, GAG). There may be a lot of fans for him but they are not translating into support for this show and they shouldn't be. He shouldn't be on so much. He is a Horton by distant lineage and old and new viewers can't even acknowledge that since he just landed on the show and said he was Maggie's newphew or something. If the show wanted to establish this and make old viewers accept him more they should have had his parents come with him for a few episodes. GH does this all the time and it works. Willow is on a lot, no matter how you put it and it is obvious that the show is trying to make her something bigger than she is. These are two new characters that have been her for a while and have replaced airtime for familiar faces that could be written for (and I'm NOT talking about the big 4).

I really thik I would LOVE Willow if they recasted the charcter with someone like Jessica Morris.

While DAYS isn't super-duper exciting right now, I am surprised so many people have given up on it. After Langan, Dena and JER, NOW it's too much to take? I don't get it. But that is just me. Everyday is watchable and real for me; I guess the show has become a different kind of soap that its current fans aren't used to.

A lot of DAYS current fans came in during the 90s where Reilly excelled and DAYS was can't miss television. The outrageous plots, the classic love stories, the action, that was what current DAYS fans loved. It's what brought them in. Hogan has come in and taken the show back to 70s where true character development is the drama. There aren't outside forces creating the drama anymore. He's turned the show into a real soap opera, not the parody that we've been watching for the past 15 yars.

Yeah. And it's boring. And boring is boring.
