Ugh. DAYS is back to sucking again.

- Nick sucks.

- Willow sucks.

- This EJ story is the same as when I last watched three weeks ago!

- EJ is still so powerful and all knowing. It automatically makes him a bad villain. It's like Alistair. It's stupid.

- Darrin Brooks is even starting to annoy me.

The only good thing about today's was Celeste.

This show is in legitimate trouble. These changes cannot come fast enough.

I watched like the last 20 minutes today, first time I have even tuned into DAYS at all. It's not all that bad, it seems like alot of focus on young adults though. Though this Nick character looks to be interesting. EJ looks alot older than I would have thought by reading different posts here, Sami and Lucas if they are a couple look like a boring couple, though I only saw alittle bit, so they might be more interesting than they seemed. I really liked Max I think it was and the girl with half her clothes off(don't remember her name) they seemed interesting.

I'm glad you're starting to watch, Clint. The girl with Max is Chelsea. Believe it or not, Chelsea is Max's adopted niece, lol :lol:

Sami and Lucas are a boring couple. They used to be so good back in the day, but after the 358932596th getting back together storyline, they lost it for me. If you're familiar with B&B, Sami and Lucas are the Ridge and Brooke of Salem. :angry: It gets old!

LOL! about the adopted niece thing, though I am getting used to the incest on the soaps anymore, sort of like how Holden is Lily's uncle on ATWT. Yup very familiar with Brooke and Ridge, you are right after about the 3rd time getting back together these couples all get boring.

I will probably even tune in tomorrow to see if I can get into it more, Y&R and B&B are snoreville for me right now, so it is worth checking into another soap for a while, plus I can always check out Y&R on soapnet if I have too and vice verse with DAYS. B&B I could careless if I miss, lol.

And yes I just made a bad comment about Y&R :lol: shocking I know.

I actually got a few laughs out of todays show. Loved when Max asked Chelsea about her Baby hooker look. :lol:

Kate seemed oh so thrilled with EJ's love life. I liked when she said at the beginning "Oh, it's a drinking game" and her being nauseated by EJ's new attitude about love and that he never goes anywhere without three alterior motives (something like that). EJ then spelling out the annagram to Kate, goodness knows I am surprised she didn't get to the internet and firgure out who Brandy Mathas was right then and there.

And, you mean to tell me that Celeste and Sami would have that conversation with Will in the other room, head phones or not, who's to say that he wouldn't have overheard anything. He was right in calling his mom out too about spending so much time with EJ.

I actually like Willow when they do not have her in all of that make-up and her hair done. She looked really good.

I liked todays show. Sure, it wasn't the best I have seen, but I thought it was good.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm ready to see more cast interaction and stories involving more than 3 or 4 characters. And if all the rumors about cast additons/returns come true, we're going to have a big enough cast that they are going to have to do some kind of umbrella storyline in order to use the vets (as promised by Corday) and the new additions as well.

I like the small cast episodes...it allows for character development and interaction but I can see the other side of it too as sometimes they can be boring. Today I didn't think was.

I enjoyed the EJ/Kate/Lucas scenes. I like how it seems Hogan is turning Kate into a drunk. She reminds me of Nicole lately. I like the snark between the three of them too. Liked that scene at the end with EJ reminding Sami and saying "Tick, tock."

Sami/Celeste was good and I am liking Will lately. I liked his fight with Sami and Will calling her out. Gerse wasn't bad. Sami looked gorgeous and, for the first time in months, I feel that the writing is building momentum for a big event with the Sami/EJ stuff. The music and just the overall feel is really building alot of tension so kudos to Hogan and Days on that.

Didn't care for the Chelsea/Max stuff. It's a regression and I see why they are doing it for Chelsea's character but I never cared for them together. I am glad that it seems to be just her out for revenge. I did like Max's line about the baby hooker look and Darin and Rachel did a good job with the scenes.

Willow/Nick was alright but felt like filler. This hairbrush stuff is starting to bore me. I was happy to see Roman appear out of nowhere. Those previews tomarrow with him and Willow were...interesting :lol: .

Ok show though. Been an ok week so far but I can feel the Sami/EJ stuff building to big things so I can't wait.

I can't comment on much today because I didn't see much. The first half was pre-empted and then I got a phone call that took up much of the second half. It seemed Willow was using her hooker wiles on Nick regarding that darned hairbrush.

Why is Willow in the hospital?

(Edited because I realized referencing preview info for tomorrow could be considered a spoiler--sorry!)

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
