No sh!t! If he could give Willow a strong personality and let her network out in various stories as quickly as he did, he sure as hell could've done it with Phillip. Thus far, he hasn't... and five months is more than enough time to have done so.

Go watch Y&R. It takes that show, sometimes, a whole year to develop a character. Not so much anymore. But that's why they were so successful in the past year. They're realistic. No real person devleops in a freaking month. It takes time. All of this, searching the entire world for Claire, having his daughter ripped from his hands, seeing the depth Shawn and Belle will go to keep their daughter, I think it's going to pay off in the end.

Because fans complain. That's why. Back in the late part of 2006, I saw several posts about fans complaining that SHELLE were no longer front-burner. They wanted to see more of Martha and Brandon. That was not so much done on the SON site because we are a well-rounded board, but on other sites, they want to see their favorite couples. When they're not seen, complaints emerge.

Well, let's also remember Corday dipped his fingers i nthe cookie jar and made Hogan abandon his original plans. Perhaps Philip got caught in the shuffle.

Yes, Days needs to get things done now but Philip is a character that is undergoing a transformation during a time where the show has been changing gears repeatedly. That does take time and just because a show's ratings suck and they may go off in a few years doesn't mean you throw caution and good, solid character writing to the wind just to make things better faster or to make things more interesting in the here and now. Yes, the character is annoying right now but the story has been going on for so long that the story has become annoying.

I think we all know the show has no time to mess around but it still has time to write character development. If people disagree, then maybe some should be petition for JER or Langan to return.

We partically beg for the vets, yet they don't give us them! They gave us SHELLE because they "think" that is what we want. To be honest soap execs are so far out of touch with their fans it's sad, not only at DAYS but across the boards.

I do watch Y&R.

If Hogan decides to write something decent for Phillip three months down the road, I'll be happy. If Hogan decides to really dive into Phillip's psyche and use him as more than a prop for Shelle, I'll be happy. Until then, I'm bored. And I've been bored with him for the last four months. And just because Hogan might decide to wake up and do something interesting with the character down the road sometime, it doesn't mean I was wrong for thinking that everything written before it was boring dreck -- because IMO, it WAS, and it IS.

And I hope you're happy in the end. If not, oh well, sorry that you spent the next however many years, being displeased.

I, on the other hand, will continue to watch a show that I've been disappointed to call myself a fan of for the past 4 years, and have finally been pleased day in and day out. :D

In regards to that yes they listen. They listen to that because they can say this couple is popular with the demographic and sell ads during their time slot. When it comes to wanting a story, an honest to God story for Maggie: "Mickey's Death" or "Cancer" or on ONE LIFE: "A Story for Viki" or GL: "No More Jeffery" they don't listen!

They listen and give when it is convient (sp?) for them! Back in 2003 I think it was an online petition went around after Eileen Fulton gave her SOW interview and it did nothing for her character! I'm just saying!

That's because Eileen Fulton was being a bitch and going to the mags to dis the writer. If I was a writer, I wouldn't have written for her either. According to her, Hogan didn't write for vets. I seem to recall reading about him writing for Kim, Bob, Susan, Tom, Margo, Barbara, etc. Just because Lisa didn't get a storyline, he gets critisized for not writing for vets? Please!

Doubtful! The thing is the new generation of soap viewers haven't been taught to respect and cherish the greats that made DAYS a long running soap! Or any soap for that matter...

      And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      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!
