Members adrianna17 Posted July 9, 2007 Members Share Posted July 9, 2007 I loved the Santo/Collen scenes it was so romantic and James and Ali were both very emmy nominated today. I am looking forward to the love story of these two its the best romance on the show and I always love historical romantic stories. Both of the accents from the two were divine. Everything for Santeen sl today sizzled what a great romantic sl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members heatherwebber Posted July 9, 2007 Members Share Posted July 9, 2007 Still an awful lot of annoying junk. Mostly involving fake Stephanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hops Posted July 9, 2007 Members Share Posted July 9, 2007 I totally agree with you. I enjoyed John and Marlena, Bo and Hope and Doug and Julie. They were so natural and there was just something about them that caught my attention. But it had nothing to do with the story. I hear we get a few more seconds of them tomorrow. I was okay with the accents....but the whole Colleen/Santos story......boring!!! I also agree that the the Cwickly & Brash feud story sounded like it could have been awesome...everyone had something of their own and secrets they knew or didn't know about.....this one..is there really any mystery? I don't feel any. The Beach kids do nothing for me. I don't have a problem with Chelsea, Nick...it's just their story another..zzzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted July 9, 2007 Members Share Posted July 9, 2007 I didn't find today's episode all that boring. I really liked the flashbacks, Ali and James were incredible and really convincing. Doug, Julie, John, Marlena, Bo, and Hope all reading the letters was a fans dream come true to me. Hogan is really trying to weave them into this storyline some way. I disliked the fact that they waited til the end of the episode for Nick to tell Chelsea that Kate was blackmailing him. These two have been a downer for me, I just don't understand what Hogan has against these two. Tomorrow looks good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClayZebra Posted July 9, 2007 Members Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well, I didn't care for the lecherous, porn-mustached, married man hitting on a nun, but I really enjoyed watching the Salemites enjoy the letter. It was wonderful to see these happily married couples-- Doug/Julie, John/Marlena, Bo/Hope, and Lucas/Sami-- just hanging out and relishing their time together. All four couples have overcome so much to be together, and here they are, united and happy even if Lumi are stuck in a safehouse. Lucas, I thought, was the only one who treated the icky content of the letter as it deserved. I adored his commentary today: "A quickie in the confessional?" "That's why the DiMeras are after the Bradys -- because of the great handkerchief rebellion. I got it now." "So because of some cheesy Italian accent, your great-aunt -- trampy great-aunt -- broke her vows?" "Why don't you just get to the part where the guy gets the girl in bed, okay?" "This is not some skin flick on late-night cable. This is a letter written by a woman devoted to God and her faith." "And a little Italian seasoning on the side." Go Lucas!

Members sema608 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I didn't see any of that from Lucas. He was Fat Bastard in my eyes. I think his IQ dropped a few points below the hammer. It's amazing but although BD toned down Lucas' vocal chords, the writing still made him look like an immature loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days4Life Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I don't think I've ever seen a character destroyed as quickly as Nick. What happened to quirky, sweet, fun Nick? He's such a downer right now and what's with pushing Chelsea to have sex in her dad's house with a bunch of people hanging around the back yard? He needs to get a grip, stand up to Kate, and get some therapy for his self-esteem issues. And lighten up! It's a testament to Chelsea's character growth over the last year that she hasn't dumped him yet. What's with Jett's pretend engagement? Is he covering something up? Is he the bad guy instead of Jeremy? And Stephanie made me mad today when Jeremy was slamming Steve, and she barely defended him. I would never let anyone talk about my dad that way. Loved seeing Bo and Hope and Doug and Julie. Marlena and John were okay, but I'm getting tired of them lustfully gazing into each other's eyes all the time. Give them something to do! Marlena's had some good stuff, but John has been sidelined for most of the Dimera stuff, which is very odd considering his past. Hated Lucas today. How old is he--twelve? And sorry if I've insulted any twelve year olds. Food and sex seem to be all he's interested in, and I'm bored with watching him. Santo and Colleen were okay. Obviously, this is just the beginning of the story and more will happen to explain the feud. There is a certain ick factor, though. An experienced married man and a young, innocent novice (LOL at Bo constantly correcting everyone who called Colleen a nun)--I'm not seeing the romance factor here, at least not yet. Ali did a pretty good job with the accent; better than James with the Italian accent, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IMissAremid Posted July 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 ICKY?!?! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. And Sema thank you so much for the fat bastard analogy. That is HILARIOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I just finished watching on SoapNet. While I thought it was an okay episode, I have to be honest. So far, I am thoroughly bored with this Dimera feud story. It's already nearing mid-July and I have yet to be fully engrossed in what is going on. If *this* is the big jubalooba story of the summer, then we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClayZebra Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yes, icky. A novice who is eager to throw away her vows to get it on with an older married man/father with a porno-mustache is icky to me. Lucas is right. It's stupid.

Members Euclid219 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Regarding the Colleen/Santos story, how high I grade it depends on what I am grading it on. As a historical romance, it is off to a solid start. It looks much better than the early days of Emily and Gideon did, and it is bringing some romance to show that currently has none. Lucas is anything but romantic, and much like Shawn, I can't help but wonder why the guy is still around. Write off their characters or recast, but give up on the idea that Dattilo or Beemer will ever make popular romantic leads. Now, as the underpinning for the Brady/DiMera feud, the story is much weaker. It is going to have to be shored up quite a bit to be sufficient justification for the decades of horror that the DiMeras unleashed on the Bradys.

Members adrianna17 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 I am not surprised Lumi fans wouldn't like these scenes LOL They prefer the white trash in bed eating fast food. Now thats must trash TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SIM236 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 Today was really boring. The Santo/Colleen scenes started off really corny and it was hard for me to take this whole s/l seriously. If this is what we're going to be getting the rest of the summer, well I better find another soap to watch. I did think that Ali did a good job with her accent knowing how busy her summer already is. Bo/Hope/Doug/Julie/John/Marlena were okay with the brief scenes they got. Sami/Lucas were acting like a typical couple. Cute and very real. Lucas was very funny today lol. Nick/Chelsea are slowly but surely being destroyed. Sigh. I had huge hopes for them. The rest of the teen scene sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted July 10, 2007 Members Share Posted July 10, 2007 No. Sami spending any more than a second with the man who raped her like it was another business deal and did it to knock her up with a child so the baby could save his father is trash TV.
