Days: What does everyone have against the Teens?


Recommended Posts

If Shelley and Rachel are the next Angelina, then the world is in big trouble.

That's like comparing Dr. Rebert to Brad Pitt.

And not everyone has to like Steph and Chelsea. Its called opinion. And believe it or not, people may have ones that differ from yours.

Its called respecting peoples likes and dislikes. Don't take it personal.

No one is bashing ok.

There's a difference between criticizing and bashing an actor ok.

You have the right to believe Shelley & Rachel are the next Angelina Jolie, just like others have the right to believe DAYS will be the highlight of their career ok.

Do you understand what I'm saying ok?

I hope I won't have to repeat myself ok?

I really don't feel like having to ban someone tonight ok.

Ok?

OK.....<_<

The way I see it DAYS has botched it's focus in recent years. Alison Sweeney is NOT a lead actress yet and the Teen mess is also NOT getting people watching (the ratings and demos have bottomed out). DAYS needs to get back to Deidre Hall, Kristian Alfonso, Peter Reckell, Renee Jones, James Reynolds, Lauren Koslow, Suzanne Rogers, John Aniston, Thaao Penghilis and Leann Hunley (people with history who can actually act!)

I too think that the sorority storyline could work well...but it has to be a low level 'C' storyline. It simply will not hold the interest of the viewer if it's on a lot because it is based around characters who haven't even been properly developed.

I like Rachel Melvin, I think she has a little something special and she could go places. She doesn't wreck the scenes she shares with Kristian Alfonso or Peter Reckell (she's actually quite nice) and she has nice chemistry with Lauren Koslow.

I also like Darin Brooks...he too has a bit of pizazz and energy. He's pretty good.

Shelley Hennig on the other hand...a sub par actress, she's been on long enough to have worked out her kinks and yet, nothing. I think she's pretty flat with Stephen Nichols...but then I'm not really a fan of his so I'm totally biased.

oh yea she should be a lead actress. she been on days for 15 years and she should be the lead actress. ALLISON SWEENEY IS THE BEST ACTRESS IN DAYTIME HANDS DOWN.

whatever thats your Opinion but i think she is a wonderful actress and has great father/daughter chemistry with my main man stephan Nichols. Sorry but i disagree with you.

With respect, obviously it is my opinion. And you needn't be sorry, it's a discussion board so of course we're going to have conflicting opinions.

And if you think Alison Sweeney (who don't get me wrong, I love her!) is the best actress in daytime...I guess you haven't seen people like Jess Walton, Robin Strasser or Erica Slezak?

So wait not only do you want the teens on more, you want more Sami and EJ(is that even possible). There is no balance if you do this, and that is what most people want is more balance. That is part of the problem for me with the teens there wasn't enough balance when they were on.

MY OPINION, she is the best actress on 2007 hands down. She better get a emmy nom for her dual role of colleen brady. she did such a great job with the accent and the material.

i know this is alittle off topic but noone is a better actress in television or movies then Sophia Bush who plays brooke davis on one tree hill. She is just amazing.

she would so blow Erica SLEZAk out of the water

I'm not quite sure which one you are saying (AS or SB) could blow ES out of the water not that it really matters, because it is like comparing water to wine. As young actress both AS and SB are very good and maybe have the ability to someday have the acting abilities that ES have but right now no way. Sorry that is just my opinion

Honey, that is not a compliment to Darin Brooks. CMM is one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood today. He used to be good at being a pretty boy, now he's just a douche.

As for Ali Sweeney? I never saw it. Sami's always been a vile and annoying character to me, and AS hasen't been able to step above that IMO.

Stephanie is in the top 10 or maybe even top 5 when she should barely make it into the top 20 for airtime.

What I have against the teens is that as one recently myself, they're an insult. They're idiots, they're immature, they don't know anything, they float around mindlessly only thinking about sex, guys and fashion. Wanna see realistic, well written and well portrayed teenagers? Watch Friday Night Lights. But don't insult my intelligence by showing me a couple of stupid twits and telling me they're the everyday teen. Nick and Chelsea had potential, they ruined that. Max and Abby had potential, majorly so, but nah, they ruined that. Stephanie came on as a horrible character, annoyed me to no end, left and came back "pretty, but spineless". Jett and Jeremy are nobodies, have more airtime than Marlena, John, Bo and Hope (who should be THE top four) and are shoved down my throat.

WELL SAID. I agree. I don't belive AS is capable of carrying a storyline on her own like Deidre Hall is. Or Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. She's not there. DAYS is so lucky to have some gems among their cast. Rare actors with enough talent, enough charisma and enough fan loyalty to be able to carry a storyline on their own. Also, Sami is a villian, villians do not carry storylines on their own, they're antagonists. If it's a John, Marlena, Stefano storyline then you have John & Marlena being John & Marlena, fighting against Stefano. Good versus evil. You don't have Stefano on his own with J&M showing up a few times for good measure.

    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, they made her manic and also much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been completely decimated. Almost every shot was of her by herself because nearly everyone she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.
