A lot has happened in Springfield so far this week, however, IMO most of it has been boring. I did find Natalia taking the high road about the abortion interesting though. She finds it morally and religious wrong to have an abortion but apparently has no trouble trying to break-up a marriage. Yea, yea, Gus and Harley were/are on shakey ground but that's no excuse for Nat's actions.

Just wait until Alan finds out about his great-grandchild.

I was hoping that Harley would smack the crap out of Natalia today. Natalia is a hypocrite. She "Abortion is wrong" blah blah which I would have no problem with that opinion if Natalia hadn't just got finished breaking up a marriage.

Would love to see a catfight break out between Natalia and Harley. The more I see her, the more I don't like the actress who plays Daisy. At first I thought that the character was interesting because she started off as a trouble maker but now she's just a one note dopey teen. I really don't feel anything when I watch Bonnie Dennison. It seems like she forces her crying scenes and fakes everything else.

The abortion on Monday was RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED! When I look back on Friday's episode, there was no indication whatsoever (at least not from what my sis and I saw on-screen) that would have made me think she was going to have an abortion on Monday.

WHY did EW/DK rush this SL? An abortion is not a plot point! It gave us, the viewers, absolutely no time to get involved in this story. To watch what Daisy is going through, how she came to her decision, etc. We have to be emotionally involved with this character if we are going to give a crap what she does. As it turned out, I couldn't care less what happened because they RUSHED the story. UGH.

And IA, Matt. I haven't grown to liking BD playing Daisy.

And how have EW/DK made me stop caring about Harley?!? She was one of my favorite characters, and now I find her presence irritating.

GT was great on Monday and Tuesday. As much as it pisses me off how EW/DK ruined a very good story idea, GT has been playing whatever they write for her very well. I loved it on Monday when she confronted Mallet about her parking skills. Her and MK/Vanessa have, IMO, great chemistry when they are on-screen together. I can really feel the mother-daughter tension in their scenes.

Anyway....<sigh> let's see what the rest of the week brings....

^ ^ ^ ^ Thanks Noel.

I'm kinda scared to watch what happened today (Thurs). It wouldn't surprise me to turn on the TV and have all forgiven between Daisy and Rafe. AND they are probably planning their wedding :angry:

They should get Rafe outta Daisy's orbit anyway. Someone should tell him the WHOLE truth. Like how his almost baby mamma is actually a 25 year old woman who obviously has a de-aging disease! :lol:

ITA The problem that I'm having with this s/l is that it seems to be more about Reva ( her involvement, what she said to Daisy, yada, yada ) than it is about Daisy, so I too could care less.

Again ITA, however this whole Dinah/Matt s/l has been done to death on GL. Can you say Holly/Ross/Blake. IRL people who suffer from Dinah's condition have serious problems TPTB could really do more with this s/l

I like Vanessa/Billy but want to see them be just friends again before anything else takes place.

Abortion can join the long list of serious issues they've fumbled.

Really EW/DK's GL is like Lorraine Broderick's AMC on acid. They try to handle the serious issues but in the end mess it up. This being a soap that had handled some quite well in it's history.

Speaking of breast cancer; any mention on GL that it's breast cancer awareness month?

JSROCKS, ITA with your point. And I do remember Holly/Ross/Blake and think of that everytime I see Dinah with Matt. Of course, it was a lot better last time around.

Dinah's TBI started out really good, with her speach problems and thought process, etc. And EW/DK should have continued showing those types of issues with this condition, but they seem to have used it (again) as a plot point to break up her marriage to Mallet. If GT was not in this role, the wheels would have come off a long time ago.

Hi Michael - NOPE. Not a word about breast cancer :mellow:

Yesterday's show was horrible. Cassie counseling Daisy because "she has no one". GMAFB. Are they ever going to get tired of pimping this character?!? I can't stand Cassie. She should have drown in the lake a few months back, IMO. She is quite obviously EW/DK's golden child. Her marriage to Josh is the only "happy" one in town. Every other couple is broken up when one of them cheats, but not these two! Ugh.

Natalia calling REMY to help with Rafe? WTF? :huh:

And Olivia was back on yesterday. I love CC. I guess her contract stipulated her having to appear, so the writers thought up some pathetic "vigil" for her. What a waste. :angry:

And I don't give a rat's ass about Ava. Why is she still here? :angry:

Like I've been saying I think DK/EW are tying to make this couple a version of Ed and Maureen Bauer....how idiotic of them.

It's sad that she's been reduced to this. What do DK and EW have against her? Really, they connect both Jeffrey and Ava to her and now this? Ridiculous. CC should have never signed that new contract she would do wonders on DAYS or a ABC soap.

Ok so the week is over, sonow I can vent.

If TPTB wanted to do crime stories with villians and vindictive women, they should have kept the Santos Family. No body played the vindictive bit ch diva like Carmen Santos and could there have been a more evil person ( male or female ) than her mother. That was one scary smiling grandmother. Even Danny was bad until TPTB ruined him.

Who creates a s/l based on a "green card " marriage--- TIIC that's who. There's Cyrus- the poor man's gigolo, neer do well theft, and "green card " husband. Then there's Griggs who is susposed to be this big time crime boss/person, but who actually comes off as your everyday thug for hire. What a waste of DW's talents. This brings me to Alex ( one of my favorites ). Are we to believe that she would actually have someone kidnapped to keep them away from her "green card " husband. It was bad enough that this member of the towns wealthest family was desperate enough to even consider a "green card " marriage, but funding a kidnapping to keep him ---PLEASE!! There is nothing I can say about Marina other than--- she is no Michelle Bauer-Santos, even on a good day.

If this nonsense doesn't end soon, I'm going to have to stop watching for a while.

Rant over-- didn't mean to take up everyone's time.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
