With the writers strike, I'm almost afraid to want that for any of the cast - but aside from that, cutting back their time to even 3 days a week would be work for me (and I love my EJami). The only condition would be that the time taken from them would go to characters we don't see near enough of. I'd love to have some Tony and Anna scenes! Days is still seriously lacking balance even though it is better than what it was a few months ago.

All of the young cast (including Sami and EJ and Lucas) need to be backburned. I say this not only because I don't like watching them but because I think it would be an interesting experiment to see what would happen to ratings if only over 40 vets were showcased. Ratings are already in the toilet, why not give it a try?

Chelsea, Nick, Max, and Stephanie are not on everyday and have been given several breaks. Hell, they have only been on twice this month so far. They weren't even that big on October. Blake went a month between September and October without appearing so I sometimes wonder if people are watching everyday or just going by spoilers and are assuming they are on everyday. The young cast's airtime has dropped considerably. The week of October 29 was the only week in the past two months they were on everyday and alot of story was tied up that week.

Lucas/Sami/EJ doesn't bother me when there is movement and direction but when the story goes around in circles for awhile, I get annoyed. Having said that, they could use a break or some reduction in airtime for sure.

You are absolutely right. They haven't been as much as they were over the summer, and the funny thing is is that I actually really enjoy their storylines right now. I think the problem for me is that we were so overloaded with them for so long and then all of a sudden we had that break with John's hit and run and Shelle/Phelle that I actually enjoyed having it focused on other things. I guess my fear right now is that we will go backwards instead of forward, and they will be on everyday and we will loose the balance we have been getting lately. And I think giving the audience a break from characters for a few weeks isn't such a bad idea, when we had the island storyline I didn't want to see Phillip, Belle, or Shawn for a little while and now I feel like their storyline has been rejuvenated and I for one am kind of excited.

That being said I also don't want to see Marlena, Bo, Hope, Phelle or Shelle on 5 days a week for the next 6 months either.

Actually I agree with you on the lucas/sami/EJ stuff - they were making me nuts with the getting a divorce / not getting a divorce crap, but TH and Fri were good, and as long as they get things moving I'm more than happy. Actually I'm looking forward to seeing Sami take a stand (staying with EJ) esp considering how freaky the Brady "intervention" was. I really hope we get the real Sami back and having her live at the mansion is something I've wanted for years ;)

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems.
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
