DAYS: What is with all the violence?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I am serious about this, so please keep it serious. I like to know what is up with all the violence on days lately. Since hogan sheffer took over, it has been none stop violence. I will admit i do like the violence but where is the romance. I to would like to see the romance for my favorite couples but since Hogan took over it been 90% violence 10% romance.

It been 1 year and a half and we only had like 2 love scenes with Santeen and Phelle. I thought the Santeen Love Scene was very well done and the best days did in a while but i mean she Santeen, we didn't really have alot of romance except for Phelle but it made me want to throw up. I am a Shelle fan and i was so disappointed when we only got like IDK 10 seconds for the love scene in April.

Since Hogan came on, we had Steve and Kayla getting poisoned, Shawn and Belle jumping from a ship with a baby, EJ getting shot, EJ and Sami getting locked in a steam room. John getting run down by a car, John getting Shot, Chelsea getting kidnapped and put on a bomb, Max and Stephanie jumping out a plane, Morgan almost getting raped, Andre planting a bomb everywhere in salem, EJ threaten to be shot with a shotgun while in bed, Andre pulling knives on everyone like Sami and Hope, Bo and Hope gets caught in a explosion at doug's place and i probably missed many more.

I understand Days is a soap opera and we need the action and the drama but we also need romance and that is something days is lacking alot these days.

I mean whatever happened to the shower scenes we use to get with John and Marlena or Bo and Hope. I would love to see a Nick and Chelsea love scene, come on the first time they made love they didn't even show it. WHAT A RIP OFF TO CHICK FANS but they were about to show Morgan getting raped by Ford Decker....Hogan sure make sense, he is sending the wrong message, does he think rape is romance or what. He was about the show the morgan rape scene until Max saved her, what if Max didn't save her, would we see the whole scene.

We are getting clips of Stephanie which looks like rape. I do appreciate some action but DAYS NEED ROMANCE HOGAN. You proved with Santeen's love scene you can write love scenes, why don't you do it regularly.

Hopefully with Dena Higly coming on board as Co-HW, she will bring the romance back and give us some love scenes. Maybe for EJAMI or Chick, Bope, Mormax etc.

Days use to have lots of romance before sheffer came in 2006, even under Reilly and the serial killer. We even got a roman and Marlena love scene in the castle.

What does Sheffer have against Romance. Please Sheffer give us romance for the couples and days will be the best show on tv, which right now it is aside from GH. SHEFFER THIS ISN'T GH WHICH HAS GUN SHOOTOUT LIKE EVERY SCENES, days is alot different then GH. please sheffer, give us the romance back.

I will admit we do get romance a few days out of a month but come on 2 love scenes in a year in a half.

If i was someone who lived in Salem, i would be afraid to live in Salem, the danger rate probably went up to like 90%.

IDK what Sheffer obsession with rape is and the scenes. He makes sense, he doesn't show when Nick and Chelsea first makes love and their first time is very special on soaps for a couple and he didn't even show it but he was willing to show Morgan getting raped by Ford Decker at his room, thank god for Max. SHEFFER, U ARE GIVING KIDS THE WRONG IDEA.

Please Sheffer, give the women of Salem their backbone back. I thought you said that when u came on that u would give every women a backbone, u are such a lair. Come on give Stephanie/Belle/Sami etc their backbone back. Its like you do it on purpose to make the men the hero.

Come on, please let Sami tell Lucas off, i can't stand him. Just pair ejami already and u shall get higher ratings. I am glad u gave Chelsea her backbone back when she told Ford Decker off the night he was supposedly caught trying to rape Morgan.

I loved that u sorta gave Stephanie who backbone back when she stood up to ford decker and called him a pig lol.

But come on, Romance needs to be on all the time, ok maybe not all the time but not 1-3 times a month.

Ok...I'll bite.

Exactly what are you trying to say? I read your post (and disagree with some things), but it's completely contradictory to some of the statements you've.

The "romance" for DAYS has been missing for a while, not just before Hogan came onto the show. There have been intimate moments. Relationships aren't just about sex. Bo & Hope's scenes for his birthday were intimate. Steve & Kayla have had intimate moments and if I'm not mistaken, also made love this year. John & Marlena, the very few times they were on together did have some intimate moments.

Has DAYS relied on action/plot/violence a bit too much this past year, yes they have. But there are people who are happy on the show. Everyone isn't sleeping with someone behind their partner's backs. There isn't some third wheel that is trying to break them up all of the time, or people doing stupid things to sabotage their relationships (a pattern which happening entirely too much on some shows).

true, i do agree with alot of what you say there, i mean i would love to see more of the playful scenes like with Bo and Hope and do you remember when Rex and Mimi always had those playful scenes, i miss those on days. Yes we do get some of those playful scenes with Chick but not alot anymore. I just always enjoyed these playful scenes especially with Bo and Hope. The bets are funny as hell lol.

Actually what Days need is Balance but it is better then from Jan-April.

I also mean, how many bombs has Sheffer used in like 6 weeks or something. He used like 6 bombs so far this who year and thats too many bombs. I would like something different from Sheffer.

Also but didn't hogan said in a interview when he came on that he would give the women their backbone back. OK, this whole Summer Stephanie didn't have one, she just took everything Jeremy dished at her.

well i am going to bed for the night, goodnight.

actually i was being serious and making a point. Isn't rape consider a form of violence too, like having sex with a girl or women without their consent. Hogan does love rape but come on he does not make sense and he is sending the wrong message.

I know this is a soap but like i said before he doesn't make sense. He was probably going to show ford raping morgan but he didn't even show Nick and Chelsea's first time.

One word to Hogan, Days had enough rape storys and i am quite tired of them. I say after the campus rapist which is being handled very well IMO, they should stay away from the topic of rape.

Are you talking about DAYS, or about daytime in general? Because, quite frankly, that's more or less what most soap fans are saying.

In other words, just an average day in Salem.

Thank goodness for small favors.

No, he thinks rape is comedy. Exhibit A? When Julia (Lindsay) forced Jack to have sex with her, on ATWT.

*snerk*

Now I know what Diet Coke-through-the-nostrils feels like. Ouch.

(BTW, StephanieLover, you owe me a new laptop.)

Dude! He's, like, a dude.

*snerk*

OUCH!

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
