No!

Still way too much fake Stephanie and the fraternity chicks. I'd take the whole pack of them over this Stephanie, frankly, but I'd take just about anything over her.

Well in the past few weeks, we've seen much less of Stefanie..2 days a week tops..Which i think is perfect for the character..and i'm enjoying her more now that she's not the slut she was over the summer..But i do agree we need more Lexie, Abe, Tony, and Anna..

Honeys:

DOOL hasn't been on track since Pat Faulken Smith quit in 1981. She was the last great writer of that show. DePriest had some great moments, carrying on Smith's work. But Anderson, then Laiman turned it into a campy, one dimensional show and it never recovered. It used to be NBC's version of Y&R in the 70s. It was a tear jerker, family oriented, suspenseful.

Sheffer could have made it a little better but he failed miserably. Some of the crap, he inherited. But he ruined EJ; he created Tinda Lau storyline (remember gagme...oh I mean Gabby). The DiMera revenge plot is completely lame, nothing new and we had to sit through Colleen/Santo flashbacks. The last few weeks have been better because they fired many newbies adn focused on the core, but it's still pretty laughable. I'm sorry but it's just painful to watch Josh Taylor (God love him for his commitment), but his face is so horribly disfigured from plastic surgury that it makes watching him so painful. Sometimes, in watching this show, I feel like I'm watching wax museum mannequins (poor anorexic K.A.) And now we have Drake's eyebrow back. I do think Scott/Maxam/Foster have done wonders but this show needs a complete overhaul.

Just my wishy washy opinion...

I don't know if it's back, but it certainly is the show I'm watching and the show I'm enjoying. I hope it continues. I quit watching another show I had watched for more than a decade because DOOL convinced me it's good, and it's fun.

I hope nothing changes.

Yes it's back. The show is back to feeling more of an ensemble now, which is good. The cliffhangers are back, and so is story progression. I think Hogan Sheffer and Ed Scott are doing anexcellent job.
