AMC-B+: Maybe I am in the minority here but I like Ryan, Kendall, Zach, Aidan, Greenlee and Annie. I also like Erica and the budding "romance" with Samuel Woods. And of course Jesse and Angie are great.

GL-B: I like the fact they are trying something new and I like Cyrus & Harley and the story with Bill, Lizzie and Jonathan.

Days-B+: This is the best sweeps they have had in years. I think its a stroke of genius making John a DiMera and a Brady.

Y&R-C+: What I saw of the show I liked. I didn't watch every episode during sweeps but I liked the B&B crossovers.

B&B-B: I missed Bradley Bell. Ashley needs a storyline and I hate Rick & Taylor together.

AMC: D+

Jesse & Angie's returns have been fantastic and I'm glad Erica finally has a story that doesn't revolve around either of her daughters. These three characters prevented me from giving it an F.

The rest of the show has been lacking since there are no long-term storylines. What happened last summer with Greenlee stealing Kendall's son has been dropped completely and now they're friends? Kendall & Aiden's fling was a plot device that made no sense, as was the novel that she suddenly wrote while her husband was missing. Richie has potential as fun bad guy, but he did nearly kill Zach although I have a feeling the writers don't think we remember that. Unfortunately, Richie is wasted in a dull triangle with Babe & JR, who are just one of several couples that imo have no chemistry (along with Zzzzendull, Ryan/Annie, Greenlee/Aiden, Krystal/Tad among others). This show desperately needs a headwriter who can plot stories based on the characters and how they would naturally react to each other instead of more plot devices (although I am grateful that February was B&E's first sweeps month without a car accident).

B&B.....F. For returning for another round of BrICK. Steph's shooting ended with a thud, and the thought of Ric/Taylor skeeves me out. Ditto Eric/Donna.

ATWT....B. It's probably a little generous, but the Parker storyline is good. Craig's goodbye, and Henry and V finally emerging from the basement.

GL...D. Too much Jon, too much Harley/Cyrus/Marina.

AMC: F------

This show is at it's all time worst, IMO. The Jesse/Angie stuff started out GREAT, loved the reunion, the lovemeking, but now that we're in to the actual storyline, I'm bored out of my skull. DM and DW are fantastic actors, but even they can't save the inane, nonsensical writing they're being given.

Don't even get me started on the Sextet from Hell (Ryan/Annie/Greenlee/Aidan/Zach/Kendall). All the stupid, forced, contrived situations they are put in, the lame, painfully repetetive dialogue, the fact that the Kendall/Aidan one night sexfest hasn't been revelaed yet, the complete lack of chemistry between every one of these characters (except Zach and Kendall, of course... :) ) Ugh. It's a big ol' clusterf*ck.

JR/Richie/nuBabe....ridiculous story, like something out of a bad sci-fi novel, complete with no chemistry between any of the characters. Awful.

Ryan's amnesia....soooooooo lame. Does anyone think that Ryan will NOT get his memory back? No! So therein, there is no suspense. He is acting like even more of a self-important blowhard than usual. Seriously, whoever thought this story with this "actor" was a good idea should be taken out back and shot.

I am this close to tuning out and never tuning back in. And it pains me to say that.

DAYS - B-

GH - F This whole week I had no clue what was going on because they were jumping all over the place.

Y&R - C+ Improving and getting back to basics. A little tweaks here and there and the show should be soild again.

Y&R-A

I'm still really enjoying the show as a whole. Can't think of one character I don't like...can't think of one story I'm not enjoying

B&B-B

Getting tired of Ridge, Brooke and Nick

GH-B+

Tired of Claudia. Tired Liz and Jason. Tired of Lulu's drama. Tired of the mob drama. Ric and Marianna bore me. Plus comes in because of Patrick/Robin, Jerry/Alexis, Nikolas/Nadine, Lucky/Sam and Maxie/Spinelli

ATWT-B-

Only finding myself interested in Matt, Henry & Vienna, Brad & Katie and Lily & Holden

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
