What other actors don't you like from the beginning of SB?

IMO the man who is playing John Perkins is not doing a good job. He's so angry and exaggerated.

And Melissa Reeves or Brennan is not very good either & I also think Robin Wright was OK, but she's much better one or 2 months after the beginning.

I also wasn't crazy about Danny Andrade or the revolving door of C.C.s (though Charles Bateman wasn't bad, the role didn't really come alive until Jed Allan came in). Kelly/Joe was almost the only good thing about SB in the first couple of months until key people like Marcy Walker, Nic Coster, Kerry Sherman and Richard Eden came aboard.

I LOVE SB's promo. So 80s. I find myself watching all the SB promos a couple of times a year.

What annoyed you about Danny? I always got the impression from episodes I've seen that they never tried to invest in him or the Andrades at all. Even Santana, who did get some shine. I felt she was bulldozed by Cruz and Eden and that was the end of her. She was the beginning of many victims. Kirk. Tori. Elena. Robert/Quinn. So on and so on.

But back to Danny, why not give him a nice romance with Jade? I always felt that Ted flopped about in later years b/c he didn't have his solid core three with him. Especially Laken. But I guess because they were doing forbidden love stories with Kelly and Eden, they just decided to toss Ted aside.

    • 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

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.
