Bree Williamson in the immediate aftermath was just laughable, but that could be how she was scripted, with nonstop hysterical crying the entire episode. John Brotherton has always been a bad actor that people simply elevated because his character is so entertaining. The only person who has seriously entertained me is Robin Strasser. Those scenes with Langston a couple days ago were flawless.

To clarify, when I said the writing was bad, I meant how the episodes were structured, the forgettable dialogue and mediocre subplots. This could've been their Emmy submission, but they failed overall. They seemed to have wanted something grand and the way it was promoted sounded better than what I actually saw. Nash through the skylight onto Rex and Gigi? Classic soap moment, right? Wrong. Forgettable.

Wow..good for OLTL. I agree it's not flawless, and I have never watched regularly. However, I've watched this week and it's better than anything else, with B&B in a second place for me. The rest of daytime...ho hum. Sad to see Days finally lose it's February bump, but I saw it coming. Good News....Corday will blame Higley and we may have a new writer by November...We'll see.

Let's see Goutman...ummmmm

Luke and Noah are no longer a draw to the show.

Liberty/Juicy Janet(what an awful name)/Brad/Katie isnt working or drawing anyone new. That frankly nobody cares a [!@#$%^&*] about.

Paul/Meg/Cole/Mike/Sofie isnt working. It a pathetick [!@#$%^&*] storyline. That frankly nobody cares about.

Hmmm..no wonder ATWT numbers are in the [!@#$%^&*]!!!

I guess it's time for Corday to come up with a new plan to save Days??

GL....truly deserved numbers...the show sucks balls.

Looks like Y&R has found a new home in the mid-3s. Will be interesting to see if any of the dailies came close to touching the 3.0 mark. I'm shocked that the AMC momentum has continued. Pretty ironic, considering this is B&E's swan song. What's going on at Days? Haven't watched in a while. Poor P&G shows. ATWT always finds a way of bringing itself up, but GL is seriously just a lost cause.

B&B isn't doing itself any favors with this painfully dull Nick/Katie romance being the only storyline featured at the moment. Bring back the trashiness of Rick and Taylor with nuStephanie Brooke gasping in horror.

B&B is boring as [!@#$%^&*]!! The whole CBS lineup needs a major overhaul.
