Recommended Posts

Cris annoyed me today. I really wish he would have shut up. Sarah shocked me bc I thought she hated her mother, based on the way she talks about her but deep down you can tell she's relieved and happy to see her. I expected her to tell Tina off but she didnt. I loved them together. Now if only Cris wasnt in those scenes

In regards to rumors that this Sarah may be out, I didn't realize that many people don't like her. I think she has been the best Sarah yet but the problem is they have not even developed the character appropriately. I don't think this actress is bad at all and she is easy on the eyes and can also pass for Tina's daughter..

LOL yeah I guess so. She's better than Shanelle Workman IMO. I could hardly picture her as Tina and Cord's daughter and I didn't think Workman worked the character well. Again, I think it is a character thing. Obviously Sarah is more important now more than ever because her mother is back and she is getting a story so it is pivotal to write her well. She's also out of teen/tween-ville which is kinda how they were writing her back in 2003 or so, IMO. I've warmed up to this Sarah so I hope if she is out they come out with someone even better.

I don't think she's hated on SON; I think it's running about a 50-50 split.

I enjoyed her today. I am angry with the character and don't like to see her come across so callously (in my opinion) towards her sister, but I think MA is playing the role as written with the utmost expertise. Very intriguing.

It's all about shades of gray for me.

I prefer Natalie as an "outsider" and anti-heroine. In the past, whenever this show has attempted to make this girl your "typical", damsel-in-distress-type heroine, I've been less than excited with the results.

I like her. I've never disliked her. And I don't see her as all that hated on this board. Other boards I've read seem to be calling for Justus Bolding to be canned. I don't see it, and don't agree. She reminds me of a young Julie Harris as seen in East of Eden. The character is less than secondary anyway, tertiary if you will, and has managed to rise above that in the last while. Her big challenge is about to happen now that AE has arrived as her mother. We'll see if she can prove herself, though some will always hate her no matter who plays her, mostly due to her current romantic position on the canvas. <_<

And for the few who didn't think they looked hot, we had flames convince them. :rolleyes:

Hackley's not knocking it out of the park at DAYS right now, but I'm glad the DAYS fans haven't been subjected to anything as mind-numbingly stupid as this.

I really hate Natalie right now, but I think MA is doing a good job and the character is much more interesting to me right now than she's been in ages. I disagree with everything she's doing, but I love the fact that she's doing it. Natalie shouldn't be the good girl.

Tina is so much fun. OLTL is over flowing with wonderful divas right now. Every soap should be so lucky (I'm looking at you GH -_- ).

Anyway, I want to know what Todd is up to with Marty. I can't believe we haven't seen them yet.

    • Incline walking Weights  Sprints. I just saved you that click on the article.
    • lol.   I mean...I wouldn't mind his workout secrets. But NOPE on anything insta.    
    • I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.
    • Emma, FTW!!!!!! Her words today to Joss were beautiful. And so well deserved!

      If only Cam had been the one to say it
    • -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?
    • This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.
    • Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?
    • WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
    • Oh God When are we gonna see this on BTG?
    • Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.
