Today's show...pretty bad. It's really sad when I'd rather listen to the soundtrack than watch what aired. Seriously, I wish I could have similtaneously muted Katie/Brad and listened to the music. The ONLY thing missing was Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". :)

I guess Parker/Liberty were pretty watchable, except for the underlying seduction going on between them. I wish Carly was in her right mind, and smacking Liberty around like the little troublemaker she is.

Carly...WHY FCOL?? I'm tired of Carly always knowing the right thing to do, and always being seduced by a smooth talking man. (And now that it's Holden, pigeon-talking farm boy, it's doubly insulting.) And his 'tude is laughable. He'd run away with his d*ck shriveled up, if Carly just once bared her fangs at him.

I should be happy this crap is dragging the ratings down...but really, I'm not. I don't want to lose my show. (I know on some level, I already have...)

I do agree though, the placard for Bob Calhoun was a classy move.

Carly and Holden ... couldn't even stand to watch it - yuck!!! I have seen people supporting them and I kind of go WTF?? They are nasty. I know I'm in the extreme minority but I hope the show keeps Noelle Beck because the scenes where she bitched Holden out at the prom (a prom in a diner BTW??) really worked for me.

As for Cardull once again - yuck! TPTB really blow chunks on every soap but OLTL it seems. And maybe Y&R.

;) Y'know you're officially my ATWT twin.

I forgot...I wanted to slap the crap out of Brad when he warned Janet off Jack, blaming Carly for him being "really damaged". Y'know, even if it is true...he played a role in messing Jack up by going along with Carly. I thought he and Carly were friends. Carly even turned around and helped him when it hit the fan. Brad's turning into a hypocrite before our eyes.

Sometimes it really surprises me how little it takes for viewers to pop out of the woodwork to praise something. Throw together kids, animals and a couple of chuckles, and someone will fall for it.

If people like Holden and Carly, I don't see that they are falling for anything, any more than any other group of couple fans. It's not really my cup of tea, but it doesn't surprise me that some fans were ready for a shake up. Maura is doing a good job selling this couple. I'm quite impressed with her for doing her job. So many soap actors try to tank pairings they don't want. It's nice to see someone act professionally. Maybe once it's over, she'll be rewarded with a better pairing (Paul or Mike).

I think Jack and Janet might be interesting. I need to see more, but I like Janet.

I want Luke with that new boy. Noah is annoying me to no end right now.

I know I'll REALLY get flack for this, but I want NOAH to get a new guy. I absolutely cannot stand Luke. He is whiny, clingy, pathetic, and a little too much of a stereotype for my taste. To me, Noah is the far more interesting character.

Wow...I don't think I could choose who was the more interesting of the two---I think they pretty much both are as bland as tap water. I do think Luke is completely stereotypical "gay male", overly emotional, sensitive, creative in that quiet book nerd kind of way. I don't know what Noah is, even after a year on the show. Honestly, I'd rather they make Noah bi-sexual, bring back Maddie and let him pick the girl over Luke. At least that would be unexpected. A little.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.

      I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!

      that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
