I thought Max/Trent (DEan) were great today. Roscoe Born is such a talent and I think he fits in very well on DOOL.

I'm also loving NuJohn. I think Old John needs to stay on the disk that Phillip has and the new John continue just as he is. He's funny and he is something other than an angel. DH actually is doing a good job playing NuJohn and I've never been impressed with him as an actor before. It was funny when he was on his date and EJ walked in, then Lucas and then the two women and Rolf.

Ava is becoming my favorite character and I think Nicole and Ava are a great pair. I'm hoping that there is a change in plans and Ava stays around. I'm also enjoying the dock scenes and it does remind me of "the day" as folks say in reference to another soap.

I'm happy with DOOL right now and do acknowledge that is subject to change because of the writer. I hope she continues to do OK for a while longer. It's the only soap I watch every day. Y&R has gotten pretty dull as of late and I hope HS changes that.

Add me to those loving Ava, TB was a fantastic addition to the show....And i'm enjoying her so much more now that she's mixing it up with John and Nicole...Nicole and Ava are a riot..I really liked how Ava offered to protect Nicole if she needed it...I really hope Days does all it can to keep TB with the show after the summer..I don't want her to leave..

I think I don't like NuJohn because of what it's doing to Marlena. At first I loved Jawndie and I was intrigued by the story of Marlena falling for the nuJohn while still being in love with the old but they haven't really delivered with that. Instead, it seems now that her entire life revolves around him and it's annoying. I mean could she have one conversation with someone where she doesn't mention John? Toups I agree with what you said about Claire. She made nuJohn more human and that's something that's missing right now.

I do like Ava, and any scene that Tamara is in is good for me. I'm also intrigued by Nicole's history with Trent, because it's interesting to see her actually scared but I think I've had just about of Mad Max Syndrome. He needs to chill out.

I really want Ava to stay. I look forwarding to seeing Nicole and Trent in scenes together because the actors are both wonderful. I'm hoping DOOL does not take Trent too far over the top so that he can't survive on the show. I want him to stay.

I like those scenes a lot too. Darrin, in my opinion, has always been pretty good, but he is stepping it up with Roscoe. I think Roscoe Born is such a talented guy that he brings out the best in others. I very very much hope that they don't write Trent so over the top that he becomes a cartoon character. They did that on Y&R and OLTL. I'd like to see him be more like he was on Santa Barbara.

Yeah, those were good scenes (acting wise), but I still don't like the story. So Trent is Max's father and he was banging Nicole and he'll be Higley's next "villian of the week" (as Kenny puts it). LOL I bet Roscoe will be off the show before 2008 is over.

I hate that they're playing it like Jawn or Philip killed Paul. That doesn't sit right with me. I can't see them as cold blooded killers. :(

And why kill Paul? He's Morgan's dad! Are they not planning to keep Morgan?

Why doesn't Ava interact with Steve anymore? She just forgot about the man she loved? Ava and Jawn dating?

Chelsea and Dan going on a date? Oh joy!! <_< I thought he didn't want to be near her?

What's wrong with Kate? What happened to her? Did I miss something?

Toups, the Ava/Steve thing is bugging me out as well. It's like they've forgotten the story they were telling ONE MONTH AGO.

Steve/John scenes? Kayla/Marlena scenes re: Ava mucking in their lives? Anything?! SOMETHING?!

It makes my head hurt.

    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • 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.

    • 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.   
    • 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
