Recommended Posts

  • Administrator

I'm so sick and tired of seeing people eat! Why does Dena always write people having dinner? Bo/Hope, Chelsea/Daniel, Anna/Tony, Nicole/Trent, Roman/Kate/Bo/Hope, etc, etc.

Nothing happened in today's ep. So boring. *sigh*

Oh on a positive note, Deidre looked smokin hot today! :wub:

Well to each there own and I hope people who enjoy DOOL and want to post here are not easily intimidated: I thought today's show was pretty good. I'm glad I stopped watching OLTL because it so deadly dull. I always think it's best to stop watching a show you are not going to like no matter what is shown. B)

I really do think Nu John is more interesting than Old John. Roscoe Born is a natural soap character :lol: :lol: My only regret right now is that TB is leaving. I wish her well and I think she must have something good on the string. I look forward to seeing her come back. Nicole and Ava have great chemistyr.

Nobody's stopping them.

If they can't handle negative posts, they shouldn't be posting on a message board.

Or go create a "I LOVE DAYS" thread in the love/hate forum if people don't want to see negative posts.

It's not a matter of not liking ANYTHING that is shown. If I think it's good, I'll say it's good. If it sucks, I'll say it sucks. And right now it sucks major ass.

If Dena magically starts to write anything good, I'll give her props. ;)

Yeah.....I doubt very seriously I'll be praising Dena anytime soon. LOL Every story right now is pretty bad.

When I mentioned the love/hate forum, I was speaking to those who are intimidated to post for whatever reason. ;)

I know you're not intimidated by negative posts, Jess, as you've continued posting your thoughts here. It's cool. :)

ITA!!! What is Higley's problem? Why doesn't she believe in developing a story? Its like she just gets so excited with her lil story ideas and puts them into the dialogue the same day the idea hits her! I'm really glad that JR and RJ are getting a story but geez!! They derserve good writing! I think this story is going to really make or break Higley. If she messes up the writing for this autism storyline (something that is so close to home) then I will definitely crown her the worst HW that has ever existed, or will ever exist on DAYS! (yes even worse than Tom Langan who current holds that spot!)

LOL!! It's been a busy week for me, but I've watched and here's my shot...

Days on a scale from 1-10 right now is a 4, and thats only because the acting.

For The Week of June 23-27

Writing (Story Direction): 2

Dialouge: 2

Production Values: 7

Acting: 6

Casting (New Actors/ Characters): 4

Romance (Couples/Chemistry) 2

Adventure: 0

Family/Relationships 3

I don't like John and Ava. I'm tired of Stephanie and Max, but I love Trent, and I loved his scenes with both Max and Nicole. It really is a high point right now on this show. I loved getting to see Abe and Lexie get a storyline, but for what? A few sparse lines about autism that sounded like a PSA, with no real depth to the story. We've hardly seen Theo yet, but the story is about HIS battle, as well as the family's struggle. Dena's writing this from a parents point of view, but pardon my bluntness, the kid's suffering through the disorder here. I think there needs to be a balanced approach, and I agree with Toups, a focus on the diagnosis and treatment, not just selfish dialouge from complaining parents. BUT, this is better than we've seen Abe and Lexie get in a long time, so I'm glad to see this couple get screentime when Lexie's not cheating or stealing a baby.

Of all the couples on this week, I can only really enjoy Bo and Hope. Jawn is killing J&M for me, and they are one of my faves. I could careless if they are together when he is Jawn, and I'm tired of seeing Marlena reduced to begging for love. It's killing her character all over again. So much damage seemed to be repaired, and now we are back to weak, whimpy Marlena. I could care less whom the rest of the cast chooses to screw, since the show is about to turn into a slut-fest for it's annual "umbrella story". Sex between the wrong people isn't romance, it's soft porn. Nothing wrong with that B) just don't call it a summer of romance when it's a bunch of misguided idiots acting like Dogs in heat.

So it's been worse. Dena's doing better than last time, and I like this better than Langan. I've given credit for what I see as good, and what I see as bad. There's more bad than good, but it's not all bad, even if it's just almost watchable. I make no sense now, but maybe you know what I mean. The show sucks, but it's not a total loss. If I were an insurance adjuster doing a claim, I'd mark it a 70% loss.

    • That makes sense. Rauch did like to play games, as shown with some of the antics with the Labines. We should make some screencaps.  I can imagine her not being thrilled by much of anything in 1996.
    • I believe he also turned out to be Doug Cassen's son. I could be wrong about that. Yeah, he doesn't get talked about much in the history books. 
    • Cady McClain said the same thing with her hairdos - she switched it up so much because she was either unhappy or bored.  Kim must have been unhappy in 1996 because she has so many different short styles, it's wild (haha).
    • She definitely was trying new things with her hair and makeup in the 1986 scenes I saw so it tracks. Rauch wouldn't have been there, but it just strikes me as a conversation Rauch would have had with her with when he was at GL. Rauch loved to badmouth JC. So she put it in the book as if she had been told at the time. It's like how she has Michelle Forbes on GL years before she actually arrives or Ellen Wheeler firing people who had been fired yrs. before by Rauch or Conboy.
    •   From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline, and that was up to and including the week of Diamont's party, and after.
    • Well, a good number of sets were up when I was there, but there was a limited number of people around. Even Y&R seemed dead, but maybe everyone was out for lunch at the time? I remember driving from the parking lot and preparing to enter the roadway when I saw Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc returning from what I think was their lunch break. Not sure where they went or were coming from.
    • A scene I cannot wait to see. Julie Harris as Liliemae is the gift that keeps on giving; she's not outright evil, but frustrating, and in her own way, still pretty lovable.
    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale.
