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.

    • Spoke with my contacts at Lifetime. As of now, there is nothing to share in terms of updates. 
    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • 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.
