I don't see them killing Johnny off unless this show is about to phase the Carters off. Too many departures and bad things happening to one family is not a good sign. 

 

I hope that it is Jane's a** that is dead. I hope she doesn't escape death thrice as she should've originally died when Steven held her hostage back in the day. She escaped death again when Bobby whacked that a** with that mallet. The third time needs to be a charm. Jane going is the only way I can start looking at Ian positively again.

Well Bonnie Langford better pick someone else to sing with. 

 

I need Jane to die! I can never forgive her for tossing Lucy out like trash and covering for Bobby. 

 

So I went back and watched all the explosion episodes (why I don't know) thus far, and the show is just dreadful. The scripts are cheesy. So much stuff doesn't make sense. I don't know who at BBC allowed Sean O'Connor to greenlight this crap, but they need to be stoned or thrashed for allowing it. 

 

The only scenes out this whole ordeal that I found good was Max and Jane. I enjoyed Max refusing to help Jane's crippled a** escape and reminding her that she didn't feel bad when she allowed him to go to prison. 

 

Sadly, I feel bad for Jake Wood. I know my poor @DRW50 must be fretting over the destruction of Max. Max is not gonna be able to come back from this story. They are gonna have to kill him or send him back to prison when all comes out b/c he's too far-gone. Maybe the show will keep this secret for years like they did with Phil knowing about Dennis' death.

When they had him targeting Jack and the Carters for no apparent reason I knew they were going to just make him look awful to prop Ian and Jane and Phil. I checked out. To be honest I've checked out of the show mentally for a while now. Today's episode and Tuesday's were laughingstocks. The ratings will be good, I'm sure, but Julia Smith and Tony Holland would be sick at what this show has become.

Well, the writer's attempt to make me view Max as awful failed miserably. If anything, I cheered when he left Jane behind and when he lied to Ian about Jane. I hope Jane is burned to a crisp, and Ian is left all alone in that house. He deserves to be miserable after getting with Jane, who dumped poor Lucy on a lot like she was trash. And anything bad happening to Phil is fine with me. I always yearn for the day that I hear Steve McFadden is over the show and wants to retire. I'll do a split the day Phil croaks. It'll cause the show to finally progress as the albatross will be gone.

 

The ratings might be good, but EE got dragged on Twitter today. UK soap fans were praising ED's 3 episodes tonight while making fun of EE. I think the damage was done tonight. I think once this story passes, fans are gonna move on elsewhere for solace. 

 

I do agree that Smith and Holland are rolling in their graves over the destruction of their baby.

This show is hot garbage. Yet another Beale child was killed, and Jane still lives. There's gonna be no next generation for the Beales and Fowlers b/c they keep killing them all off. I'm fearful for Bex at this point. 

 

I thought it was so stupid that Steven was brought back, given a lame a** arc, and then killed off.

I agree. 

 

It would've been much more interesting to see him and Ben at odds over twinkish Johnny or some other dude instead of Steven going crazy over bland Lauren. 

 

Also, Abi once again was tied to yet another man (Ben being the first) that was gay. Can she get knocked up by a man that doesn't like penis as much as she does?!

    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
