Members tylerbo20 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 if he brings back Kristen, Vivian, Carrie and Austin im all for it! im sure he will quickly write out dead weights like Tony like he did every other time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 11, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2008 Kristen, Vivian - yes Carrie Austin - no LOL Tony is still on the show? At least Reilly used Tony....er...Andre. It seems like Dena doesn't know what to do with him. Either use him, or get him off your payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 His constant daydreams, long days, and stupid characters would be better then anything Hackley could churn out, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Folks, there is no "second wind" where JER is concerned. The man has a finite bag of tricks which he'd exhausted by 1997 and has been rinsing/repeating ever since. I also disagree that DAYS has been no better since he left. The storylines still suck but at least the show has been purged of his dreadful stylistic traits (constant flashbacks, fake cliffhangers, days that last 40 episodes etc.).

Members Sylph Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 What an amazing post this one is! I hope all who want him back get all they deserve. Those stylistic traits and more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Now we know things are bad when we want Reilly back..but hey, I would watch days again if they gave Celeste back her crystal ball so she can scream...."Oh NO!!NO!!NO!! EVIL has come to Salem!!!" Hell, its so bad at GL I would weclome him there....maybe I would start watching if we find out Reva was really impregnated by an alien, Jeffie is really an alive and well Bradon Spaulding who found a youth serum in the tropics (and its wearing off as you can see by the lines and wrinkles) and he needs the heart of Rafe to retain his fadeing youth, and that clone Dolly is now a zombie who crawled her way out of the grave at Cross Creek, (after eating a couple of the vets at the new hospital in its place) and is heading back to Springfield for a little revenge. GL is not GL anymore but at least Reilly could make it BAD and ENTERTAINING then just plain BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KevC1980 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 As long as the show doesn't turn into a bunch of quadrangles and characters in isolated stories, i would be okay with this..I do think part of the reason JER"s last stint didn't go over so well was because he was writing two soaps at the time...

Members Shylock Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 It's simple. Higley's writing is just boring, not interesting, nothing really happening. Reilly gives you a master class in Why People Think Of Soaps As A Joke 101. That is still far, far better to die off to than to struggle and choke on the vomit of the stuff that Reilly has produced in the last decade or so. The constant bait-and-switches, the "Hey, we don't have any respect for our viewers, so we'll show flashbacks to YESTERDAY's show a few times!", the ridiculous bull like the possession, New Salem, the serial killer stuff, etc. The solution is to bring fresh, new writers in to stir things up. They should find someone who was a fan of Days and who has a solid vision of where the show should go and what they want to do with it. Reilly is the wrong way to go. It'd be like fixing a wound by taking a hatchet to it, rather than giving it to a few talented surgeons who can fix it up well enough so that there's no noticeable scarring.

Members jadestar Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I don't want Reilly back at Days. I will stick with a soap with most any writer except Reilly. I wasn't thrilled with Reilly's first time at Days and despised his second time (and eventually quit watching during that time) so I hope he's not given a third time at Days.

Members DrewH Posted October 12, 2008 Members Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hell no. I can't go through that again. I say let him go back to GL. They're the ones that need rating boosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NEWMANJABOT Posted October 12, 2008 Members Share Posted October 12, 2008 Bring that moron back and watch the ratings go down.Need I remind you all that it was the fans that wanted him gone.And it was NBC television that threatened not to renew DAYS OF OUR LIVES the last time if JER was not fired.
