Interesting concept on the Amelia/Heather switcheroo.

I'm thinking, as JackPeyton said, that Heather playing the current version of Victoria would be so frustrating to watch. But, if the writers are as good as they seem to be, she may return to form eventually. Look at Phyllis, y'all.

There are too many women on this show who don't have a backbone anymore. We finally see Phyllis's get sturdier and Nikki's "Go to hell" definitely sent her into a mode of self-confidence that we haven't seen in months. But it'd be nice if the rest of the women got their cojones back. I still think that's why it'd be a bad idea for Rowell to return at this time. How the heck would they write her?

As far as sweeps, OLTL had the most bang but Y&R had the most heart. And heart beats out a slew of horrendously atrocious storylines that just happened to culminate into fireworks and explosions.

Ron should only write for sweeps and leave the build-up to more talented writers. I don't even want to know what happens to Marty or Bess/Tess/Jessica or the really lame Colombians who (OH NO!) might be deported.

And that's supposed to be the point of sweeps: to get people to keep watching. To see what happens next. Well, I'll be watching Y&R, thankyouverymuch.

Y&R- A+ to the 100th power

OLTL- B+

The others haven't been worth my time. Although I heard that on AMC, Jesse made some woman pregnant while he was on the run and I felt like throwing up. MUST the writers throw a wrench into that great love affair? Jack and Carly, Jesse and Angie are not.

Y&R and OLTL by far won November Sweeps.

AMC could have done more in a way. IMO Wednesday's show should have aired the first week of November.

DAYS, the story only that interested me was the fallout of Trent's murder. It sucks that they wrote out Nick. For any GL viewers out there his exit seemed so familiar to the death of Ben Reade. Sweet and good kid turns crazed and psycho for the sake of plot. Just stupid, stupid, stupid. Only positive is that we're seeing some spitfire in Chelsea.

    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
