I know. But it's been like this for some time. The same [!@#$%^&*] over and over again. Why now? Why is it so much worse this time? Or have you just had it?

I'm not saying you're not justified (I completely understand why viewers are turning away in droves); I'm just curious.

I understand. Seriously, I do. Me? I'll be watching until the end of the series. I. just. can't. stop. Even though all I really tune in for anymore is Luke and Noah; if their last day was tomorrow, I'd still watch. I'm a creature of habit. Or a glutton for punishment, maybe. 'Till death do us part... <_< Ugh, where's the beer?!

Luke and Zoe/Gia are cousins....but since TIIC haven't bothered to explain how, it's easy to assume it's not as incestuous as it sounds. When they were first introduced I was dreading the Ztwins being fathered by Dante, Damian's nutjob brother who kidnapped him back in 2001.

But Damian keeps talking about these "other Grimaldis", other factions of the family and long family feuds and such...we're supposed to assume it's removed enough to not be icky.

That must be some bitchin' aging software Damian got ahold of...it even updated Zoe/Gia's hairstyle. <_< The one time they could have gotten away with a fairly bad photoshopped picture, and they ignored it.

LOL! Everyone bitched and moaned about the Retcon of Dante back then. And now he's considered "history"? That's scary...

Admit it, RH - if they were Dante's kids, you would have been all about "I can't believe they're going back to that stupid revisionist history! Damian never had a brother! Why would they go back to that crappy story?! Because they're hacks, that's why!!"

You and maybe three others. LOL!

It was supposed to be "Life is Beautiful". Only not so much.

Best part of that story was the one episode of Lily and Rose on the docks, waiting for the coast guard to find Holden and Luke after the boat exploded. Martha rocked that day.

But back on topic... LOL!

    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
