Roxy is very annoying. Rex is Ethan from Passions - A complete dumb ass. Gigi is Theresa - Make deals with God then tries to break it but ends up sticking with it. Stacey is Gwen - The evil bitch. Seriously, Gigi/Rex/Stacey reminds me so much of Ethan/Theresa/Gwen love triangle from Passions. Ron is copying a lot from that wacky triangle.

Theresa had more layers than Gigi (and I couldn't stand Theresa).

JPL shows how underrated EM was as Ethan. JPL can't bring anything to the role of Rex other than smirks and yelling. When he has to do this type of leading man dunce material, he's lost.

So was today it for David? I have to admit I never bought the friendship between Viki and David, I don't believe they would ever be close, the main reason they ever were close was because he always has to genuflect to her while she tolerates him.

I loved seeing Viki and David, and I just love their friendship. It was SO nice to see David back to being David instead of that monk stuff. To bad he couldn't stay longer.

For a PI, Rex is an idiot.

Yeah, I believe Roxy could manage to do that. Huh uh....

So tired of Starr's whining self.

Don't get me wrong, I like Roxy, but she is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed....and wouldn't any normal person just starting pushing buttons and unplugging cords until the machine shut down? How did she know the make and model of the system at the clinic anyway? She's usually an emotional wreck or boozed up when she visits Rex's father.

And don't even get me started on Marty.... <_<

I didn't mind today’s episode. I loved seeing David and Vicki, they always make me smile, and that remark about her never winning any acting awards was classic. I also love how he shamelessly hits on her all the time and Brodicca are HOT!!! I could watch them all day long. I even liked Starr and Cole. On their own I could take them or leave them but together there all right. I could pick apart the rest of today’s scenes (anything involving Rex/Roxy, Marty/John) but with the state of network TV I've decided to focus only on the positive.

Roxy is an idiot. I cant beleive she would bring up instructions on how to take someone off life support to the hospital with her. Not only that but she goes and throws it in the public trash? I know she doesnt have that many working brain cells, but come on, I had to scratch my head on this.

Actually that Stacy is down to 11 spots is an improvement (and a surprise, I feel like she is on every fuhreakin' day!). As much as I loathe John McBain as a character, he's really not that bad in cop/investigator mode. It's just his romantic entanglements I find so watery and boring to watch. And even those are a vast improvement over Stacy. But then a visit to the dentist for a root canal is imminently preferable to spending an hour with Stacy. It's just painful and I want her away from my Roxy.

    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson. 
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
