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.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
