Against my better judgment I watched the Rex/Gigi stuff because I thought maybe I was being overly critical and too rigid in my thinking that it was a badly written, badly acted and badly executed story.

I am now more convinced than ever that FF and JPL are weak actors and the Rex/Gigi story is the worst story on the show (quite possibly the entire ABCD lineup). Man they blow chunks.

Marcie's a teacher again?

Brett Claywell is not worth this consolation prize of a character, Kyle. He rushes through his lines and has no connection to anything he says. This should be fun for him, blackmailing everyone in town from Roxy to Natalie/Jared. But yet if you put it on mute he looks like he's telling them all what he bought at the grocery store yesterday. It's a shame, cause he's cute.

Would Gigi REALLY let Shane, who's like, 11, just pack a duffel bag and walk out on her, basically calling his mom a trashy whore? She wouldn't pull out the mom voice and be all, "Well you can hate me till the day I die, but you are NOT walking out of this house on your own!" Did she even wonder why he didn't go to school?

YOWZA! This show is so stinky, it actually leaves a foul odor in the room!

Whatever RC did to lose your trust/faith in him, Fronsie, overlook it.

If anything, Stacy will sell Shane to some pedophile/kiddie pornographer. (Cue the multiple personalities - Shane/Dane/Cane, anyone?)

Ha ha....that's funny.

And what if Stacy also has alters.....Bacy, Cacy, Jacy, Macy, Racy, Wacy, and Zacy.

True. :lol:

And too bad we already have a John in Llanview, or they could have called Stan the pimp John. :P

Honestly, I am just ready for it all to stop. The whole Rex/Gigi/Stacy/Shane thing is just too much. And Brett Claywell sucks as Kyle Lewis the lab tech. There is so much wrong with this show right now.

Well, right now I only know what will happen (for sure) through the 22nd, with a glimpse at the following week. Things will certainly be picking up during that time. I can't say too much, but look for some developments in the KAD and baby switch storylines.

But to answer your question...I personally don't see it getting awhole lot better anytime soon.

    • 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!
