Mark, I agree. JM has a bad cocktail of loser going on right now. He is better in today's show. I actually bought him with Sharon. His scenes with Michelle were short but intense. But he was putting more of himselt into those scenes and it shows.

NuSummer is all sorts of awesome. What a cute, natural little girl. She interacts with everyone well while portraying genuine affection for her TV parents. I flove her jumping into Nick's arms while delightfully screaming "Daddy!". :)

WORD to all of this..I just finished watching Monday's eppy and all I can say is the new guy is going to have to work his ass off to impress me...CE was a much better performer than it appears he gave himself credit for, his dissatisfaction doesn't read AT all...Monday once again proved why Nikki has to stay on this show. She's such an integral part of the foundation..and FINALLY a civil scene between Nikki/Jack..If MTS does stay I'd love for that friendship to be rebuilt.

MG and MS have awesome mother/son chemistry. Their scenes are few and far between lately, but I always love when they happen.

MJ is bat sh!t crazy and I absolutely love it.

I ignored the Shick scenes..It was like watching Lane...

It looked like on today's show the scene between Nick and Phyllis, that Nick had to keep his hands in his pockets to keep from grabbing Phyllis and laying a good liplock on her! Nick telling Phyllis that he still has feelings for her is very foreshadowing!

Also, pay real good attention to Sharon's face whenever Nick talks about Phyllis! The eyerolls and GMAFB looks are hilarious!

Love the MS and MG scenes from yesterday! they definately have a good relationship!

Well, I'm glad Phyllis caught onto Nick and told him coming home was a mistake. I hope she can keep her self-respect in tact and tell that pig where to shove it.

Who am I kidding? Phyllis will probably be his doormat again in a few weeks. She's probably use to the emotional abuse by now. :rolleyes:

It's just that certain time periods in a soap are darker than others. If we see nothing but darkness for the next YEAR, then I'd lend some credence to your statement. But just because we are in a dark "period" doesn't mean it's going to last forever. And some of the elements you cited I don't find ridiculous at all, MAB is simply trying to imitate Bill's style as best she can... consider these similarities with the past using the "ridiculous" elements you pointed out:

1: Back From The Dead- Kay being "dead" after the fire at the sanitarium, Victor in Kansas, etc..

2: Quad Flip-flopping - All I need to do is say LORIE, LANCE, LUCAS, LESLIE... OR TRACI, PATTY, DANNY, LAUREN.... or perhaps OLIVIA, DRU, MACLCOLM, NEIL

3: Cartoon kidnapping... Well, Chris Brooks being held hostage by Rose Deville with plans to be sold into white slavery in South America. WHITE SLAVERY?

4: Art Theft- Not much different thatn the Mob/Tony DiSalvo SL that Paul was involved with, except this SL seems to be pretty short term. It seems like it's startign and ending all within 3 weeks.

I don't why you seem to sh*t on everything this show does.

WTF kid of sloppy writing nonsense is that? Now, all of a sudden, we hear that this doctor threatened Skye and possibly sexually assaulted her? For the couple of episodes we saw her, neither Skye nor Adam implied ANYTHING of the sort happened. This is NOT good writing, guys. This is plot-driven crap that was created only for the sake of progressing an already ridiculous story.

And don't get me started on this horrible art story crap.

This show is just getting worse.

Ok I never was pregnant but don't a pregnant woman can feel the baby move after a while. How will they explain that Ashley doesn't feel the baby moving.

If the baby moved for Jack but didn't for Nick could that mean Jack is the father.

I'll admit I don't like the art story either.... but it seems to be VERY short term story, so I can handle that. I WILL agree about the skye/doctor thing. But I also don't believe in saying the writers or the show is bad because a show that generally very good and exciting to watch has a couple brain farts.

This show has been dark since last August when David Chow and Sabrina were murdered, that's almost a year.

See above.

Does all this ridiculousness have to occur at SAME TIME? Bell's show was never ALL dark, and though he used tons of ridiculous elements, he didn't force it on every storyline at one particular time.

If it were actually written intelligently and diversely, I wouldn't be. The state the show is in currently doesn't make me hopeful, it makes me very worried.

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • 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.
