Yes. Characters are being dumbed down to make this story play out. Why didn't Vikki call the cops on the spot? The painting wouldn't have disappeared. It would have been confiscated by the feds and deemed a forgery. Why would Daniel consider putting himself at the scene of the crime, instead of calling the feds and reporting what Jana found out? Why didn't Jana confide in Victoria? They could have called the feds and backed up Daniel's story. That thug has a lot less chance of hurting Daniel with the Newman's and the feds in on the situation.

The only time MG had serious chemistry with a woman was CK or DS Lily. And the only time AH Vicky had chemistry with a man was with Nick or Adam.

MG's best chemistry is with GR. It would have been fascinating if Daniel & Kevin realized their feelings for each other were not platonic. I think that could have been amazing.

Ok so either

A) I'm supposed to sympathize with the fact that Victoria and Daniel are so desperate for a storyline they do the stupidest things to initiate drama?

--------------------------------or------------------------------------------

B ) I'm not supposed to care about this art storyline

Loved the MarJane/Jack "blindman's-bluff" scene today, well done she's a crazy mess. SH is playingher perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what she will do and if Jack would catch a clue. Loved how SH transitioned from confident/seductive/mysterious facade to almost emotionally fickle by the time Jack left

Loved the Adam/Ashley scenes. CE man, if it were left upto me to just watch and determine why I would have never guessed. He is absolutely owning this character loved the dynamic and chemistry that is developing between Adam/Ashley.

They could have done the old standby where a sexually confused Daniel goes to Sharon for answers, and sex. Imagine Phyllis' reaction.

Since Sharon is now all about sex, maybe they could have her become a sex therapist.

And I won't argue with any of that, A - really, truly, sincerely. I totally get where you're coming from, and while it doesn't bother me so much, I do completely understand why it does bother you, and respect that.

I just can't call it Passions. ;)

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
