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.

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "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.)
