And P. S. Brothers & Sisters showrunners are (or were) two of the best and mot promising writers that came from that crapfest Charmed, two women who came from academia... But boy, that show, even though it gives me enjoyment, isn't what it was supposed to be when the creator was there.

Turn on the Ignore function and skip my posts.

And by the way, my post doesn't imply that I favour trash over family drama. Quite the opposite. But familial issues & slow-moving, touching, realistic stories, at this point, will not attract your audience.

True. But there is one family that exist as a big family unit---the Winters when they all appear in the same episode in some sort of a gathering and then they're not seen for two weeks when they have another gathering (a.k.a isolation).

THERE is the difference between me and you. Cast/Walton/Cooper ARE just sensational right now, the SL is keeping me on the edge of my seat, and Haiduk being so good is a bonus. I feel that if the show has PARTS that are fabulous, then the show is fabulous.... I can ignore the parts that I don't like...I've been doing it for 35 damn years now! You seem to think if only part of the show it's good, then it's crap as a whole. Typical pessimist. You rmeind me of my brother, he HATES the network ID bugs in the corner of the screen, so much so that if a movie he wants to see airs on a network that has one, he'll not watch it. He claims he can't enjoy it unless it's PERFECT. Also reminds me of people who'll throw away an apple with a bruise on the side, instead of eating the other half that's good.

Where is the difference here? :unsure: The difference might be in the epithet: I wouldn't really call it sensational. The stories these are in.

If I am an idealist and want the whole show to be good, with only possible minor annoyances, then that's my problem.

Oh, please! It's not a part, it's like 95% of this show and more!

But you fell into a trap. Predictably and easily. I am not a frustrated, mean, pessimistic, annoying, "negative" as people here try to depict me. I can totally deal with that because I don't care what those people say. It's actually amusing.

Me wanting a show to be good does not equal me being neurotic, psychotic and frustrated because it's not perfect. Huge difference.

I don't know why they're prolonging it, I guess there's just no inspiration there left. We've been harping for months that Phick and Shack must end, but it looks as if that won't happen anytime soon.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
