It's called difference of opinion. You can beat on your chest all you want on how bad the show is but I disagree with you. If you think the show truly sucks do something about it.

Yeah, Y&RWorldTurner, whatchagonnado? LOL.

You did say IMO, but you also did say that you didn't understand how someone can like it, so we answered.

The part about not seeing how was used to justify why I continue to post my critiques about the show, which loyalists to this show seems to not want me to post.

You won't.

Thankfully, because it sucks, and MAB considers it her "BIG" summer storyline. :rolleyes:

Well then good. I can't believe they all agreed to write this. Don't they feel sick to their stomachs just writing that?

It is grotesque. Yolanda f-cked that boy up good.

Alvin, another thing for you to criticise :

Just did.

Absolutely pathetic.

There's more bad than good on this show, and I'll continue to point that out. I don't care what anyone thinks. :lol:

Invade CBS TV City with tanks and force these incompetent writers to watch this sh!t they're feeding us non-stop. :rolleyes:

It has nothing with you posting your opinion. It has to do with you saying " How can someone like so so ..it sucks....

MG obviously stayed because of this storyline, so now the question is if it was worth losing him just to prevent us from seeing this art crap?

Yep.

Especially for someone who keeps touting on subjectivity...

dmarex is back! Life is all good again!

-Today's show was great - Chancellor's back in motion - Kay knows about Jill losing her money. Seemed like I missed something but Jill tried to sell her half of the manse?

- Jill's a manicurist again!!! Oh boy! I was truly shocked and a bit befuddled. This woman has no assets other than her liquid money and the mansion? Geez..

- Devon and tyra? NOO!!!!!!

- So Violet is the key to unraveling the mystery? I hope they explain how Cane's DNA matched Billy's during the paternity switch. That seems to throw the whole thing off still. This DNA center needs to be shut down!!

- Nina is so on fire. Poor Cane is running to anyone and everyone to get Nina off his back - newsflash - she ain't gonna quit till you're deposed!

- Loved the MJ hallucination with Paul. Mary Williams please come back soon!!! She'd know her daughter at first sight. i think if my sister ever got radical reconstruction I'd know her either way. Father Todd showing up just for that day was weird. I guess they hd booked Corbin for the Paul/Nikki wedding but that fizzled.

- Speaking of Nikki, what's the latest? Is she in or out? somebody say in please!! Even if you don't know just say she's in so I'll be OK!! LOL!

- Glad Neil finally got to do something as CEO of CI. Why isn't he in Jack's face laying down the law for Jabot? I kind of hate that Neil still has to go through Kay to make all these hiring decisions. Can't the man EVER just order somebody to do something like all the other big-wigs?

Yes, which obviously conflicts with my view of this crappy show. So though I know we all have our own opinions, my hatred for the current state of the show prevents me from understanding what's so good about it.

Easy. Phillip was giving Cane his DNA. Right?

I totally forgot how awesome Mary Jane (just like the drug) was today!

I wish they just let MG go instead of forcing this crappy storylines on him.

In fact, all they do is give crappy storylines to their 20's group. It's pathetic.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

Not that there wouldn't have been opportunities! For instance, they could've hired George Takei (there's your ST person) as one of Chao-Li's relatives, who was also after the Nazi treasure. Or they could've hired Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (a.k.a. C3PO and R2D2) as another team out for the gold (and comic relief for the storyline). Heck, they could've even hired none other "Blofeld" himself, Donald Pleasance, as a sworn enemy of Gustav and his father's, who will stop at nothing, including romancing poor Emma, to keep Riebmann from reclaiming the treasure.

I agree. Especially because it happened so damn quickly, with absolutely no breathing room for him, for Cathy, for all of us.
David Jacobs insisted that was the plan all along, but I doubt it. I think they had every intention of keeping Joshua around for years to come, but Michael Filerman and his ego ruined everything.
I'd still love for someone who was there to explain to us what the original intention was for Empire Valley; was it ALWAYS meant to be revealed as an underground spy network? Because, even if that wasn't how it started, it still feels as if they were leading up to something big. Otherwise, why invest so much time in another real estate development scheme? We'd already been there and done that with Lotus Point.

I feel like Days was always going to run into this problem regardless of writing. Days has done a horrible job establishing the next generation of leads. It has relied on Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Kayla, Steve, etc., etc. for far too long. We end up at this point where most of the characters that get significant airtime are boring.
It seems to me the writing team is just too afraid to entirely revamp the show and are doing the bare minimum and coasting along with mediocre material. Because at least it's not as bad and offensive as Ron, right? Let's not rock the boat too much.

OMG I agree! I can't put my finger on it but there's something morbid about it. Same thing for gambling.
Big agree.
Honestly it's been campy from the get-go. If one enjoys it, they should make peace with the fact it's pure camp.
Kat's hat was giving Lindsey McKeon's Marah (GL) vibes when SATC's stylist Patricia Field joined the show.

Madison is such an underdeveloped character - she can be a genius doctor and then a teenager - and the whole relationship with Chelsea is treated as an afterthought. This show has too many characters and too few (talented) writers.
Extra comments:
Greg Vaughn is a pro and a stud, however I don't see where the story is with him and Nicole. There's no stakes, no tension. Mark my words: they will tease a big secret with Kial in the next few months, that's all they can do story-wise.
Speaking of love stories: how grand can these love stories be if the most exciting thing these couples can do is bounce between cafes and book a hotel room? If I see that hotel room one more time, I'll scream. They have a huge problem with sets.
I have liked Vanessa so far but I don't understand what they want to do with her.
While WF was a bust, I'm enjoying the new writing and I'm loving the direction lately. They're experimenting a lot - and succeeding.
Loving Leslie & Marcel.
I literally have no idea what's next for Ashley and Derek. Not that I'm worried at all, but they've been written into a corner. They were isolated before, they're even more isolated now.
I don't see any chemistry between Shanice & Ted. In fact, I don't see any chemistry between Keith's Ted and ANYONE.

I didn't remember her still being in Salem as late as 1979. But I agree, I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

If you can ever visit the Paley Center for TV in NYC, they have a number of 1976 Days eps available in the viewing library, including Amanda during her cancer story

By yrfan1983 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Yeah.
Amanda got pregnant, and (I think) she wasn’t sure if Chris or Greg was the father. But the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic and she had to terminate it. And it sounds like, after that, she decided to just make a go of her marriage to Greg and left Salem with him.
Which was too bad because from what I’ve read, Greg sounds like a real douche 😂😂😂
I wish more of this time period was available to see

Excellent posts @cody_1990 !
There have been a lot of boring couples lately. And a little too much Dimera. I think that all the ingredients are there for a good show, but Paula/Jeanne just need to use them more effectively. And yeah, a few characters do need to be sent packing lol
I’m surprised that they haven’t actually gone over budget, with the amount of characters we’ve seen on screen lately lol
Not yet. This isn’t Ron Carlivati’s show anymore 😂😂😂😂
As for techniques, maybe playing a character as smug or arrogant was one of them.

Have we seen Theo's abs? Otherwise, I'm not sure what acting "technique" they're talking about here... drink less water if shirtless scenes?

What are you currently reading?

Ripley Under Ground unraveled in the last one third. Absolute mess. I enjoyed the first 200 pages, but then it absolutely went off the rails. I can't give it more 5/10 for this reason. Shame.
I will still try the third book in this series.
