I haven't given up but I don't watch everyday anymore. I think Monday and Tuesday were solid shows and I see "some" small signs of improvement. I'm afraid to hope however that any improvement is permanent.

I think Rex can be redeemed if he kills Stacy. Otherwise, they need to realize that they are fast approaching the point of no return.

She's wasn't good on GL. I know that for a fact. She was just as horrible as she is now. The only difference is that she was surrounded or carried by stronger actors on GL, on OLTL she's simply making the lesser actors look good such as JPL, FF, and heck even that kid that plays Shane.

Me too... and I'm a guy. The music building up to it was very moving. I REALLY was annoyed by them but I'm now realizing it was the writing. I'm going to miss Kathy and Chris VERY much and I sincerely hope they return some day to more decent writing.

They ruined Marcie with the baby stories. And all for nothing. The saddest part of her goodbye is she's outacting nearly everyone who is being left behind to carry the show.

At least she's leaving with some dignity.

Those scenes with John and Michael were so weird. Michael kept trying to give John the details about the car that he (John) was supposed to sell. But they mostly acted like they had discussed everything on the phone the night before, and of course John HAD to be in court for Cole even though his brother (his only real family) was about to move across the country later that night. RC really doesn't know how to write families and their interactions. I guess that's why the Buchanans are vanishing into the woodwork.

The oddest part of the scenes:

Bo: Hey, Matthew's playing the keyboard!

Nora: I have to go see Clint.

Bo: Bring Clint with you!

Ask him to leave his granddaughter's funeral because Matthew's playing the keyboard?

I guess it was just a continuity error. Otherwise most of the episode was good.

Going by this clip, Farah Fath's acting hasn't improved in the past five years. I didn't notice at the time, which suggests the key to Farah's success on OLTL is to hire Eric Winter and have him appear half-naked in every scene.

    • "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.)
