I know!! When I heard that, "WTF" was my reaction! Unless, Anthony Morina fucked up the directing/staging.

And I'm so not down with Victor getting Colleen's heart. This is like the anti-BJ/Maxie story. That story was so powerful and moving while this is just sick and wrong. Heart transplant stories are suppose to be heartbreaking (no pun intended) and uplifting at the same time.

Compared to the two previous ones, this one will probably have very little impact or aftermath, though Out of Latham's Ass really had no aftermath at all. Though it was a more elaborate stunt they wasted tons of money on, and it still looked like crap and was horrendous story-wise.

Beth Maitland knows this is probably her swan song, no matter how much the story/writing sucks, she still at least tries. That cannot be said for many of her co-stars.

A hand drawn IOU in Ashley's uterus which will be discovered by Dr. Taylor at Adam's behest after bartering the key to her chastity belt from Gloria & Deacon who find it in Tom's lock box under a bottle of Hi Karate & an Emerson, Lake & Palmer Greatest Hits 8 track.

I think Victor is the cat's meow. But that is because he is a rotten bastard.

After the way he TORTURED poor Colleen since Brad died, nobody wants him to have that heart. Instead, they like the karma he's getting.

The only way this story could work is if Victor emerges a "new man". But that is a guaranteed fail. Look how much the audience liked sweet, brain-damaged Victor.

They don't write stories like Maxie-/BJ anymore. :(

There's no emotional value in this story, it's just crass and nasty. Now the girl Victor indirectly caused the death of and the girl whose life he tried to make hell during her last months alive is going to have her heart transplanted into Victor. Nevermind Colleen's death was a useless and meaningless death of a core character, but this story is just nasty and there's no one we have left to root for. At least people wanted Maxie to get better, this whole storyline has caused so much damage to Victor, that I can't muster any feeling for him.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Can I just say how exciting and interesting this sounds...I think this would bring the ratings way up and bring in 1/2 million viewers in a single week and have them hang around on the edge of their seats. Don't you think so?! :lol:

I still think there is a seismatic shift coming (ok, not that seismatic..but an earth tremor...don't know when but something is on its way. Someone is playing chess! Though I don't know if when it does I will still be banging my head against the wall or hysterically laughing.

LOL. And...

LMFAO!

And this is just downright lazy of them if this is a directing/writing clash. If they had already shot the scenes in the hospital and then went on-location to do the rest, Tony Morina and/or John Fisher being the SUPERVISING PRODUCERS should have paid attention to the script and noted what people were saying in the hospital. And Rauch should have known better also.

If this was a case where the location stuff was shot first and then the hospital stuff...hello, break out your pastel paper and make some line changes to reflect what was actually shot!

This just goes to show that not even the BTS people are reading or caring about these scripts anymore. Anything for a buck.

Why do people think this is Beth's swan song?! As I said before, most of Traci's recent returns have had NOTHING to do with Colleen, so how will Colleen's death have any effect on Traci's future appearances at all? She still has three siblings in the contract cast. Whenever Jack, Ashley or Billy has a wedding or there is a Jabot board meeting, Traci will be there.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
