I'm liking Days right now, and have liked it for the most part since the strike. There seems to be almost an obsessive dislike of Higley on the boards. I think she did some good things on OLTL and some really bad things. From my own point of view, I watched it when she was writer and don't watch it now. As far as Days, I watch it now and had not watched it in a long time until about two years ago. HS was writing when I started watchnig again and it was decent. I think someone right now is doing something right on Days, and I'm liking the show.

I'm not enjoying Y&R much right now because of the Adam/Ashley storyline and the lame baby swap story. I do think the show has good fundamentals though. Much of the cast is very familiar, and with the exception of Adam has believable heroes/heroines and villains. I do think killing off Colleen was pointless, and the end to the Patty Douglass story was weird. Adam has become a cartoon character and the entire story that has focused on him is silly IMO. It is unfortunate about Adam because I think the actor is really good and the conflict between Adam, Victor, Nick and Victoria was a good story initially IMO.

Actually, that's no worse than GL.

That show really was dead, eh?

I expect that LMAD will do much worse than GL, though.

    • The baby was named when Roman was believed to be her father.
    • I gotta agree with Sami on this one. I mean, not enough to sell the kid on the black market (pun intended) but.. At least it wasn't John who suggested it, that makes it cleaner.
    • Yea, at that time many people were complaining about replacing vet middle aged women with new character middle aged women...like Rauch and writers just ran out of ideas on how to write for anyone but that old bag Reva (sorry, loved Kimmer in her prime, but never understood why the ageist misogynist Rauch and Company made her goddess of love when her expiration date was long past...) We got Selena over Nola (but really so he could fire Fiona for their Zaz vendetta) and Carmen over Van.  But both Van and Nola got the last laugh, Van's wedding centering the last episodes and Nola returning for it and throwing a quick diss to the Coopers.     
    • The Dalton story reeks of 10 rewrites.
    • Belle is indeed named after Isabella. It was Roman's idea. Courtesy the Oct. 22, 1993 synopsis found on Jason's site: "Roman suggests to Marlena that they call the baby Isabella and Marlena agrees. Sami isn't too happy when she overhears it but when they ask John he loves the idea. They toast to Isabella Brady."
    • Engaging for a moment with the topic with titan, Jill is a skilled line producer who maneuvered herself well and leveraged key veterans at various shows for maximized award potential even with lousy stories or taste. But she's never been the creative she fancied herself to be without talented writers behind her, and as an OLTL fan it was fitting to see her knocked down in power and influence after she nearly destroyed GH, the ABC flagship, in under a year when left to her own devices. (Megan McTavish may be insane but her comments about Jill and having to grudgingly write in Kale Browne three days a week at her behest were funny.) Like a lot of the industry she's got certain skills, but she also has a faded bag of tricks that has been mouldering since 1992. Which is a part of why it was such a hoot to see Jill appear out of the shadows like a leviathan in that video. Of course she's at it again. Who will be the next blonde white chick named Courtney in 2026? Riveting stuff for Gen Z.
    • Kat vs Eva is so complex because this feud goes beyond the typical 'good sister/bad sister' trope employed on soaps.  And the gist of the feud goes back to their father with Kat so insecure over not being the only daughter that she's going to lengths even Eva wouldn't go to in order to remove her sister. Kat is just like her aunt Dani in this regards (i.e. going too far even if in the right).
    • Just to confirm, Belle isn't named for Isabella Toscano, correct?  It would be nuts for John to name his daughter after his dead wife, after he wound up with Marlena, right? For example, I would think it uncouth if Joe Biden named a child he had with Jill Biden, after his first wife Neilia, who died tragically.

      I was reading her wiki, when the thought came to mind.  But, I also have a vague memory that Belle was named after Beauty and the Beast's Belle, or some other lore. And Rachel's named after Kristen's mother, so this seems wrong.
    • I was thisclose to taking Kat's side today because of all that unnecessary bashing from Martin and Eva... but then Kat just had to open her mouth to Eva
