The best/worst Baby Switch Storylines

I really enjoyed the Gwen/Jenn baby switch on ATWT and I didn't think I would in the beginning. They played A LOT of beats in that storyline and integrated much of the cast. I liked how it collided with the Carly/Iris storyline. That was the last time ATWT was truly great for me, though it's showing a lot of promise right now.

I definitely think the Nicole/Sami switch on DAYS was well done. The Hope/Lexie switch, on the other hand, is another story.

AMC dragged the Bianca/Babe switch out forever, partially because everything had to be timed to go along with OLTL's end of the story. I agree with everyone who says characters were sacrificed at the altar of Babe. I thought the Michael Cambias mystery & Bianca's rape/pregnancy that preceded it was much better done. Either way, it wasn't worth it in the end and the payoff was a total waste, since Bianca immediately slipped into a coma.

The Amber/Becky switch on B&B was okay.

And of course, this Ashley/Sharon thing on Y&R is predictable and disgusting.

Tom Langan wrote it. There was the stupid "Vote for the father" thing with John or Stefano and Bo wasn't even an option. It also involved Rolf, his niece Marlo (Rolf killed her by snapping her neck after pushing her down the stairs...WTF). John was thought to be the father because he slept with Princess Gina (Hope). Then it involved Glen and Barb (Glen was Marlo's ex) and they tried to blackmail the Dimeras. There was also the chip in Hope's brain that could turn her back into Princess Gina. It was horrible!

Thankfully Brash and Cwickly ended it and Isaac was revealed to be Bo's.

Tom Langan can suck it. Gary Tomlin just schooled him on how to write a baby switch.

The fact they had Hope sleep with Stefano is beyond repulsive I don't think they even went there with Marlena and Vivian. If I were Hope and had slept with Stefano even though I was Gina or whatever, I would be swimming in an ocean of holy water to try and and cleanse me.

    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.
