I hope Days continues it's rise or at least maintains.

I detest AMC and GH. And I tend to agree with Sarah Bibel. I don't think Franco will do a thing for GH because his general fanbase doesn't watch soaps and has no interest in watching soaps.

I am not hating Y&R like so many here are but there just a no stories grabbing me right now. Normally on a soap you have stories climax at different times. It just seems all the old stories ended at one and the new onces have started up at the same time.

But Days is the must watch soap more than any other. I am really enjoying it.

Here's to Y&R falling heavily again.

Y&R needs a shakeup behind the scenes and badly. Nothing is working, the show is either completely boring, or completely offensive. The horrible writing team at Y&R tries to make up for it with "stunts" and "shock" and "awe" and it never works. The day to day writing and overall dialogue is also horrendous these days. There is no consistency whatsoever at this show.

Try watching GH or AMC for any duration. Talk abot Shock and stunts and bad dialogue. While I don't find Y&R horrible, it's just dull right now. NOthing exciting or peaking now and the climax events they have had like Phillips return and Colleens death have been terribly disappointing.

GH, AMC, and Y&R are all equally horrible, for a variety of reasons, some of which are the same, and same of which are very distinct.

GH usually goes all out with their stunts and spend all their time trying to build to one. On Y&R, everything is filler material until the next death or until the next action from the latest psycho of the month is being executed. They don't build up to anything on Y&R. Sharon and Adam fall in "love" (the actors have NO CHEMISTRY) after only a few weeks of talking, and it takes Chance (who is personality-less and poorly developed as a character) getting stabbed to make Chloe realize that she has "feelings" for him. <_<

There is NO long-term goal or direction for anything on Y&R. This is not how soaps are supposed to be functioned.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
    • Thanks for finding that. I may have been thinking of this blog entry.
