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.

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

      And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.

      I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
