You try working on Days for a few years and you'd think Y&R was brilliant too.

Or GH, I believe he was on there too.

I would actually call GH brilliant or well close or having many brilliant moments and dynamics for a part of the time he was on there

are we sure that MAB ass kissing isn't written into contracts? It is probably there in the fine print.

LOL!

To be fair, though, I wouldn't expect Nichols, or anyone, to say, "Hey, this show sux, but it's a paycheck!" Was he a little much w/ the praise and adulation? Probably. But I'd never expect any actor coming aboard to be even lukewarm in their sentiments. After all, this news is supposed to bring viewers to the show, right?

Certainly not on his last run when they tried turning Stefan into a rapist.

Perfectly put.

That was beyond wretched, one of many trashed to prop Nik/Emily.

I don't even know if the writing for Stefan earlier on was that great. His first year was good, but then the Stefan/Katherine stuff which was so dreary, the endlessly stalled, glacial Stefan/Laura relationship, the "I'm his father, no his uncle, no his father, no his uncle" nonsense with Nik, Stefan faking his death for a Luke murder trial, the bizarre Stefan/Chloe storyline with Helena in a catsuit trying to kill psychic friend Chloe...

Stephen was a whole lot better than the writing was most of the time.

Yes and here's hoping he will be again.

Certainly not on his last run when they tried turning Stefan into a rapist.

That's what I was talking about.
