About damn time, she sucked ass as a judge. Nothing against her as a comedienne and talk-show host, but what the hell was she doing on this show anyway? What does she know about the music business?

In fact, I think the entire show is past its prime and needs to go off the air, though it's still the #1 show on television, but it's just living off its past success at this point. I expect things to get worse next season when Simon's gone and planning the US edition of X-Factor.

Wow. Okay. I think it's for the best. I agree that she wasn't the right fit for the show, a great guest host once or twice a season at most. Ellen was (still is?) starting to be a little too *everywhere* for my tastes. I think a little of her goes a very long way.

Last season's contestants were probably the least inspiring group ever and without spacey Paula and now the show's true star Simon out of the picture, the ratings will continue to decline. Simon's who a lot of viewers have stuck with the show for and replacing him is impossible because anyone similarly snarky and rude will be immediately compared, and panned for trying too hard to mimic him.

Wow, this show really wants to die a painful and miserable death...

Just bring on the US edition of X-Factor already, most people who watch Idol watch for Simon's reaction anyway. As SFK pointed out, he's really the star power behind that show, not so much the contestants...

Yeah, there's been talk about dropping Kara and bringing in all manner of new hosts from Nigel Lythgow to Courtney Love. I wonder if they'll consider dropping the four host format and go back to three.

Gotcha, I though he was also being considered as a host. Speaking of, why did they drop that Marie Osmond on crack Mary Murphy from SYTYCD?

How is X-Factor different from America's Got Talent, aren't they pretty much the same show?

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
    • I always wondered if Jackie wasn't going to be recast after being persumed dead... if Marland was going to pair Evie and Justin as a couple reunited in grief over Jackie's death. The one consistent thing I noticed about Evie during those months she was still on the show was that she was kind of a second mother to Phillip after Jackie's 'death' and Elizabeth no longer on the canvas.   But then one of the three interim writer teams decided to pair up Helena with Justin.. which left Evie even less to do than she had at the start of 1983. You're right that Evie was a unique character on the soap.  She was sweet and trusting, yet she had a quiet strength that made it difficult to push her around (at least when the Dobson's were writing her).  The Ben/Amanda/Eve triangle was an interesting triangle because neither of the women were evil... and Ben did have chemistry and a connection with both women.   It had a pretty decent run from 1978/9 to 1982 before Amanda was spun off into her mother's new marriage to Mark as the other woman.
    • Lots of fast-forwarding in today's episode. The best parts were the Lulu and Tracy scenes and Chase in the tank top. And once again, a horrible cliffhanger with Sonny.
    • A very very brief excerpt from a CBS special is up. That's it. @jam6242 Thank you for the lovely Susan article. I adore that photo of her with Denise - such strong yet different personalities on display.  I remember seeing that photo of Denise, Bill and Susan on soap magazines like Afternoon TV. I wonder if they took it or if DAYS did.
    • I think Joss does know the material and maybe just plagiarized some of Emma's data?   Despite all her actions I do think the show pretends Joss is smart and this class is sort of in her new wheelhouse as a degree. Gio playing Carmen was super high pitched to me.  He's a talented musician but that was screechy lol. TBH, we all know I love Sonny to a fault, but I would rather stare at Rebecca Herbst's opening picture for an hour than listen to Sonny and Jason blather on about giving up the mob.  You can't even try to fake me out at this point.
