I can’t stand seeing Passions or JER criticized. That man was my idol, and Passions is my favorite television program of all time. I’m thankful everyday that I got to go along for the ride. 

Too much power? JER didn’t have full creative control until the show moved to DirecTV. At NBC he was hindered by network censors. 

I stopped watching Days in 2006 when JER was fired (or did he quit?). Since then, I’ve never been able to watch more than a year at most.

I started again in 2011 for MarDar, Jack, Carrie, and Austin but stopped when they were all fired less than a year later. 

In 2014 and 2017, I watched the episodes where Eileen returned as my favorite character Susan. 

Tried again in 2018 when Jack returned and lasted until Missy left in late 2020.

Watched both Beyond Salems and the possession episodes for Eileen, Lisa, Christie, and Austin, and I watched again last spring when Eileen returned as Thomas.

I don’t foresee myself watching Days again unless Eileen returns.

Well, he gets both praise & criticism & he provokes strong feelings, both ways. But, it's your problem if you truly cannot tolerate it. I had one fan leave my forum because he couldn't stand thinking that I believe JFP killed Frankie Frame when he thinks she did not. I thought that was crazy but that he had to make his decisions for himself. I live in an 'agree to disagree' world. Soap fans are noted for their many agreements and their disagreements. 

And, as far as JER & power go, arguably he was a better writer when he was part of a team or the co-HW triumvirate with Curlee & Demorest at GL. His bad habits show up when he doesn't have to answer to anyone else from the writer's perspective.

There is an actual Passions thread on here in the Cancelled Soap section, just FYI.

Some were better than others.  It was the color scheme and the large singular picture of the character/actor next to 3 or 4 smaller images of the same picture in different colors that was just weird.  I know there is a name for that technique so I should just show a picture lol.

Liz is actually one of the better ones, but it was the only bumper I could easily find.

Absurd. He was a human being & therefore possibly a creature who had bad habits. And he certainly did! Besides constructive criticism is not an insult. 

He had everyone walking around talking to themselves, relying far too much on "interior monologues". He had days last for weeks. If he decided he wanted a story to last longer he would just use repetitive dialogue & repeat & repeat & repeat instead of writing new material to stretch out his time frame. Anyway, they are widely known.

I have a list of 15 writers who are my favorites. I do not even flinch when someone points out a weakness or criticism.

I had you on Ignore for weeks on end. I just opened you up this week. 

But, I will tell you one thing that it's possible you do not know. Even thought all of this is off-topic. 

YouTube has a current, complete PSSN channel where you can re-watch everything & be surrounded by only fans.

Oh never mind. Those sucked. I meant the B&W, slideshow-esque ones from the late '90s/early 2000s, which I could've sworn also had some yellow.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
