This is very distasteful. I wonder if we will get some ha ha moments over Wes and Brody accidentally killing a child? Why not. Jessica's abuse is nothing more than a bad joke to RC and FV.

I wonder how much United States of Tara they watch.

I also wonder if this will be used to make Brody go psycho so we can be reminded, again, of the superiority of John, Ford, and Cookie Cutter.

But don't you see Khan....Lorraine Broderick was a protege of Agnes's on AMC, who left AMC to write Days, who didn't impress Corday so he fired her, which eventually, years down the road led to the hiring of Dena Higley, which prompted OLTL to hire her as HW, thus she created Tess. IT'S ALL AMC'S FAULT!!!!!

But back on topic....Wes? Really? I'm not waiting in anticipation of seeing BW try play a male personality, she already sucks as Tess and Bess. I can only imagine how badly she'll fumble this stuff.

I can hardly wait to see this for all the wrong train wrecked reasons! :lol: Is she gonna tie her hair up or carry around a Sharpie to draw on facial hair like Cutter like Bess' glasses? I would not at all be surprised if FV/RC went for a homoerotic moment with Wes and Ford (Ford kisses Tess then Wes emerges "Dude! Get off me what are you queer or somethin'? Hey I mean 'not that there's anything wrong with that'...").

I love good soapy camp as much as the next person, but, and maybe this sounds too PC, I really find their dealing with mental health issues as one big joke incredibly offensive. I understand that they want to be provocative and edgy, which is cool, but this is just in really bad taste. It's tough to watch because it's so damn insulting.

You're not being too PC, you're hitting the nail on the head. Other than Shane's bullying, which is continuing, and Brody's breakdown(which was mediocre at best), the show has failed miserably when it comes to mental health stories and handling them the way they should be. In regards to Jessica alone, anytime they revisit the DID, it's simply for the sake of plot.

It's not even about plot that offends me - after all OLTL got a superb plot out of Viki/Niki in 1985 without delving into deep psychology - as it is the way they write this so luridly and they seem to get off on what Jessica goes through. It's not hot or sexy or fun.

      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.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

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

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
