Nice banner! Is this our last full month of Higley?

Not technically. I mean, her stories will be in play until September. But they'll be rewritten starting August 19th. Last full month of all her insanity though.

Wow, that's a lot of material left to watch. Sheesh. :/

Even if the "rewritten material" is just one clip of Taylor getting punched in the face looped over and over, I'll be thrilled.

I've watched for a week now and have been bored out of my mind.

The only thing that interested me was Will....Sonny and a shirtless Brady.

I know. Guza and Higley were fired within 24 hours but GH viewers will get Wolf's material at the end of July, while DAYS fans has to wait until the end of September. It's not fair!

The bigger numbers are in September anyways. Right now Days is bleeding in the ratings though.

I do feel this 3-months-ahead thing is WAY too much. How are you supposed to be in touch with your audience, make necessary changes, see how things are going when you've already moved 60 episodes ahead? Then, again, who says that they do that? lol

I believe Port Charles used to shoot 6 months in advance. It was crazy

Another damn WCTH spinoff??

I get casting Deidre Hall since she was the closest NBCD had to a superstar by that point, but CZP and (RIP) Charleson were stretches for me. Were Susan Lucci and Melody Thomas Scott unavailable or something, lol?

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

Not that there wouldn't have been opportunities! For instance, they could've hired George Takei (there's your ST person) as one of Chao-Li's relatives, who was also after the Nazi treasure. Or they could've hired Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (a.k.a. C3PO and R2D2) as another team out for the gold (and comic relief for the storyline). Heck, they could've even hired none other "Blofeld" himself, Donald Pleasance, as a sworn enemy of Gustav and his father's, who will stop at nothing, including romancing poor Emma, to keep Riebmann from reclaiming the treasure.

I agree. Especially because it happened so damn quickly, with absolutely no breathing room for him, for Cathy, for all of us.
David Jacobs insisted that was the plan all along, but I doubt it. I think they had every intention of keeping Joshua around for years to come, but Michael Filerman and his ego ruined everything.
I'd still love for someone who was there to explain to us what the original intention was for Empire Valley; was it ALWAYS meant to be revealed as an underground spy network? Because, even if that wasn't how it started, it still feels as if they were leading up to something big. Otherwise, why invest so much time in another real estate development scheme? We'd already been there and done that with Lotus Point.

I feel like Days was always going to run into this problem regardless of writing. Days has done a horrible job establishing the next generation of leads. It has relied on Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Kayla, Steve, etc., etc. for far too long. We end up at this point where most of the characters that get significant airtime are boring.
It seems to me the writing team is just too afraid to entirely revamp the show and are doing the bare minimum and coasting along with mediocre material. Because at least it's not as bad and offensive as Ron, right? Let's not rock the boat too much.

OMG I agree! I can't put my finger on it but there's something morbid about it. Same thing for gambling.
Big agree.
Honestly it's been campy from the get-go. If one enjoys it, they should make peace with the fact it's pure camp.
Kat's hat was giving Lindsey McKeon's Marah (GL) vibes when SATC's stylist Patricia Field joined the show.

Madison is such an underdeveloped character - she can be a genius doctor and then a teenager - and the whole relationship with Chelsea is treated as an afterthought. This show has too many characters and too few (talented) writers.
Extra comments:
Greg Vaughn is a pro and a stud, however I don't see where the story is with him and Nicole. There's no stakes, no tension. Mark my words: they will tease a big secret with Kial in the next few months, that's all they can do story-wise.
Speaking of love stories: how grand can these love stories be if the most exciting thing these couples can do is bounce between cafes and book a hotel room? If I see that hotel room one more time, I'll scream. They have a huge problem with sets.
I have liked Vanessa so far but I don't understand what they want to do with her.
While WF was a bust, I'm enjoying the new writing and I'm loving the direction lately. They're experimenting a lot - and succeeding.
Loving Leslie & Marcel.
I literally have no idea what's next for Ashley and Derek. Not that I'm worried at all, but they've been written into a corner. They were isolated before, they're even more isolated now.
I don't see any chemistry between Shanice & Ted. In fact, I don't see any chemistry between Keith's Ted and ANYONE.

I didn't remember her still being in Salem as late as 1979. But I agree, I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

If you can ever visit the Paley Center for TV in NYC, they have a number of 1976 Days eps available in the viewing library, including Amanda during her cancer story

Yeah.
Amanda got pregnant, and (I think) she wasn’t sure if Chris or Greg was the father. But the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic and she had to terminate it. And it sounds like, after that, she decided to just make a go of her marriage to Greg and left Salem with him.
Which was too bad because from what I’ve read, Greg sounds like a real douche 😂😂😂
I wish more of this time period was available to see

Excellent posts @cody_1990 !
There have been a lot of boring couples lately. And a little too much Dimera. I think that all the ingredients are there for a good show, but Paula/Jeanne just need to use them more effectively. And yeah, a few characters do need to be sent packing lol
I’m surprised that they haven’t actually gone over budget, with the amount of characters we’ve seen on screen lately lol
Not yet. This isn’t Ron Carlivati’s show anymore 😂😂😂😂
As for techniques, maybe playing a character as smug or arrogant was one of them.
