The last two weeks have been amazing with these guys. I really, really wish that CC was staying now to be paired with him, and that Vivian was a foil for the two of them. TPTB are REALLY missing out on a gold mine of possibliities with this one. :(

I could not agree more.

And as for people saying his story with chloe has ruined him, i disagree. first off, i really dont find it to be the worst thing anyone has ever done on this show, or even all that bad all in all. He can totally come back from it IMHO.

Those were some moving scenes today when Maggie Horton "died." Unfortunately, I now know that Maggie will not stay dead (because I watched a promo for the "new and improved" DOOL in September that showed a clip of Maggie--alive and well--interacting with Victor). Thus, all the power of that "death" scene was ruined. (I really don't think I "spoiled" anything here because it is well known that DOOL--in recent times--virtually never keeps a character dead unless its portrayer dies in real life.)

Why is it so hard for DOOL to have a character remain dead? (I know that all soaps have trouble with this, but none moreso than DOOL.) DOOL's complete lack of displicine on this matter is a big reason why it is laughed at and derided by CBS and ABC soap fans.

The problem IMO isn't keeping Maggie dead, it's that they felt they had to go for that cliche in the first place.

Why does every patient have to die then be miraculously be brought back. Why couldn't her blood pressure get dangerously low, find the bleeder, and get on with the deal. It's major surgery - it still would be touch and go even without flatlining on the table.

Hope is looking beautiful lately, and I love that they are all color coordinated. I think DOOL puts thought into how everyone's wardrobe compliments each other and coordinates with the set.

And I have to say the good looking but gangly Chad is turning into quite the handsome man. He suddenly reminds me of Eddie Cibrian a little.

I tend to agree. He's been good/evil/good/evil so many times that I've lost count. Keep him consistently one way or the other, or keep him in the middle (grey), where he's bad but not to the extremes that the character has gone through to torture others who wronged him.

I like James Scott a lot but he's not the great actor many people think he is. He has a lot of charisma, he works extremely well with JM and AZ but he's a huge scenery chewer and not in a good way at times. Its why I chuckle when people comment about actors who can't go toe to toe with him. But overexposure hurts everyone. As much as people bitch and moan about GG and Rafe, he might be boring, but he doesnt chew scenery and the one enjoyable part of the putrid 2 Rafe storyline was his performance as Rafe 2.

I think they believed hooking EJ up with a nice girl would balance out the bad, but the problem is no legitimate female love interest, even a greyer character like Nicole, would have looked at all good themselves accepting some of the things EJ has done to Sami.Rape, making her think her child was dead, and now this stuff is just too much. Its a shame because I think back in 2008/2009 they actually got EJ past the rape and the character seemed a lot greyer. Maybe fans thought EJ was too watered down. Sadly I think Corday himself only sees characters as black or white. Good as lily white and bad as mustache twirling villians. Hopefully the new writers change that.

Yikes at the new style of the next-day-previews. I didn't like the split-second-frame of people's faces in black and white as transitions! Are they trying to send us subliminal messages or something? LOL

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.

      I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!

      that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
