I hope so.

I agree - the Hortons should not accept Magic, though Hope should be on the fence considering how well Victor has always treated her. There is such a natural drama there and I'm hoping the new writers will see that. Maggie is not a push-over nor is she pure as the driven snow, so getting some of that Irish temper to remind the Horton women she's her own person would be nice to see. Serving tea and cookies has gone on for too long.

Didn't Victor used to have some sort of issue with Hope? Like he didn't approve of her? I'm guessing like back in the 80's or something. I distinctly remember when Hope "died" in the avalanche in early 1996 and word got out that she had perished, Victor said something to the effect that "even though they never saw eye-to-eye" he felt genuinely sorry for Bo.

I hope Maggie is less condescending to Victor. Its one thing that annoyed me about her this year with how judgemental she gets, almost like she treats him like a child. No she shouldnt be supporting all he does and turning a blind eye but at the same time they need to strike a balance with her so that it doesnt look like she's always talking down to him.

Good point. It's like a mother scolding her son for taking a cookie out the jar and spoiling his dinner. Maggie, and Victor are better than that crap.

I have to disagree about Melanie. I don't at ALL feel like she's being wedged into every single storyline. She's playing a supporting role in the Carly storyline, since it involves both of her parents, and she's playing a very supporting role in this feud story where it pertains to Brady, one of her close friends, and Maggie, who's a mother figure to her. It's not like the entire story has been made about Melanie. She and Dario certainly don't have a story of their own, either. I feel she's being played as the epitome of a supporting character right now.

I'm really liking Chad and Sonny as a potential couple.

Me too! Two episodes was all it took to display surprising chemistry that I thought might never be there. They were great, and far more compatible with each other than the young and unsophisticated Will.

Oh I like Will too. Will and Sonny have great chemistry. I do hope that they do include Chad to form the triangle. I just dont know how they could explain Chad being gay though. How many girls has he been with?? I'm just not seeing anything with Chad and Will. I just see them as great friends. I see more potential with Chad/Sonny or Will/Sonny pairing.

Looks like the Gloved Hand One has returned!

Who was the gloved hand the last time? I remember seeing that but don't recall who it was.

Not to get off topic, but are Phillip & Belle more popular than I realized? I came across a video for them on YT that has over 29 MILLION views

Link please!

Oh man Martha and JKJ were smoking hot...DAYS had an awesome Quadrangle getting ready and as usual fucked it up..I loved bitchy Chloe back then.

ITA. Martha and JKJ had a ton of chemistry. One of my favorite scenes of them was when they were talking in the church the day after John's funeral. Another great Phelle scene was them on the boat in Tinda Lau (it was an intense/emotional scene). I wish I could find those scenes. Yeah, the setup for Chloe/Phillip/Belle/Shawn was pretty good. Then the strike happened!

It was EJ.

TB/Taylor looked flawless in that outfit, I loved that orange color on her. Her hair also looked good. That's about it. The story with her & Quinn is boring to me and I hate how she's lying to Bo & Hope. Not good at all!

I agree.

She is playing a supporting role in stories involving people she loves. This is how i wish young characters and newbies would be written. She isnt driving a story, a story isnt being built around her, she is reacting to stories involving her mother, father, and Maggie.

I just love Melanie & Molly Burnett, period. ;-)

me too, but i am SO glad that Melanie is in a supporting role now. She was leading a lot for quite a bit of time, so taking a step back to supporting is nice. Its how it should be done.

Yeah, I definitely agree and I hope Marlene & Darrell maintain this style of writing with her. Also hope Melanie can find love with someone else. I wish Dario's days weren't numbered.

Speaking of Marlene and Darrell, did everyone hear that they each made new Facebooks on Monday so fans could add them? I think it's really cool that they did that and I love that they ask questions to the fans & also (mostly) respond back to people who post on their walls. Pretty cool.

I've never had an issue with Melanie either. Even her marriage was more about Phloe than herself. I find her the right blend of support and firecracker.

IMO all characters should be rotating in and out of lead/supporting. That's why Sami Brady drives me crazy, and why I'm afeared with the return of John and Marlena that they will eat the canvas again. I left because too much attention was being given to them and no one else seemed to lead anything. Without the DH2, other vets were able to step forward and I'm concerned about what will happen to Magic, and to a lesser extend, State. Maggie has naturally taken over the role of Matriarch of this show. Will that be given to Marlena now? Especially since Maggie technically doesn't have any of her descendants on the canvas but Marlena will have almost all of hers.

I know there is a great deal of excitement about the 'Days Reboot', but if this is just the 90's with a different wardrobe, I don't see the point of sticking around.

I agree.

She ruins every scene she is in with overacting and pathetic attempts to userp the spotlight from far more talented pros. Granted you could say its Dena's fault; but the character has been whiny shrill and annoyingly in your face since she debuted. How every male character seems to fall for her is mind boggling.

I really hope she gets written out. Nicole said it best about Melanie. "Everyone thinks she is just darling, but she's really she's just a bitch."
