LMAO! Nicole called Jenn, the 3 Bs. Bland, boring and bitch! OMG, that was too funny. Jennifer needs to sit her ass down. She's so out of her league its not even funny. I wish the men had just let Nicole kick her scrawny little ass

I somewhat enjoyed DAYS, it was OK, but now I am bummed because there is no soap opera on at 2 PM. wtf :(

Nicole made Daniel look like such an idiot. He needs to sit his ass down too. She completely owned he and little Miss Muffet in that scene. Surprisngly, Jack is the only one on that team that came out okay

Jack and Daniel were also surprisingly good at the beginning. Its obvious their problem is Jennifer. Without her, they seemed perfectly fine

LOVED seeing Will side with EJ over Sami and put his hand on his shoulder. Sami looked livid! LOL. I cant wait for the day Will announces to her that he's in love with EJ and that they are moving in together

Seeing Nicole slam Jennifer reminds me of the old days when Eve Donovan would slam Jennifer. The main putdown Eve had for Jennifer was her stringing along two men (at that time... it was Jack and Frankie.)... some things never change LOL

I actually like the idea of Jennifer/Nicole being rivals... Jennifer needs someone to take her down a peg and no one else seems up to the job.. why not the queen of all snark! TEAM NICOLE!!

Exactly. It's embarrassing to see a middle-aged woman still being treated like a teenager. Having her men come and save her. Other characters addressing this might be a good first step. Now let's have someone point out her horrible washed out hair.

I think the show wants us to root for Jenn but its amazing how many people have turned on her

  • Member

I think the assumption may be that people have turned against her because she doesn't want Jack, but I think a lot of it is down to age-inappropriate material and MR just seeming drained of life.

The Will storyline and Mad/Sami/Kate are the only interesting things to me.

Saw the dan/nic/jen/jack scenes - all could leave town tomorrow and i wouldnt notice they would be gone.

Sami and Will are too much alike for me to invest in both their stories - it's basically the same character with different names. I think the show needs balance. They have just done a poor job setting up most of the other stories. The writing for Alice's secret is especially odd.

As they should be, IMHO. When Will was the anti-Sami it always rang so false. This is much better, and he is interesting. Finally the son of Sami brady shows up. And his relationship with Marlena is amazingly done. The chem CM/DH have is amazingly realistic.

The show needs balance, yes, but what they really need is constant good writing, some stakes at play, character motivation, and stories to have impacts. While a lot of stuff happens on the show, it all seems pointless as nothing seems to actually change.

M&D have done great work with a few characters - Sami is the constantly the best written and most interesting and the most in character she has been in years. Will is interesting. Marlena came back and they worked her into the canvas, giving her strong connections and placed her in many storylines without forcing her at us. Jack, who i hate, has an interesting storyline. Bo & Hope work as a couple for the first time in many, many years. Kate is on point. They have done a so-so job with some others, like Abby, Chad, Melanie, Gabby, EJ, Carrie, Austin but they all need more work and some clear motivations, conflict, or drive. Then there are the characters who just need so much work I wonder if it is worth it - Nicole, Rafe, Daniel, jennifer - just to name a few.

As for the stories, the alice's mystery is interestimg but its so on and off, up and down, and everywhere that its hard to invest in. It also seems not well planned out and like they are making it up as they go - never a good thing to come across on screen even if it is the case. Stefano/Kate & Maggie/Victor were a bright spot in the past few years and now seem lost. The Mad World vs CW story has good moments, but something is just off and making it seem a bore. That john storyline - i dont even know what to say. Beyond awful.

To me Will isn't very interesting. The idea of EJ luring Will into a bad life is interesting, but that's because of the story, not Will. It's not a lot different than when Stefano was doing this to Will a few years ago, except now there's some lip service for his tears of rage over being gay.

I think she most interesting thing about Sami is waiting for when her world is going to fall apart. That, and her relationship with Kate. I think she's too one-note with Marlena and both she and Will are brats.

I think Nicole's a great spark plug character, which DAYS has little of at the moment. Rafe I don't think is that bad - I think he's just dull and gets a lot of flak because people seemed to hate Sami/Rafe. I think he's an OK B-level leading man, and he doesn't have that sleaze which bothers me with Daniel. He kind of reminds me of Drake Hogestyn long ago. I just don't really get the idea of Carrie/Rafe, at least not with these "cute" or "sexy" scenes. Neither actor can play those, and honestly I'm not sure if anyone could.

I would write Jennifer out. I don't see the point in her now. I don't care about Abby either, or most of the teens. The show just seems to keep doing revolving pairings instead of writing for them as characters. Chad is bare bones as a character, which is a shame. Not even getting into the non-character that is Sonny.
