They do Will/Sonny/Marlena/Sami well & thats about it

I would agree about Marlena but Sami and Will are all over the place.

I also think we might see more of Maggie if they hadn't screwed up so badly with Daniel (to the point where they had to write him out for a month) and if Molly Burnett hadn't had to take time off because of a family tragedy. But tying her to those characters long-term was a bad idea anyway.

They were all tied together anyway. The "stolen egg" story didn't need to happen, and just gave a layer of ick to the Melanie/Nathan history.

They have good story IDEAS, but don't know of to develop them into a well paced story. They don't know how to play the beats and the day-to-day writing/pacing is TERRIBLE. There are good moments, but overall the show is a little flat. If I didn't enjoy these characters and the very basic characterizations, I wouldn't be able to watch. They need to be paired with an experienced CO-HW.

Apparently that was based on what the actors requested, although it was done in a pathetic way, with zero followthrough.

As Sophia would say...man thats something you dont hear......lol..

I actually didnt mind Higley's run. She wasnt perfect but I wasnt bored out of my mind when watching. I thought her exectution was much better

They really need to hire Sheri Anderson. Probably she is the only one that could save DAYS.

Talking about a mess...whatever happened to the Alice storyline? If it was only about john and hope being married, these writers should be ashamed of how stupid they really are. All that pathetic build up for that..

I like it.

What I find interminably boring are thread titles that offer up a personal premise, then ask for "opinions on the show".

I'm not sure if it's about viewing history. Even the show itself basically said there were problems - Melissa Reeves spoke of rewrites, and Shawn Christian said they sent his character away because the character was so damaged.

Exactly how I feel. The stories look good on paper, but they just fall flat on screen.

I am really enjoying Marlena under MarDar and her scenes with Will & Sami. Sami has been much easier to watch under MarDar than Hogan or Dena. I'm still wanting Old Sami back.

I'm also enjoying the Austin/Abby/Carrie madness. Although, I feel like MarDar have skipped a lot of beats that would have made the storyline much more interesting.

Everything else is either boring or stupid. I wish the Culliton's would take over.

I'm enjoying it. I stopped watching completely under Tomlin as his work was just plain horrible, and focused on characters I couldn't care less about. The writing now is by no means perfect, but I know and like most of the characters featured, therefore I care what happens enough to overlook any writing problems.
