Days of our Lives = Must See TV


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I stopped watching soaps 3 years ago because of work/and the shows just weren't good anymore. Just recently started watching Days of our Lives again and it's unreal how good this show is day in and day out. They got all that history they can play around with because of all these vets being back on the show. It's like the good ole days again, your all into the show and then they come off the last comercial only to show closing credits and your like "aw man" lol.

This show is a trainwrek... it reminds me of the finals days of AMC, a lot of familiar faces acting way out of character. To think, so many of these players were on the week of Alice Horton's death, which was the last time that this show really felt like DOOL to me.

The worst offender, Carrie Brady. On of my longtime, favourite actresses/character not being able to make it through a scene without looking like an idiot.

There is no one else to blame except the writers.

DAYS is so much better than it has been in the past. Every story isn't perfect but overall the show is very entertaining and I think MarDar are doing a pretty decent job. There have been times in the past when the show was unwatchable (JER's 2nd stint/Most of Dena Higley) but that can't be said for what is happening now. The Will story is just stellar and I am really enjoying the Austin/Carrie/Rafe/Sami/Abigail story. On a scale from 1-10 I definitely give the show a solid 7.

I love it myself. Thanks for getting old grumps rowd up on here. They are so predictable. Esp the coattail riding of the animated pics. Im just glad it's worth one going out there way to post something like that.

It's all good. What's good for one isn't for all. Im very entertained day in and day out. I respect every one's opinions though.

I agree i seen it at its worst before. It is good, it could use some tuning up in area but overall its good. I for one respect your opinion, Why do the fans with the PhDs in soaps think their opinions have to be everyone else opinions as well?? Glad you created this thread, it shows their are fans out there who are not constantly bickering about something and have something positive to say.

I disagree with the OP but I also disagree with a lot of the responses here. This is not AMC in its final days, this is not a hollowed-out soap like GL or AMC became at the end. This is a show that could still easily be great and all of the elements are there to make it great, but the writing just isn't. It's still watchable and has its core intact but it's just not interesting. Having its core intact puts it instantly above GH or Y&R though.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
