Sonny is boring. Why can't lucas tell his son he's acting like an overgrown baby. Sonny needs a story without Will same as Will got without Sonny. I think Freddie has charisma but he's more like Wills father than his future love interest. Will is way too immature for him.

This whole who killed Stefano is like who cares. Really there is no spark or sense of urgency or interest to it

And bangs are awful on women as they age. It just drags their faces down particularly with longer hair. Ali and Ari look so much better with softer hair styles.

EJ looks asinine in a track suit

Dr. Perv needs to leave town.

Ugh wake me when MarDar leaves. This show is so f-cking boring.

What the hell is it with Nicole being so scared of EJ? She was ride or die for his ass even after he was involved with her mother's death but is scared of her baby's future bc he f-cked Sami? :rolleyes:

Ugh! Victor and Maggie havent been seen since she left him WEEKS ago

Still no Billie in sight and with Stefano dead, there goes her storyline. I wish they had her leading up the murder investigation instead of Mumbles.

Will being a dick made no sense after his breakthrough with Sami last week. I dont get this show

Nicole has been getting this parternity test for months

Showcasing less of the Victor/Maggie pairing is one of the things I did like under M&D. I hate them as a couple because Maggie emasculated Victor. I want to see Victor [greek accent]Kiriakis[/greek accent] again and not this ballsless Victor.

What a mess! Is it wrong that a part of me doesn't care? Somewhere along the way, I lost interest in them as a couple. I hope their story is eventually resolved and then they both go their separate ways. I could totally do without a reunion.

The writing for Nicole is just all wrong right now.

When Marlena eerily glanced back at the red outfit she was wearing the night of Stefano's death and quickly tugged it away when John entered the room again, I felt some spark! Hopefully she's the killer! LOL

Magic was something the old regime did right, and MarDar tried to completely ruin them. Thank God they were off our screen most of the time so they didn't suffer the depth of damage other couples did. Looking forward to getting them back on track with the new team.

i think keeping victor victor and keeping maggie with him is a very natural, internal conflict they could face, and both should be changed. victor a little less evil, but still himself, and maggie a little less sweet & flowers & sunshine & love 24/7. M&D only know how to write for a few characters - namely will, marlena, sami, perhaps kate, stefano, carrie could be argued for - but fail so hard at everyone else, not to mention their awful, boring, stories. i cant wait for their stuff to stop airing.

I wouldn't even agree on Stefano or Will.

It's hard to say, as some of their stuff in the first few months seemed to vanish without a trace (whether that's good or bad is up to the individual), but I just never felt like they knew how to pace a soap. You can say that about everyone, but the fallout for the EJ/Sami sex was just incredibly poor.

I think that was the real issue. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bet almost everything that made it to air sounded pretty great on paper. A big umbrella storyline in which John is framed for pension fraud and Carrie defends him, pitting her against Austin! Jack returns but has PTSD! Will's fear over revealing his sexuality manifests as aggression toward his mother! Kate restarts Countess Wilhelmina and gets into a corporate war with a bold young woman who gets involved with Brady! It all sounds promising, but the execution was by-and-large so rudimentary and choppy.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
