I'm so glad I chose to stop watching after Molly leaves. I can't in good conscience support a pairing other than Jack and Jennifer, but if they're bound and determined to do it they're going to see the response it gets.

I just have such a bad feeling for this show. I can't shake it. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

I don't have a big problem with Galen Gering. It's not like DAYS has any other great leading men, and he can be charming and likeable at times. The writing just sucks. I think Rafe/Carrie could have been much better and was horribly done from the start.

Shawn Christian is just so sleazy and orange and I have never seen his appeal, aside from one year on ATWT long ago.

I think Daniel and Jennifer were always going to come back, the show just rested them because of the huge backlash they were too stupid to expect. Corday doesn't like Jack, and Melissa Reeves certainly wasn't going along with that pairing.

I see what you mean, and I agree, I just put that on the writing, more than GG. I think he's OK enough, sort of a lesser Drake Hogestyn (Drake Hogestyn of the 80's and early 90's) and I enjoyed what I saw as Fake Rafe.

I didn't click on the spoiler, but I have a bad feeling Tomlin was/is a Dan/Jen fan. Their beginning was so dreadful to watch. Dan has never been part of a good pairing and I think that is a testament to his character, a character that just doesn't work on this show.

I don't think Rafe is or has never been as bad as Daniel. The biggest problem with Rafe has to do with writing and that his character is so bland. I think if they would have explored or written more backstory like using that Emily his former fiancé as some sort of catalyst for him and conflict for he and Sami vs EJ it would have bed better for his character. GG is no Brando or Olivier but he's also not as bad as SC.

Daniel is just a dead end character. This show as someone elswhere mentioned has run through how many so called failed female characters, Arianna, 2 Taylor's, now Madison and have no qualms dumping the actresses but someone like SC gets chance after chance

why?

The story I want for Daniel goes like this. He saves the life of a patient of his and she is extremely grateful. They go out on a couple of dates and he sleeps with her but isn’t interested in proceeding forward with a relationship and discards her as if she meant nothing. She however becomes obsessed with him just as he starts to reunite with Jennifer, which further fuels her fire. She stalks Daniel and does what she can to get him back and when that doesn’t work, she decides she wants to take him out.

Maybe the hospital can throw a big gala event in Lexie’s honor and its there that our psycho makes her move, completely losing it and holding Daniel at gunpoint in front of everyone. Maybe place a bomb or two like Kimberly from Melrose Place. She is eventually stopped after injuring several people, none of which was Daniel. Its not over though as the hospital decides to do some investigating and puts him on suspension while they open a case against him and see that he has a pattern of sleeping with his patients. They view his actions as unethical as this time it put the hospital staff and its reputation in jeopardy. In the end he is fired from his job and he leaves Salem in shame to start over elsewhere.

Crishell could play the psycho

    • @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!
