Well they had started writing Stefano as a non cartoon with no interests in the Brady's and Blacks anymore..but then they [!@#$%^&*] all over that.

And that frustrates me more than anything, too. Whenever DAYS does evolve even slightly, KC panics, because in his '80's-thinking mind, losing a few decimal points in the ratings is equivalent to the sky falling; and we all end up being subjected to yet one more mea culpa interview where he "admits" he screwed up followed by the unveiling of his latest Plan to Save DAYS. Either no one has the guts to tell him not to pull the trigger (again) right away when changes are being made (ratings loss is inevitable, but don't run for [!@#$%^&*] cover after one damn month), or he simply doesn't believe them.

HA HA! I don't even watch this show, but I know Stefano died a couple times. First thing I thought was, "he'll be back".

A couple times? Stefano has "died" and come back so many times, all Morris the Cat can do at this point is just shake his head in amazement. And it's that invincibility, coupled with the fact that putting a cap in his fat ass NOW after all the [!@#$%^&*] he has stirred over the past two decades comes across as a big, honkin' case of "too little, too late," that makes this whole storyline absolutely pointless. I mean, forget about whatever else MarDar did or didn't do as long as they held the HW'ing reins, the fact that they thought shooting Stefano DiMera would have any impact at all on DAYS' audience more than justifies showing them the door.

Not bad.

Bingo and all you have read the past 2 to 3 years is how Stefano has been neutered, he's no longer written in character by folks that want him mired in the past continuing to chase and terrorize Marlena, like that's must see TV anymore. I liked Stefano in recent years. Did I like him as EJ sounding board for his revolving door of love interests no but I think the DiMeras worked as a family unit for a time and Stefano being given a tad of humanity had something to do with that.

IA. I loved the writing for Stefano pre-MarDar

who cares? it will have no impact.

I care because Lexie will probably die before her Father comes back.

I'll be honest: I think the DiMeras should have been phased out long ago. I want DAYS to get back to "real" people dealing with real, relatable problems, which is not going to happen so long as OTT characters like EJ and Stefano remain on the canvas.

AMEN! But most don't remember the DAYS of a Salem with people like Alex Marshall, Gwen Davies, Marie Horton, Mickey & Maggie Horton, Melissa Horton, Liz Chandler, Dr. Neil Curtis, Julie & Doug Williams, Tom & Alice Horton, Eugene, and Calliope.

I care because Lexie will probably die before her Father comes back.

And this was a HUGE mistake. Stefano should have died after Lexie and Mascolo & Jones DEFINITELY should have been given a chance to play out those good bye scenes.

I truly don't understand the thinking behind it. I was never a huge MarDar hater but it's in their last few months that I've started scratching my head at a lot of their decisions...
