Members beebs Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 Compared to the past year, this has been high art. As someone said before,MarDar committed the biggest sin of all: they were boring. This past week has moved at lightning pace, but it's felt more alive than Days has in a long time. Characters are interacting again in an organic way (Daniel and Cameron should have absolutely been in work scenes together at the hospital before now), and I'm seeing less and less of that blasted town square. It's nice to have, but I'm glad they're using other sets again. I also think they're wrapping up this EJ being framed story rather well, under the circumstances. It's a lousy story, but something like that doesn't just get sorted overnight, and I think TomSell are trying to use it to set up something good down the road. I think the main thing I'm liking right now is simply that everything has direction again. It's hard to get excited about a story when it's either going to disappear for 6 months and get resolved in one episode, never to be referenced again, or have all the action happen offscreen.

Administrator Toups Posted August 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 28, 2012 Agreed. Couldn't stand Maggie today either. Glad to see Blake/Nick back. I've always thought Blake was a pretty good actor. It was nice to see a Hope/Nick scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 Did Will just call Sonny a ho? He's positive Sonny moved on cause he saw Brian wipe cream off of Sonny's face? Is that third base for the gays of Salem? Why is Sonny so hung up on Will? Stop turning down Brian, Sonny take him up on his offer, move on! Maybe next time, Brian should try wearing a blond wig and see is Sonny turns him down then. And Gabi's line to T about Arizona's immigration laws was awfully....random.

Members Cheap21 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Nicole thinks Daniel could be her soulmate and is now fighting to get him to be with her? PUKE! Maggie vs Julie over Nick is like Grandma Wars the sequel I cant believe the new writers are completely ignoring the stuff the previous writers did like the fact that Jen and Jack were divorced. Everyone is referring to Jack as Jennifer's husband, when they were engaged to be married and never tied the knot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 well its too late for that as they are using Maggie as their mother/grandmother more than the old writers ever did This was all within one episode. She has no shame I am so glad he is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yep, Maggie Horton is officially dead. May this red headed c*nt burn in the depths of hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm glad Maggie is backing her grand daughter here. Because she is right. The Hortons should not be bullying Melanie to stay silent for Nick's hearing. She should be able to say her piece of mind and do what she wants to do about the situation that effects her, since she was the victim in that situation. She should not be worrying about if she is going to lose the love of her extended family over something Nick did to her in the first place. They are unbelievable and Julie can point those sharp Cruelle De Vil shaped eyebrows towards people as much as she wants. I honestly, couldn't care less if she is offended.

Members Bright Eyes Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 The problem is Melanie NEVER felt like a victim at the hands of Nick, ever. This is a stupid rewrite to prop the bitch and it's ruining Maggie in the process. On the positive side, the only really unwatchable thing happening right now is Daniel / Nicole, which is just pathetic. Everything else I'm finding enjoyment in.

Members beebs Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Really? To be honest, this stuff happened just before I started watching, so I don't remember what went down between Nick and Melanie. Fill me in anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I swear they just showed a flashback the other day where Melanie hugged Nick and forgave him for everything. She even spoke at his sentencing on his behalf... Nice to see Kate mention Will..It'd be nice to actually see that relationship. Auntie Wars between Julie and Maggie is the most Itheyve given Julie to do in years, I'm pleased. Maggie sucks though. Go AWAY. Glad to see Sonny punch T in the face. Nic and Daniel will continue to be FF material. I'm glad we got a glimpse of the old Nicole though in her brief scene with Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I get the idea that the story is supposed to be about Melanie's fragility and how she's projecting her pain on to what happened with Nick. They've written Nick as being remorseful and never suggested he is a ticking time bomb. I think the story is that ultimately Melanie will realize she has to move past what happened with Andrea. I'm just sorry they have done a poor job showing Maggie's position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
