THIS was a hilarious scene though, because it took place during the cameo business. Before she officially joined the squad again, Taylor was running around trying to prove Rafe had killed her mother and she confronted Hope on the pier. Hope shouted "I'VE BEEN DEPUTIZED!" and tried to stop Taylor.

You know, as bad as a lot of Higley's stuff was, I do kinda miss her DAYS sometimes, purely in a "so bad it's good" kind of way. It was so plot-driven and campy and cheap and unintentionally hilarious you just sometimes couldn't take your eyes off the screen.

Kind of like a car wreck in slow motion

I loved her Days. It didnt take itself too seriously. There's no humor on current Days

That's sort of what really bugged me. When MarDar came in, they insisted that their show would be "lighter", and sure it was, but in the wrong way.

I do think there is some humour on DAYS currently but...it's not the same.

I showed one of my non-soap-watching friends the episode of Parker's baptism, and was told at the end "So THAT'S why you watch soaps! I can dig this!", I don't think she'd ever be able to sit through an episode of the show right now. And for exactly the reason you mentioned.

Having said this, DAYS hasn't been this solid in a long time.

He's doing what he thinks is best for the baby, to be part of a stable family with him and Gabi. It's not meant to hurt Will. When one person sues another person for custody, does that make them a villain? It's true that Nick is homophobic, but he doesn't hate Will.

No, it is done to hurt will. He's blackmailing him to take his child that he wants from him so that nick can have what he wants. Sure, he thinks what he's doing is best, but that's what makes him such a compelling villain. Again, much like the villains on days in the 90s. He's doing what he needs to do to get what he wants for what he believes to be a good reason, to hell with who he has to hurt in the process.

For Days fans who don't watch GH, I've been LIVING for this storyline that's giving me cameo realness. Watch this clip and you'll see what I mean. It's almost as if the spirit of Dena Higley is there:

Lol, YES!

Wish I could see it. Too bad I'm Canadian and they get to pick and choose who gets to see it.

I hate what they are doing to Chloe. She was really despicable with Abby. I can't believe Abby didn't throw the hooker thing in her face.

Chloe being a calculating bitch is nothing new - Hogan Sheffer gave her that facet in 2008 or so. Chloe being cruel is new though. I'd like to think its the effect on her psyche of being forced into prostitution. The show never dealth with that, because Higley was writing at the time - 'nuff said. I'd like to think there is now a river of damage, hurt and rage bottled up in Chloe because of it, battling to get out. Abby pushed and Chloe unleashed. I hope the show explores that angle, since it never did before and logically I can't see how it could magically go away.

As for Abby - she was subdued by Chloe. Nothing Chloe said wasn't true - heck most of us have written that on these boards what she said. Sometimes the truth is so painful, especially when its so obvious and the recipient is so unaware, that it subdues one verbally/puts them on the defensive. I thought it was well played, acted and written.

Who wrote those scenes? Salmons or Ford? I watched them more than once.

Basically the Quatermaines are trying to locate a missing recipe for relish. Which has resulted in "relish" being said on the show as often as "cameo" was said on Days, if not more.

I don't watch GH, but between this, vampires and the Ian Buchannan fake mask thing, I think I am understanding why so many people who loved Days under JER now love GH and are bored with DOOL. Of course since I am no expert on GH, I may be speaking out of turn.

Totally. Although GH is so disjointed, it was more frustrating to watch than JER Days. The irony for me is that I prefer my GH to be more like DAYS is currently (a la Labine), and my DAYS to be more like my GH (a la JER (version 1, at least). But such is life, I suppose. You demand what you were raised on. I don't think I'd want DAYS to get too crazy though, no matter what happens.

THANK YOU. I saw the beginning of that whole thing, but got bored pretty quickly. Yeah, it seemed really...goofy. Though the cameo was totally not intentional, which somehow makes it better. I'm not sure how though. hahah.

I grew up on JER version 1 and that's what got me hooked on soaps. But my sensibilities and tastes have evolved over the years, and I find that style of show unappealing now. The current incarnation of DAYS really appeals to me now (although I am sure I would have found it boring as a teen).

Everything Chloe said to Abby was true though..I was cheering her on.

I guess I didn't think it was true. Jack is dead and to me, he can't be betrayed because he no longer exists. Jen does, so obviously Abby should be on her side and look out for her.
