Members Vee Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 They're both talented actors and his body is amazing, but the Austin/Summer insta-storyline is so beyond rote for daytime of the decade - unexpectedly hot recurring player is a rapist/psycho, but she sees the good in him! - and the super-schmaltzy 'let's celebrate all the seasons while we still can!' tripe goes back to ancient crud like Sweet November. Every time I see them come onscreen with their giant-ass set all to themselves I want to kill myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Donna Swajeski and Anna Cascio could be good choices. Both are soap veterans and could breathe some life into y and r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hell no. Donna Swajeski sucked the life out of Guiding Light and All My Children. And from what I've heard, she only had a successful run on AW because Harding Lemay wrote long story before being fired. And I thought Jean was your girl? Have you finally seen the light?

Members cassadine1991 Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Anna Cascio seriously?? And about Donna Swajeski, only ONE successful run and two duds not a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 OMG, they played an old Y&R score during the closing segments of the Friday episode (Phyllis, Sharon, Mariah, Ian scenes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think Jean again would be better suited for days. It's more her show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LondonScribe Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 I heard it and thought I imagined it. The fact it's markedly different from the stuff heard in the majority by Cates and co was a giveaway. I never understood (and have only heard one plausible reason) why the old scores were completely scrapped. Even during LML era, there were still bits of old music there. I'm thinking the scene where Neil discovered Carmen's body. But this was sudden and jarring. Is it the beginning of a process of slowly re-integrating tiny pieces of classical scores? I doubt it, sadly. If for no other reason, I believe, because it would show how inferior the material is now. And Jonny, as daft as some of Ken Corday's decisions can be, I don't believe he would put the future of the show in jeapordy by letting Jean Passanante anywhere near Days Of Our Lives.

Members dm. Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 And then they went ahead and ruined it with Mariah having the hots for Nick. (Thankfully, their kiss isn't visible.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
