Don't care about Genie or Laura, but why let that old fool dictate SL? Genie can be on the show and L/L can co parent. Is Geary afraid too many will want L/L? Is he afraid no one will give 2 sh!ts about Luke if Laura is around? Why can't Genie be on canvas w/o Geary? Geary's interference in SLs has gone too damn far!

Exactly. Why can't Luke and Laura co-exist? Because too many stans would keep begging them to reunite?

Sooo tired of Geary. I can't believe we're being subjected to watching him play out some ridiculous fantasy of Luke being some psycho monster. But then wait!!! He had a messed up childhood! So it makes everything OK!!

Sigh.

Which is awful and sad. The me of 1996 would have so been down with a storyline exploring Luke and Bobbie's childhoods. But that was back when she hadn't truly gone over the surgery edge yet and he was still near the top of his game. Oh and Riche would have maybe had a more delicate touch and some taste while producing it.

As much as I'm not enjoying the show, I can't blame Frank and Ron for how I feel about Luke. Geary pretty much made me hate Luke nearly a decade ago, and now I just don't care what's wrong with Luke.

I am not his biggest fan of late but I frankly don't believe Tony would ever block Genie's return, or continued stay on GH. I'm not even convinced he'd block a Luke/Laura reunion - he has said in the last year he'd go for it if it was "done right." And I don't think that's what that quote from Genie says, either.

Tony has a lot of stupid ideas and says a lot of stupid things, especially in the last 10+ years, and his performance in this story is awful and embarrassing. But he's also, publicly at least, been very gracious towards Genie and has always given her major credit for their success. I think much of what he's said about Luke and Laura and their life together in the last decade is wrongheaded and immature, but I don't think Tony, the actor, would ever stand in the way of her return or try to push back against that major of a story element when he knows the tide and history is simply against him. I also think Ron Carlivati (and Frank), for all their faults, will not rest until they reunite them. It's been on Ron's mind since Day 1 when he had Starr and Cole sing LNL's praises on the way to town. LNL goes beyond Tony insisting on improv'ing Luke drinking on-set - it's something big enough that FV would exert pressure.

I know there was apparently a personal reason Genie had to leave so abruptly, but I think part of the reason she's still gone has less to do with Tony himself and more to do with money and the show's unwillingness to come to terms with her on a financial level somewhat on par with TG. I think they were hoping they could get Genie Francis on recurring, the way they tried to do Tristan Rogers. Not gonna happen. Pay up.

Tony has said before that Luke and Laura are the past and that there fans are living in the past. Im sorry but who the hell is he to diss fans like that. This isnt 1981. You lost relevancy decades ago

    • Thank you! I feel the exact same way. Xander and EJ are great villains. This moment between Xander and Philip as been building since November. It was ugly, it was horrible, but it was real. Not some Nickelodeon b.s. that this show has constantly served for years. Now, a big part of why I like these characters are the actors who portray them. They are dynamic, charismatic, and genuinely talented. They actually feel like the new Stefano and Victor, but without being carbon copies. They are their own messed up, villainous, bastards. There are multiple characters in their corner and against them at any given time. Both good and fellow bad people in the community praising and damning them. The show feels like a soap opera again. And crazy as it is to say, I'm even more excited to watch it then I am Beyond the Gates most days, and that's saying a lot. As for Stephanie's book, they're keeping me intrigued wondering where it's going. Bringing in Kate was a genius move. However, I'm still Abigail Klein's biggest hater on this board. Generic Barbie is literally the Sofia Mattsson of DAYS to me, just a complete wash of an actress. However, I think her being a PR person is a damp squib of a profession and since we're stuck with her this could be a way of finally getting her away from her "successful firm."
    • I find the black & white episodes FAR more atmospheric and spooky than the color episodes.   The first few months of Dark Shadows move ploddingly slow when you're binge-watching, with entirely too much repetition and exposition.  But as someone noted above, it's the only time in the show when you get much character development.  After the 1795 sequence, it's pretty much like "just make something up; nobody cares."   The series essentially became self-parody with the overload of monsters & ghoulies.  I was watching a scene one time in which the Witch was attempting to stop the Phoenix from staking the Vampire, and I got tickled at the absurdity of three "monsters" in one scene.  
    • So cool!!!   And that picture is fierce!!!    
    • Just glancing through, it does remind me that I really need to catch up. Sounds like the new writing team have been off to a good start.    
    • Loved Katie's reaction to seeing Philip beaten up and near death.
    • I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.
    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
