One horrific episode. God, that was terrible.

 

Are we sure that Theo is autistic? Because I swear the "actress" playing Ciara plays her as if she has autism.  Worst. Actress. Ever.

That's what I think sometimes during her scenes. Between her and Joey and viewer just flipping through the channels would think most of the teens on DAYS have autism. 

I have autism, and your post offended me! People with autism are not retarded idiots!

Who used the word retard or idiot? I'm referring to their speech pattern.

Not all people with autism have poor speech patterns!

Why the hell is Julie dragging a crapload of FRAMED pictures to a public restaurant?  She and Doug can't look at their family photos at home...even their new home?

Did Ellen Wheeler and Dave Kreizman write friday's valentine's episode; it was bad, bad, bad.  Reminded me of those awful standalone GL episodes towards the end of its run....except for Julie and Doug...

Maybe this Friday epi was written after Higley went on leave and after NBC read this script decided Griffith couldn't write on his own and called in Milstein stat!..remember how bad YR was under him as sole head...boring, uninspired, mind numbing...that's what this Daysn episode was like, completely tone deaf to any heartfelt emotions or romance.  The directing was horrible as well.

NO ONE said all people with autism have poor speech patterns.

 

i made my original comment about the actress PLAYING Ciara as if she has autism. I then called her the Worst. Actress. Ever.  Get it? Many of us appreciate the actor playing Theo, who gives us a subtle, nuanced, and emotional autistic young man. His portrayal is absolutely respectful to any autistic person.

The actress playing Ciara is just flat-out terrible, as if she's imitating someone (badly) with autism in an attempt to come across as a teen.

 

i never intended my comment as a slur in any way on those with autism.

This isn't the first time Dena Higley did an episode like this. Remember Nicole's film noir fantasy in 2008 that lasted for two whole episodes, and then a month later we got a whole episode of her recapping it. Then in 2011 on fourth of July it was that bad Oscar Movies episode.

That The Fighter fantasy episode was awful. I have yet to see a good fantasy on a soap based off a popular movie

An aside, but Gloria Loring is on Hallmark's Home & Family Facts of Life reunion this morning and she looks amazing.

JPL cut his hair thank god.

JPL cut his hair thank god.

Really? It looks the same to me and he continues to stutter his lines. I guess he thinks thats acting.

Yeah, it was cut. Thank God. His "acting" remains dreadful.

Somebody screencap please.

That was my thought too about Julie and the photos and she said they were not even hers lol what town has couple photos in storage? I really want to know lol

JPL cut his hair thank god.

it's still long and he still looks awful
