It was another snoozefest. I turned it off halfway through and deleted the episode. You know Higs is back in the house when Nicole is back up Maggie's behind and involved in the Brady/Tate story. (I know Higs/Quan stuff doesn't start until Sept 6 or something but still, the shift is always obvious to me)

We know they've gone back and re-cut episodes/re-filmed scenes in the past, so it's possible that some material from Higs the horrid  and Quan have started airing already, albeit uncredited....

I have to admit I'm already sick of hearing "Uncle Vic" from Sonny and it's been like a couple of episodes that he's been on. It's been nice not seeing Hope's face.

 

The balance is trash. One day is Jennifer holed up in the hotel, the next is the anticlimatic ending to the kidnapping and then we're back to the people who were on the day before.

 

Oy.

 

This show. My show is such a mess and totally directionless. Nothing matters. There's no stakes. At least Griffith killed Daniel and had Eric go away to prison. Stakes. I hated them, but still.

 

And I'm so over Maggie sobbing.

 

Overtime I've grown to like Jennifer, Maggie and Hope so much less than I used to. I used to love all of them. Now? Blech. Jennifer's not as bad anymore and having Matt Ashford/Jack around has helped. What we saw in the hotel room is what we should have been getting for the entire storyline. Not to mention the Eric angle. Anything promising gets forgotten or dropped. It sucks.

 

/ aimless rant over ....

 

Aww. Claire and Theo :wub:

 

Ciara and Chad would actually work a little better if she wasn't becoming Thomas's mother and Chad's insta-wife. I'm not saying they'd work if they are paired together. I don't want that. But the story itself would be better if the actress playing Ciara didn't still suck a year later.

The only thing to save Hope, Jennifer and Maggie would be to put them in scenes withDoug and Julie and act like a family. Re-work their individual stories over time---actually showing the stories<yeah, Jennifer's 5 episodes over six months that made her a pill-poppin freak. Slow down Hope's stories and stop rushing her into love matches. Can we get through one week without Maggie crying over Bummer and Daniel>

Rafe is good as local cop, not leading man. reignite his drinking buddy friendship with Nicole.

 

Follow through on stories.This is a bloated cast like GH. Arianna Sr. should be recurring, she's either not on for weeks or shoved down our throats every day.Kate needs a good story/romance. If not, let LK leave and go spruce up B&B. She hasn't had anything watchable since Sami left town.

 

What about JJ/Gabi? They're dating---off screen. Bring in Maree Cheatham for a week or two to confront her Grandson's killer and ask her great nephew why he's involved with that Jezebel, Gabi--knocked up by, of all people, her gay nephew(?twice removed?) Cheatham would slay it!

 

Put Sonny in scenes with his best friend Chad. Start to build on Paul/ Sonny over time... and please no smirking Chandler Massey- let them have a problem from Sonny's time in France

 

Just a few suggestions for the PLAN TO SAVE DAYS 2018.....

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
