I have to give Quigley writing team the benefit of the doubt with the Stefano plot.  It seems to me that NBC had control of the stories through Griffith and that's why Higley left after six months and didn't return until Griffith was gone.  Griffith and Corday probably wrote the stupid Stefano murder, and I have to say if Quigley can undo the damage in some way, I'll accept it.  Under Griffith, everyone was a murder including Joey.  He was just the worst.  I'm enjoying more of the show.  It's campy and melodramatic and the writing, sets, lighting and costumes have all improved and except for Ciara, Joey and Theo, most of the acting is stellar.  

 

But someone tell me:  does Zucker snort some hot pepper or something in order to cry and sniffle cause her nose was so red. LOL

The sets and lighting look the same to me. All the stories are a hot mess.

I don't see any camp in it. The Theo story is just stupid and so is the acting. Sonny and Paul are a hot mess. Why are they both acting like they've never dated or been bfs before?

The pointlessSonny/Paul  at arms length is supposed to be because Paul feels guilty. Sonny took time away and got over it, but apparently Paul sees things like Will's diploma and ?retracts? himself. It must also mean it's his fault Ben killed Will(not really , but you know what I mean)

 

I hope Paul and Derrick are banging while off-screen, or there is absolutely nothing worth watching until they actually...HAVE A SINCERE CONVERSATION...(ATTN HIGS IF YOU ARE READING!)

What was the point of bringing back Derrick? I knew it was the same [!@#$%^&*] from the writers.

Active discussion really isn't your strong point, is it?

It's so funny that now they're all skeptical about Stefano being alive. Um, how about he had a doppleganger get shot while he lived his life elsewhere? How about he was wearing a bullet proof vest?

 

I mean the writing on this show is atrocious.

How will the show bring Stefano back from the dead if JM is dead? Will they drop the storyline or recast Stefano?

I don't know. I don't know if Joe taped anything before his death (I'd guess no). What's airing now was filmed around June I think.

The show tapes 6 months in advance so this was already handled. They dont know what the future holds, but it does seem tacky to kill off Stefano, bring him back only to have him be killed off again

Maybe they just have him live on like B&B did with Sally Spectra? His shadow always looming. But I sort of wish they handle it. It's too bad a real writer didn't pen his farewell storyline. It could have been so well done.

I am guessing they didn't like the way Stefano died last year so they are giving him a "proper death" 

Deimos: "Dont you think its rather presumptuous of you to assume you get temporary custody?"

 

Nancy: "Dont you think its rather presumptuous of you to insert yourself into a conversation that is none of your business?"

I put out praise and criticism of a show but when folks only have one note negative comments I wonder why they are watching.  When Griffith took days to the dark side I tuned out and stopped commenting. Now I'm tuning in and find things to like and dislike.  So there VEE

Can someone smack the smug grin off Rafe's face? Lawd I'm back to loathing him.

 

I'll be positive in that I like whenever Paul and Sonny share scenes together. The chemistry is finally there, the longing is there. I hope it gets some more airtime soon.

 

I love Nancy putting Deimos in his place but she sounded lame coming up with excuses to keep Nicole away from the child (and Nancy knows of course so that explains it, and I know what she's going to do next week .... sigh). I know it's all for the plot so Nicole can be heartbroken but sheesh.

 

And I know Nicole has no reason to really even suspect Holly is hers but why couldn't she have been the one to put all of this together instead of Deimos and Brady? I feel like the REAL Nicole could have figured this out while swirling a martini in one hand.

 

Can Lastovic cut his hair? I guess not because I've seen recent pictures and he still has it long.

 

Oh, nice! Real Andrews is on today I miss him. Man he looks like Bryton on Y&R ....

The only highlight in today's episode was Nancy. I love Nancy putting shady Deimos in his place. The baby drama's with Nicole/Chloe and Jade/Joey are atrocious. Days makes it hard to find anything positive to praise.

Right there with ya victoria foxton! Beyond sick of baby stories on soaps!

 

And to respond to the "negative" thing. It's called an opinion. We all have them. Many just don't like the show's writing at the moment. Why should we only post praise? So we should just shut up? It works both ways. I'm not going to stop posting or watching. I love this show and want it to be the best it can be. I won't apologize for that.

 

It's so nice to see Marlena finally interact with Brady! See ... that's positive
