I have three pages of goodness to read through but wanted to comment that while I have tons of issues with Ronald, I do think he's exactly the type of writer that would benefit from being at DAYS. And with Sheri and Ryan "creative consultants" I hope that actually means something. I seriously will take Ron over Higley a hundred times over.

 

As long as the show's still around ...

 

Ugh. This is one of the reasons I hate this man. A gay man can't even write for them. Thanks for killing the tiny bit of happiness I could have gotten out of this bizarre news.

 

But that requires him paying attention. He needs to get off that golf course first ... You give him far too much credit. He NEEDS to pay attention. He doesn't.

I think the problem at GH was twofold: Yeah, that was awful filler Ron should be justly criticized for, but in terms of airtime vs. quality it was also apparently all they could get onscreen. Frank was evidently quite risk-averse after the Kish ratings issues at OLTL, and he made the call back then.

So Frank's why all the gays got were Golden Girls marathons? LOL. Can't say that doesn't surprise me. Ron was writing for them, as bad as the triangle was .... I'll wait and see on this one because he hasn't given me a ton to be thrilled about with his writing for the gays. I'd rather they be off-screen and appear like they do now. You can almost tell with his writing what he didn't want to write (most of it) and that he more or less said "[!@#$%^&*] it" at some point.

Well, a massive fan petition did assist in getting her fired one of those times. Not to mention when the leading lady of the soap opera you just spent three years writing for speaks out against you when she speaks out against next to no one .... Higley puts the H in Hack and I for one am thrilled she's gone from DAYS. FINALLY! We should have been spared the last year and all of this mess. She never should have been brought back.

He never wrote for them. I don't get why anyone would think he would now.   His Kish stuff on OLTL was good but didn't last long and the wedding fiasco on OLTL with Dorian was awful/atrocious!

Good. I hope she keeps to her word. 

 

That aside, they seriously need to dump all the footage in the can and start fresh. Cheap or not, they need to do whatever to regain fans and watching Dena's material all the way to August ain't gonna cut it. 

 

While I don't like Ron, I do think he is vast improvement from Dena. I also think that DAYS might be up his speed. DAYS has always been a campier show than the rest (thanks to JER), so he might do OK. Glad that Sheri will be there to reign his goofy ass in if he gets too out of control.

That Dorian [!@#$%^&*], while not excusable, was never meant to be taken seriously. It should have been but I was never offended or hurt or bothered by it. He's very hit or miss though but I think DAYS is right up his alley so I'm desperate for my show to be entertaining again. It's got all the right materials, the right people, the script writers are good, but the overall direction of the show sucks. If it can maintain a good crew, it will be fine. One of Ron's problems is his poor script writers.

 

LOL sad but true

      Ugh. I genuinely hope not; I pray, somehow, CHCH-DT is told to provide a one-day pause. The last thing we need is a Y&R situation with this soap. I'm pretty sure Samantha is the older twin.

      As usual, Jane Elliot stole the show. GM was good as Gio as were Rena, Dominic, and Amanda.   I also thought the actress that plays Emma was low key, but perfect at the same time-just listening and reacting.

      I'm surprised it took me this long to get into RH. The soap is so damn good, I am just as obsessed with the Ryan's as Delia. The Ryans are a great family unit and seem like good people. I wish I had a family like that. This show has so many parallels to BTG. Frank's mystery is very similar to Martin's. Both are my favorites on each show. adding more thoughts soon once I get a consistent watch going.

      I also get why Gio feels his life was a lie. I get everyone's emotions are high now That's why I think Monica passing will be the catalyst that starts to the healing process for Gio, BLQ, Lois, Tracy, Ned, Olivia and Dante

      Judging by the fact that I was able to watch two episodes today, looks like Canada being a day ahead might be permanent.

      Agreed! I normally don't rate Amanda Setton that highly as an actress, but she knocked those scenes out of the park. Between this and the Michael storyline, I think we're in for a week of juicy drama. I heard everyone talking about how dull Rory Gibson was on Y&R, but I thought he was pretty good today playing a steelier version of Michael. And I loved Wiley's little "Bye mommy!" moment. The writers clearly know how much most of us hate Willow if they're tossing out little nuggets of schadenfreude like that one.

      Slower day, but not bad. I thought Tomas was at his personal best today, flirting with Kat at Uptown.  Hayley is pregnant!  Oh boy... Samantha felt more like the babysitter today vs. the young sister. I'm ready to meet Sharon. I want a strong dynamic so it's not a repeat of what we just saw with Tracy's reunion.

      They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before.

      I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
