This is just one of the issues with their insane shooting schedule - the younger new cast just never have any chance to to keep up. It's like throwing a baby in the water. Of course, there's hopeless cases like Jovanni, but the production doesn't help.

 

 

He's really desperate to keep his job I guess.

 

to the last part

 

And agreed on the first part. The younger ones just can't really keep up. I can imagine daytime being VERY overwhelming to a newbie. It's just not the same as it used to be when soaps had a real budget.

 what's the deal with Tripp? His mom is dead and long gone as far as we know. The boy needs to get over it.

Yeah, makes zero sense since she didn't raise him and had nothing to do with him.

I am surprised that Dena would make that mistake, since she has been with DAYS for so long.  Then again, Dena has always been a terrible writer.  Her material in 2003 remains the worst stuff I have ever seen on daytime.  And she has never seemed to be too concerned with the show's history--at least not the parts that she didn't like to begin with or didn't care about.

Even now 14 years later it still suprises me to see people say Dena's material in 2003 was the worst. Yeah it was boring, but it was not close to being as destructive or insulting like some other time periods. Maybe because she was only head writing for five months and didn't have time to go there, but still.

Agreed. It left a lot to be desired but was nothing like this last stint and even the one before that. I really do think she came back to the show and wrote it as one big FU to the fans who got her fired the last time. JMO. I know some don't agree with that.

Does anyone know why Ron's first episode was a Wednesday? It seems odd for him to have started midweek rather than on a Monday...

Judging by the history if the Anjelica character...is it in character she would go the route of doing these doppelgangers?  Her trying to ruin the Spectacle, etc seemed more like the characters M.O....imho.

Agreed. I don't really see the need to have her wrangle all these dopplegangers to do her bidding. And Bonnie was never supposed to look like Adrienne, she was her own character, like Josh Taylor as Roman. It's lead to some fun comedy and Judi Evans and Dee Hall are clearly having a ball but meh ... at least he's getting his doppleganger fix out of the way now I guess. Fairchild is only around until Aug or Sept so it's not like it will be super long I guess.

 

Looks like Anjelica and Justin will FINALLY cross paths and Hattie will drug Marlena and lock her in a sanitarium. SOD has a picture of Mar in a straight jacket. And it looks like Tripp will confess and confront Kayla soon, so at least things are HAPPENING.

Wow, Bonnie and Hattie.....doppelgängers all around! I wanted Ron to bring back crazy-DAYS and he sure isn't wasting anytime. I like it. 😄 Also like that the show has funny elements again ("bisexual disorder," Hattie not knowing what door to go out).

I've been waiting for your opinion.

Lord that spoiler.....LOLOL....RC inherited the right soap.....and glad that the other spoiler story will end soon too. I thought it was dumb.

Watching Ron's first day I will say... the lines are sharper and bitchier. It's entertaining, if a bit stupid.

"Trashy" is even better.

 

This is stupid, bit hey, over Dena? I'll take it. God damn I'll take it.

Trashy is good too!

 

Stupid vs Boring(Dena's Days)...hmmm.......LOL

I mean Anjelica's plan just doesn't make sense - but does it have to make sense?

 

And finally Marcy Miller gets to play Abby a bit snappier and she pulls it off!
