DAYS: August 2017 Discussion Thread

[RavenWhitney]

The Hattie/Bonnie plot is the worst Ron has ever done on any show.  Maybe Quan crafted this story with Higley or Anderson and the producers were committed to it but I doubt it.  The level of stupidity is beyond the pale.  Other stuff he's doing I like but this story (if he's responsible) doesn't bode well for his tenure.

The show under Higley was boring...under RC so far it's just plain stupid.

This is all Ron. Higley's story with Anjelica was the business with the Spectator which Ron dropped right away.

You should have been aware what kind of writer Ron was. You've watched when JER wrote, no?

 

I don't mind it. Just have fun with it. It's not long-term. Heaven forbid we have some campy comedy and some fun. The show's been so dark and boring for so long.

 

I'll take stupid over Higley

The show is so much more watchable. Sorry you aren't enjoying it. Is there ANYTHING you like? lol. Ron better not screw up with Will or you'll be a cranky pants

 

I know it's easy to complain but sometimes the constant negativity gets tiresome. Soaps are shells of their former selves. I don't know what ya'll are looking for. Maybe it's time for a break? So many little things have been improved upon. I could criticize a lot of things but I'll take Ron at his worst over Higley or Tomsell or Griffith any [!@#$%^&*] day of the week.

The  Bold = + 1

 

People have mentioned the pacing in this thread and I wanted to say at the time...did you not see his pacing on GH?

[Soaplovers]

The thing is if Ron really wanted to do a doppelganger story...why not wait till Eileen was committed to coming back so that she could play kristen and Susan.  Why do the hattie/bonnie thing?  The original Anjelica story seemed more in character for her then this lookalike story.

[KMan101]

Because it gives Deidre and Judi something to do. He has a reason for it. It's to give John and Marlena a challenge and it will likely reunite Justin and Adrienne. It's not like it's on 5 days a week.

 

And @Taoboi as of right now his pacing is much better than on GH. But we'll see how long it lasts. I think DAYS has a better group of breakdown and script writers than his GH had.

[Melroser]

Pacing? At least it has a pulse...i mean, pace!

[Juliajms]

The show is more watchable for me. I'm just going with it and having fun as you say.

[Taoboi]

That's good to hear. Gives me hope when I get around to tuning in again.

 

And I agree with your reasons for the doppelganger story. Very sound indeed.

[Sindacco]

The pacing is one of the reasons I don't understand why people keep comparing him to JER. Take away the camp and they are nothing alike.

Episode guarantees also play a part. When you have actors who only get 1 or 2 episodes a week it's harder to create flow. It's been a problem.
