I have no agenda against DAYS. I’m enjoying it a lot since Ron C took over. I just don’t think it’s THAT good (nor would I expect it to be) and I don’t think it’s close yet in quality to Y&R.

 

And clearly, we ARE talking about it, so I don’t know what your lecture is about. You ask “Who cares if some of us aren’t happy with it?” Huh? If that’s the case, why have a board at all? 

 

I’ve said before that you’re entitled to your opinions. I never said you weren’t, yet you’re again repeating that. I don’t need to “learn a little bit” on how to talk to other posters I disagree with. While I might criticize someone’s opinion of the show, you’re criticizing me. Just remember that. 

 

If you don’t like my posting style, fine. You don’t have to read my posts. If I criticized your posts, I’d be less harsh about your response here. I just don’t get why you or anyone has to speak for the entire board.

 

i have NO problem with you or any other poster here, KMan. None. If you don’t want to read my posts, it’s easy to block me.

You’re taking things way too personally. I don’t need to block you. But i was responding to you and those who say they like the show as it is now and that’s great all I did was try to suggest posting about what’s great instead of lecturing and a few other posters chimed in to say they like the show too but they implied they seemed afraid to post what they liked so that’s all I was doing was  saying who cares if some of us complain, post anyway about what you like, why is the negativity a deterrent. We all have our likes and dislikes and sometimes you don’t seem respectful of that but it seems my attempt at advice rubbed you wrong and you took it as a lecture (that was far from a lecture) so my mistake for attempting to engage. Sorry to have bothered you. My intentions were very much misunderstood by you. Hope you have a nice day.

 

 

I love the Dina and Ashley stuff. I liked seeing strong Sharon and Alice but not the story itself. The Cane/Juliet/Lily Story has lost any momentum it had and now I couldn’t care less. The Nick/Victor feud is stupid and makes them both look awful.

I didn’t take anything too personally. You’re the one who claims I have some agenda against DAYS. You say you were “trying to suggest.”  I saw it as a lecture. You weren’t just attempting to engage, so please don’t embarrass yourself by distorting what your intentions were. Besides, perception is reality. I get to decide how your post reads to me.

 

You were forceful and pretty harsh, and I was forceful and pretty harsh in return. Now you’re acting as if I completely misunderstood your entire post.

 

I didn’t.

 

You did not bother me. I’m not crazy about the passive/aggressive stuff in your last posts to me, but you have the right to do it your way — just as I do. I will take to heart that I try to be more respectful of others. I don’t intentionally try to take others down. But if your perception is that I’m disrespectful, I have to evaluate what I’m writing here.

 

 I’m not the awful person you seem to think I am. You probably despise Trump as much as I do.

 

Enjoy your week, and let’s hope Y&R has a solid week, too.

Not everything reads as how we take it on the internet but that's OK. I said what I said and you said what you said. I still have no real issue with you, I do NOT think you are awful, and yes I really was just trying to engage but feel free to take it however you want to (no one likes anyone else pointing out how they are perceived, myself included I suppose, so I understand you took it as a lecture), that's the right you have. I don't always go about it the best of ways and there was nothing I'm "embarrassed" about, not trying to distort or backtrack. I speak my mind, as do you, whether anyone likes it or not. We are who we are. lol. I do apologize because I wasn't necessarily respectful, which is what I was pointing out to you, so that makes me a hypocrite I suppose. LOL.

 

And yep, I do hate the current White House resident as much as you do. THAT'S embarrassment right there. LOL

 

Let's just hope the soaps can improve. I don't have much faith in MY, considering he's been the producer of Sussman's writing, but who knows? Miracles can happen, I suppose.

 

Sorry about the 'agenda' thing towards DAYS. I'm willing to admit I read you wrong on that one. But I still find it highly more entertaining and interesting to me than the current Y&R.

 

Anyway, I'm sure no one else gives a flying [!@#$%^&*] about this, lol, so moving on ...

I wish they'd end it!

The last 5 min or so of the episode was pre-empted.  Dina collapses and then pre-emption. I don't think we missed much because in today's show it starts off with Graham leaving a collapsed Dina in the hotel room.

Todays episode was a nice continuation of the Abbott family drama. Loved having PB, BM, and ED all in long meaningful scenes today. 

 

Today it became more clear that Scott and Abby are SSM/MY end game, something I've suspected since Scott went to work for Victor.

@Hunk Chandler Massey The big miss on Scott - not nearly enough time with Lauren - to get his personality showing - more like to give him one because he's very 2-dimensional. While Sharon's return to normal has been helped by Scott, he still feel like a new character - not a legacy character who was at the center of one of Y&R's most iconic stories.

 

Scott could literally not be shown again - without explanation - and have zero impact on the show: Lauren would keep showing up for meetings with Phyllis; Sharon would be involved with her kids and Nick; Abby would be at Newman or navigating the Ashley drama; the sex-ring - yeah that could disappear with him.
