I don't think Ron's original OLTL and GH stories were boring and I expected Days to be more exciting, fun and dramatic. And riskier. The show has to stop bringing the same people back all the time and invest in some new, interesting characters. Characters, not just some out of work name actors as uninspired love interests for the usual suspects.

 

I love Kassie DePaiva, but I don't think she works as Eve, or that Eve is really needed.

Why does Chloe keep coming back all the time? What is so fascinating about her?

The gays are boring and miserable. One of them should be less sugary.

Justin and Adrienne were popular for three years three decades ago. The show has enough retired supercouples from that era. 

I really don't understand why Brady and Rafe are still around. 

Chad doesn't convince me as a DiMera. Not to mention that Chad does not sound DiMera at all. 

Eric and Jennifer look miserable together. 

 

Oh and please stop the actors from choosing their own clothes. Kate Roberts would not style herself like that. 

even though I personally am enjoying the show.....you nailed every single point of where the show needs to improve.

I was originally caught all the way up with the show but now I’m 9 episodes behind again. Are there any episodes from the bunch worth saving and watching before I delete them all?

 

This Thursday's was well worth watching for Steve and Kayla's scenes - really emotional.

I've gotta admit, and it makes me sad to say, but I've lost interest (in all the soaps)

Ron’s not a boring writer? Could’ve fooled me. This stuff I’m seeing is wretched, compounded by the horrible production values and dated look. 

 

RC gets the blame for these stories, no one else. This might not be the worst the show has been, but it’s pretty close.

 

He's boring now. He wasn't exactly boring on OLTL or GH. So it's a DAYS problem and we want to know what's going on. You don't like him, we get it. Blah blah blah.

Many of these are his same old stories repeated he's done over and over. That's on Ron. There was a reason he was fired from GH.

 

I was never as bored out of my mind (not that everything was good or exciting, so to speak), even if I didn't like a lot of it. And ReRon shouldn't surprise anyone. He did the same from OLTL to GH.

+1 no lies here (especially on the wardrobe and wondering why Brady and Rafe are still around)

 

I can understand being tired of the constant returns of some, it does get a bit old that they're killed off and brought back sixteen thousand times, but they shouldn't be offed to begin with so I often give them a pass when they do that, lol. I'd accept Jack back in a heartbeat and I'll gladly forget he was crushed by an elevator.

 

I think there are a bunch of characters who should be on the show leading things. Mike, Philip, Shawn, Belle, Carrie, Sarah Horton, Stephanie, Jeremy, Chelsea ... amongst others, should not be off the canvas. I'd also like to see more pop-ins by a few other vets.

 

But I can kind of agree with the sentiment of stopping relying on these returns so much but there's a LOT of characters I wish were back on the show. lol. But I get it.

 

I'd like newer people too not connected to every family on the show but they do a terrible job, ten years later, who is Rafe besides a smug douchebag?. Have they REALLY done that great of a job with, say, Gabi (and she's had much better development, but I still lack truly giving a [!@#$%^&*] about her)? Look at Stefan. Except he's, of course, connected to the DiMera's and is not really being developed, IMHO. He's being wasted already, just like many numerous former soap hires. They box characters into a specific role and then seem to struggle when they need to break them out of said role, so the actor is fired and the character's out. It'll happen again. Shoving him into Chabby's orbit right off the bat in the most obvious story ever wasn't smart. I don't care at all that Stefan's obsessed with Abby five seconds after meeting her. I mean .... COME ON.

 

Ron can do better (and worse). So why does DAYS have such a problem with compelling storylines? I keep blaming budget and episode guarantees and taping schedules. I stand by that. Not that Ron's off the hook, but something seems to be stopping DAYS from ever really taking risks or being bolder or being, well, exciting. There's no momentum. Stories get played two episodes out of the week. There's a lot that needs fixing.

 

I like Kassie. I don't mind her as Eve. I never saw Charlotte Ross beisdes in clips and old episodes on YouTube and obviously I'd prefer her hands down, would have especially with the JJ affair, but I don't mind Kassie. She gives her all and can act (of course for some, YMMV) so I guess I give it a pass. But do I think she was necessary at the moment? Probably not. I'd have found a different use for her. She can serve a few purposes, but would we want to see Eve go after Justin/Adrienne, who just got out of the Lucas triangle. But then Brady/Eve feels repetitive of some of his relationships so it's hard to give a [!@#$%^&*]. I agree she probably wasn't needed but they could have had her go after Eric instead just to piss Jennifer off. IDK. More things besides being manhandled and thinking it's a big turn on. But as I suggest things, I keep circling around to 'not needed'.

I don't know if you're a fan of Steve and Kayla or not, but unless you hate them, I would watch their scenes from this Thursday. Really good  emotional stuff and not the usual goofy crap we get from Ron.

Haven't watched in a good while: can anyone given me an update on Vivian? Has Louise Sorel's stint been wrapped? Did she get lots to do?

She's been given literally nothing to do, really. Currently she's scheming against Sonny. Yes, Vivian Alamain is being wasted scheming against Papa Bear Kiriakis. Ridiculous. I'm not watching so I don't know the story particulars but Vivian I guess has hired Greg Rikaart's Leo to go after Sonny or some [!@#$%^&*].

 

Yep. No wonder Louise was disappointed. Unless they have Abby kill her, which I've been fearing.

Yeah, she hired Leo to seduce Sonny.

Yeah considering Sonny is no match/threat for Vivian.

Nope.

 

Anjelica going after Sonny maybe could have worked (if she weren't dead). But even then who'd waste their time on him? lol

Vivian to Paul: (Staring for a long time at Paul) Well...hello there!

 

Vivian to Kate: I see you took my advice and found yourself a masseur

 

Kate to Vivian: He's gay Vivian

 

Vivian to Kate: Right!!

 

 

That was the best part of the whole week!

For someone not even watching the show, you sure can be condescending.

 

Look, I DON’T like Ron’s work at DAYS. If you want to blame production and guarantees and leave Ron off the hook, have at it. I think a decent writer would know what he’s facing at DAYS and deal with it. He’s not new at this.

 

I enjoy your posts, and you usually have something interesting to add. I guess I’m just not fond of the dismissive: condescending attitude in “You don’t like him, we get it. Blah blah blah.”

 

While you comment on a show you don’t watch, maybe I can comment about a show i do watch.
