Members Marlenaphan Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 I’m more of a JER fan than a Days fan. The years bookended by his runs (1993-2006) were my favorite years. Didn’t bother watching again until his protégés MarDar were hired in 2011 but stopped in 2012. Started watching again infrequently in 2017-18 when Ron brought back Bonnie, Hattie, Susan, Rolf, Princess Gina, Carrie, Billie, and Mimi. Started again full time when Jack returned.

Members Vee Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 JER was a bigoted hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marlenaphan Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 That’s an interesting opinion. He’s my favorite writer, not just soap writer, and Passions is still my favorite soap. I’m glad Ron writers Days in the JER style. Now Higley and Tomlin, THEY are true hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 He wrote a comic relief story about an incestuous transgendered rapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marlenaphan Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 I am very well aware, and I loved it! Please register in order to view this content I watch soaps for the outlandish, over the top, campy plots. Thankfully, Days has returned to this style of storytelling after a decade of boring character-driven crap from Tomlin and Higley. BTW, Vincent was not transgender, he was a hermaphrodite.

Members Antoyne Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 I thought Rafe and Carrie actually had chemistry during that period when they were hooking up and working together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 Corrected Vincent/Valerie was just all kinds of wrong and then the way they treated Simone and having Marla Gibbs play her homophobe aunt Yeah JER seemed very anti-LGBT I wish Days would have made Anne Milbauer, Annie Peters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 I am surprised you like JER so much if you are a big Jack fan. JER clearly hated MA/Jack and hated writing for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 I feel JER didnt mind writing Jack if he wasnt played by MA. He seemed to have issues with Matt but not Mark or Steve's versions of Jack. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 Mark and Steve's version of Jack were like different characters. MV was fine, but he wasn't the same Jack at all. He was a more typical JER hero. There was clearly an issue with MA and JER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 6, 2019 Members Share Posted June 6, 2019 Oh 100 Percent given that he killed MA off in 2003. Seems like bad blood who knows Mark was Good Steve? O have no idea thought he was a good fit for jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
