Members Khan Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Maybe it was just inadequate direction mixed with even more inadequate writing. Ron Carlivati could have jumped ahead to the year 5000. It doesn't matter. Time jumps DO NOT belong on soaps, where fly-on-the-wall, moment-to-moment observation is key. Ron's just doing this 1) because he can and 2) because he doesn't know what else to do. Could we please mention briefly the ridiculous inclusion of the hourglass in her hospital room? ("Because, hey, a hourglass! Get it? What! IT'S FUNNY!") Seriously, Ron Carlivati has the subtlety of a venereal disease.

Members Vee Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 Nah. AMC 2.0 did well with a timejump to clear the decks. OLTL had a smaller one built in just by the passage of real time. GH should've had one years ago. Timejumps are now a staple of shows in creative ruts to clear passage. No programming on television today is in a bigger rut than daytime.

victoria foxton Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Out of nowhere an hourglass pops up in Jenn's room. Looks like the same one John just gave Marlena. Isn't Saxtons a bistro? They sell hourglass too. Please register in order to view this content Edited November 9, 2019 by victoria foxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 What's next, Ron? Gina ditches her tiara for a blinged-out hourglass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yeah, kind of kills me to think that no one figured it out after a whole year of Hope acting weird. But hey, I'll take it over actually having to watch Princess Gina for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thank you for not going on about that. the show would be ruined if she had a worse hosp. room. true, but with all the ways IMPO that this show is horrible with RC writing this dreck.....that is one thing I'm looking past.

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 How did it just pop up there, when John gave Jack the hourglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I found the episode so boring. I must have blocked it out. It was anticlimactic. Featuring mostly the Eric/Sarah baby reveal. There should've been multiple cliffhangers. But there too cheap and uncreative for that.

Members dragonflies Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 I missed some episodes, so did Jack and Jenn remarry after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 Guiding Light jumped ahead a year for it's final episode. And Dark Shadows jumped ahead 25 years. Someone needs to tell the soap press not to pee their pants over this. I has been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Forget about the hair. What's with the facial expression? Has he become Salem's answer to AMC's Stuart Chandler? If DAYS just had to commit to this cockamamie time jump, then it needed a HUGE cliffhanger to make it really "pop." A natural disaster is out of the question since DAYS has less than no money -- but what about the start of a big whodunit storyline? Maybe someone could have been injured or killed by an unknown assailant and THEN we make the (time) jump. Edited November 9, 2019 by Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted November 10, 2019 Members Share Posted November 10, 2019 Goddamnit. I gotta admit, when Marlena said “Like sands through the hourglass...” it got me. I’m so mad I fell out of soaps. Trying to watch and there’s so many questions. Who on earth is Jordan, what’s going on w/Hope and where’s Sami ? Great time to start watching again. The time jump will be interesting to watch unfold. Still hoping Rafe disappears for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 10, 2019 Members Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Hope you get back into soaps. Yes, they're flawed but they're still really fun to watch Jordan originally came in as Rafe's physical therapist and soon after love interest. Back then, she was perfectly sane. But he's not her baby's father. Hope has been turned back into Princess Gina again by Dr. Rolf. And Sami was recently reunited with a nearly comatose EJ and they're off together.
