I’m curious because I’ve never seen a soap where more actors stumble, stutter, clearly mix up lines that they try to correct than DAYS. It’s pretty funny on CC. DAYS also has very long scenes 2 min+. The production really illuminates the truly skilled and vets. LG is a standout of the newer additions. Most daytime soaps do one take now, unless something falls on your head or a curse is said. If that happens. You only pick up from where it was messed up. Yu dont do the whole scene over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which is ironic, because if there's anyone who spends his entire life in a fog, it HAS to be he. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the constant slippage stood out when I started a four-month binge catch-up in August made me think it was production. I’ve watched soaps for decades as well as legacy (DS, TEON) and I’ve never seen anything like it - and it happens during every episodes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed plenty of flubbed lines even back then, which blows me away, as they had a Budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately Ciara's life is devoted to trying to save a serial killer from death row so she can keep riding his dick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why is everyone else in town actually concerned there's something wrong with Hope, yet her own daughter doesn't acknowledge her existence or even notice anything is wrong because she's obsessed with a serial killer.

Khan Members Share Posted January 18, 2020 Nah, knowing Ron, she'll be too busy battling her new, alter ego, or Rolf will inject her with the Gina juice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juppiter Members Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Here’s the thing: I don’t mind Ciara being dickmatized by Ben. It’s perfectly realistic. I’ve seen plenty of intelligent women and gay men (including yours truly) who have lost their wits and gotten with a guy who is totally wrong for them because he is good in bed. what bothers me is that they force all of Salem to constantly sing his praises.

Khan Members Share Posted January 18, 2020 And now I hear in my head the late, great R&B singer Linda Jones singing, "Dickmatized" (rather than "Hypnotized"). Thanks, @juppiter! I think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is what modern soap writers get wrong with these type of characters. They force the issue instead of letting characters have their own point of view and telling the story from all angles. Lead the audience but don’t be so blatantly transparent and desperate. The audience might root for the outsider (depending on the character of course), but making them the insider eliminates that feeling. It does for me anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
