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.

 

It's the old "show vs. tell" problem: don't TELL us we should like so-and-so just because the others SAY they do.  If you want us to like them, SHOW US.

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. 

 

Maybe the next big twist is that Ben is f##king EVERYONE in Salem. Soon they will replace the plaque of Tom & Alice with a phallic statue in honor of Ben's magic manhood.

I want Ben to become a male prostitute, if only to witness the madness of Ciara and Will continuing to build him up to everyone else in town.

Ben, Ciara and Will become a throuple. As they support him being a male prostitute. 

I turned on Days the other day and was horrified. Did they fire their make-up department?? Everyone looked washed out and blotchy.

Well, it was either get rid of the make-up department or build a new set.

Celebrating Mother's Day on a random day in January. Yeah, they're really doing that right now.

Days is SO bad. Ridiculous. There is a reason why Ron got rejected doing the time jump on his previous shows. It’s stupid.

The Mother Day scenes are flashbacks to May 2020

I get that, but it doesn’t make it any less stupid. of course, I still watched it anyway, so what does that say about me?

Days is being artsy fartsy for the flashback week. Everyone looks bright orange. The foreshadowing for Adrienne's death was extremely heavy handed. 

If Judi Evans returns to DAYS (as Adrienne, Bonnie, or an all-new character), then I'm gonna want her in a triangle with new characters played by her former GL colleagues, Grant Aleksander and Vincent Irizarry.  Then, and only then, will I get past the stupid decision to kill off Adrienne for no damn reason (other than to ruin Maggie Horton Kiriakis for all time).

We all know that in the end, even if it isn't in Ron's original plans, that it'll turn out that at some point during the time jump, Rolf switched Bonnie and Adrienne's memories, and it was really Bonnie that died.
