That’s an interfering frame of reference. May I ask you to expand of what (else) you have seen this go around under Josh Griffith that you like?

 

The general consensus here is that he's not got it right (including the writing for Adam) so I’m open to any perspectives that allow me to think about things more

(Sorry for responding like that to the OP. It's your opinion and shouldn't have said it the way i did.)

 

I just like the way he writes the show, I enjoy the storylines. I like the stuff he has done, i don't find it boring like others do. And when i first started warching the show in 2013 he was the writer. So ig im just used to the show this way. I felt the same way with sally and her 3 week arcs. Lol

 

And he writes for and brought back my favorite character which is Adam so I'm probably biased.

 

So yeah that's why i think he's a good writer. Again sorry for acting like that.

The May 4 episode of B&B was directed by Academy Award nominee Evgeny Afineevsky. Among the Israeli-American director, producer and cinematographer’s claims to fame are the Oscar and Emmy nominations he received for his 2016 documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. In 2020, Afineevsky released the much-talked-about documentary featuring Pope Francis, titled Francesco,. This B&B episode marks Afineevsky’s first directorial effort for the internationally renowned soap.

Exactly!   Bringing Adam back was sorta good move, but dominating the show with Adam and Sharon, and the b.s. that Griffith wants Sharon & Adam to be a couple,  plus the whole Abby and Chance being parents with surrogate Mariah, sperm donor Devon, but no Chance on the show, the overplaying of several characters and characters like Paul disappearing,, proves he is NOT a good writer at all, and should be fired.  Agreed Paul Raven!

Hey, sometimes these interviews are good in spite of him (especially with folks like Susan Pratt who will *not* be shushed, talked over, or shamed into silence). Nancy is a hero who I haven’t seen a lot of footage of, so I think I’ll actually tune in for this one.

Yeah it depends who the actor is. Melanie Smith spilled tea and  did Jay Hammer. There are some that are just great because of the chemistry... HBS, Gregg Marx and Scott Bryce.

    • Frank Valentini should thank his proverbial lucky stars that JE came out of retirement.
    • I liked Reva, too, but as I've said before, no one at that show besides Pamela K. Long knew how to write for her or for KZ.  You don't plunge a character who is OTT by design into circumstances that are equally (or more) OTT.  The trick with a character like Reva Shayne Lewis is to keep the storylines as down-to-earth as possible and allow her emotions to be bigger.  I've always said that both Reva and KZ were at their finest when they were dealing with relatively mundane things like Josh's paralysis, her marriage to H.B. and her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
    • I agree!  AE was just one of those performers who could draw you in, no matter what.  I don't believe I ever saw her phone in any performance on any show.  To me, she always gave 100%.  God, how I miss seeing her on TV every day.
    • Did OLTL have books in 80's like the other soaps that covered the early storylines of the show?
    • I liked (not loved) the character of Reva. I just didn't like how she ate the show. 
    • I’ve spent a lot of time at the bedside of dying family members. These hospital scenes feel very real. The entire Days team is doing incredible work.

    • LOL!  Yeah that makes sense, it seems like many soaps have that one character like this.  I do find it sad the other vets just sit around in the later years.
    • WOW!!!   Just amazing.  Her acting was topnotch and this was only an audition.  I was totally drawn into the scene!  I seriously wanted to know what happens next!
    • Even if you put the rape and the fact he was married to her sister for so long, it's a bit hard for me to buy EJ/Belle have strong feelings for one another.  They've known one another for years and years and there was never any indication they were attracted to each other until recently.  Then the first time they hooked up EJ immediately dumped her, went on to marry Nicole and steal her own brother's baby, then slept with Gabi.  I don't see any appeal for Belle here outside the obvious. I do think MM and DF have nice chemistry though. On a different note, what is on Belle's shirt?  Are they people running, crawling, riding bikes, in wheelchairs, all of the above?  The shirt is so distracting.  Worn on TV wasn't much help as I still couldn't get a close up picture.
