Yeah he does. And unfortunately, angry Philip is basically all we get these days. I like JKJ but he sounded constipated when Philip was yelling at Chloe on Friday. LOL

I agree that Chloe needs a stronger direction. She's on plenty but doesn't have a real story outside of whether she's going to bang Philip or Brady. It's literally just the same scene on repeat. Philip catches Brady and Chloe in a close moment, misinterprets things, and gets angry. It's so stale for all three characters.

EM has aged amazingly well. I do think Brady needs a rest or at least a fresh story that has nothing to do with his love life. All he does is jump from woman to woman. It's time for Brady to start snorting cocaine again, lol.

This doesn't illustrate what you think it does, teeheehee!

That's because Kyle Lowder always looked ridiculous.

Chloe has had every possible demeaning story in the last 20 years short of being abducted by aliens or sold into slavery. I love Nadia but the potential there is burnt AFAIC. She should be gone 5-10 years but Ken Corday can't stop rehiring her (or a lot of other folks).

Chloe and many others need a new direction. However that is the thing with soaps, it about creating drama between couples. 

Why can't Chloe run a successful music school funded by drug lords?

Another could be age her daughter to a teen and cause tension between her and the daughter.  Daughter becomes a massive pop singer and goes on a downfall spiral with the success, that leads to drugs, alcohol and do a Britney story where she is under a conservatorship by her mother and the dark side of it.

Days is on fire! Thanks Ron Carlivati for your brilliance! You have the viewers hooked! They claim that they don't watch but yet they complain about every scene (that they don't watch). Thank you again Ron Carlivati for keeping Days on the air and for keeping us watching!!!!

I will say it often feels like Chloe is just ... here to be here so I can understand the feeling of 'played out'. I'd like a little more investment. A POV would help. 

 

lol I have too. I'd probably prefer to live with Craig and Nancy too LOL. Imagine the fun and the arguments. I wish they were around. Why not use them ala Justin/Adrienne-Bonnie? 

 

Ron should have teenage Parker find out Philip is his bio daddy and then we can bring back Stephanie.

 

Exactly. So many things they could do with her. Joy could be in the music industry. There you go. And they dropped the ball on Chloe/Claire.

 

I can see the burn out on Chloe. The character needed longer than just a year/few months rest here and there.

 

We were so damn close to Rafe gone forever. Siiiigh. Whhhhy do they hate us? LOL

 

Personally I'd rest Brady and bring back Paul

It is weird they don't pop up more often. PD does it on Y&R so she is clearly open to doing one episode at a time to advance story.
But I guess Chloe has no story to advance.

I am personally of the opinion no character is ever "played out". They may not inspire the current writing regime but with so many layers and history, inspiration can turn a character into something interesting again.
Clearly hasn't happened to Chloe or Phillip or Brady in a while.
But look at Lucas: the writing for Lucas has been atrocious for 90% of his time on the show and when he was written out we can't say he was missed story-wise (I still missed him but he wasn't essential to stories).
And yet with a writer that wanted to play him it has worked so beautifully!

Poor Lucas has been a joke for a long time for the same reasons as Chloe, Phillip, Rafe, Shawn, Belle, etc. Corday can't let them go yet refused to invest in them when they actually worked (not that Rafe ever did IMO). Lucas escaped this fate for a long time and was frontburner until E.J. become fully ascendant, but he's been the goat for years despite the brief recent resurgence. That will end now. And yet they keep them on because Corday can't accept letting things go.

I totally forgot Chloe had a sister named Joy. lol.  Reasons why i thought she had a daughter. Same thing could happen, Joy is aged to early 20's and becomes a massive famous pop singer. Chloe gets jealous and hooks her on booze and pills to convince her parents to create a conservatorship and ala , Britney storyline in the making.

    • Ok, I know nothing about Another World except their catchy intro song from long ago, but this makes me want to catch!  That crazy mother keeping her son's girlfriend or wife hostage, wow! 
    • And maybe Hotel could have been placed at 9pm Tues instead of Paper Dolls. Not that I thing it was a surefire thing but at least viewers were familiar with the show and it might have done better than PD. ABC's line up was pretty threadbare at that point. And with a big guest star to launch the season - Elizabeth Taylor- the numbers would have been there initially.
    • Any fan of RuPaul would dispute calling any of these examples “drag”. A costume?, A disguise?, A lame attempt at humor? -- yes -- Drag? -- nope
    • No asterisk. I meant that the circumstances during the first year were in her favor.
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Are you suggesting that her success at GL should have an asterisk next to it because she was smart enough to exploit a weakness in the marketplace to gain ratings?  Note: Try not to take this personally—I’m not accusing anyone of being consciously misogynistic. I’m simply proposing that the origins of certain ideas about Ms. Phelps—such as claims that she was unprepared or a poor manager of her writing staff—may be rooted in misogyny. Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, it's worth reconsidering those opinions. At the very least, imagine being one of the few women in the room while a male network executive tries to decide what women want to watch during the day. That context has certainly led me to reassess many of my own long-held views.
    • Through 78 and 79 under Marland and Pat Falken smith GH was still heavily hospital based with a mix of storylines. The Doctors would have been fine had they followed that template. Once GH went with Ice Princess all bets were off.Who knows how much TD would have copied that direction? And OLTL, DOOL went in that direction quite heavily while other shows dabbled in far out stories. The thing is that TD was well set up for an expansion.

    • Aaron Spelling still had clout with ABC in Fall 1984, as I think they knew he was going to pull out all the stops for Dynasty to get to #1, which he did. That's probably why ABC kept Hotel as Dynasty lead out. Fall 1985 with the sale to Capital Cities and Brandon Stoddard arrival, Aaron Spelling would lose his clout with ABC.
    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.
