I am more inclined to agree with @KLN that Ron needs a co-HW - he is on brand for this show but needs someone to rein him in, his ego aside. Unfortunately, I think they installed him with Sheri Anderson, maybe the best possible living choice, and WTF happened to her? Where did she go?

At this point, the others that are left are hacks. They all have been recycled to the the our 3 soaps for years. Its time for new blood, a young writer to come in, potentially knows the history of the show. I bet there are hundreds of us that have created some stories for days.

A head writer is really coming up with the story's to tell, you have breakdown and script writers that bring it to life.

Honestly, I don't have as many problems like a lot of people have with the show - like the Devil being wildly inconsistent about his powers. I guess also currently watching Dark Shadows has made me sort of accept those kind of inconsistencies as long as the show is still enjoyable. The biggest issue I have with DAYS is that it feels strangely stale - things are technically happening but they don't really come across as changing much. As I said, a lot of it just comes across as moving chess pieces back and forth.

I mean, if Ron wants to write a fast-paced soap opera with supernatural elements, I'd be down for that - just saying. Just no more huge bears chasing women with scissors.

I don't know what happened to Sheri. Probably told Ron he has less taste than processed cheese and got booted.

I've been watching loosely and some of this stuff is too stupid for words. Sarah with 4 faces, Ava vs. the bear. The believability isn't the issue, it's taste.

I agree Ron is on brand. He gets the show and is imaginative as hell but we're going to end up with Reilly 2.0. if they don't hire someone to balance the crazy.

They could fire Ron and reinvent the show altogether but that didn't work with Dena, Tomlin, etc. At least Ron pushes the right vein. He just pushes so hard it usually blows.

I think it feels stale because of the inconsistencies.

If you constantly break your own rules nothing means anything. Sami could drive a stake through Marlena's heart tomorrow and I'd be like, "Cool, it's probably Orpheus in a Sami mask and Marlena's a clone. We'll find her on an island next month." Then Rolf would bring the clone back and we're back to square one.

Imagination only gets you so far if you don't remember/understand the rules of your own fictional reality. Every story shouldn't feel like an episode of Punk'd.

I'm available!

Can you believe they actually shelled out cash for that bear costume? 

This is proof the brain protects us from trauma. I'd forgotten more than half of that and you didn't even mention Garden of Eden.

This show...

I'd rather they say Rafe drugged her or something. Bad meds. She has enough reason to want to mess him up without the 'out' of a brain tumor. Dude lied to her over and over.

Galen is one of Corday's dudes so he's forced into story like JT's Roman but Carlivati can't stand Rafe, I know. He writes him unflatteringly but the way Nicole lusts after him is unwatchable.

It probably wouldn't bother me with another actor but Galen has annoyed me since July 5, 1999.

It has promise except they'll pair him with Leo and say Nancy forced it when she stopped using box dye.

I can't understand why they decided to make the devil just another villain. Why even do a possession story?

Just give the whole town D.I.D. and call it a day.

I was grossed out at first, but then I remembered Sami married EJ who was was an infant when Will was 5.

When it comes to SORAS I ignore it. Only way to enjoy the story.

Honestly, SORASing is one thing.  It's not like Sami/EJ really crossed paths when he was a baby.  At most, Sami might have met him a few times at Marlena's or John's in passing.  It's a crazy amount of SORASing in EJ's case but it didn't necessarily throw me off as much especially with Kristen/Susan off canvas when EJ was first introduced.

Brady and Kristen had an established relationship.  He was old enough to remember Kristen being with his dad, living with her, her actively trying to be a mother figure to him, and the fact John/Kristen were getting married.  None of this really bothers me now, but the context of Brady/Kristen's previous relationship makes it much more skeevy than just weird SORASing.

      This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.

      Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.

      Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?

      Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.

      MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

      Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!

      Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
