Sarah's a clown. They should've left her ass on the island. 

I see that Jack forgot that Xander's "cousin Sonny" is also his nephew and namesake lol how are these continuity mistakes able to slip by?

Clyde and Nancy have no purpose on the show. Let them just get married and leave.

As for Craig, he's already been destroyed so why not

 Have it all come out, kill him off (prompting Leo to leave town lol) and let the effects of it bring some conflict to Brady and Chloe. 

I think I have that same sweater in dark gray 

He did look good. The costume people really have been dressing him well lately.

Lol!  I don't want to see more of Clyde/Nancy.  My point was one relationship is overdeveloped and one is totally underdeveloped.

Every story is like this.  Kayla, Marlena, and Kate are dying and we haven't seen them in days and Belle/Brady were just fighting the custody case.  So they either don't care about their parents or don't know.  It's unclear. 

Stories just disappear for weeks at a time including this murder mystery.

Oh, you're right about the way they allocate screentime. Huge coverage of people talking to each other about Problem Z. Then, something undeveloped just HAPPENs. And, there's no repercussions either.  And, @AbcNbc247you're right that Sarah is a clown. And, so is Xander! He's either totaly in control or completely wild at what he does. The only thing that's been compelling has been Chad's grief, Jenn's grief, Jack's angst & guilt & little Thomas. You can't have a soap be about 4 people's negative feelings.

The real problem with the show is the loss of the sense of community.  Everyone on Days used to know each other's business and most of the cast would be involved in one problem unlike GH or YR where people sometimes don't cross paths at all.  Up until the budget was slashed, the whole town of Salem went to Aremid or Paris.  Half the cast went to Greta's coronation.  Weddings were a huge deal.  If this was 15 years ago, everyone would have been at Sarah/Xanders wedding.  Everyone related to Kayla, Marlena, and Kate would pop up at the hospital to see what's going on or lend support.  I know the budget issues are real, but Ron has to figure out a way to connect people in the town to make things feel more important and not just a series of insular events happening to a few people.

That's the problem. And that doesn't even feel like a budget issue to me.

Neither does rushing through storylines. I kind of get it with Chandler Massey/Will, but when your storylines consist mostly of actors that are on contract, I don't see why the show feels the need to rush through it.

Too bad he doesn't live in NY. He and I could go shopping together

And the spoilers say that

Sure, today is a perfect example of something that isn't a budget problem.  We could have cut out this entire Xander/Sarah separation and fight and spent the whole episode developing the murder mystery.

If Jackie Cox is the killer I truly give up.  No one would care.  I barely care about Craig, but it will at least effect some people on the canvas lol.  Why would Craig smell like Vanilla though?  Was he baking pre-stabbing?

It was nice to hear Will's voice too. I like Will. I was glad Maggie held her ground with Sarah. And I thought Maggie made a good point about her having to deal with Victor's past & not constantly be blaming him for things he did years ago.  What've we got so far? Nice sweater, nice voice, Maggie made good point, ... this is truly pitiful. Well, I can choose to hope that Cady will get to slam Emily! That's my ticket.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
