Is this really how 2024 is starting? Is it? With this lack of taste stupid storyline that we'll forget in weeks? This is what he got for us? With RJ, the new kid on the block who we are still warming up to? And nothing major happening or about to happen? With no real stakes anywhere? With this appalling dialogue and Eric dying every other day? With Donna's fake crying every other day? 

How did Bell write himself in this corner? Yikes. 2020-2024 has been the worst period this show has ever had. And I am not dramatizing. Worst in terms of storyline, quality of dialogue, production. Even the wardrobe has never been worse. Are we supposed to believe the young macho muscle guy RJ, even if in the fashion world, will wear these absurd Zara-type shirts? Give this boy some handsome clothes. 

The shows need to either do a complete revamp and completely change course or go back to basics and more classic stories. 

RJ and Luna are written in such rushed, fake manner, with the actors having Zero chemistry, that it's making my head spin. And as much as I like seeing his bulging muscles, there is too much RJ too soon. There is no build up to this and I am confused why should I care.

Why is everything so one dimensional with no build up? Why?

And how many times do we need to suffer through Eric Forrester and Donna Escort Logan?

I am tired of this sympathy essay towards Eric. Imagine in two years, when they really need to kill him off, they will do it in like 5 episodes and be done with it. And I don't need to see Donna, the escort, in virginal white telling her teddy bear how much she loves him. I am tired of the repeated dialogue.

Why is it that this soap opera is more boring than the drama in this forum?

Sorry for this rant. I just can't stomach Bradley Bell Anymore. His writing gives me reflux.

Li attacking Poppy again is getting tiring very quickly. Especially when it comes off cold and mean and not one bit of sympathy for her sister.

Zende is a saint people. He did nothing wrong. It was the mints. The acting by the actor that plays Zende... Yikes

Poppy finds out about Luna and what happened to her special mints.

Seriously what an awful story. Reminds me of the tainted biscuits mess on Days.

Bradley must be watching Days online.

    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
