8. The Gloved Hand

I'm not getting into the pluses and minuses. I'm just going for the straight-up letter grades!

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - B - GREAT story! And has been for a while. Loving Zach's death. Loving Chelsea's trial. Some of the fallout was used to push B/B and Hopetrick together, which I didn't like, and I hated Morgan Island. But this is a great story. The pregnancy reveal was great. I love Who's The Daddy? storylines. I am just praying this isn't Patrick's. I am a BIG Bo/Billie fan. And I LOVE Chelsea!

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - A - I'm not a big J/J fan, and I never have been really, except for a few moments during the SSK and Melaswen, but this storyline is awesome! I love it. This is another time I can add on to being a J/J fan. Reeves and Ashford are nailing it out of the park on a daily basis. This wedding is right up there with one of my favorites of Wedding Interuptus!

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - C - I'm not using C as bad here, just as Average. It's a *GOOD* story. Not by any means amazing, like I think we all had in mind when we heard CC was returning, but I don't think it's as awful as a lot of people do, either. This has a lot of potential. The best is yet to come with the fallouts. It should be good stuff. We'll see, though!

4. Tek/Abe/Lexie - C - Again, average. Not bad, not great. In the middle. I love the scenes when we get them, but they've kinda served their purpose now. I'm not sure the fact that Abe found out was about Abe/Lexie as it was about propelling the Sami story, which is disappointing. This is good movement for these two, but we've also seen it twice before now. I am sick of Lexie and her sluttiness! Bring back the !@#$%^&*]. I also want Tek gone - for good, not just recurring. But we do have talented performers all around in this story so that's something to be thankful for.

5. Steve/Kayla - A, A, A, A, A!!!!! - I love these two. I'm obsessed with them! The actors, the characters, the flashbacks, his one-liners, their kissing, their memory lane trip! Amazing. I can't believe I watched this show for thirteen years and loved it, and it had nothing to do with these two. My FAVORITE story right now. I feel like I am so emotionally involved like I DID watch them in the 80's!

6. The Brats - D - Below Average. I won't elaborate because it's not worth it. Friday was a nice twist. Bring it.

7. Max/Chelsea - C - Eh. Average. They need something. It's time for a push here.

8. The Gloved Hand - A - So far, everything is right. I am very intrigued. Bring it on!

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - B+

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - A

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - since EJ has joined it B

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe - B+

5. Steve and Kayla - D - needs some spicing up

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi - F

7. Max/Chelsea - C

8. The Gloved Hand - A

Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea : A

Not perfect but good enough. The pregnancy thing was a good twist but my Hotrick love is gone. I do still like Bollie though. This was the best story on Days but now I think it is the 3rd best.

Jack/Jennifer/Frankie: A+

This story improved the minute Matt Ashford came back. This is a soap triangle as both men are rootable and are character liked by the audience over the years. Loving it!!!

E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas : was a C but now a B+ with EJ arriving

Like KR said it was never terrible but it nosedived for me when Carrie got pregnant and the show then rushed a Sami/Austin proposal. They improved this story by bringing on EJ and pushing Lexie into it more. The fallout should be great.

Tek/Lexie/Abe: B

My main complaint is the pacing. This story got ignored for over a year and then was featured more when Lexie got tied in with Alex and Sami. It is ok but the fallout is better. The reveal to Abe saved this story for me. Lexie/Sami is great and the gloved hand aspect is surperb. I do want evil Lexie back.

Steve and Kayla : A+

Best story right now. This is the first story in a long time about a couple that does not involve a triangle or quad. It is about a lose spouse returning with no memory and being taken on this journey to remember with his wife. This is superb soap at it's best IMO.

Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi-D

I would be harsher but Brant has improved and him and Martha are working well together right now as a couple. Shimi stink pure and simple. The twist on Friday was good too but this still needs to end. There is still great potential with the fallout so Days needs to just end this right now.

Max/Chelsea: C-

Needs something. Adding Abby to the mix would work wonders/

The Gloved Hand : A+

No explanation necessary. Loving it!!!

Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - C - I didn't want a who's the daddy, because it's so predictable. Of course we know the baby will be Bo's. I wish they would send Patrick and Billie on a permanant vacation

Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - A Excellent acting from all three, Seeing Billy Warlock in a real story makes me realize just how horribly misused he was on GH.

E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - B Love EJ and Sami. I want Austin and Carrie back together and I want Lucas to romance Eugenia.

Tek/Lexie/Abe - B I can't wait for her to become evil Lexie again.

Steve and Kayla - A+ The best storyline DAYS has going right now. I even rewind their scenes and watch them over again.

Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi - C - The story is okay, but it's going to damn slow. I just wish Mimi would divorce Shawn and set her sights on Max.

Max/Chelsea - B - Max is the reason I gave it a B. I can't wait for Stephanie to arrive

The Gloved Hand - A - I love a good mystery that keeps ya guessing and this looks to be a good one.

I'm still not really loving anything on the show. I had pretty much quit the show months ago but tuned back in for the Kayla/Patch return. Things have certianly picked up but IMO the dialogue is still horrid & now the pacde is too damn fast. I'm not really loving any story. I just like some things day to day. I can't wait for Hogan to startmaking chancges though. I hope he doesn't disappoint!

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea C+ (Beginning of the story was good with decent writing, good acting, & crap dialogue, then Morgan Island happened & now Patrick may be a father? UGH!)

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie C (The wedding could have been SOOOOO much better. It was too quick and hoaky. I love Jenn/Frankie and they weren't devloped enough. They had alomst a freaking year & nothing seemed to advance between them & then all of a sudden they were engaged????!??!)

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas D (I don't see the appeal of EJ. James Scott is just as bad as he was on AMC if not worse. Austin is a dumb ass for forgiving Sami & Lucas/Carrie are so annoying together!)

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe B- (The only story I felt came to a good conclusion & I love that Renee Jones has something to do other than be the doctor. Too bad James Reynolds SUCKED when he found Lexie in bed with Tek. He was freaking hilaious! I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head!)

5. Steve and Kayla B- (Again, nothing exciting. I am waiting to see what will unfold. Kayla is too goody-goody for me right now. That's boring to watch!)

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi B- (I can't believe they are sometimes the most interesting to watch sometimes. Martha Madson is very watchable & the baby drama could be fun! I just hate how Mimi won't tell Shanw abotu Claire & how clueless Philip is!)

7. Max/Chelsea F (I almost started to love Chelsea but then after hitting Zack she stuck to her dirty ways & this is irredeemable for me. She's a !@#$%^&*] i won't be rooting for ever again! Max is fine but nothing great.)

8. The Gloved Hand C+ (It's intriguing but too soon to see where it is going. If it's Marlena I will throw up on my tv, lol. J/K, but does it always have to be Marlena???)

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea B: can't stand patrick..and i'm not that big of a billie fan..I'm curious how this pregnant Hope thing will go..Hope the dad isn't patrick..don't want more reason to keep him on the show..

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie- A: loved that jack and steve returned together, and the story really kicked into high gear with the wedding..the acting has been absolutely superb...I'm so bummed now that Missy is leaving..

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas B-: Ready for them to end Carrie and Lucas, love Lucas but he drains the life out of Carrie..Hopefully the reveals will come soon...Also i'm ready to see EJ again, it been a few weeks now since he's been on..Love him..

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe B+: Only because of the awesome reveal..James Reynolds kicked it out of the ballpark..Ready for Tek to leave though, he's not needed..Glad they put him on recurring..Also i hope to see a custody battle for Theo...

5. Steve and Kayla A+: Its so magical having these two back, i get chills watching them...I'm lucky in that i got to see much of their first run, so this is so much fun...Glad there is no triangle, and i'm looking forward to stefanie..

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi D: Martha Madison rocks, but this story just sucks...The latest twist was interesting though...I'm just ready for Kyle B to leave, and we better get the claire reveal before that happens..I'm curious to see what will happen to this story if Jason Cook leaves..

7. Max/Chelsea C: love Max and i think this story will get better when Stephanie arrives...I'm just glad Days has a solid younger set now, with all strong actors..

8. The Gloved Hand A: love that we have a new mystery..these guessing games are fun..

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - C

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - B

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - C

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe - C

5. Steve and Kayla - A

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi - D

7. Max/Chelsea - C

8. The Gloved Hand - B

A lot of the storylines get C's because although they are good, movement needs to start happening....

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea : B-

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie : A

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas : D

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe: B

5. Steve and Kayla: A+

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi: C

7. Max/Chelsea: F

8. The Gloved Hand: A

Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick/Chelsea: I'd give this one an A if it moved faster and if Bo and Hope were written more true to history.

Jack/Jennifer/Frankie: The one triangle on the show that seems realistic. Billy Warlock has gained a fan in me with this storyline.

EJ/Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas: Too repetive and slow. EJ is the only thing that save this from an F for me.

Tek/Lexie/Abe: Great reveal with Abe, but the storyline never held my attention.

Steve/Kayla: WOW!

Philip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi: Too slow, too much Mimi whining. The only bright spots are Martha and the work that Jason and Kyle turn in when in scenes with her. Jason is MUCH better when he's in scenes with Martha or PR or KA. I think he's a bit lost when it comes to working off what Farah gives him......which ain't much these days!

Max/Chelsea: END THIS NOW! I want MABBY!

The Gloved Hand: Intriguing!

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea C: I am not really following this story. All I know, is that we have another WTD story. Its' not holding my attention.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie D: Great acting all around but I am ready for a J&J reunion.

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas C: I HATE carrie, she whines too much, and is so weak. I am hoping Austin and Lucas never speak to Carrie again, once the truth is revealed. EJ is just OK for me. AND I think AP has improved as an actor.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe. C: Glad Tek is gone, and Love seeing more of Lexi!!!

5. Steve and Kayla.D: Honestly S/K do nothing for me, glad they are back and the fans are happy, but they are just blah for me. I can't wait tell Stephaine arrival though.

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi B-: I am rooting for Phillip/Belle and Shawn/Mimi. Shawn can have Mimi, and those two can ride off into the sunset never to be seen again, and I could care less. MM is amazing, and KB is another actor that has improved.

7. Max/Chelsea B: MAX is HOT!! Chelsea is ANNOYING !@#$%^&*]!! Give us MABBY!!!

8. The Gloved Hand B+: waiting to see what its next move will be.

I'm fairly new to the show again(Steve/Kayla) so I haven't been around long enough to see many things going on in some of these storys so i'll just rate them on what I think so far.

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea B I'm liking this story. I've always enjoyed Bo/Hope in whatever story they are in and Patrick is really easy on the eyes and seems to really care about Hope which makes me a little 'torn' in which direction I'd like to see this story go.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie A I love all three characters here, so once again it's all good

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/LucasD Not into this story, seems like a real mix up to me, can't get interested, but would love to see them all "split" into different storylines because I think I could like some of these characters.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe C not a big Lexie/Tex fan, but it's always interesting to watch a "Cheating" storyline.

5. Steve and Kayla A+ What can I say, I adore these two, so any story after 16 years will work for me with these two! lol

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi F Terrible! Not liking ANY of these characters or the story.

7. Max/Chelsea B I love Max, hate Chelsea but am really hoping this story will heat up when Stephanie arrives

8. The Gloved Hand C I love suspsense, but so far the gloved hand is revolving around the storylines I'm not really interested in so unless something really exciting happens with this, it's just kind of blah for me.

Days has gotten much better recently especially since Alex North is gone now It's making me tune in much more than I used too.

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea: (A-) Everything is great with this storyline. I love the drama and I love Chelsea. The only thing I didn't like was the whole Morgan Island stuff. Now that Hope is pregnant is a great twist.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie: (B+) A great love triangle with three likeable characters. I'm glad Jack is back, the story got much better now that he is back.

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas: ( B ) I love Sami, I love EJ, Carrie and Lucas are a little boring sometimes but overall I like it.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe: (B-) The best thing I like about the story is Sami blackmailing Lexie. (I guess it ties in with the story above) The fallout should be interesting.

5. Steve and Kayla: (A) I didn't see these two the first time they were on but I love watching them. I can't wait to have their daughter thrown into the mix.

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi: ( B ) I really like this story. I eventally want Belle and Shawn together but I like watching them all for now. Mimi gets on my nerves sometimes. Some things about it kind of move a little to fast.

7. Max/Chelsea: (C-) I like Chelsea but Max has been kind of boring to me.

8. The Gloved Hand: (A) Its very suspenseful, I can't wait to see what happens.

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - C It's hard to care. This isn't the Bo and Hope I remember. Bo is terminally stupid and Hope is brittle and bitter. I think the death of a child could have been an amazing catalyst to explore the breakdown of a marriage. There was plenty of real, human emotion and frailty they could have mined, but instead they went with cheap gimmicks and tricks by outsiders every time. Likewise, Chelsea's guilt over killing Zach and her natural selfish fear of going to jail combined with Bo's anger at her and feelings of protection at the same time and Hope's anger combined with latent resentment that Chelsea even exists could have made for a riveting story. Instead they went the easy route and made Chelsea unrepentant and manipulative and everyone reacted in black and white.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - A THIS is how you do a triangle. The writing is very good, the acting has been excellent. There are no bad guys here. I have been a Jack and Jennifer fan since the very beginning and I honestly don't know who to root for here. All I care is that Matt Ashford stay on the show. I will be furious if NBC/Days dumps him yet again. I understand that there are money issues involved, but if there is money in the budget for Farah Fath and Austin Peck, then dammit find the money for an actor with as much talent and charisma as Matt Ashford. (sorry for the rant)

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - C I just can't care about this quadrangle. It's beyond my comprehension why someone as vibrant as Sami would want to be with a walking piece of lumber like Austin. Especially when he wants someone else. Every character in this weird little square (excepting EJ) has been replaying this same tired story for years. Sami's not a 15 year old girl with a crush anymore, and Austin is nowhere close to worthy of her feelings. U2's "Stuck in a Moment" should be Sami's themesong:

And you are such a fool

To worry like you do

I know it's tough

And you can never get enough

Of what you don't really need now

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe - C I'm giving this one a "B" based only on that kickass hotel room scene and Abe's quiet fury since then. Otherwise it's definitely a "C." Tek is a boring mimbo and Lexie is far too weak to be really to be interesting. No one who folds that easily (to Sami, to Tek, to the gloved hand) is worth caring about. Screw it, I just talked myself back into giving it a "C."

5. Steve and Kayla - A Even though I adore them, I actually considered giving them a "B" here. Nick isn't Steve yet, and this stoic man is far from the guy whose every emotion was right there on display for everyone to see. Having Kayla be the only one showing any emotion can be frustrating. Still, knowing the caliber of SN's acting, I'm sure this is a deliberate choice and that the payoff will be well worth it. I'm willing to wait.

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi - F Bad actors, horrible dialogue, total disregard for medical science. Far too much screentime. The entire story is an insult to viewers intelligence.

7. Max/Chelsea - B I really love Darin Brooks and despite the nearly one-dimensional way they're writing Chelsea right now I think the actress who plays her is doing an awesome job. I'm willing to give this one some time to develop.

8. The Gloved Hand - B for intrigue factor alone. The storyline hasn't gone far enough yet for me to know if it's going to be awesome or completely ridiculous.

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea - B+ - Zack's death was actually very well written, but I did not like the fact that JER used that to break up B/H. I love Who's the Daddy storylines, and for this one, I'm glad both men know that one of them could possibly be the father, unlike another storyline (cough).

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie - A - I wasn't always a fan of J/J, but this time around, it's been a great ride! This is how you do a REAL and classic triangle. Great job, DAYS!

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas - D+ - Before E.J.'s arrival, I would have given this an F. There's not much to say here, except it better move along.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe - B - I've never liked this storyline from the starting, but at the very end, when Abe caught Lexie & Tek in bed, it was FANTASTIC! No other words to explain it. If there wasn't a great payoff like there was, this grade would be much lower...

5. Steve and Kayla - A+ - This story is the best! No other words to describe it. I love the characters, actors and the great flashbacks. I'm extremely glad there is no triangle involved with this supercouple. I'm betting this story will get even better.

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi - F - I hate this storyline. Just let Mimi reveal the truth! When that happens, I might be able to stand this storyline.

7. Max/Chelsea - F - I don't care about this storyline whatsoever. Boring.

8. The Gloved Hand - A+ - I love it! If this is the way to finish these storylines, then bring it on! It's also very intriguing!

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea: C

Patrick & Hope are hot but they're starting to become bland to me. We all know eventually Bo will be the father. I loate Bo & Billie together. I will admit I've been liking Billie alot more. Hopefully, a Billie & Jack storyline comes soon.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie: B

This storyline if finally rocking. Billy, Melissa & Matt are all pulling off great emotions. For the first time I actually like Jennifer with Frankie more. I love how all the emotions are coming into play.

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas: C+

The storyline has really picked up. I'm loving EJ & Sami together. But I also still love Sami with Lucas. This storyline would of been an F a month ago. I also love how Lexie's been involved.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe: A

James Reynolds & Renee Jones proved why they should be front burner storylines. James Reynolds pulled off an emmy worthy performance when he caught Lexie & Tek in bed together. I wouldn't mind a murder mystery with Tek being killed off.

5. Steve and Kayla: A+

GREAT STORYLINE. I love how they're already together. I'm glad we didn't have 8 months of them almost seeing eachother. I really can't wait for Stephanie to show up.

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi: C+

I actually enjoy this storyline thanks to Martha Madison. With the egg samples being switched it really puts a twist to this storyline. I really hope we get a Shelle reunion soon though.

7. Max/Chelsea: C

Probably my least favorite storyline. I hate these 2 together. Max & Abby please.

8. The Gloved Hand: A+

I'm loving this mystery. It could turn out to be a great storyline. I'll be majorly disapointed if it's Tony Dimera or EJ.

I started watching Days again, regularly, for the first time in 14 years

the day Steve returned....so these impressions are based on a relatively

short length of viewing (having said that, I had seen an episode

here and there and a friend's highlight tapes in the 90s...so I

was not completely "new" to the current cast).

1. Billie/Bo/Hope/Patrick and Chelsea C:

I think (from what I have read)

the basic structure of the story since Zack's death and Chelsea's

responsibility makes sense. The fact that she killed her own brother

and the rift that caused for Bo and Hope makes for a great soap

drama...but as someone who tuned in just a month or so ago,

I am not *feeling* the things I should be feeling....I don't see any

real remorse from Chelsea or any reason to sympathize with her.

She has some fun scenes...that is about it. I see little to no depth.

Billie comes off as a desperate woman (my least favorite kind of

soap character)...all these years and she still sleeps with Bo and

carries a torch for him.Patrick bores me to tears. And Hope has

been much too serious...though I understand why, I want to see

some of her spark and spunk come back already. The new WTD story

stinks of Reilly--redundant overkill.

2. Jack/Jennifer/Frankie: A

I have never been a J&J fan; I thought Jen and Frankie were cute

as teens but that is about it. But they are really having some powerful

scenes, the actors delivering it beautifully. However...I came upon this

story only a month ago, and I can totally understand why J&J fans would

hate it.

3. E.J./Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas: D

And that is generous. EVERYONE except Sami puts me to sleep in this one...

don't get me wrong, I don't love her yet either

but the rest of the quad? SUCH lifeless whiners. I cannot, for the life of me,

understand why Sami would want any of those men. EJ is supposed to

be intriguing but so far even his shirtless scenes are unimpressive

to me. And Carrie? She is just so...zombielike and clueless. And her

reasons for marrying Lucas? Disgusting...Truly offensive story IMO.

4. Tek/Lexie/Abe: C

The saving grace here is the acting by James Reynolds and Renee Jones.

Tek is one of the worst actors I have ever seen...I feel no sympathy for

Lexie, and yet *want* to like or understand her. But now that the truth has been

revealed... can't say I care much about this story.

5. Steve and Kayla: A

My all time favorites and they are being written for ...adequately.

So far it's good...I see potential for so much more with the new

writing team, but what they have right now is not too shabby. There

have been a few magical,powerful scenes already: their reunion at the

cemetery, their talk in the jail cell....and especially the kiss on the cheek

outside the Brady pub. I am not happy with the little amount of airtime

they are getting, and Nick's...seriousness and withdrawn emotion is

making me miss Steve even more.

I can't say I love the flashback choices: there are so

many better ones to choose from...but I think Days is doing a great

job of reintroducing them to the canvas. I love that Kayla is not

sitting around feeling desperate or sorry for herself: she is taking action

and is so joyous at the return of Steve. I adore some of the lines Steve has

had with Jack (the jammies line was SO Steve). I love love love that

Nick is drawn to her but doesn't want to get too close because he doesn't

want to give her false hope of getting Steve back.

The best part of the whole return: The work of these two great actors.

I never catch them acting.

I really hope their story doesn't become all about Stephanie now....

6. Phillip/Belle/Shawn/Mimi: D

Most of the time I find Mimi to be over the top and unsympathetic...

still the actress's energy is contagious in the scenes and she is the

only one who brings it to life. I like her chemistry with Jason Cook/

Shawn D., who is also a surprisingly good young actor.

The story however? Ridiculously lame. And Philip and Belle

are dull as dirt....

7. Max/Chelsea: F

I don't understand what he sees in her.

8. The Gloved Hand--no grade yet

I am convinced the character is Reilly. Seriously though, right now I

couldn't care less who the gloved hand is.
