I think part of the reason some of the SLs are moving so slowly is that there are so many ongoing SLs. We have the following:
Bope and the prison scam with subplots involving Jennifer/Dr Ben
Chloe/Daniel/Parker which mixes in Phillip/Caroline/Steph/Melanie/Nathan to various degrees
Viv/Vic/Maggie
EJ/Nicole/Sami/Rafe and the kids
Brady/Vic/Titan
Stefano/EJ with whatever they are going to do to Rafe
Chad/Stefano/Kate
I know I’ve left some out, but my point is you have about 5 minutes of dialogue/kissing then 5 minutes of commercials. That doesn’t leave time to cover much ground on a daily basis.
give a rat’s hinney about – Bo and Hope, EJ/Sami/Rafe/kids, Chad, Stefano/EJ and anything to do with Rafe, Chloe and Daniel (Parker is OK – he hasn’t grated on my last nerve like his mother does).
but the one I can definitely do without is one that you did not mention, and that’s the whole Melanie pregnancy fiasco. Melanie all by herself gives me a headache. A pregnant tummy holding, morning, noon and night sickness, with crying, sighing before each line, and stuttering in-between them is enough to make me wish Nathan would just kidnap her and take her with him when he leaves.
anywhere in a very long time! Get rid of 50% of the characters running around, yet Days continues to add and add and add more. Most or all of the new people that have been "introduced" in the last year and a half to two years (and yes, that includes a few of the main story liners), get rid of them. There are so many friggin’ story lines now – haven’t the writers ever heard a variation of that old adage, "…you can’t please everyone"!!!???!!!
Seems like they are trying for quantity instead of quality – I’ll take quality any "DAY"!!! And the writer’s really did well and cranked out some outstanding writing for a few episodes about three weeks ago – (the reveal – at the Christening and a few days after), so they are capable of it.
I agree with you 53tdogs. I am just not interested in most of it these days. Storylines should last no longer than 3 months. For example the children as weapons with Sami and EJ. We have been watching the back and forth for way too long.
I have to strongly disagree with you. I think we would get very bored of seeing the same characters over and over and over. The only way they’d be able to tell a story that way would be to really drag it out, otherwise it would seem like a compilation of short stories that would never have any depth to them.
I love the variety of characters and, if they are any good at all, welcome the new hires they bring on. And I think that’s exactly what they are trying to do…please everyone. We can see by the comments here that many people dislike different characters and love the others. So what would happen if you cut the cast, say in half? I think you’d lose a ton of viewers. JMO, of course. YMMV
