using it to portray his frustration but I thought it was done so poorly that he made me think of a rabbit. :o) That or the old cartoon (I hope SOMEONE remembers) Gerald McBoing-Boing.
I have also done some acting and directing in neighborhood theater (far from what we watch on Days I’ll admit) and can certainly appreciate many of the techniques they employ. It’s just that some are well executed and some are not. I often cringe when they are not, thinking that professionals should be doing a better job. Yes, I know, I know…this is not legitimate theater we are watching. :o) I should try to be more tolerant.
I don’t think he really loved her yet at that point. There must be something there now though for both of them to keep going back, time after time.
Although I really want EJ and Nicole to stay together, I always enjoy the dymanic between EJ and Sami. I just wonder what they will do with Lucas if Sami gets caves in to EJ yet again. Will they Austinize him? I hope not.
I don’t believe it has been dropped entirely, unless the new writers don’t wish to pursue this storyline. Also, I don’t believe for one minute that Stefano is permanently dead. We saw neither a burial nor a cremation. Just too nebulous for me.
What I can’t understand is why they are letting Ian go. I don’t much care for his character but I would think if they are going to have him be the one to shoot Stefano, they’d want to milk it for all it’s worth. Maybe Stefano and Ian are in cahoots to integrate both the Dimera empire along with Titan Industries and "rule the world."
I’m anxious to see what John is going to do in order to exhibit his Dimera heritage and take over the business. That could get interesting. And, knowing what we know, he’s probably got more right to it than EJ. Maybe John should enlist Chad to help him. Chad should be okay with running a legitimate empire.
But the thing about the writers… I think they all try to do their best but after a while they just plain run out of ideas. It’s true the primetime shows are much more exciting but they are only once a week and, at best, for only 23 weeks a year, most of them half that or even less.
Imagine trying to continue writing and keep it exciting for FIVE days a week, usually 51 weeks a year. It seems to me they all start out well and then peter out. I’m afraid the same will happen with these new writers. After all, they once got fired from the show also.
Let’s just hope they can keep us interested for a year at least. I understand everybody’s complaints and getting fed up with the show. Maybe I’m just more tolerant than most. Heaven knows, I am an eternal optimist. I keep thinking it’ll get better. And sometimes it does. There have been very few shows (IMO) that I found no merit whatsoever in them, most have something interesting happen.
They must be reusing the infamous "conception" elevators where Chloe and Sami got pregnant while stranded in them. I sure hope this doesn’t cause another ridiculous pregnancy. It’s enough we’ve currently got Carrie and Nicole pregnant.
a lot of negativity expressed here about the show. As much as I complain about Days, I still LOVE it and look forward to sitting down and viewing it every day. In fact, sometimes, I’m disappointed when I realize it’s Saturday and there IS no Days today. Unfortunately, THAT happens frequently. :o)
Of course we blame the writers for our discontent but I don’t think bringing on new writers is going to make a bit of difference in the long run. Look how we felt about these current writters when they first started.
For as long as I have been on the internet (since 1995…17 years!) discussing this program, there has been extreme criticism and look how many writers that has encompassed. It’s the nature of the beast. Can you imagine if we all only posted how great everything was? Nobody can bat 1,000 consistently (or even EVER). It’s like life in general, you have to take the bad with the good.
For me, anyway, I feel these characters are almost like family and no matter what they are doing, I enjoy watching them. Do I sometimes get bored or disgusted with the show? Absolutely! But I would never stop watching because of that, no, the enjoyment I get from it far outweighs the bad parts. I guess the perfect example of this is that I NEVER fast-forward…ANYTHING.
I don’t know why but it saddens me when I see posts saying people have stopped watching. It’s almost like dissing one of my kids and I feel somewhat hurt. Yes, I’m addicted; I’ve admitted it before. But it’s an addiction that isn’t hurting me or anybody else so I feel no guilt whatsoever.
I’m not saying it’s wrong for anyone to feel as they do, to criticize the show, or to stop watching. I just couldn’t never do it myself…nor do I even WANT to. JMO, of course.
who was that wearing the black gloves that paid off the polygraph tech? That makes me think it wasn’t Lexie.
I’m really getting tired of all his snarky smiles, and so frequently at the most inappropriate times. I don’t know if the director is telling him to do it or if his own idea but I hate it.
And now they even have him dressing like EJ? Egads!
she doens’t need them anymore, she is a widow now. If those divorce papers were not finalized, and if they live in a community property state, Kate would now be half owner of every thing Dimera. Unless they had a pre-nup, of course.
