This might be an unpopular opinion, but I just haven't been feeling this escaped convict storyline at all and I think it's been written very sloppily and unbelievable.

The show is more watchable now, but I feel that's only because JG and BM's work was so atrocious that literally anything would seem like an improvement.
I actually agree. This SL had potential but it hasn't played out. Too many holes in it. Too many missed opportunities. And it's glaringly obvious that this is being done on a budget...lol

This show desperately needs to scale back & focus on relationships, family more...intimate stories rather than something like this that should be BIG scale. That whole laptop ransom drop scene, for example, just felt shoddy (&it cracked me up when Big Bad Orpheus had to stop to put his reading glasses on....lmao)
It's an odd mix of campy and serious moments. The only moments that have seriously gripped me were Abe being shot, Orpheus busting in on Brady's wedding, and Joey saving Claire (kind of). The thing is, while I think they are trying to insert some camp in it, I don't actually think they are trying to insert as much as is naturally emerging due to bad budgeting and bad blocking and bad sets. These are the storylines where my imagination and my love of the actors/characters are winning out over the glaring holes. Except for the dialogue. The dialogue is downright awful some days (most days).

So I think the show is currently in a spot where if one of your favorites isn't on, it's not worth watching. Or at least that's the case for me. I'm using the term "favorites" a bit liberally, though. I have a list of about five characters I'll definitely watch, with a side list of about 3-5 I'll probably watch. Today, only one of them was on and she was with a person who I want to be on one of my lists, but the current story she is in is on my must poke my eyeballs out list. So...it was a rough day.

More and more this regime is reminding me of MarDar.

I thought today was a better episode than Mondays! Loved Andre playing with Clyde! Andre is not scared of the big bad wolf!

I totally agree with this. Another serious problem that this show has is that the majority of characters suck. Seriously suck. I hate most of them. And the ones I normally wouldn't hate, I don't recognize anymore, so I hate them now too.

The budget is another serious issue. It's embarrassing to watch at times.

Sonny... If Will hadn't behaved like Sami Jr. You never would have left him in the first place. This is hardly Paul's fault.
I didn't get the impression that Sonny actually blames Paul. I think he's tired of hearing that speech Paul gives about how its all his fault for the fourth time, especially since Sonny told him twice it wasn't Paul's fault when he came back the first two times Paul tried to give that speech. I think if Sonny blames anyone, he blames himself.
The problem is that Sonny jumped down Paul's throat when he mentioned Will not when he mentioned it being his fault. I do think he has some problems with Paul, and maybe vice versa.

I mean Paul nearly died, was kidnapped, nearly brainwashed and then reached out to Sonny and heard nothing...

This interview makes me think, issues

Eventually, both of them will have to sit down and reconcile what their issues are


And frankly I'm ok with the bother..

I'm gonna need Paul to stop blaming himself for sleeping with Will. It's been over a damn year. I get that he feels guilty but he didn't freaking know Will was married so he needs to get over it. Go talk to someone off screen about it for crying out loud.
Paul's anti shrink so I guess Marlena's out, lol. The thing is, I could have sworn he spoke to John about this too. I don't know how many more times he has to rehash this.
Sonny's not wanting to talk about it, is like avoiding the elephant in the room.

Jennifer. Adrienne is one of my least favorites.


Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought Jennifer was pretty and supportive of Hope, just like the old times. Adrienne though, if Days is going with the cancer thing, they should do it right. But then again, I don't want to see the cancer storyline.

How long ago has TBD been shut down?

And what the HELL does TBD mean?
TBD isn't shut down, I don't think. Eduardo took it over. Unless I missed an episode where that changed.

It meant "To Be Determined"
No

It stands for

Tremendously Bad Decor.

Really dull show today.

I just wanted Clyde to shoot Andre and shut him and his hissing, creepy inaudible voice up. I have no interest in Andre and his latest scheme.

I was kind of scared when Hope said she's been going crazy. God knows good things don't happen when she pretends to be temporarily insane.

They brought up Alle and Adrianne's four sons today....I would be down with any of them coming back to Salem! If Adrienne does have cancer can we at least have more of her sons come back to support her.....but honestly I have zero desire to watch them butcher another cancer story. I suppose at least they started mentioning it during the right month, October is breast cancer awareness month.

You know I had one thought about the inevitable cancer story. KC said it would be a different, new kind if cancer story...what if Adrienne has the gene but doesn't have cancer, but she decides to have a bilateral mastectomy as a preventative measure, like Angelina Jolie did.

Oh, forgot to mention Paul and Sonny. Supposedly they were once the love of each other's life, but they are so awkward together that no way do I buy into the "history". They're awkward in a bad way. Everything about them seems fake and choreographed. It doesn't help that Freddie Smith can't act.

When Clyde said what a good Dad Ben was all I could picture was little Thomas laying on the hotel bed all alone. Parents can actually be arrested for being that kind of great parent.

I could picture Ben setting the bed on fire and saying...You'll never see your mommy again...nothing says dad of the year more..

where I can't agree with this, there's a certain awkwardness in Paulson that's very much storyline to me.

That line from Aiden about having Hope dancing in the sheets with him tonight was just gag worthy! Felt like I needed a shower. OMG please don't break out the floating sheet scene for him to reminisce :yuk: :puke:
