Is the trademark of a Dena Higley show....flat, boring characters and stories? Cause I'm feeling absolutely nothing for anyone or anything currently on this show.

Also the difference between the energy of the actors last fall and right now is very noticeable. I'm finding ALL the acting incredibly dull across the canvas.

I should be super excited that Abby is returning and my favourite couple will be back in play soon but I'm feeling pretty blah about it tbh. Marci & Billy are going to need some amazing chemistry to overcome this lifeless writing....and the trite, boring triangle with Gabi but that's a different story.....
I started watching episodes from 2 weeks ago last night in the process of getting caught up. They're as slow as molasses in January. I agree the actors don't have a lot of energy. Billy's acting has been lacking since KM left.

I had to laugh when Deimos told Xander to never come back. I thought "guess who will be coming back soon." :blulaugh:
And what about when he told him that he had to give up on his twisted idea of revenge? Excuse me? That's what brought you to Salem Deimos. :blulaugh:

John & Marlena remain diamonds in a pile of poop, but OMG this episode was dull. Not like terrible, but ... so bleh.
Yes. The episode wasn't bad, it was just a whole bunch of...nothing. :sleep:

Welcome to Dena world. At her "best," the show is watchable, but a whole bunch of meh. At her worst it's a dumpster fire of offensive, character destroying dreck. And, based on prior history, her "best" comes at the beginning.

I think this is why I haven't been complaining too much. Because while it isn't exciting, it also isn't rage enducing. It could be so much better. But with Dena it really could only be so much worse.

Why is being with Aiden better than going to jail for Hope?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
They could have had conflict with her being away and JJ knowing where she was and didn't tell anyone, but instead they chose to go the typical route :(
To introduce drama in the story. But ultimately i don't think a couple of months of lusting after Gabi are actually going to derail his 4 years of obsessing over Abby. Buckle up! ;)
Oh I know. But this story is not doing Chad's character any favors.

What kind of retcon nonsense is Chad spewing about Stefano? Geez. Stefano said things like DiMera's rise from the ashes and Chad is waxing poetic that Stefano was insightful and a role model? :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

You're right, we haven't come to the character destroying stuff which I'm sure is on it's way soon.

Is it my imagination or have Gabi and Chad gone from just sitting on the couch together to almost sitting on each other? They sure got cozy!

What rubbish Chad spews again, about Gabi...why was her childhood so bad? Why was it bad for her that she killed Nick in cold blood?

why would Hope rather be Aiden's bitch just because she doesn't want to leave Ciara alone? Not like she's been bothering with Ciara anyway. She'd have family to take care of her...Kayla adores Ciara. Is that reason enough to submit to Aiden?

Oh yea and I was glad Gabi remembered Julie hates her, but Gabi acting like Julie's harassing her and making HER feel uncomfortable is bullshit.

She is so boring. Always have been.

If Theresa is depending on Brady to protect her, I feel sorry for her.

Back to the Hope show...

Everything happens offscreen on this dreck of a show. Maybe Julie is harrassing Gabi offscreen? :blulaugh:

Seriously. All Julie does is snark about Gabi to JJ, i don't get what Gabi was whinning about lol.

I only saw the last 30 minutes but it was enough.

Deimos let Xander go....& like someone else said: Guess whose coming back (my guess is February Sweeps).YAWN

Nice seeing Jennifer & Hope together, but meh....

And then...the BOMB....I thought the bomb was strapped to Jennifer not under a table?

Again...much ado about (basically) nothing.

Boring episode

Why Hope is scared to get caught for killing the buffoon who put a hit out on her on her wedding night is beyond me. Via her new husband no less.... Nobody deserved killin' more than the buffoon cartoon. Murderous creeper bastard deserved what he got and more. I've always wished Marlena had given the buffoon a lethal injection instead of paralyzing it.

Deimos is such a smug pig. Xander may be back soon. :blulaugh:

Here's hoping Xander comes back and takes Theresa out for good! What a waste of skin and air time she is. :blulaugh:

Xander has always been a bit of a dumbass, but the writing for the two seemingly intelligent Clyde and Orpheus is terrible.

What a boring "event".....

Because she's a self-centered drama queen who thrives on this bs? I'm sure once she realizes that she could play martyr in jail she's going to want to go.
