That was a great article from DC! He hit the nail on the head! The writiing for Aiden was terrible.


I don't know if his writing was terrible, but Days could have used him in other places...like him getting involved with Jennifer. Or he and Kate team up on something. If I was the writer, there would be no need to get rid of him! Get rid of lesser people like Dario.

I sympathize with DC, feeling unenthusiastic about your job and feeling boxed in can't be a good feeling. I appreciate his honesty especially about Rafe and Dena. DH is a hack and we all know it!!

Well he sounds like he didn't like the story he was given. He would have written his original entrance differently, Bo would have been dead etc. Wow, funny if anyone else gave the same type of interview - they would be called arrogant, smug.
oh, i'm sure he'll be called arrogant & smug at some point (& somewhere). I think the reason he hasn't been thus far has been because he's called Dena out on her "what i want to do" plan & the fact that there's no real resolution to stories. And these are things that we, as viewers, have noticed & called the show out on. In addition, he called a spade a spade when it came to giving both Aiden & Bo not-likely-to-ever-return exits to "clear the path" for Rafe. It's like TPTB feared that if one/both of Aiden/Bo were in Salem, fans would never really root for Rope, so the only way to try to force viewers to back the pairing was to kill off any of Hope's past love interests. (Technically, Patrick is still alive & in prison, but I can't see Dena wanting to bring him back.)
I don't blame him for wishing his character's entire story was written differently, especially with the fact that he enjoyed playing darker (& annoying Rafe). There really wasn't anything wrong with how Aiden was originally written, though I do agree that adding a bit of a greyer area when using Aiden as a lawyer would've helped make his character more interesting to a larger mass of viewers. If the show had wanted him to be the more "evil" character he was being written as at the start of his second run from the beginning, then his "how I would've written things" ideas would've made sense.
Well it appears not only did he not like both of his exits but he was unhappy at how he was introduced ie Bo should have been dead. He did not like being in the bubble - he sounds just basically unhappy with how his story went from the get go.
I agree & he said the galas & bake sales were non-stories, so it came across to me that he was bored by his first run. "Nothing to sink my teeth into" speaks volumes, IMO.

I agree. :shrug: That shouldn't be coming out of Andre's mouth. He is anything but decent.

I'm just saying, if Deimos can be "redeemed" (and I use that term loosely) who's to say Andre can't? Lol

Well, Deimos hasn't been redeemed. Also, Andre has what, 30 years of evil behavior on this show? Also it's clear Andre is still up to no good though he wants people to think he's changed.

The Kiriakis family seems to think he's the bees knees. Stranger things have happened. I could care less either way.

Was Deirdre just teasing when she said she was going to play Hattie sometime in the future?
God, I hope so. Especially if it means she'll be having scenes with Josh Taylor.

The Kiriakis family might think that, but they haven't seen what the audience has.

Dena's just a bad writer, period. No one wanted her back to begin with! She cannot construct a story with a strong beginning, middle, and ending. She plays favorites. She assassinates heroes and heroines to fit her writing agenda. Her writing has a sexist edge. She hires a bunch of newbies no one cares about. She's obsessed with "the mob" and dark stories. WHY was she hired a third time? She needs to go.
Dena is all about flash and NO substance!
She probably expects fireworks from her ideas, but instead she gets a dud!

Now, I'm REALLY afraid with Greg Vaughan's(Eric) return...heaven forbids if he should outshine her precious pets!
Yeah, I'm kind of afraid too. And he will undoubtedly outshine them. I mean it won't take much effort on his part.

The current Kiriakis family is being written as being collectively dimmer that a child's night light.

( I'm giving some small brightness to Justin but that may be overwarranted and Sonny).

Andre is a serial killer, whose victims include two of his siblings. I don't see how he can ever be considered redeemed.

No they only know that he was responsible for torturing Bo, paralysing Maggie, and blackmailing Phillip.

I didn't say he was or should be, just that it could happen.

That's true. I meant that right now he is doing stuff that shows the audience he is not to be considered a good guy. They're not trying to portray Deimos as redeemed, IMO.

Andre is a bad guy BUT so is Deimos. I'd take the Dimeras headed by Tandre over the Kiriakis family headed by Deimos any day of the week. At least the Dimeras don't have people kissing their butts. They aren't hypocrites.
