Is Sami ever going to get out of that ugly suit? Although, I do find it hilarious that wardrobe still dresses Ali as horribly as they ever did.

I'm pretty frustrated with the last couple of weeks. The week of the wedding and the week after that I really enjoyed. It felt like a whole show again. Salem felt like a community. It wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it. These last couple of weeks are a lot like how the show felt when RC's stuff first started...which is to say, it doesn't feel significantly different from Dena. There's some okay stuff here and there. There are some beats being hit that we might have missed otherwise. But overall, it's just plain meh. I really only want to watch when my faves are on (and I have more faves right now than I have at other times, so that's a plus). I don't want to watch the show that way.

I had heard that Ron was bad at pacing. You have to figure that if I knew that and I've never watched his other shows, TPTB at Days had to know it too. So why on earth did they not have someone get a hold on that? Or do they think they have? Because I've got news for them...the pacing sucks and is killing the good stuff they do have.
I Don't know, I feel like even the stuff I worked hard to enjoy under Dena H is no longer enjoyable. Any Eric day, Jennifer day, day that Rope didn't get along, a Jennifer & Abby day, an Eric & Brady day, a day that Brady actually mentioned giving a crap about Tate and a Chloe & Brady day would have put a smile on my face in the past. I was dissapointed today because there was so many of those things and nothing worked, it was dull.

I did not like RC at OLTL, but I really enjoyed him on GH. His talent pool on GH was endless and I think that helped, he had so many riches actor & actress wise.
But see...two weeks ago I was enjoying characters, stories, and interactions I usually don't. I'm wondering if that's how this regime is going to be. A couple of good weeks with good focus, followed by a couple of floundering weeks until the show gets back to its main stories.

I do think the cast is a major problem. I understand why they didn't do a massive overhaul, but it's needed desperately. My preference at this point would be for them to pick a solid base group, up their guarantees, and let literally everyone else be on recurring and come in and out as needed. I doubt that would ever happen, but it'd be nice.
Lysie, I agree with everything you said 100%.

This pacing is awful -- it ruins the momentum of stories. For me, the Will story seemed like it would be super exciting. Now it's just flat. The Bonnie story lasted way too long. There's no sense of building drama.
