I am convinced that there are factors outside acting & writing that are hurting Days. They seem to get new talent from time to time & even then they squander it. KD is a good actress, but I cannot honestly say Eve is success or she is at the level I think KD is capable as an actress. VI as Deimos was such a dissapointment. A Martinez another dissapointment. The show did nothing of value when Sarah Brown or Tamara Braown came on board. I am fearful that Tyler Christopher will just end up another really good actor who became drab. They cannot seem to inspire or motivated storyline up. I really think it's because the producing, directing, editing and set designing are so ingrained in what they do that they have taken the show down, it's become a factory and not a creative vehicle. It's about pushing episodes out fast and cheaply and it doesn't seem that anything can or does shake that mentality. So until their is a shift in that area I fear the show will never rise up. Well...the issue there is that the want the name actors and don't actually have characters ready for them. Additionally, they just don't need new actors in that older age range. Days has enough of its own vets. Hopefully, the fact that they waited so long to bring in TC will help that character issue, though.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I liked Hattie; Bonnie wore thin, and BD has been great.
Hattie had a couple of weak days at the beginning, but I think Deidre ended up doing really well. I think Judi is terrible in both roles, and I hope Bonnie never resurfaces. That story really fell apart, though, so while I think Judi sucks, I don’t even blame her. They clearly had no plan there. I don’t think Bryan has been as good as some think, but mostly I think the problem with him is that it’s been overkill. I think the cast is weak but those listed are pretty far from my issues there. I didn’t hate Bonnie like you did and I’m middle of the road on Bryan. I agree Hattie had a few rough episodes but that ended up fine (and I’m not even a Hattie fan) I think Bonnie just ran too long. The Hattie story had the added plus of John finding her so quickly

Victor disgusted me today when he praised Brady for the way he blackmailed Nicole into leaving town. And then for him to suggest that Brady turn Nicole in as she should have to pay the consequences for her actions. Well Vic, shut up, when the heck have you ever paid the consequences for all the crimes you've committed. I don't know why Nicole ran. She was drugged, she was provoked ... it may not have been self-defence but it was in defence of her daughter ... she'd get manslaughter at the most and probably more community service or a slap on the wrist in the least.
The Sami / Hope confrontation lacked intensity. Sami stuck to her guns and Hope waivered ... not a good sign in a Commissioner.
Lucas being a loud, belligerent, angry drunk is getting old. He needs to shut the hell up and listen to someone when they're trying to talk to him. It seems like Lucas is drunk ever waking hour, how is that even possible ... doesn't he ever suffer a hangover.
All through the Sonny conversation when Sonny was telling his Mom he knew she'd know what to say to him, how to comfort him etc ... all I could was well then why didn't you do more to find out what the heck was wrong with your 'mother' when Bonnie was pretending to be Adrienne.
That was quite the fight between Eric and Brady. Now Eric is going to pray for Brady ... really. I do agree however that he does have to put what Nicole did and said behind him and not try and find the why ... he needs to move on and that's the only way he's going to be able to do just that. I liked the Eric and Jen scenes.
So the group of Will chasers landed at the farmhouse, I mean Memphis. Looking forward to what happens next! I wasn't disgusted by Victor, I like evil Victor better than who he is today. I reminds me of the Bo & Victor days and the outrage that he was his dad. Victor was the pawn and he also tricked a woman or two into being with him or staying with due to blackmail. Days needs evil Victor & I rather he just acknowledge to someone that he wants Brady to be evil also, instead of hiding behind saintly Maggie and the memory of saintly Isabella. This is the Victor who plotted for John & Marlena to be together by getting them both on the Titan board. He was more than happy to wreck Marlena's family so his little Brady could have the mother he wanted for her (Marlena)

The Hattie story had the added plus of John finding her so quickly The Hattie story had the added bonus of not actually being about Hattie. Bonnie was a waste of airtime in 2004, and was a waste of airtime this time AFAIC. Never having anyone recognize her, and not explaining how they figured her out both really made that story a fail for me, though. Jennifer was the only one to ever even miss Adrienne. IDK what they were thinking not having Sonny question any of the stuff about Adrienne that he talked to her about today.

But if he'd played it with a knowing wink or something, it would have helped. I used to have the same issue with EJ. If you're going to have these people complain about others not paying for crimes, at least have them do it with a knowing glint in their eye.

more than one take and more prep time,
I know MBE and SN have talked about making sure they rehearse together all the time. I don't know who else works this way but sounds like its up to the actors to make the time to rehearse with each other. I know KA and PR said they were always working together to make their scenes believable no matter what kind of bad writing they were given; they wanted viewers to see some of Bo and Hope, no matter what. I imagine she does the same with GG, but it just doesn't come across very well with them, imo.

I am convinced that there are factors outside acting & writing that are hurting Days. They seem to get new talent from time to time & even then they squander it. KD is a good actress, but I cannot honestly say Eve is success or she is at the level I think KD is capable as an actress. VI as Deimos was such a dissapointment. A Martinez another dissapointment. The show did nothing of value when Sarah Brown or Tamara Braown came on board. I am fearful that Tyler Christopher will just end up another really good actor who became drab. They cannot seem to inspire or motivated storyline up. I really think it's because the producing, directing, editing and set designing are so ingrained in what they do that they have taken the show down, it's become a factory and not a creative vehicle. It's about pushing episodes out fast and cheaply and it doesn't seem that anything can or does shake that mentality. So until their is a shift in that area I fear the show will never rise up.
Well...the issue there is that the want the name actors and don't actually have characters ready for them. Additionally, they just don't need new actors in that older age range. Days has enough of its own vets. Hopefully, the fact that they waited so long to bring in TC will help that character issue, though. That could be true also, but I still fell as if the are not inspiring or allowing their current cast to shine either. I feel as if everything eventually become mundane. I suppose if you work on the show it wears off on you also.
Farmhouse set... Nicole & Brady sleep together in the set & profess their love for the other there. Months later Eric & Nicole sleep together & profess their love for the other there. That had to be mundane for AZ to play, it's nearly the same situation.
AS comes on, she shares a scene with GV at the farmhouse, next day the farmhouse is redressed and it is a set she is supposed to be at in Nashville. Deidre plays a scene w/GV at the farmhouse, soon after she is in the same Memphis set. Perhaps the actors even think, this looks so ridiculous and cheap, the viewers will know. Why are we even pretending to be in Memphis.
It's usually a top down attitude, if the show isn't investing just a little bit in this stuff maybe it rubs off on the crew and the actors.

There are actors who can still sell stuff when given crap. Set locations shouldn't affect their performance. :shrug:
You can't always blame the writing for an actor's poor performance. :-/

In the past they’ve stood on the same set for months and said the same lines daily. I don’t think the sets would be an issue like that for most of them. I do think some of the out of order taping they’ve been doing might be affecting some things though. And sometimes the cuts hurt perception of the performances because we miss beats that were intended.

The show was really good for a few months in 2015. If the writing is there you don't notice a lot of the things being discussed now. Someone here mentioned they had more money for the 50th stuff so I guess that's why we had more home sets?
I know GH and Days are close in the ratings and they are on different networks but does GH have so much more money than Days? I've started watching GH again and the show doesnt look as cheap as Days.

The production during they 50th was WAY better for a few months. From sets down to the lighting. I’m almsot positive we were to they had additional budget to play with.

We noticed it then too. I liked that time period too, but it was way inconsistent and they skipped lots of major, important beats. The best parts of that time period were definitely better than now, but the lows (and there were a lot of them) were as bad and worse than what we have now.

I never thought and still don't think things like sets or music have any major influence on their ratings. But I've gotten really tired of their dark extremely old-fashioned sets. How can they attract younger people with this? The sets are so boring and ugly and don't look like homes people would reside these days. They look antiquated and make the show look the same way.. All soaps are saving money right now, even Y&R only has few sets left but still from time to time they show us some different sets that look more like real appartments or hotels etc., that have colors other than brown, grey or dark green. Y&R uses their parking lot and cars. They also use "effects" and stock footage. Why can't Days do any of this?

There were serious issues with isolated stories then too. I remember a ton of complaints about how long Bo was outside of Salem and the isolation of the Ben Chabby stuff for starters
Oh and god that awful Theresa Kate Nicole basic black stuff was AWFUL

But I swear they just fell apart on Tuesday. And now the Will stuff is skipping beats, too.

It everything that is going on BTS.. It's the directing during scenes, it the production of the show, it's the effort in the editing and so on, all the way down to the stunts. I feel as if the show is so concentrated on pushing a product out at a certain pace and with an extreme efficient manner that they just don't stop to see or evaluate anything that is going to air.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
There were serious issues with isolated stories then too. I remember a ton of complaints about how long Bo was outside of Salem and the isolation of the Ben Chabby stuff for starters Oh and god that awful Theresa Kate Nicole basic black stuff was AWFUL
It's not just the sets.. It everything that is going on BTS.. It's the directing during scenes, it the production of the show, it's the effort in the editing and so on, all the way down to the stunts. I feel as if the show is so concentrated on pushing a product out a a certain pace and with an extreme efficient manner that they just don't stop to see evaluate anything that is going to air. Right but I was talking about writing issues for the 50th.

The show was really good for a few months in 2015. If the writing is there you don't notice a lot of the things being discussed now. Someone here mentioned they had more money for the 50th stuff so I guess that's why we had more home sets?
I know GH and Days are close in the ratings and they are on different networks but does GH have so much more money than Days? I've started watching GH again and the show doesnt look as cheap as Days.
We noticed it then too. I liked that time period too, but it was way inconsistent and they skipped lots of major, important beats. The best parts of that time period were definitely better than now, but the lows (and there were a lot of them) were as bad and worse than what we have now.
There were serious issues with isolated stories then too. I remember a ton of complaints about how long Bo was outside of Salem and the isolation of the Ben Chabby stuff for starters Oh and god that awful Theresa Kate Nicole basic black stuff was AWFUL Oh god, YES about the Nicole, Kate, Theresa Basic Black story. That old worn out whore Kate couldn't have cared less back then that Will died, she was too busy trying to destroy the newest saint of Salem, Theresa.

I think Ron's unfamiliarity with Dool is showing. He was a superfan of both GH and OLTL and his writing on those shows was so much more energetic. Some of his signature is showing but it still seems very tentative.
