I waited to comment on this because I wanted to hear word about the EJ stuff first. I figured it was a red herring but I hope JS is never fired. The show needs him. If he quits, fine but the show needs a leading man in that age group and I think a young male Dimera is needed with Tony being a good guy and all. Now, I will start out with the negative (Yes, PR has a negative comment. Cue looks of shock). Whoever prepared these previews is horrible for not mentioning Bo, Hope, John, and Marlena anywhere in them. It just gives people upset with the show more reason to be upset. Now, I think these are very much like the May sweeps previews. They are very vague, which is good, and give you enough to tell you what is coming. I remember the same comments being made back in May and then the month turned out to be great and the ratings responded. These previews are just a general overview of what is coming. I remember when Days used to give out every little thing. I don't want that and I think the show needs to limit spoilers and previews so kudos to them. I love the Lucas changing his name to Horton one. Roman and I did the same thing in our blog. Hope it means more emphasis on the Horton's. Sami's last name would be Horton now and I love that. I hope Chloe does return. With the exception of the scar story, I loved her. Nadia can act and I would love for her to hook up with Max. Darin and her would look great together. Sadly, she will probably go back to Philip and I hate Phloe. I always liked Broe but even they got boring. Something new would be nice. Belle does need a friend and she is a face familiar with recent fans. Her movie didn't do well so it is possible and there was that rumor a few months ago about a recasted Brady and Chloe returning for an event. It all makes sense. I just hope it's Nadia and it's without Brady. I liked Broe but they bored me by the end. I suppose if Travis wins IWTBASS he could be Brady. Interesting though. As for Adrienne, I love having her and only wish Justin was with her. At least they are mentioning him now and I would love for him to make an appearance every now and then. The previews, what little were given, sound good. It seems to me that we will see a reduction in the airtime of the young cast, as is typical of the Fall. Once TTS is over, I think things will be better. We'll see. I like what I am seeing, although I am sure that is no shock to some. |

I may be way off in this theory, but what if when Lucas changes his name to Horton we find out that he isn't actually one. I know that it would rewrite history, (we know that Hogan isn't afraid to do that) but what if he turns out to be a Dimera. Maybe he will be the second Dimera that is supposed to die. |

Seriously, what are you smoking? How could younger crew possibly need more airtime? They are already on almost every day...In fact Jeremy, Stephanie, Max, Nick, and Chelsea have been on more episodes this month than any other characters..they are even ahead of the usuals leaders: EJ, Sami, and Lucas..And last month they were practically tied for the lead with Ej, Sami, and Lucas...What the show needs is more balance..That was the big complaint from December to May, and it got better in June and part of July..but it is way out of whack now.. |

Terry, I understand that you are a big fan of the younger cast members but you also have to understand that you are in the minority. Not everyone wants to watch these characters every single day. We want a more balanced show. |

Thank you. And you know, it's not even so much a balanced show that I want. I wouldn't mind seeing Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Sami, and Lucas frontburner....I just want the writing to be better for them-- especially Sami and Lucas. |

Funny that you mention that because it's the rumor making the rounds. And I don't know if this is rumor, spoiler or spec, but I heard that the condition to end the Brady/Dimera feud was for a Dimera to marry a Brady. If Lucas is a Dimera then the condtion has already been met, only no one knows it yet. Wouldn't that be wild? |

I don't know if Hogan would do that since his writing screams anti-Lumi. <_< |

I have a feeling they were going to have Lucas be a Dimera but changed it. I just feel there was a shift, then another shift, followed by another this month. I don't know why. Just a feeling. |

I believe this, because they're writing in circles. Sami gets ____ and is saved by _____. Lucas is trapped in a _____ and is saved by EJ. EJ is ________ and is rescued by Lucas. Bo and Hope go to Ireland to ________. Andre plants a bomb in ________. Nick and Chelsea have a disagreement. Nick and Chelsea make up. Marlena tells John she just got him back and doesn't want him to do anything. Coleen and Santo talk some more with accents. People gather to read a letter. The only storyline with anything resembling coherence & flow is the Touch the Sky stuff, and that seems just as weak and lacking in impact as the rest of it. Ooh, random women sold into sex slavery in Vegas. Random women I don't give a crap about, sold by a character I don't even know who's being investigated by another character I don't even know. And now Jett loves Chelsea or whatever after knowing her for like a hour, and it's all so very silly. About the younger crew- I hope to the gods there is no Salem University storyline, especially one connected to a sorority 'cause these girls are too old for that (if they were going that route they should've recast Abby and gone that way instead of Touching the Sky). If I want to watch that kind of thing I will watch reruns of 90210 or something on the CW. At least those shows know better than to throw some pecs on screen and expect instant love from the audience. To the original rant, though- the only reason to write in circles is to buy time without deploying Reilly-style dialogue and flashbacks. Unless you just suck at writing, which is a possibility. So I'll keep hope alive by clinging to this idea of shifting. |

How very uneventful! Are the fans supposed to be excited for the teens being front and center? Are we supposed to be lured in by the absense of Bo and Hope, John and Marlena, Abe and Lexie? If they had a storyline in the Fall they would have previewed it. I mean c'mon now. DAYS ratings are in the shitter, if the vets had any story at all coming up, it's be in all the mags. I'm just so fucking excited I have to sit on my hands to keep from clapping!
That's a backhanded comment Tim ;/9 It's like saying that dress looks awful on you, but I like the pattern :lol: |

Very good post and point Rick. If there was a story they would have previewed it. I mean what are they going to preview for Marlena. She listens to Sami tell about her love life. Bo & Hope continue to investigate the Feud but all the action affects everyone else and not them. I just have a feeling if the rumor is true that John dies it will turn out to be a Sami story and not a Marlena one. It will focus on how Sami deals with it just like Alan's death ended up being a Jason story over at GH instead of focusing on Monica the widow. Days is getting into a same pattern with Sami that AMC got into with Babe & Kendall under McTavish. Every story became about them and how it affected them. The same with ATWT and Katie. It is a dangerous place to go whether the star has put in their dues or not, you should never turn the whole show over to one person and make everything about them. I mean this is not a stretch for me to say this. I mean as I and others have said, the feud is only about Sami with EJ and Lucas thrown in to boot. They are the only ones who are put into danger, and Hogan has built the story to a point that not the whole Brady is to be affected by the answer to the feud but only Sami, Lucas, and EJ. I find it hard to believe that it is all Corday doing that. I mean to me Hogan has said this is the story that he wants to write, and I just call it poor writing when you take a story this long in the making and a big story at that and make the story only about 3 people. Sure there are others involved but none are even being made to be part of the outcome. To me even for a newcomer to come along that didn't know the history between Bo/Hope and John/Marlena and the DiMera's one would even wonder why they care about it to a certain extent. Hogan has just failed to build for me any reason why they would want to be involved. I am like Kev who said in regards to Sami and EJ and Lucas being attacked again - it would sure make nice variety to put someone else in danger for once. To bring someone else into the fold. The more I read about what is coming and watching what is actually happening on a daily basis, I have to wonder where all of Hogan's talent has gone. He was good at ATWT (minus a few big mistakes) and he was good in December and the first part of January but I haven't seen anything out of him since - except for a few minor highlights here and there - but I don't know if they were him or the scriptwriter. |

True, Rick. Then again, I see Bope as being involved in the Vendetta story. I agree about J&M though. All I keep recalling is when the May previews came out and the same things were said then and that month saw steady ratings (went from 1.9-2.3) and was a solid month. We'll see. I am hopeful as usual. |

Was Hogan really that good last fall or was he just new and different? I remember thinking back then things were often pretty dumb and there'd be missing plot points even then but at the time I know I was like OK I'll just go with it because I know that even if I don't like what is going to happen that day, well things will be totally different the next day because of how much faster paced things were. But maybe that was also him just wrapping up old plots (well the ones he actually felt like wrapping up and giving a conclusion). I mean of course everybody loved the guy who had Bo and Hope get back together and gave John and Marlena a romantic trip to Italy. Still, even back then he was planting the seeds of discontent with Shawn shacking up with a hooker rather than being there for Belle (ruining Shelle for me and potentially others as well as souring me on Shawn as played by Brandon Beemer almost off the bat) as well as doing all that Lumi propping racing those two back together immediately rather than with any gradual drama and without any concern for what making EJ look bad to prop Lumi did to the rest of the story. |

Aremid, I think he was really good in Dec and early Jan. Before that he was still so much in transition that I didn't care for it much. But Dec it really picked up for me and I felt the Hogan magic. Now one thing about Hogan even at ATWT he would go so fast he missed plot points. That is just a characteristic of his writing. He will go so slow over some things and others he will just skip right over them. That is part of his trademark I guess such as we talked about a few weeks ago with the triangle thing. All his triangles at ATWT and so far on Days are the same too. I hate the missed plot point things. My biggest problem with him is he just writes for the same characters over and over and over. And when he gets in taht mode and misses a bunch of plot points then it really gets bad. It was by his 3rd and 4th year of writing continuously for Barbara, Craig, Carly, and Katie with a little of Jack and a few others thrown in that people really started to get disgusted with him at ATWT too. Because it was then that the loopholes were more present because all his stories were about the same people. he is the one who made me hate Katie and not love to hate either - just plain out hate and pure disgust. He just made her the center of everything and changed her in many ways. And sadly JP still does the same. I am afraid that is what he is doing to me with Sami. I definitely don't like this version. DrewHamilton writes a better version of Sami than Hogan does. |
