This is a different, mysterious side to Max that has been unexplored. I like the idea and would rather watch this then his player side again!

i agree.

i dont even care if it came out of nowhere.

Both JER and Hogan did nothing with Max. There was no development at all. It was like a tossed salad. Everytime he turned up, he would be a different character. He was barely on at all and sometimes he would shot up as a player and sometimes as a typical Brady hero. That is why I can't fault Higley on this when there was hardly any development of Max to speak of prior to this. She finally picked a direction and ran with it.

While true, Reilly and Hogan didn't do much to expand who Max is, they did something and laid some foundation. And within a few months, Max has turned into this one woman closeted genius and his days as a player are just forgotten. It's just not believable for me. And if I can't believe it, I'm not interested. And that's slowly becoming a lot on this show lately.

It's all about plot and fuck the characters and what they'd truly do. Thank God OLTL is around or else this would be like 2003 all over again, me just not giving a damn about DAYS and when I was only a DAYS fan that meant I didn't give a damn about soaps in general.

God, amen to that! And I really don't care if I'm called a hater for saying so, either.

but that max of 3 years ago isnt who he is today. he isnt a hot rod race car driver who would fuck anythign that walked by now. he moved home, he bonded with his family again, hes calmed down. i like that.

his player past. what should be done with it? psycho ex girlfriend? long lost baby? should he be fighting the urge to fuck anything that walks now?

im not defneding the storyline because it did come out of nowhere, and that is stupid. but i dont think it changes who max is. all we ever knew about him during his time away from salem was that he wa s ahorny race car driver.

i guess im okay with it because there is a lot we dont know about him tho. and i lvo the dynamic between him, nick, and stephanie.

I am kinda liking it now too. I am curious to see where they are going with this. It is much better than Max just going from girl to girl! I still wish they would bring Abby back though.

I thought today's show was pretty good. The Ejami scenes were hot!! It was nice to see Abe and Lexie at home and in more than just a scene or two. I am not really a fan of them as a couple, but I still enjoyed it. I liked the Max/Stephanie/Nick scenes too. Maybe they should go with Stephanie and Nick! I will never like the Stax pairing.

Amber sure is forward! I liked the scenes though and how uncomfortable Dr Dan was.

Pretty much the only way I'd be interested in seeing a story for Max, at this point, would be if they were to bring Abby back. But since it doesn't appear that that's going to happen...

God, I hated the dialogue in those scenes. Does anyone really talk like that? (No)

thats sad. abby is sooo needed, IMHO.

I love Morgan, and she actually fits well into the philip storyline. but thats again leaves us with only chelsea/stephanie as young woamn in the young storyline, and them both being related to max, and the writers refusing to write anything for nick, its just.. abby is needed.

Sorry, but I think it was pretty much given Max is the classic soap skirt cheaser who is deep down wating for his Miss Perfect and will eventually turn into an amazing and very romantic guy. Thatīs what they tried to portrait with him and Abby, but she left, and thatīs finally happened between him and Stephanie. IMO, itīs very in character.

Well I hate the Max is a sudden genius storyline. First of all, Max didn't even do his own accounting at the garage so when did he suddenly become all knowledgeable in math? As a geek myself, Max could possibly be very smart (which is so hilarious to write w/o laughing outlout) and be a quick learner but you don't automatically KNOW math. I'm sorry. Especially the equations and forumlas Nick would be working on. There would be stuff in there that Max would never have seen before, much less glance through and suddenly be able to correct on a whim. That's insulting to anyone who went to college and took anything higher than algebra. Unless Stephanie finds some math journals and worksheets stuffed up under his mattress, I am not buying that Max picked this up on his own.

Meanwhile I love Nick which isn't shocking. I think he's been doing well constantly questioning Max in this. He's stood up to him over and over when Max keeps acting all assholeish (new word) offended everytime he gets questioned on it, Nick KNOWS something isn't right. But NIck is also a good guy and when your best friend is telling you he didn't do it over and over, you want to believe him, but the evidence is obviously contradicting everything he's saying.

I've never been a Max fan. Didn't get into him as a race car driver, can't buy Darrin Brooks as some kind of womanizing stud (seriously?) and when they finally decide to make him something I think fits with him, a bartender, they change it as that isn't good enough and have to make him some Good Will Hunting (which Will was never this jerkish about it). It's a chance to prop Max and now it's at Nick's expense, the one thing Nick had that made him special. Yes, it's irritating. But it's the only story Nick has at the moment.

Which I loved Nick and Stephanie's scenes. I hope they become good friends.

Hated Chelsea and Daniel. Not sure what the point was for makeout session #28 with now a random doctor hitting on Daniel cause his magical surfing penis is too much for women to stay away from. Chelsea reacting wasn't funny to me cause it's only gonna make her more crazy and God knows Chelsea is being pathetically stalker enough. I hope they crash and burn and Chelsea gets her heart broken like she's done to Nick over and over.

Not much of an EJami fan but they were hot and seriously it's nice to see a couple with chemistry together instead of other couples I find tasteless and disgusting being rammed down our throats.

I was reading alittle bit of the recaps for tomorrow's (thursday's show) Sami's seems alittle bit nicer about EJ in those scences. And I just got to say I love John so much he rocks in tomorrow's show. He even defends Sami. Marlena does to but it's almost like an after thought. Maybe if lucas finds someone new I could become a fan of EJ and Sami but only if sami really does want him. I do see the chemistry between them too. I just get so mad at sami. And that love scene was fantasic and down right entertaining.LOL

Hey remember when I said all my hatred for Lucas had subsided in his absence and so it didn't bother me at all that he was back?

Yeah... that didn't last long.


For the life of me, I can't figure out Lucas's appeal. Other than the fact that some people may be a fan of BD, what is the good in this character? Every time he opens his mouth, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. He's either screaming or being pompous, arrogant, egotistical, nonsensical, overbearing.....and those are his good points. He has refused to see Sami countless times, he won't take phone calls, he did nothing to provide for her and Allie while he was in jail (although his half-brother and mother have money), and he has the gall to be angry because she moved in with her mother and stepfather? And he doesn't have the intelligence to figure out EJ DIMERA is also living in the DIMERA mansion? You know, the guy he shot in cold blood? And Maggie and Mickey aren't going to tell him this? They are going to let him just show up unannounced at the home of his victim? And the court agrees to this living arrangement? Lucas has been back two days, and I'm already frustrated with the whole storyline.....AGAIN!

I'm almost dreading today's show, when Lucas shows up in Sami's bedroom. It makes me wish I had an old, regular TV so I could throw things at it without worrying about punching a hole in the flat screen.

On a positive note, I'm liking Stephanie in her scenes with Nick. They have a good chemistry together.

I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them together either. Nick deserves a storyline and Chelsea so doesn't deserve him.
