Because there really hasn't been anything following the ordeals that they both went through. Bo got sick, had the surgery and a couple weeks later, he was off to Ava's house rescuing Hope and Steve. There were no real long last effects for Bo and Hope after all that went down for them. I'm sorry, but I'm not satisifed with a mention or two of Bo's recovery and Hope's shoulder injury. Bo and Hope spend more time talking about going green than they do about their own lives. |

The way Philip was flashing his dimples at her didn't seem to indicate that he finds her bitchy and annoying. Chloe may be in Philip's pants - for now - but he can't get Morgan out of his head. |

Phillip and Chloe have zero chemistry - Next I don't have high hopes for Lucas and Chloe either. Perhaps it's just Chloe ... |

Nadia Bjorlin has had all the charisma that she regained in her November return last year sucked out of her. She's once again dull as dishwater. Right now, I doubt she'd have chemistry with a doorknob. |

What should there be? They had discussions about it back in April and we still get mentions. Seriously, I just don't see what else some want concerning Bo's illness and Hope's shoulder injury was so minor I almost feel mentioning it at all is a waste of time. I'm not dumb. I see that the show has many flaws but I think some complaints are actually bordering on nitpicking. Hogan, whom I love, did some of the very things Higley is doing and he wasn't called out nearly as much as Dena is. I'm not in love with her writing either and I know her history but I do not think she is doing as bad a job as many think. The show is average and, yes, compared to the writing of last year that isn't good but I don't necessarily think the show is a piece of shit like some are acting like it is. |

Lucas singing to the baby was cute! I also liked the EJ/Nicole scenes and when Sami brought him home. James was funny in those scenes. It was funny when John said "Daddy's home" or something along those lines too. :D Bo and Hope dancing was kind of cheesy, but I didn't mind it. |

Nadia has that dead pan delivery down pat .... The one thing that amazed me is that EJ and Sami made love once and man they were a mess afterwards, sweating and exhausted. Chloe and Phillip have sex what four/five times and not a hair out of place on Nadia, no sweat, no one looked exhausted. EJ and Sami were spent - but Phillip and Chloe looked like they did it in 30 seconds or less. Five times grant you but the quality and effort was sorely lacking.

Did you ever consider the possibility that Philip and Chloe simply have more stamina? ;) That, and it's been eight years. I'm not surprised it is over quickly. LOL He must want her pretty badly though to go at it this often. :D I think all their love scenes have been fantastic, and the cutest was today when she was curled up against him and he was playing with her hair. Loved it! |

I don't know why, but I'm really not finding it as bad/as boring as some of you are. And I usually love to critique DAYS. |

My guess Phillip found Victor's Viagra and Chloe slept thru most of it. Edited by cjknick, Jun 2 2008, 09:59 PM.

EJ and Nicole rocked this episode..Kudos to James for playing a fantastic drunk...He was extremely realistic and it was nice seeing Nicole's softer side show a bit..She is really starting to care for EJ and it is unfair that Sami has 2 men fighting over her..EJ and Nicole's entire conversation was fantastic, and i loved when Sami showed up to get him..Finally, EJ falling down at the mansion was hilarious...I also really liked Lucas' reaction to it all.. Lucas singing to Johnny was pretty cute as well.. Bo and Hope had nice scenes, but i hope they get a story soon..I would love an adventure for them..but not sure if Dena could give it justice.. The rest of the show was a little boring, but glad John is finally out of jail..And at least we got a little bit of a cliffhanger today..and also finally tomorrow marks a new day..This day was supposedly the same day as the drug bust.. |

I'd love an adventure story for Bope, but one written by Dena Higley? The last time she tried that was with the God-awful bounty hunter storyline. |

It has to be so hard for a writer to come up with stories for a couple like Bo and Hope...An affair or third party is out of the question, because fans will not accept that and also Bo and Hope are so past that...One of them has already been presumed dead, they've already done an amnesia storyline, an alter ego storyline...And we just had a sickness storyline, that didn't go over so well...Fans gets pissed when Bo and Hope's storyline involves their children..An adventure storyline is all we are really left with, or just Bo and Hope as cops..Which isn't that exciting.. |

Therein lies the problem and it's basically why they have nothing right now. As for an adventure story, we've been to that well so many times, no matter what it would be been there done that, which is the problem with Days. When you have so many vets, there is very few things that can be done that haven't and when you have couples that can't be broken up or given drama that brings their relationship to the brink, that further limits your choices as a writer, which is why I do tend to cut Days some slack no matter who is writing. I will say the Bope fanbase are usually satisfied with what they get and always seeing the positive so I don't think they would be very hard to please.

Please! When Hogan fucked up I was the first to call him out on it. I believe I've even gone into debates with you over Hogan, who you were defending even back then. Don't say that I'm nitpicking and don't even accuse me of not going after Hogan. I was not one of those posters that defended everything Hogan did. When Hogan fucked up, I owned up to it. As for Bo and Hope, I do feel that the transplant storyline dropped off afterwards because aside from a few mere mentions, nothing has been accomplished. What was the point of making Bo the sick character? To introduce Daniel Jonas so Chelsea could get her groove on with the old doctor? No thanks. I'm asking what did it accomplish for Bo and Hope as characters? Nothing. They're still the same people they were before the transplan. I'm sorry, but the patient and his wife are not going to act the same way after a near death experience like that. Hope should be constantly concerned about Bo as she almost lost her husband, just like she lost her child. They should be playing on Hope's fear of losing another person close to her. But they're not. It's like Hope is just like, "Oh, Brady, you're fine. Just a little scar. Nothing else. Lets salsa!" Hey Higley, :moon: ^ Kiss it! |

How about a character driven storyline where Hope is changed after Bo's near death experience. She just lost her son 2 years ago, and she nearly lost her husband. She can't be just fine and dandy after all of that. Why not do a storyline that tells us how she feels? Oh, that's right because that would take character driven points and Higley's unable to do that. All she knows how to do is write events, remember? |

Drew, you mention they are still the same people. Well, if they weren't, people would bitch. Maybe you wouldn't but the oh so wonderful fanbases would. They would bitch about how much they have changed. That is what happened last year. There was one episode with Bo. I think it was the episode after Benji's death and he had this long scene where he talked about being a cop and how hard it was on days like that. It was wonderful and I remember many saying it was but I went elsewhere and people were bitching about how Bo was a different character and so on. Same thing with Hope. Hogan had Hope becoming a bit of a gossip queen, which was interesting but many hated it. If Dena chose to use the transplant story to change Bo and Hope in some way, there would definitely be people bitching. Let me just say I'm not disagreeing. I understand the points. I just think the show would be damned if they do and damned if they don't on many of the points and I don't feel what many is asking is necessary. JMO. |

Let them bitch. Write a good fucking story so that you can insure that you're a good writer and keep a good reputation. If that's not possible, then leave the fucking job and find a new one. Higley pisses me off. |

^That would be my feeling too but no writer will ever be allowed to go along with that sentiment with Corday around. Otherwise, Hogan would not have had any issues getting his stuff onscreen. |

Well we do feel that it's necessary. If you don't disagree, then what's the point of the debtate? |
