Thanks Angie.

This summer is the worst I have seen on DOOL in years. The canvas is littered with people I don't care about and couples that have zero chemistry.

As bad as some things were with HS, at least we had snappy dialogue and I knew the characters and cared about them.

Oh no for me last year was much worse with the random elevator hook-ups both leading to engagments and marriages that are still together! Huh? I found everyone acting like Pod versions of themselves especially Chloe and Lucas...I mean they had about 2 or 3 conversations before that elevator thing happened. Riddiculous and unbelievable.

We had John Black and Ava Vitali....a lot of craziness last summer because of the writer strike so many different writers and no continuity or consistency in the storylines or dialogue. There was a lot of rubbish. :lol:

I agree. This summer is so much better. The writing is much better now than it was last summer.

I'm torn. Last year was worse with couples since we had the elevator sex (with Lucas/Chloe) and Chan, but then the characters I liked were on the show like Nick, Chelsea, Steve and Kayla and Philip wasn't ruined yet.

I'd have to agree that last year was worse. Lots of crazy ass stories that didn't make sense and lots of jumping around with stories and couples. Summer of Love, my ass!
And the year before had the WORST with Touch the Sky on during the summer.

So yea, I'd take this summer over the last two. It hasn't been THAT bad...although the upcoming stuff isn't catching my attention, but technically, the summer is over.

This is all a matter of opinion and perception but IMHO this is the worst summer I have seen on DOOL in years. I actually enjoyed DOOL last summer more than I am enjoying the show this summer. Days was really good in August/2008. I also enjoyed Days during the summer of 2007 more than I am this summer. For the most part, I am board to tears with DOOL this summer. :sleep:

If Days continues with these boring, plot-driven storylines, there is a good chance Days will be cancelled in 2010. Days managed to hit 1.6 in HH ratings at one point during the week of August 3-7 this year. The good news is with the return of Carly and Vivian in the fall, TIIC of this show have a chance to get their act together and earn back lost viewer and get better ratings. If this show wants to survive past 2010, the producing and writing is going to have to get much better and the ratings are going to have to improve. I am a fan of Days and I don’t want it to be cancelled. I hope TIIC take a que from Rafe and get a clue. LOL

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepCDN TV Guide Spoilers
I'm only speaking for myself here, but I wouldnt hold my breathe. If you ask me all of these storylines are either getting worse or goin in circles. Take you pick.
The truth of the matter is Rafe isnt goin no where, now that hes on Nicole's heels, and we all should have known Sami and Rafe arent gonna leave each other alone for a great amount of time. He's staying in Salem because he loves Sami and thinks she needs protected from what? Now you will answer that one, cause I have no idea! :shrug: :shrug:
I am thinking that Rafe feels that Sami still needs protecting from the Dimeras. I am sure that he is not in anyway trusting any of them, including Nicole. The closer he gets to the babyswitch truth, the more suspicious of all of them he will become. The real truth is that Rafe loves Sami and can't leave her. Remember when they were at the airport and he was going to leave for NY, he said it would bother him if they weren't in the same city. He said, in fact, I think it would kill me. Same thing here.
Well frankly Rafe did not look heart broken , actually he looked like he could careless. I thought it was a little weird really,but knew it is because lumi is on its way back.

IMO, Rafe looked plenty heartbroken when he and Sami ran into each other at the hospital and when he tells Ari that if anything happened to Sami, he couldn't take it. To me, he sure didn't look like he could care less. Why would he tell Sami he loved her and he couldn't do this to her and the kids if he didn't care? He could have just walked away from her.

i agree that they are dragging out these s/l too long and people are losing interest in especially the babyswitch. It should have been over long ago. It starts to get interesting with Rafe investigating and then they stop it for a few weeks; then, they pick it back up. If it's not going to be uncovered until November, there will be a lot more of that going on.
