I see what your saying but I do think the fact that they are exploring her alcoholism means this could have legs for her.
Well, has it actually been confirmed anywhere that Maggie will in fact go back to drinking? We've had a bunch of maybe's and possibly's, but the only thing that's been 100% confirmed so far is that Mickey's gonna bite it.
It hasn't been confirmed (I feel it's a safe bet though) but since they mentioned a story for her (and Suzanne and Molly both called it a story) I would assume she would if they want it to have legs. Otherwise, all you have is Maggie in mourning and that would fizzle quickly.

EXACTLY! :lol:
Do we know it's only going to be about her mourning though?

That is my point. We don't know either way. Suzanne and Molly referred to it as a story and so far everything points to it being a story, at least in my judgment. I would also say the fact that there are already rumors of her falling off the wagon and possibly being in an accident is a sure sign that this won't be some one month thing.

If this thing fizzles out by the end of February/early March, I will be the first to eat crow and give you props. Until then, acting like it's some sort of pre-destined conclusion based on what has happened in the past just doesn't seem fair to me. JMO.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

OK. Just to be contrary I guess, my personal feeling is no wheelchair story for Will (since that would seem to involve Lucas and the show doesn't want to write for him) and the recast was for romantic scene reasons and not him having some injury coming up.

Just have to be a buzz-kill, don't ya? :laugh: .

Just kidding. I see what your saying but I do think the fact that they are exploring her alcoholism means this could have legs for her. I mean, let's say she does get in an accident with Will and gets paralyzed. That isn't just going to go away. Yes, it will be about Sami but Maggie's role in it won't diminish. It will still be just as much a Maggie story as it is Sami/Will/etc. How can it not be? It's not like she just gets in the accident and goes away LOL. There will be repercussions to play it and she will still have to be a lead to be able to handle it right as she would be the one whose actions caused it.
I'm just being realistic, not living in some dream world. LOL! :lol:

I agree that whatever happens in the rumored accident will have an affect on Maggie. HOWEVER, the storyline, at the end of the day, is going to be about a character like Sami or Rafe over Maggie. She'll play a part in the story, but it will never be about her. That's just the way shows, especially DAYS, are today. While the vets are being played tremendously, they're only supporting characters and won't be anything else.
It's not a dream world LOL. It's just being optimistic. Otherwise, how can you ever get excited? :laugh:

Here is the thing: If Maggie gets into an accident with one of those kids, it can't not be about her. It may be about Sami, yes, and others. However, Maggie still HAS to be at a lead in the story. It still HAS to be about her. If she nearly kills one of Sami's kids, it's all on her for causing it. That won't go away so how would that make it not about Maggie? Maggie would be right up there with Sami, Rafe, etc as she caused it. It would still be just as much her story.
I get excited when there's something to get excited about. Anna's upcoming return has me excited. A potential return from Tony has me excited. These are things that I could actually see happen. Suzanne Rogers being the lead in a storyilne in 2010 is just not going to happen. LOL!

It certainly can happen and not be solely about her. Maggie is featured a lot as she deals with Mickey's death. She stats drinking and gets into an accident with one of Sami's kids, probably Will due to the recast. Maggie senses that what she did can never happen again and gets the help that she apparently needs. She goes to rehab and the comes out of it after her program is complete. It just happened to Lucas! LOL! He fell off the wagon and what happened?

If the Will speculation happens, i can see him becoming paralyzed and then the story is about him and probably Mia and Gabi, setting up a quadrangle with Chad thrown in as well. Sure, when Maggie returns from rehab, completely okay once again, we may get some resentment from Will, but that will be just shown in scenes that involve the two.

Are we really going by the actors' use of the word story? Come on now. Scenes, story, tom-A-to, tom-ah-to. :lol:

Look, you're speculating and so am I. Just because my speculation is negative means that I shouldn't speculate? Not everything is positive as far as DAYS is concerned, even though you probably wish it was. I've been a fan of this show for years now. I think I know what I'm talking about. Years of past disappointments back my speculations up. I'm not just pulling all of this out of my ass. LOL!

LOL ok. I don't mean to get on your case. Just having a little fun. I just think a bit more of this regime then you. I mean, they did shock everyone with Anna's top secret return so don't you think it's at least possible they will make her a lead in a story like this for a lengthy period of time? That is what I'm basing my optimism on.

Just to be clear...if she gets a story, I will be expecting a "I was wrong" :tounge:.

I know where your coming from. I used to be just as jaded but it's just not worth it.

Anyway, I don't feel anyone is pulling anything out of their asses. This board is full of people who have watched for years and I can fully understand taking the approach you and others may be. I just think there is just as much evidence with this regime to suspect they may surprise us as there is that they won't. That's all.

I have no problem owning up to things. I was a firm basher of both Daniel and Chloe and then Philip and Melanie. I have recently come around to both couples. Unlike some people on this board, I can admit when I was wrong because I'm able to change my mind. It's not a crime like some people like to make it out to be and throw it in your face.

If Maggie becomes the lead in this story and is the top featured actress on DAYS for the first half of 2010, then GOOD FOR HER! I will be extremly happy for Rogers. I just don't see it happening. This is DAYS we're talking about, not Y&R or OLTL.

As for the Anna surprise, I'm not giving the show credit to keeping that a secret. It just so happened to be occurring when the show went dark. If this part of the story was being told back October, we would've heard the kidnapper was Anna and why she was doing it back in September. Unfortunately, she show went dark and no sources were able to give out any scoop.

What evidence though? Aside from bringing back fan favorites, who I never thought I'd see again, for particular storylines, I haven't been surprised by anything this regime has done. Am I entertained? Yes. I've been entertained by past regimes as well. Returns from people we never thought we'd see again have happened before. So no shock there.

And I am going off of the past year of what this regime showed they are capable of to further my speculation. Nothing that's happened in the past year gives me any indication that the show will prove me wrong and give Rogers a leading storyline. Sorry.

What could've been dragged out for at least a week or two of scenes with Sami and Will and even Maggie trying to convince Lucas that he needs to go to rehab, while he's convinced that he doesn't have a problem, all got concluded in one episode. Lucas hardly denied having a problem at all. Where is the realism there? Instead of watching a soap opera, I felt like I was watching an episode of Full House.

And that was this regime that did this. Should I really be expecting anything else for Maggie?

I was just teasing, Drew. I've seen you own up to things.

I also don't think the whole Anna thing was taped while the show was dark. They filmed most of that on a closed set. Days is well ahead on taping and they were shooting early January right before the show went through it's last dark period and there is no way they shot the Anna scenes and spliced them in last minute before the episodes aired. Those would've had to be filmed in late October, which is when all of what we were seeing was filmed. LeAnn, herself, even mentioned how she had to keep it a secret for awhile and it was mentioned the show filmed the scenes in secret.

The fact that it was dark helped to keep the secret until the last minute but they still had to keep it a secret while they were shooting the scenes and before and after the show went dark.

Ok. Fine for you. I understand. I feel differently and I'm sure others do to. This regime has done something no regime has since B&C and that is long-term plan their stories. They took a cliched baby switch story and added layer on layer to it and made it compelling. They've given vets not used in years active roles. Do they all have stories of their own? Maybe not but it's more then other regimes and I do have hope that one of them (Suzanne, perhaps) may end up with one of their own. They came up with a way to bring returning favorites back and give them compelling story. Maybe the issue is I feel this regime has done more for this show then any regime has done in daytime in a decade with the exception of Ron C. at OLTL and you see it as nothing special. That's fine. I just think they deserve more credit then maybe some are giving them. JMO.

We don't know when these scenes were filmed, so there's no point in arguing that. It's nothing that can be proved, so it's just your opinion on when they were filmed against mine.

In the end, pulling off a surprise like keeping Hunley's return hidden still doesn't make me believe that this show is going to give a woman in her 60s her own storyline. The thought is just ridiculous. This is Days of our FREAKING Lives.

Then give it all of the praise in the world! No one's stopping you. But I'm allowed to say whatever I want and you need to be accept that. It's my opinion, just like your opinions are your opinions. I've found in that past that you will defend your opinion to the wee hours of the night. Why can't I defend mine without being made out to be a cynical bastard? LOL! And before you say anything about that, I know you never called me that or never intended for things to come off that way. I'm just being dramatic. :lol:

I don't have to give them any credit I don't feel they deserve. The show has improved. I've never denied that. That's not what the issue is at hand here. That's not even the issue that I am talking about. My issue is that DAYS will never give a woman in her 60s that hasn't had a storyline in decades her own leading storyline in the year 2010 or beyond. That's just a reality.

I also don't think the whole Anna thing was taped while the show was dark. They filmed most of that on a closed set. Days is well ahead on taping and they were shooting early January right before the show went through it's last dark period and there is no way they shot the Anna scenes and spliced them in last minute before the episodes aired. Those would've had to be filmed in late October, which is when all of what we were seeing was filmed. LeAnn, herself, even mentioned how she had to keep it a secret for awhile and it was mentioned the show filmed the scenes in secret.

The fact that it was dark helped to keep the secret until the last minute but they still had to keep it a secret while they were shooting the scenes and before and after the show went dark.
We don't know when these scenes were filmed, so there's no point in arguing that. It's nothing that can be proved, so it's just your opinion on when they were filmed against mine.

In the end, pulling off a surprise like keeping Hunley's return hidden still doesn't make me believe that this show is going to give a woman in her 60s her own storyline. The thought is just ridiculous. This is Days of our FREAKING Lives.
You can actually go over to Prevuze or the other day ahead boards and find out when they were filmed. I also happen to know when they were filmed but that is not for this thread. I only bring it up just so you know I'm not pulling stuff out of my ass.

Again, your point is noted. Your skeptical. I never am. That is what divides us LOL.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepwillOtherwise, all you have is Maggie in mourning and that would fizzle quickly.
What evidence though? Aside from bringing back fan favorites, who I never thought I'd see again, for particular storylines, I haven't been surprised by anything this regime has done. Am I entertained? Yes. I've been entertained by past regimes as well. Returns from people we never thought we'd see again have happened before. So no shock there.

And I am going off of the past year of what this regime showed they are capable of to further my speculation. Nothing that's happened in the past year gives me any indication that the show will prove me wrong and give Rogers a leading storyline. Sorry.
Ok. Fine for you. I understand. I feel differently and I'm sure others do to. This regime has done something no regime has since B&C and that is long-term plan their stories. They took a cliched baby switch story and added layer on layer to it and made it compelling. They've given vets not used in years active roles. Do they all have stories of their own? Maybe not but it's more then other regimes and I do have hope that one of them (Suzanne, perhaps) may end up with one of their own. They came up with a way to bring returning favorites back and give them compelling story. Maybe the issue is I feel this regime has done more for this show then any regime has done in daytime in a decade with the exception of Ron C. at OLTL and you see it as nothing special. That's fine. I just think they deserve more credit then maybe some are giving them. JMO.
Then give it all of the praise in the world! No one's stopping you. But I'm allowed to say whatever I want and you need to be accept that. It's my opinion, just like your opinions are your opinions. I've found in that past that you will defend your opinion to the wee hours of the night. Why can't I defend mine without being made out to be a cynical bastard? LOL! And before you say anything about that, I know you never called me that or never intended for things to come off that way. I'm just being dramatic. :lol:
I know it's your opinion. Is that like the de factor response to every debate I get into? LMAO.

I'm well aware that people are allowed different opinions. Hence why I've gotten in the habit of posting "JMO" in many of my posts to avoid people thinking I'm being an offensive "my opinion matters more" asshole.

I just like to debate, especially with you. It's fun. :laugh:

But I'm done for the night now but I did enjoy this.

And you don't have to be skeptical. But if I choose to be, I'm going to be. I just don't appreciate being told that I should be giving the show credit that I don't feel they deserve. You feel they deserve it and you feel they've proved something's changed and a 65 year old woman could be given her own leading storyline. That's fine. I just don't see it happening at all.

You can see Tony so that sort of gives it away LOL
I thought it looked like Stefano?
lolol I wasn't sure who it was supposed to be. Everyone's saying you can tell it's Tony and I'm like "You can?!" All I can see is someone with dark hair. What confuses me is which of these sets is the Horton cabin?! Or are neither one of them really the Horton cabin and whoever at Sony is in charge of this is smoking large quantities of crack?
Looks like Tony to me LOL. I also just assumed it was Tony.

Oh, and Kenny, I think we may see her take her first drink at the wake. I can see her struggling and then really having difficulty during the wake and, once everyone is gone, she loses it and gives in.
I sure hope everyone is right. This has potential to be a blockbuster story, but if it's screwed up in any way, shape and form then Chris, Gary and the ones in charge of it need to be fired and a new regime put in place. Don't mess it up. You've got potential for this to be a REALLY, REALLY good story.

By the way, Carlivati writes circles around this Days writing staff, although this Days staff isn't bad. (Couldn't resist. I shall release my claws now.)

Ok. I WAS done but since you stated something I feel I should clarify...

I was talking about in general. I feel the show has been slighted. Not necessarily with message board faithful (although it has to some extent) but overall. I've read your posts this year and think you have given a substantial amount of credit to the show. Maybe not in the instance of Anna's surprise return but that's fine. We just disagree on that.
