I think Mia smiled too. When she believed Nicol has her child and she and Will started dating she seemed almost ready to move on, but of course Chad returned and she got depressed again. And now she is depressed not only because Grace is dead, but is christmas and she has no family and no mum to be with. I hope with the Will recast they will invest into the teens more and make the stories more interesting so they donīt feel as such obvious filler, but I think the poor girl has all the reason in the world to feel depressed and just go through the motion. Iīm more surprised she is not drinking or using some prescription drugs. Edited by jane1978, Dec 22 2009, 07:40 PM.

Dragon, I was thinking the same thing about EJ going into that tiny room after Brianna got it on and LOL at your whole post. EJ is a real dipshit. I don't know what Mia's deal is or if it's Taylor. I get that she's melancholy but she looks stoned in her scenes. I keep thinking this girl just needs to crawl into bed and sleep for a week. Will must be a saint. I thought Mia's dress was pretty, it looked a bit like a nightie but coming from the mall that looks like what's in style. Will's suit does look like he stole from an old man. Lexie should just cut Stefano out once and for all. I felt bad for Stefano. The kiss was a bit like politicians kissing but I thought it was sweet. Casey needs to stand up straight because he looks like a hunched up old man in his scenes with Gabby. What's strange is that i found myself liking Gabby a tiny bit today even though she was a total B but compare to Mia, she's a regular Little Miss Sunshine. Bo, Hope, Carly stuff was ok. Hope is majorly insecure right now and she wants Bo to eat a mile of her shit before she gives an inch. Just when I can't take her anymore, KA brings out the emotions in Hope and she draws me back in. Carly just had to throw in that bit about "I'll think about what you said" or whatever it was but she just had to say that to make Hope suspicious and feel out of the loop. I don't think it's out of line for Sami to ask what kind of evil person would kidnap a baby. In Sami's mind, she's freaking out that the kidnapper is a stranger and who knows what kind of creepy weirdo it is, she's thinking worse case scenario. |

Now thinking about it, remember Mia and her wish to be a dancer in Japan??? LMAO, this girl being HAPPY and entertaining the Japanese (or ANY audience.) She's always been this way. She was ok at times, but now that its just the teens, god THEY SUCK the air out of DAYS. Its like summertime all over again! Sometimes I watch them, but most of the times, its FF! |

maybe cause the writers don't want her to? ;) We have enough Mia angst without that being added. |

Is it just the impression the director gives them that they have to act all emo, head hanging down, slouchy, perpetually bummed? I teach, and I see that, but I certainly see a lot of smiling teens, too. The forever gloom really is blech. |

I'm watching Friday's OLTL on Hulu (I think I'm going to start watching regularly on Hulu). IMO, OLTL's teens run circles around Days's teens. |

I loveddd ari and ej's scenes today...ive loved all their scenes but this one was so sweet...i really feel like theyre building a friendship..an emotional connection instead of just the lustful vengeful sex i thought they were gonna have :laugh: I loved the way he looked at her, the way she seems so concerned for him and is so sweet to him (despite rafe and brady tellin her not to) and the kiss and intimate touch he gave her... :cheer: so excited to see where this goes...i need more sooon :popcorn: |

Hope and Lexie - eee! My favorite DAYS friendship - so refreshing to see them. I loved Hope laughing at the corpse discovery - what a biatch, that was totally not funny (even though it kind of is, lol). LoL did Kate say she was coming back with a file baked into a cake? I am NOT liking LK's plastic surgery! Not a good look! What the hell going on with her face? Lighting or 'work' done?? I notice it especially when she tries to play emotional scenes...like pre-smooch with Stefano. So Anna wants to make sure Sydney didn't grow up in the "hell" Tony did? Um, what about Johnny? or Theo? Why just Sydney? I find Anna a good comedy character...less of an 'evil' bitch than Kate, but still entertaining, nontheless. Ariana and Gabby are both pointless, but their scenes are still cute. Teen scene is a snooze. Chad doesn't fit in with this group at ALL... he's too tall, too awkward and too old for the rest of this crew. What kind of pills was Sami taking? How random. And on to the highlight of today's show.... LOL to Kate and Sami! That was gold! EJ saying "YOU - answer the question!" was pretty funny too. Those scenes were way too short, which is a shame. They could have dragged Kate out as a suspect longer, but I guess she really isn't behind the kidnapping. Would have been an awesome twist, though. Anyway, I thought it was a little contrived that Kate randomly had an email that she returned the same boots 2 weeks ago I had to laugh when Kate said "I've meddled a LITTLE bit." Really Kate, a little? And holy awkward kiss with Kate and Stefano. Did that seem random to anyone else? I loved the build up to it though - partners in crime, woot! |

DAYS hasn't gotten teens right since the era of Shawn and Belle, IMO. Abby, Chelsea, Max (who isn't even a teen) were all pointless, too. It was particularly strange that we never saw them at school - the show got obsessed with SORASing Chelsea, and in turn, Abby got aged quickly as well. |

LoL I liked that about the Shelle era...it felt realistic! I also didn't like that Chelsea became the face of that teen scene when Abby is more of a legacy character. Abby was totally demoted to side kick, and it's all because of Ashley Benson...she couldn't sell that Max story at ALL. I have NO desire to see this crew in school though, god, they bore me to tears! It's honestly too bad they cast Casey Deidrick with this group - I hate to say it, because I think he has potential, but he sticks out like a sore thumb. They can't really move him into other stories if he's playing 16 (whereas Melanie's playing 19/20), because it's simply too young. |

Why do they keep having Justin talking about how him and Adrianne are getting a divorce yet they never explain WHY? It's getting beyond annoying and repetitive. How can they have Justin as a love interest for Hope yet they haven't shared any scenes much together in the last month? There's been no scenes to suggest that anything is going to happen with these two. So why are they going in the direction of pairing them up? I just don't see any chemistry with these two. They had some when Justin first came back but now it seems as if the spark has gone between these two. I'm wondering if it's because this sl has taken too long to execute and the chemistry between the two has just gone. I wish they would give Justin something more to do. His scenes in the Canadian day ahead were so short, stupid and pointless that there really wasn't a need for them to be there. I hate the way tghey are wasting him in this stupid sl with Bo/Hope/Carly. Wallyh deserves better treatment then this. I hope they give him a better love interest then Hope as I feel the Hope/Justin pairing just isn't going to work. There is no interest in that pairing so why would the writers put them together? As for Bo and Carly I don't like how they are writing them. Particularly Carly. I don't like that they have made her so pathetic and needy and all over Bo. He's married and it makes her look like a homewrecker and a sl*t! Sorry but after reading the SOD 2010 spoiler about Bo and Carly it's made me angry! I was hoping they would bring Carly back in a better way not as an interloper in the Bope marriage, I was hoping they wouldn't reduce Carly to Billie's level. Now it seems they are. It frustrates me because I like Carly I just didn't want her reduced to this. |

Well JMO but it would take A LOT for Carly to reach the level of pathetic needy sluttiness of Billie. 1. As far as we know, she is not and has not pit raped him. 2. As far as we know, she has not deflowered her daughter's boyfriend. But seriously... I don't see how Carly is that much of a homewrecker. Hope done wrecked that home herself pretty good in uprooting Ciara and moving out without telling Bo, and Bo did as well before Carly even got there. Carly has even offered to tell Hope her secret even after she got burned with Victor having her arrested thanks to Hope earlier, but Bo stopped her from doing it. As far as being a slut... the jury's still out. As far as we know she's had sex with 3 dudes over the span of like 25 years, 2 of whom were husbands or quasi-husbands. I don't think it's that slutty. |

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the reason they recast Dylan Patton was he was sort of a casualty of BD's contract not getting renewed. Like... because he looked too much like Lucas and they wanted a son who looked more like Sami knowing BD wouldn't be around much longer, they decided to send Dylan Patton packing as well. Just a thought. |

You better believe it. They SMILE! They have fun. They show emotion. Starr Manning went thru a similiar situation as Mia, but Kristen Alderson played her with so much more of range of emotion. There is more than just "there". Anger, for one. Grief. Yes, TS showed some grief once, and she did well against Arianne Zucker in her outbursts. When the teens are with each other though? I guess there isn't enough experience for each of them to be able to feed off the other well. Except T (Tad). I like that dude. |

No one seems to worry about Johnny or Theo, plus, Theo has Abe. Abe has tried to keep his family at some safe arm's length for a while, even when they DO socialize with Stephano. Abe and Lexie are both on their guards. Plus, they don't live in DiMansion. Johnny? He's there for decoration, so there's another big brother to root for Sydney and have an "awww" factor. And Caroline has him more than Sami or EJ do, anyway. ;) |

When a marriage is already cracked and broken, there is no interloper. The cause of Bo and Hope's marital problems is HOPE. Plain and simple. Hope has been treating Bo like cr*p for years. She throws hissy fits whenever he does not do exactly what she wants when she wants. She has left Bo three or more times. Carly came to Bo because she trusted him. Hope left Bo because she does not trust him. It's a no brainer that Bo might be getting a bit tired of being told what an untrusty, rotten, lousy husband and father he is. And guess what, Bo might be getting tired of feeling isolated, alone and the whipping boy for Hope and everyone she runs to and complains about what Bo is doing. Carly is NOT the problem. Spoiled, selfish, Hope is the problem. |

So I've seen Monday and Tuesday, and I don't remember which was which. This is all I remember... Those EJ/Arianna scenes in the Brianna sex room were awful. Old shakey was back, and...he was bad. I think that kid who plays Tad is horrible, too. Am I the only one here who thinks that? His voice stayed the same through the whole scene. I could barely listen to him. I don't like Chad either, and what on earth were they thinking giving them rhyming names? Sami and Rafe had to drop the twins off at the pub. When did they pick up the twins from wherever they've been so that they could drop them off at the pub? I find the Hope/Bo/Carly stuff good, but very frustrating. I don't find it particularly believable, but PR in particular is doing a fabulous job. The Lexie/Hope scene was really good, too. The Sami/Kate throwdown was okay. Not quite was I was hoping for. Kate's reaction was good, but as is typical the expression on Sami's face was weird and kind of distracted me. Why don't these people (Sami, EJ) think before they attack? If you think Kate has your baby, attacking her may not be the thing to do...yet. |
