+ 1. Not to mention I was annoyed with her statement that she didn't like Bo and Hope after, as she put it, "that whole trying to kill my father thing." Sounds a little flippant considering how much alleged trauma he put her through, depending on which version of her backstory the monkeys are pushing on this. I seem to remember her having a tearful plea for mercy on Nick's behalf which carried oh so much weight because she was able to find it in her heart to do so even though he had killed her own father. So. much. hate. As for the rest of the show, wow--are they trying to see if they can actually measure my boredom? Go away Sami, go away Mia. Also, Hope busting out the "our whole marriage has been a lie" judgment really ticked me off. Just a terrible show all around, and I didn't even mention Philip's shitty fugatronic hair. |

I think the hair department has been off lately. Some of the hairstyles are just plain bad! I've notice makeup issues too. But it's more the hair. There is not much style to the women's hair. Is it me or is there a trend of messy hair going on? |

Glad somone else noticed Phillip's hair. Damn,could it have been sticking out anymore?? Mel's cutesy 13-year old mannerisms are so out of place. I think she could be good if she would knock it off with that and the babytalk. The teens: It seems that when they are all in a scene together the timing is just terribly off! I'm sure it is like trying to herd cats when dealing with all of them at one time. I did think the graveside scene with Mia was well done. She does do sad good. I like Hope but have to laugh sometimes at the obvious way the actress is making sure her jewelry shows! |

Today's show did kind of suck. The Sydnapping is so damn stupid! It is pretty sad that I am rooting so hard for the villians (Stefano and Nicole in this case) over the actual parents to keep the baby. How does that happen? And Sami is so damn obnoxious that I find myself gritting my teeth when she comes on. I just don't have the words for how much I loathe Melanie right now. Never thought it would get this bad. The problem I find with this show is that nobody is sympathetic. Not one character! And you could give me the most screwed up obnoxious character, but make them sypathetic somehow, and I'll love them and care about them. (Nicole is a good example). Carly almost touches it, but the quick sex kind of ruined it. Bo, Hope, Vivian, Mia, any teen, Melanie (gag), etc. are all just really stupid! |

Must be. Is the budget that small or have they hired 5 year olds to do hair now? My god, my hair better with just a hair brush and letting my hair dry without a blow drier (which I do normally). |

Just a note. What Mel said is she is not big Bope fan after they tried to blame her for Trentīs murder, she was not speaking about the murder itself. Itīs true and always visible whenever Mel has scene with either of them (like today with Bo). As for Mel, I disagree. Yes, she is cheaky, flippant and likes to make weird faces and voices but I love her and enjoy every minute she is on screen. She has such a strong screen presence and chemistry with everyone and itīs never fake. Iīm very happy she is on frontburner again and look forward to the wedding. Oh, I like the teens too, I just wish they invested into them more and give them something more substantial than just hanging around the Java. Hopefully with the arrival of new Will their story starts to heating up. They are certainly using Dylan as little as possible now. I think he had only two lines today. |

I think we've already established ad nauseum that you and I have 180 degree different opinions on Melanie and Molly. |

God, what is with Justin! He's such a douche - he obviously just wants to fuck Hope. Memo to Justin: if you're looking for easy sex, Hope probably shouldn't be your first stop. No chemistry whatsoever. I'm all for Hope with someone else, as I've said 100 times, but I think she's getting the short end of the stick here. So many other great pairings - even boring Daniel would be dramatic, if he turns out to be Melanie's father. There's the hot, younger brother angle with Philip, once he and Melanie self destruct (I like Phelanie, but come on now...with this rushed marriage, they don't have a chance). Even a potentially alive Lawrence would be an awesome story. The Jope kiss was awful, and Justin is like some desperate, needy chick - it's even worse that he's hanging around and "pretending" to be her friend when he so obviously has an agenda. Hope looks like a bitch for stringing him along, too. The kiss looked like it was going to be sexy for a second, but lameeeee. It wasn't funny, and I did feel bad for Hope, but I randomly burst out laughing when she was hugging Justin and crying. She actually believes that bullshit story? Wow. Vivian and Hope were fun, though. Love how Hope doesn't give her the time of day, but kind of sucks up to her at the same time. Hope/Vivian scenes are more of a highlight for me than Carly/Vivian, actually. Carly and Philip have a nice chemistry. I really noticed it in their first scenes, too. On the other hand, Carly and Justin also appear to have chemistry - eons more than Justin and Hope. I still really like Melanie. I can see how some find her annoying, but I've always liked her character - a rarity for a "newbie" (when she first came on). I like the "Carly's daughter" story, too but it is a bit contrived with Carly trying to get to know her and Melanie hating her... lol, typical soap opera. Sydnapping is annoying, and I can't stand watching AS anymore. My tolerance level for her is dwindling. The heavy breathing and crying takes away from my enjoyment. ETA: It was also really contrived when Hope shows up to her house and, of course, Barly are talking. What did she break?! LOL that was funny and random, too.

I just about died when she broke that thing! LoL. It was like five year old throwing a temper tantrum and tossing their toys across the room in a childish rage. HOPE: "You don't love me anymore? Oh yeah?! Well I don't love you either! Neener neener!" *throws vase* |

I thought the same thing. I was like, "what? did she really just do that?" Either way, it was further evidence to my theory/belief that Hope is emotionally immature. I've been saying it all along, and there she goes - throwing and breaking shit! |

DAYS writers are truly making it laughable to ever believe Hope was or could be a good cop with good instinct. She has zero instincts. She could not even, knowing Bo all these years, be suspicious of Bo confiding in Phillip or anyone about his feelings. WOW she does not KNOW BO. And she's not even a little suspicious that Viv overheard? If Hope had even a clue about who Bo has been forever, if she was even slightly a capable cop, she would know, that Bo, being in the same house as Viv, would be in constant alert mode....it's who Bo is and who most detectives are. And the temper tantrum throwing of stuff....what a hoot. Please DAYS make this be the end of Bo and Hope...please, please. Allow Hope to become a woman. Allow Bo to have someone who actually likes and respects him as a man, as well as loves him and his body. |

Days has a long history of dumbing down characters to suit the plot. |

I respect you opinion, but as usual I disagree with you about Justin. I just do not see any kind of agenda coming from him at all. So what if he has feelings for Hope. At least he's been up front about how he feels. Let's sue the man for caring. *RME*. I don't see how Hope is getting the short end of the stick with getting paired with Justin. I think she would be lucky to be with him. And I see a lot of potential there. I rather she be with him, than some sleazebag like Daniel, EJ, Lawerance, etc... And I'm sorry Hope/Philip would just be nasty. But like I said, I'm the minority on this one here about Justin and Justin/Hope. We will just have to agree to disagree. :) As for everything else, I agree especially about Justin/Carly- but then I find them more appealing than Bo/Carly. ITA about the Sydnapping- I'm so over this story. It needs to end now!!! I wish we agreed more, but that's okay. :) |

Oh Bo.....this man can't resist a woman in need of saving. At this point, I am all for pairing Hope with someone else....but KA has zero chemistry with the guy playing Justin. |
