Aw I liked Kaman, I wouldn't mind that being rekindled :wub2: I wish they were having a secret affair right now, that would explain why Kate is always gone at random times, and why Roman always pops in every few weeks. He and Kate are shackin' it up on the side ;P. Josh Taylor\Roman needs a story! |

Passions was all about purple. Probably Tomlin's idea to inject more Passions stuff into Days. Wasn't there an Otalia fanbase from GL that called themselves Purple something. I can't remember the name. Maybe Tomlin's trying to still get that Otalia fanbase to days by showing purple. I still think it's to do with Tomlin's Passions fixation. The fashion department needs to do a course on fashion though. Seriously. The clothes have not been that great at all. Some have been awful in the past few months. I still can't get over Hope's christmas outfit and that awful hat. She looked like the pied piper with that hat on! Cheap sets, Cheap or unnatractive clothes whats next? |

Lately, I think the actors and actresses would look better if they dressed themselves. It would be another way for the show to save money. It's not as if the wardrobe department is adding any value right now. |

The only think Melanie is missing is a Hello Kitty backpack and a hair ribbon. |

The hair ribbon would go with most of her outfits anyway. Why do they dress her like a 16 year old? Edited by DrewHamilton, Jan 19 2010, 12:23 AM.

Samantha Gene has four children via two men, one of which is moderately wealthy (Lucas), the other being extremely wealthy (EJ). Her mother and stepfather are ridiculously wealthy, apparently giving her a townhouse and casually providing her with 50K to toss around to fellow Salemites. Samantha herself even alluded to "John's extreme generosity" despite all the terrible things Samantha had done. There is no financial need for her to work outside the home. Nor apparently any desire. Yes, it's hardly the role model existence (since she farms out the kids to Grandma Caroline and DiMera Servants), but it's hardly shocking that she doesn't have a paycheck from JavaCafe/ChezRouge/Titan/BasicBlack. Would it make the character better if she thrived in a workplace? Perhaps. But the woman doesn't NEED to earn an income. |

I know at least half of you are sleeping through the Sydnap s/l at the moment, but can someone please explain to me how Rafe actually found EJ & Sami at the pier? Rafe told Sami it was because he was having her followed. But Ej specifically said they're were going to use the tunnels under the DiMera mansion to get to the pier. So shouldn't the FBI watchman still have been sitting at the gates of the DiMera mansion? :shrug: Edited by UKDaysFan, Jan 19 2010, 05:04 AM.

Um, she is a teen. Nine-teen. As someone posted about 1000 posts ago, this is how teenagers in LA behave. Heck, dare I say I have a couple nieces who are 13-17 and when you put them together with their friends, it's like a dozen Melanies in the room. I think they are purposely playing her this way. Only the diehard Phelanie-ites see this marriage as Twu Luv. Most of us viewers -- and most of Salem -- see it for what it is. A mistake that will lead to all sorts of fun drama, angst, irritation, irrationality, immaturity, and heartbreak. "Seriously marrying Philip"..... Seriously? |

Maybe not, but it would sure make the character seem less vapid, shrieky, and needy. As long as she doesn't hold two jobs, with a guest spot on a third. :lol: |

Just read prevuze. More pointless and contrived Justin scenes. Spoiler: click to toggle The writers have gone too far. They have disrespected Bo and Hope's marriage and their history. Bo and Hope are now unrecognizable. They have changed their characters too much. All for the sake of bringing Carly back. |

I have no problem with Sami staying home to take care of her children, they just don't show it because she's in the middle of all this drama. She was trying to find a job before Witness Protection. There's nothing wrong with a mom having their kids babysat. It's not like she's going for spa treaments and moms are allowed to do that too. It'd actually be nice if they had Sami verbalize (to Ej and/or Lucas) wanting to stay home. It seems like all the moms on a soap have to have these high powered careers which is great but change it up with one character every now and again. I think the last one was Alice. MON I didn't notice Carly being dressed badly, i guess because she's been at the hospital. I do believe the wardrobe people don't know what they are doing when it comes to dressing anyone be it size 0 or 25. The Bo/Carly/Melanie scene was good minus MB. Looked like I was watching a teenager mouth off to her mom and stepdad. Melanie definitly looked and acting like a high schooler. When Anna left Syd with the Dimera Goon OUTSIDE with the baby monitor I was thinking the poor baby was gonna choke on those Cheerios with no one in the room. At first I was thinking it was Rafe's own fault that Sami was being sneaky because I thought the authorities always look at the parents as suspects in kidnapping cases, so score .25 points to Rafe for having Sami followed. Didn't catch that line about Ej saying to take the Dimera tunnels. Troy skulking about was a treat but they are getting dangerously close to over exposing this character. He looked better with longer hair, darn them for waisting their haircut allottment on him. The Brady and Melanie scene was nice albeit it hokey on both parts. I thought it was sweet for her to ask him to give her away, even if she had to drone on about how he wasn't her first choice. I wished Brady could talk to her more about the marriage and her hatred for Carly. Vivian pining away for Phillip makes me feel bad for her. I would imagine carrying and birthing a child and having said baby taken away must feel terrible even if she did it immorally. Edited by Halloween Family, Jan 19 2010, 09:53 AM.

count me in as another viewer that is plain sick of melanie. her hatred of carly is unexplained and overblown, and i'm quite tired of hearing her call carly a murderer, as this is coming from the girl who tried to frame someone else for her father's murder--stephanie--just because she didn't like stephanie dating max. then of course you have the fact that all melanie did before her stint in salem was use rich guys, and steal from them. talk about your proverbial pot and kettle. my main question is, is everyone in this town apart from brady a raging hypocrite? is it too much to ask that some character--i don't care which one--remind melanie that since she doesn't want to be judged solely on her past behavior, then perhaps she shouldn't judge others based on theirs? i liked the suggestion up-thread that stated that the show should have played melanie being creeped out by carly's over-attentiveness. this bullshit rage over the spilled coffee and melanie's new bff hope being cuckolded by carly is not working for me.

**I know "da plot" insists Melanie must hate Carly. But sheesh, at least give the girl some conflicted feelings. **Have Brady tell Melanie that Carly is his godmother, and according to his father, was one of Izzy's closest friends, was there for her when she was dying of cancer. Let us see Melanie's reaction before she says, "Yea but...." **Have Melanie talk to Phillip about the kind of man his brother Bo is, and how Hope left him months ago. She still does not have to like that Bo and Carly are getting it on, but still her blatant, "they're bad, Hope is their" victim is pathetic, especially considering Melanie's own conflict between Phillip and Nathan. **Have Stephanie go all "holier-than-thou" over Carly and Bo and let Melanie hear it/see it. That would give Melanie pause and the desire to at least look at the others side. |

I don't understand why Brady and Carly have no scenes.I mean if I have to hear about how Daniel is Victors godson.I mean they could at least have Brady and Carly talk about Isabella and how they was good friends. |
