I feel like we have this discussion every few weeks and no one ever pays attention to any (on both sides) of the responses. For me, it's not about seeing the kids. It's about what they actually do with the kids when we do see them. I think they could conceivably never ever show a kid, and the parent still not come across as a bad parent. They seem to do a pretty decent job of this with everyone but Sami. They show her being a crappy parent, have other characters comment on it, and then they turn around a few weeks later and tell us she's amazing. |

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

For starters-- they have to stop with the Bradison sex stuff. I am all for soap romance, but this is crazy, if I wanted to watch soft porn each week, I'd rent DVD or watch Red Shoe Dairies or Sin Cities Carrie and Jennifer must be written by the same writer. Carrie is such a bitch these days. Her reaction when she see's Austin and Abby at HTS, having coffee-- she jumps to the conculsion that they were 'together'. She was there all of 2 secs, and there was nothing going on between them. She is buliding her own lame case, to accuse Austin of being unfaithful, all while she's the one with the roving eye. Rafe, is such a shmuck, honestly I don't think the dumb fool sees what trouble he is getting into. When John was talking with Sami and asking about work/ giving her advice, I thought it was really a nice touch by TPTB. When John mentions work, at one point, I even thought he was going to offer a job, work and home life were too stressful. I was shocked at the end, where whe admited to John that he may be right. TPTB can't let Sami have a hard week, without a bit of sympathy. WTF is that all about, she's gonna fall... but be cushioned along the way. AS must kiss serious butt, to get this type of treatment. Abby & Austin was okay. Abby SL is written very carefully, she is not appearing as crazed maniac. She didn't over do it with Austin today, I was glad to see. All in all .... kinda of a filler day for these SL.... getting ready to explode. |

I get where people are coming from with the fact that we don't know what happened off screen. But are we really supposed to? I mean when I am watching a show I don't wonder about the stuff I don't see. I can only comment and relate to what I have seen. ~ I have seen Sami pawn her kids off on their great grandmother... ~ I have seen Brady not get along with Marlena for like a year when he was a teenager, which in turn caused tension between Brady and John. ~ I have seen Marlena being kidnapped and presumed dead (several times)... not out and out abandon her children. I don't understand how tptb can expect long time viewers to accept re-written history... I and I certainly don't understand how we are to accept re-written history that we have never seen! I hope that made sense lol. |

I would like to think I am completely opposed to the Abby/Austin storyline but they do seem to be taking it slow and are treading the line. I do not want Abby's character being destroyed but I have to admit the repercussions are good soapy drama for all those involved. KM is playing this really well so I will take it one scene at a time. It does seem like it is going to be a big deal with all the recent Mansi interviews and the new publicity shots. I can handle Abby doing something very stupid and crazy and as long as all the other charcters in her life have the proper reactions to her behavior I will go with it. Like most things Days you hope you are giving them enough rope to climb the mountain but in most cases they only end up hanging themselves. |

Bradison sex has become too much....its 24/7 sex....ALL the freaking time with them...enough is enough...OVERKILL! Carrie is really running on my last nerve...all she does is blame Austin for everything, then she turns around lusting after Rafe...its disgusting. Austin is YOUR HUSBAND Carrie...tell him the truth...he deserves that from you. Sami is such a cunt...i am so tired of Marlena and John pussy footing around her...its time one of them tells her to shove her bitchy attitude up her ass and either be in their family or not! And Sami you ARE a horrible mother and even though John never said that, I am glad that is what she took away from their conversation, because it is the fucking truth! |

Oh and MASSIVE thumbs down to John saying he was not there for Brady and Belle growing up...i mean WHAT? WHAT IN THE WORLD are the writers smoking, thinking that it is OK to be writing pure utter crap like that. John was an amazing father to Belle and Brady when they were growing up as was witnessed by millions of fans for the entire 90s and 2000's...how can they keep rewriting history like this. Its like all the returnees (Jack, John, Marlena) were horrible and absent in their children's life before coming back, when we all know that is not true.

Did Sarah Brown played with Eric Martsolf's nipple? The bed is the foundation of their relationship. |

Hmm I think the writers really have it in for any of the young blond women who actually grew up on screen. Jennifer and Carrie are acting the exact same way towards their "husbands" making everything their fault while themselves lusting after another man and Miss Deveraux seems to be following right in their foot steps. The odd thing is that the harpie attitude is actually pretty OCC for these characters and obviously isn't going over well with the audience with the exception of those people who thinks its prefectly OK to throw your marriage vows away because you significant other isn't hot or romantic anymore (and people wonder why I am so happy single with crazy out there like that) |

I really dislike Brady and Madison as they have invested nothing of substance in them. It's the same way they wrote Brady/Nicole, all sex. I wouldn't mind that if the show wasn't trying to tell me they were more. Same issue with EJ/Taylor. And while I still find Austin a snooze, I don't mind this arc and I don't mind seeing Abby go off the deepend a bit either. |

If I never see active evidence of a character being a bad parent, then I can assume that when they're in between kidnappings and brainwashings, that they're taking care of their children in a loving fashion. When I see a character who's spent years of story showcasing just exactly how bad a parent she is, then I tend to disbelieve that when I'm not seeing her use her children as pawns and foisting them off on Great-Granny that she's baking low-fat sugar-free tofu cookies and going to their bullshit soccer games and having family game nights. When I've seen a character's entire reason for being revolve around who gets into her precious, precious vagina, I tend to disbelieve that she has as much interest as those who came out of it. And, when I've seen that character live in town and NOT be kidnapped or brainwashed or have a job of sort and she still comes off as a terrible mother, then I'm not going to assume she's any better of a mother off camera than she is on. |

Knowing there is actual movement coming up in Brady and Madison's story, I don't mind all of the sex time they get. It's a soap opera. Romance in the afternoon, anyone? As long as having sex isn't the only thing they're doing, which it really has been for the last three months, then I'm fine with seeing them get it on everyday if they want to. |

I don't pay that much attention to Brady and Madison, but is it even fair to say that they have sex all the time? How many times have we actually seen them have sex? Once for their first time, once at/after the spa the other day (right?), and now I guess tomorrow. Even if I'm missing a couple of times, I still wouldn't consider that all that big a deal for a new couple. They're not virginal 19 year olds, they're grownups who like sex. B |

Agreed. I also don't mind the John/Brady stuff at all aside from the fact that it should've been played SOONER. Hell, all of these supercouples' children should be written as taking some issue with their parents How many times were they left as children while their parents went on one dangerous adventure after another? I can see them having an issue with their parents doing that regardless of how justified they felt in doing so. Any one would given how reckless it is to just up and leave your kid to go on some dangerous mission or something. Talking about John and Brady and also Belle...how many times did John take off and leave him as a child for some silly dangerous adventure to look into his past or something? There was Maison Blanche, Paris, the jungle, and Switzerland (when he went with Hope, Roman, and Billie to Lugano). I won't count Aremid because, if I remember correctly, weren't the kids with John and Marlena in Aremid? I may be wrong but I believe they were. The show should've played this sooner. That is my issue. It rings a little false to me when Brady never mentioned it as an issue before now but that is my only problem with it, personally. |

Enjoyed reading about the John/Sami scenes and liked them interacting one-on-one for a change. And while I totally don't think Sami deserves any kindness after the way she has treated John since he and Marlena came back, it's who John is. Always forgiving and always wanting the best for his kids no matter what. Looking forward to seeing the scenes for myself tomorrow. And other than the Brady/Madison stuff, the whole episode sounds pretty good. :) |

They've yet to say or even imply that that's what John and Brady are talking about. They've also made a big deal about the Victor/Brady relationship which was nonexistent until Brady was an adult. If they want to focus on that aspect of Brady's childhood , fine. But then they need to stop being so vague because everything we've seen since Brady was SORASed 12 years ago, says that they're completely rewriting his history. |

Exactly, which is why it is becoming annoying...there is no substance there for this couple, its just sex..ALL the time. I am not against sex scenes in the least or whatever, but when a couple only has sex, they are often paper thin and that is exactly what Bradison is at the moment as a result. |

Bingo! In the first 5 min of the show today it already felt like soft porn especially because of the background music. I also so did not need that closeup of EM's nipple which I almost thought was a female one until I remembered I was watching Days. |

I've never seen a soap where someone has a bad week, and there's NO ONE on their side. Sami has been having some HUGE marital problems, huge parenting problems, huge ex problems, huge time management problems, and her stepdad steps up to try and help her out. That's the writers trying to make it more real. There's just never going to be some huge Sami freefall, no matter how bad some people may want it, because she has people who care about her, and not stepping in would be out of character for them. John and Marlena won't just hatch Sami struggle without stepping in, neither would Brady, or Roman, or Caroline... They wrote a family years ago, and they're continuing that. You don't stop caring about family just because they piss you off. I'm not sure if Sami is a good mom or not... Who knows? DOOL is a window of an hour a day into these character's lives, and usually when there's some crisis going on. I mean... I've never seen a character use the bathroom, but if they talk about it, I wouldn't doubt that they do. Of course, people who hate Sami have no intention of seeing her as anything but some sort of animal/ human hybrid incapable of doing anything right, but I've had my share of frenzied days where I second guessed my own parenting, and it would suck to be judged by those. Soap operas just don't show the minutiae... daily life is monotonous and boring. (And no, not a Sami fan... I don't believe her character is written to be liked, just pitied) Edited by Lady Evol, Jan 31 2012, 01:14 PM.

So I understand that Brady and Madison are adults and enjoy sex...what I don't care for is the understanding that this couple was supposed to be a couple we would want to root for. It would have been great if they didn't jump into bed and got to really know each other. Ever since Eric Martsolf took over the role of Brady, I felt that they took away the whole essence of who Brady was. He wasn't someone who jumped in and out of bed with women, but truly respected them. |
