Ah. Victor Gialanella was Higley's co-HW from April 23, 2008 - October 10, 2008. Wasn't that the strike?
No. The strike was from mid October of 2007 through March of 2008 (roughly). I think the dates listed above start with the first show aired with scripts written after the strike.
The times above are, IMO, when the show really started sucky. I liked the show during the strike until about April.
I can't disagree with you there. April 23, 2008 was definitely the date that the show sucked monkeyballs, IMO. It didn't get better afterwards either.

EJOLE en fuego today!!! I wish they had long graphic love scenes--those would be WAAAAY better than the crap with Bradison. And lol at EJ's line about needing a few more minutes! ;) Naughty boy!

Glad to see that neither one seemed jealous today, even when they ran into Brady.

Oh, and STATE were kick ass. I love how STATE were a united front against those hypocritical Bradys. I don't mind the Blacks so much, but Bope are grating on my last nerve.

Madison and Brady-ugh. And that fake smile where she seems to have been coached to stretch her lower lip to expose the bottom teeth looks so fake and more like a grimace. Between Brady and EJ, who's proposed marriage the most times? Fools.

All I could concentrate on during the HoBoMarJoState talking was DHer and LK as they laughed and tried to keep it from showing on camera. DH started it, and it went on for several minutes.

They really should not dress Hope in low-cut tops. I can't stand watching every ridge on her larynx bob when she speaks or her ribs poking out of her chest.

Can't wait to see some extravagant romantic gesture from EJ for Nic. That smile of his ensures we'll get something promising. Her bangs were well-cut imo, much better than straight, blunt, and in her eyes. She looks better with shorter, wavy hair to me, but I am hoping it is the sign of tptb's interest in expanding her place on the show. Look at how they changed AS to fit the dool lead character status. Of course, I'd love nothing more here than for Sami to be backburned and Nicole to be the STAR. If they went on acting ability, she'd have replaced the insufferable Sami long ago. Alas...

Kate made a good recovery, but from the look on her face. she didn't like the comment about how Stefano could never have loving relationship with a wife as Jarlena and Bope. I don't remember who made the comment, maybe Marlena. Kate definitely wasn't liking the implication.

Also, the way she kind of talks to Stefano like she's talking to a baby annoys me. She can be loving without the baby talk, although I don't believe she actually loves her blackmailing ex pimp.

The DiMera mansion scenes were the best part of today's episode. Great performances from all of the actors and great writing from the writers. I loved Kate standing on the sidelines and adding her two cents in every now and then. Her line about pitying John because he's married to Hope was great. Glad to see Kate still hates Hope, dating all the way back to when Hope "stole" Bo back from Billie.

Nicole looked terrible today. Who would go out in public with that hair? Yikes!

The proposal is rushed. No question there. I will give MarDar credit in giving Brady and Madison bonding scenes over the last four months, but those scenes would warrant moving to the next level to date, not propose. I just feel like more should've happened between the two before any thoughts on marriage. It makes Brady look like a sap, especially once we find out Madison is engaged.

Already mentioned how creepy I found Buchanan's entrance as Ian. Looking forward to seeing more tomorrow.

Yeah Fairygodmother I agree she did not look like she liked that at all maybe she thinks that she does love Stefano that much and they can have that sort of marriage if they stay married as long as the couples have.. John started the statement and Hope finished it.

Aw! I did not catch that. I bet it was funny to see if anyone catched it like you did wish I would have noticed it. Good eye.

I love it when stuff like that happens. Bo always wiping off Hope's lipstick as immediately as possible is an ongoing one. Back when CC and AP were for real true-loving, the Carrie Austin scenes were HOT! He would lick his lips after they kissed. And this one scene he's in some pool and she comes up in a bikini and his lustful smile was so spontaneous.

Loved it in the scene when Nic and EJ went to see the newly not-dead Johnny and the little twin is being hugged by EJ but reaches out for Nicole's hand to hold.

I LOVE that Marlena is showing Steffie NO FEAR! She respects his potential for evil and doing damage, but she's giving him NO SATISFACTION! Love it! And Marlena is the one person in the room that has done serious damage to Steffie in the past, and he knows it.

I liked the Dimera mansion scenes but that was only because I loved the dialogue, the fact that the story moved and the scenes confirmed there is more to this than just the marriage, and because I love how Stefano and Kate toyed with Bo, Hope, John, and Marlena. It's been a long time since we've seen that, especially in regards to Kate toying with characters like Hope and Marlena, and I hope we see more of it. I'm glad Kate's apparent hatred for Hope is still there and also liked how it seemed to bother her when Stefano referenced Marlena before she showed up. On the other hand, I felt the acting was a bit uneven by everyone aside from Lauren Koslow, who played her role in the scenes to perfection. I thought Joe Mascolo was fine when just alone with Koslow but, aside from that, he flubbed a line and I just didn't care for his performance. I get he was toying with them and all but it felt like a lazy performance. Drake, Deidre, Peter, and Kristian all seemed off. Deidre had some great lines again but I didn't like some of her delivery, particularly her "katie, katie" line to Kate. I felt it needed to be enunciated more and needed a bit more "oomph" to it. I think the big four aren't quite sure how to play these scenes for some reason. I felt that yesterday too at times even though they were better today than yesterday. I don't know. Everyone except Koslow just seemed off to be but I did like the scenes overall. I also liked the chess scenes with Stefano and Kate and the final Stefano scene. It had a good eerie feel to it.

I liked the lighting in the Dimera mansion today too. I usually don't care about that stuff but it was noticeably darker to me and I liked it, especially early on with Stefano playing chess in the dark.

I agree about this Brady and Madison stuff being rushed but was happy they at least mentioned how they haven't known each other for awhile. We don't usually get a mention of that stuff in situations like this. I get it happens in real life and soaps are worried about progressing too slow nowadays but they can stand to slow down a bit more. Having said that, at least we know that complications are on the way and they likely rushed through this to set up the Ian stuff. Plus, we at least got much more bonding, dating, etc between them than we usually get for a new couple nowadays so it's easier to buy into them getting to this point. I thought the scenes were ok though. I'm just glad Brady and Madison are finally getting some complications and drama because all the other potential angst for them got rushed through over the last few months. Really liked the ending with Ian.

EJ and Nicole had some good scenes and I REALLY liked the way they handled Nicole seeing the proposal. Sure, there was a sadness over what could've been with Brady but she was more upset that she's never had that fairy tale filled with romance and happiness come true for herself like what she was seeing Madison experience. One of my favorite scenes of Nicole's ever is that 2008 scene with EJ where she basically expresses her dream of being swept off her feet like in a fairy tale so this was a nice tieback to that.

All in all, another strong episode. Hopefully, tomorrow can cap off the week nicely.

Brady and Madison are unwatchable-everytime I stop the ff on one of their scenes, I immediately wish I hadn't.

I loved Stefano and Kate taunting Bo, Hope, John and Marlena. Nostalgic. By the look on Hope's face, it looks like Stefano may be right?

I'm looking forward to Stefano opening the envelope and finding what's in there, yet I'm a little apprehensive about it too. Then again, it will probably be as lame as "John and Hope" are married.

EJole :wub: James and Ari are pure magic-they have made me fall in love with this couple. EJole have been the best part of DOOL for me since the reset and I am 100% rooting for EJole to weather the coming storm. I love the flirty, sexy, naughty banter and the sweet, tender moments with EJole-I have no doubt that EJ is IN LOVE with Nicole. When I read that Nicole was going to be wistful upon witnessing the Bradison proposal, I was a little concerned, but it played out that she didn't want Brady for herself. Nicole wants the fairytale moments, reiterating what she told EJ at the HTS opening-very Vivian (Julia Roberts) in Pretty Woman. Based on EJ's smile at the end, I will be very surprised if he doesn't plan a very grand, romantic gesture for Nicole.

Things have definitely turned around for Days the past couple weeks. It feels like big things are happening in all of the stories and there is a can't miss moment every day. I'm starting to get more confident in MarDar. February Sweeps is shaping up to be great. Now lets just get a little more of Jack.

I'm watching the Bradison proposal and can't stand watching it. I don't believe Brady and Madison feel like they've known each other "forever." Where was the proof of that? The only way I can believe it is if you think of "known" in the Biblical sense, because he sure has known her many, many times. We've seen sexual Olympics with these two, but rarely a romantic scenes. And the Segways sure as heck don't count!
