I gave you examples of males. I'm sorry you haven't seen it. I mean...there's not going to be a lot of it here, because this is primarily a soap board. I do know that we had some anti stuff directed at James Franco, though. When it gets down to it, though, I think AS gets so much criticism from some of us because we think she sucks at all of her jobs. I probably wouldn't care if I thought she were any good at any of it. That's why Kelly Ripa doesn't bother me. That's why Nick Cannon does. It's not her gender. |

No. The comment I made about the photo in Ej_SamiFF's banner was inappropriate so I removed it. I didn't intend it as an insult of the banner itself, but because it could be taken as such my comment was deleted and any similar comments from other members will be deleted as well. |

Brady sure seems determined to find his 'best friend' Melanie, enough to forget about his impending wedding to Madison. Kinda a weird in the big picture of things. Ironic that Brady was the one that Melanie ran into as she escapes to go find help. What are TPTB telling us? How close were Mel and Brady in the past, friends or sex buddies, please let me know. |

I think all they did was kiss. Too bad Melanie's leaving, but may be before she does there's something with her and Brady. With Brady feeling guilty of not being there for Madison? |

JMO but I think there are at least 2 other reasons for soaps dying than bad writing. 1. As shows like DAYS put old favourites on the backburner or get rid of them, they lose a chunk of their older audience. This stops the cycle of moms passing their love of the shows onto their kids. I started watching in the 1980's because my Mom loved the Marlena/Roman and Tony/Anna sories. I in turn fell in love, firstly with Bo/Hope and then Jack/Jenn. My daughter is 14 and when MA returned I started recording it again and we watched it together but I stopped watching when it was obvious JnJ wasn't going to happen. If I had kept watching then my daughter would probably have become a fan too. 2. Many primetime criminal procedure shows now incorporate the UST factor between characters in their shows which was once the property of soaps. CSI, Castle, Bones and NCIS all have rooting couples to hook the "romantic" viewer in. In fact, these shows tease viewers much longer than soaps which seem to prefer insta-hookups. |

Good post, especially regarding he prevalence of UST couples on so many prime time shows. Ever since I read my first Austen novel, I became a sucker for the UST and I get my fill of them on so many prime time shows. The romantics no longer need poorly produced, poorly written soaps to get their fill of angst. |

I didn't read all the pages on this thread so apologies if this is a repeat, but YES. I'm so glad someone posted this cuz I read the day ahead and that's the very first thing I thought when I saw that. She survived the Alamanian Earthquake (which co-incidentally also involved underground tunnels) Can you say re-run? I wonder if SSH thought to herself, "Great, I get one scene after how many months and my one line isn't even an accurate statement" ^o) |

Well, it was 20 years ago. It's not like DOOL does this type of thing all that often. Perhaps I missed it -- does anyone know if Canada is getting the Monday August 13 episode tomorrow? Or a rerun of Friday's USA episode? Or perhaps they get live Olympic coverage? |

Because he's the worst cop in the universe. He's pretty much blinded by wanting nothing more than to nail EJ. |

I agree there's no way EJ is Jack, he never has been and will never be imo. The current crop of shitty writers don't know how to write well rounded characters. EJ has so much potential but due to the lacklustre plots and bottom dwelling characterisations, pimping of some characters at the expense of others to the detriment of actual stories EJ will never mature either as a hero/villain/grey character. He is a caricature but then he is not the only one. I blame the writing and the writing is really just atrocious. If we were introduced to Jack for the first time this late in the soap (Days) game, Jack would actually fare no better but he came into being at a time when soap writing was (as best as it could) an artform when coupled with great acting. Those who are not familiar with the real jack, to them he may be a useless character, a waste of airtime, I don't blame them. His character has suffered for too long at the hands of lesser writers and this time was no different. Edited by NikiLani, Jul 27 2012, 04:50 AM.

Well I'm an older viewer as I have watched since day 1 and I do not want to see jarlana sucking face, or Bo and Hope going on a swashbuckling adventure anymore. I want to see the young and pretty having adventures and the older vets providing much needed support and family. I like Jack but he is not in the same league as Ej as a character and James Scott is the reason for that. I cannot remember one couple who had that sizzle as Sami and Ej have despite having most of the writing being totally against them. Everyone has their own opinion but since older viewers are always quoted as not watching unless the vets are featured upfront, I felt the need to say you don't speak for me at all. I don't need Bo and Hope to get married for the tenth time,,its boring. I also do not think the cliffhanger was lame just abit rushed . Can't wait for the new interview with James Scott on aug 10th, heard about it on twitter from Hey jude. He is a gold mine for this show and when written for ,Ejami are the super couple . He said it will be a slow build to get that solid foundation and work thru their past but that is what romance is all about not breaking beds. I like the kind of writing I saw this week and hope it continues. I'm really looking forward to GV's arrival but I hope they don't waste him on Nicole as she has been used up by so many different men I can't find anything to root for. Victor was being kind to Nicole when he called her out but she belongs with Dr Perv as they are both sleezy. Anyway can't wait till the olympics are over . |

OT, Just wanted to wish Lysie a Happy Birthday from one birthday girl to another. :wave: Back on topic, I'm actually looking forward to today's epi, especially to see who survives; the plate or Marlena? :P Or are they going to make me wait to find out until the Olympics are over? |

The cliffhanger is intense. I think it would have been better if they had taken a little more time and built up to it over a few more days. I do believe that it did its job though, as I am waiting to see what actually happened to all the people in the various locations and the stories that may come out of it. |
