I wish TomSell would realize that there are more than 6 actors in the cast. Someone wake me when something new starts happening. Zzzzzzzzzz
That might mean you'll be sleeping as long as Rip Van Winkle.
So true and when I finally wake up, it will be the same 6 actors doing the same exact thing. Days really is the epitomy of Einstein's definition of insanity.
Not only that, it will probably still be the same day in Salem.

CORDAY .......GET RID OF THE NEW WRITERS THEY ARE DESTROYING YOUR SHOW ! KICK THEM TO THE CURB !!! I DON;T WATCH MUCH ANYMORE . THERES NOTHING THAT APPEALS TO ME . YOU EVEN RUINED WILLS STOREYLINE. HE WON AN EMMY FOR THE GREAT WORK HES DONE TO BUILD THIS STORY LINE. THE SCENES WITH IS GRANDMOTHER WAS SO TOUCHING. THE TWO IDIOTS EVEN SCREWED THAT GREAT STORY UP . GET RID THE THESE WRITER BEFORE THEY DO TO MUCH DAMAGE. DON'T TAPE SO FAR AHEAD CAUSE ITS TAKES TO LONG TO SEE NEW WRITERS STORY. GET RID OF THESE TWO IDIOTS THEY ARE KILLING YOUR SHOW . LOOK AT THE RATINGS. BOTTOMS OF THE PILE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE DEAR KEN TO OPEN YOUE EYES AND MIND AND DO SOMETHING. GET SOME GOOD WRITER NOT RECYCLED LOOSERS LIKE THGESE TO LOOSERS .
Corday he shouldn't even have to fire them. These writers should be smart enough to know if a certain pairings are pissing so many viewers off and some characters just aren't well liked by the audience, then it's time to change things for the sake of keeping your own job. Dannifer is hated, most people are sick to death of the triangle from hell, EJ/Sami/Rafe and nobody's particularly is interested in seeing Maggie so for the sake of keeping your job end all of this crap. Listen to the message boards and you'll pretty much learn what you're doing wrong as far as the veiwers are concerned. It's utterly amazzing to me that Tomlin is writting this show just for himself and not the viewers and arrogant enough to think that it won't get him fired......again. :shrug:

The s/l with Nicole's baby was started by MarDar, thus TomSell ended it summarily -- as they did with most of MarDar's creations. TomSell either killed characters outright (with no muss, no fuss) or used them to further their own plots and preferences.

Since TomSell are putting in place the stories they wanted to tell last year, it's likely that the Will/Gabi s/l was exactly where they were heading then. In general, they've just resumed telling the stories they had always wanted to tell, clearing out anything in their path the interim writers might have put in their way. The exception seems to be John/Marlena and now Kristen. And that seems to be a decision imposed by Sony and possibly the network.

Im ok with baby storylines and the wabi baby i think could provide lots of good drama if done right. But the problem is that last part. Its hard to watch any baby storyline when these writters only use babys and children in morbid stories like death cancer and kidnappings.

Why not have a campaign to fire these writers? Even if they won't they'll get the message loud and clear that the viewers hate their writing.
I'm in if somebody organizes this. I want TomSell GONE.

Bad writing is only a symptom of the real problem. corday, meng, sony, anyone that I suspect fuels the politics that happen behind the scenes where decisions to fire great actors and coddling of sucky ones so we are saddled with stories and characters most reviled by fans. Even if tomsell were to be fired tomorrow, we would still be neck deep in the same mess long after their stuff has finished airing.

At this rate I just want my favorite actors to move onto better shows where I can truly enjoy them. It's obvious this show is never going to get any better. :shame:

Please write 4 Bryan Dattilo, Give him a love interest.

No amount of hiring and firing are gonna fix everything. The writing is crappy no matter whom is writing. I do not want to see MarDar come back bc that is very likely to happen imho if we lose TomSell. The writers think everything is about instant gratification these days and there fore no matter who takes over, they think its what we want. Couples imho like Lumi Ejole, Bope, Jarlena, these are the type of couples that build an audience, that build love in the afternoon.
None of whats going on now, except for Jarelena imho are working. Dancole, no, Ej and Sami, no, Safe a total no. I miss couples like State and Bope and Lumi. Ejole was about acceptance and love inmho, none of this I can stand right now. Days needs to bring back love in the afternoon if its is to survive. These spoilers, snoozefest. I hope we get better soon, but I sure as heck doubt it.

TPTB don't care what the fans want. That's why ratings are dropping.

Most fans wanted Jack to stay and see Jennifer & Daniel gone. Instead they kill Jack and create fake Dannifer angst that nobody wants to see. Most fans wanted Nicole to keep her baby (and some wanted to see a Jacole friendship in all it's snarkiness.) Instead we get Nicole pining for Daniel and Rafe, and her baby killed off - and all to create angst for Dannifer and Safe. WTF? And instead of concentrating the story on the tragedy for Nicole - they kill off the baby in such a disgusting way as to make Nicole the villain and Bitchifer the pure innocent victim. WTF?!

These stories are disgusting. I can hardly stand to read them when I check in on Daytime Royalty. There is no way in hell I would actually watch this show. T/W suck as badly as I knew they would. I didn't see one fan asking for their return.

TPTB continually say "Fuck You" to the fans. So here is our response "Sayonara, baby!". :moon: You think pissing us off is a good idea, you dumb fucks? No, piss us off enough times and we simply give up and walk away. Why bother to tune in when there is NO HOPE that this current writing regime or current production model of shooting months in advance could POSSIBLY create something worth watching?

The only way I am tuning back in:
1) T/W are fired
2) They burn the months of shit already in the can
3) They fire MR and get rid of Dannifer
4) They hire a decent headwriter who knows how to write for the entire canvas, integrate the vets, know how to pace stories and keep characters coherent.

Keep Greg Meng and hire Racine as head writer!

Meh to all of this. I can't even summon enough passion to do a proper rant. They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. And that's what I have toward this show nowadays - utter apathy.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask - but did Bo Brady have his last day already?

I try to stay somewhat current on this website, but I honestly can't stomach reading all the spoilers. I just scroll through so much BS and repeated "spoilers" about Sami and her men. :eye roll:

I saw that Bo quit because he didn't want to take a payout, his Mom has Alzheimer's, and Kayla found a possible cure? Again, completely insulting for fans who have to deal with loved ones actually suffering from this disease.

So then what happened? How did TIIC actually write off one of their most iconic heroes of all time? Did he step out to get the mail? Did they even have a promo for PR's exit? Melanie's exit got tons of spoiler talk and promos. :shame: prime example of why this show is going down the toilet!!!

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I'm at a point that I just don't give a crap anymore. If they aren't showcasing my favorites fine but at least give me something worth watching and keep my faves in character....they are doing neither so I really don't give a shit.

Wow, I must be reading different spoilers because these are awesome.

Maggie being supportive of Jen is the kind of unexpected twist I expect from a soap but rarely get to see. And Victor trying to persuade Dan to give up Nicole? Totally would not have expected that, either. They are so bringing it for sweeps this year!

I know some here have problems with Gabi being pregnant, but I applaud the writers for being courageous enough to stay away from the annoying modern trope of the independent young woman focused on education and/or a career. Women should be focused on babies and family. It's good to see a show celebrate those values, not just with Gabi but with Abigail (who needs to resolve that relationship with Cameron for obvious reasons).

My only problem with a pregnant Gabi is that it will take months to resolve the story. Soap stories should last like two weeks, max.

Good to see Marlena foused back on family, too, and not treating patients. It's cute that she wants to play doctor but...c'mon. Service your man, girl!

Even Kristen is in the mix with the family focus. I hope she encourages EJ to forgive Dan- Dan was blinded by vagina so whatever he may have done wrong is totally not his fault at all. Nicole should suffer though. She's such a dumb slut.

And as for Sami- more, please! I hope that she and Rafe ultimately get custody of the baby. She's such a good mom to the kids that matter.

</sarcasm>

Not to mention the rumors that when Chloe comes back, it might have to do with changing Parker's paternity so that he's Daniel's son. :drunk:

as awfull as these writers are I rather them then MarDars. Mardar tend to dry the fuck out of one motherfucking sotyline they seem to not get over, and backburned characters to their best. at least with these we are seeing more of other characters but if the way storylines are done that are stupid. these writers are moving fast but sometime is good to stretch out storylines a little not like Mardar did tho.

For example: Nicole baby dying shouldnt be all about a damn prop for Dannifuck to get together, I believed thats Nicole 2nd baby she lost .
Storyline for her should have been: she cant believe her baby is dead so she enter the state of denial where she holds a creepy little doll and talk to him all the time to the point were she have to be in a mental hospital.



Storyline for Kate: She obsessed with plastic surgery, and her kids are trying to let her see that one day she just going to hurt herself, she have fashion shows and ine of the models are a Diva and you know Kate is a Diva and Divas dont deal with each other they need to show THE FASHION SHOW WE THE AUDIENCE NEED TO SEE IT. She can be planning in a new line of beuty cream, new line of swimsuits etc.....[/color]

Storyline for Adrieene: she a school professor (but Days would actually have to show her classroom) and they can show her grading papers, dealig with crazy kids. they need to show Salem University that would be a good addition to the show it would give the kids alot to do.

Abby: got herself a new BF that keep pressuring her to sex, also her peers are telling her how great sex is they need to show the kids being at parties since they are writting Abigail to be all innocent and what not they she could be victim of peer pressure because of that she become bad and a complete whore she took drug and why not Gabi should be one of her peer that get her into all that good stuff.

Nick: he needs to be a drug dealer thats owed alot of debts and people are looking to kill him

Gabi: needs to be a whore that doesnt care if Will is gay or not she sleep with everyone she insecure and just want all attention on her LIKE THE Bitch that she is so she might as well act like one.


Sami: she needs to forget the men and focus on her kids, Ciara or whatever her kid name can have problem at school she a trouble kid and what not, and one of them could get bullied and they are dealing with that it would give her and Lucas something to do.


Ej, John, Justin: they need to have a company that we actually sees and I dont know maybe the company needs a better campaign or else they could lose all their money and they trying to lift the company up or they can be in competition. it can simply be a lawfirm, they need to show them being in the court room defending people


Marlena
: thats where theSalem U come in place she can be a shrink to the school and have very trouble patients that drive her insane so she turning crazy cause she tinks to much of other people problem or she trying to find a solution but cant her problem with Joh can be that she is too much onto her patients to give John the attention he wants and he decide to seek comforts in Kristen arm.

Sonny: they can show his stressfull life between familly school and owning a business, and Chad needs to be involved in the coffeehouse after all he is coowner of it and Ian investing in the coffeeshop needs to come into play. Even the speaker serie Sonny talk about can help Chad and Sonny story keeeping the trolls of the mic.
Jennifer: she nneeds to die Period and take Daniel with her

They need to get a new girl on their 20"s on set tryin to seduce every rich powerfull man in town (the gold digger)

I dont know but I think this is better than what i am seeing well at least better in my mind but these things require consistency and dedication

Actually I would write a parody of this

the problem is the writers are telling more than they are showing they spend countless of hours having pointless conversation when they can just show instead dot they think that will be more interesting even cartoon shows and sitcoms do a better job far more believable Job than Days. They need to invest in more realistic sets they need to more their lazy ass out and film, everything is film aT HTS, COFFEESHOPS, or some cheap set they need to be more believable show cars builings people walking down real street not the HTS PLUS THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME GODDDAMN EXTRAS THINKING PEOPLE DONT NOTCIE. If you dont invest how you expect to win
