      Bonnie's attempt to country-fy Mickey after Maggie's "death" and the opening of "Alice's". :facepalm:

        As good as JE was as Bonnie, I really didn't like this. On top of the "over the top" Bonnie, we had a faux Mickey.

          lololololol. camp at it's worst (or best, I guess depending on how you look at it :D)

          As horrible of a character as miss Bonnie was I gotta say though thinking back now Judi did a great job with her. Bah, talk about believable.

            Adrienne was such a disappointment to me. I freaking loved Bonnie, she was a ridiculous person.

                I've loved and been on board with Judi Evan's Beth (GL), Paulina (AW), and Adrienne (Days), but I could not get into Bonnie. Judi did a good job acting wise, but I loathed that character.

                    Bonnie didn't bother me that much, that was around the time I started watching so I wasn't aware that she was on before as Adrienne... her rivalry with Julie gave me life their scenes were always hilarious

                          Bonnie was fun for what she was in the beginning. She did start to become a little too much though.

                              JC was in on the very beginning of the Bonnie horror. Then he retired. I remember thinking how happy I was that the man left with his dignity and did not participate in this trash.

                              Judi as Bonnie instead of Adrienne was bad enough...but Bickey was abominable. An epic fail by DOOL, IMO.

                                I don't know what was worse. The Mickey recast coupled with complete personality change or the character of Bonnie. Judi was loads of fun with her, but I just could NOT.

                                  Bonnie was by far the worst part of the show at that time. I like Judi Evans as Adrienne and I"m sure she had fun as Bonnie, but I'm not even willing to give her credit for being good as Bonnie. The whole thing was terrible.

                                        Typical Reilly too, turn a character named Maureen that originated in a storyline that was supposed to be about poverty in America and domestic violence, and then turn her into redneck caricature and golddigger Bonnie. The entire show just downright stupid during this time period. Jumped the shark indeed! And not only did he destroy this character, but it was right around the same time they began to destroy Mimi. I also had a hard time with Bonnie being Patrick's mother too.

                                          I can't wait to watch Aiden try to stall Hope from picking Ciara up (cause Ciara's busy trying to convince Roman to go with Giselle. lol).

                                            May 05, 2014#21

                                            Ciara succeeds at her mission to get Roman to go with Giselle - right as Hope gets there. lol. Hope wants to know what's up. Aiden arrives & tells Hope it's not Ciara's fault. Ciara calls Aiden "big mouth".

                                                  I guess it's not too uncommon for Days to change a character's name, a la Jeannie Theresa. 11 years ago we had Maureen Bonnie, mother of Miriam "Mimi" and Brian Patrick. I wonder why they didn't change Connor's name.
