I absolutely agree with Worst Marital Conflict and Worst Location. However, Best Plot Twist and Best Use of History is something we could debate on. Mariah being Cassie's twin messes up the timeline since it makes Cassie only a couple of years older than Noah, thus pretty much erasing the whole story about Sharon finding Cassie when Cassie was already a child and not an infant. And Dylan being Paul and Nikki's still remains unbelievably far-fetched in the show's timeline.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I don't agree with the worse marital crisis.....seriously? Will and Sonny fight over an article and what happened? NOTHING....he left Salem for Hollywood not because of his marital issue with Sonny but because they offered him the sun, moon and stars.....

I think what they're saying here is that is was the worst in marital conflict. The last few lines of this part says: "After Nick's murder and Gabi's subsequent imprisonment for killing him, Will and Sonny were in need of a story to keep the couple viable. Unfortunately, this one did not have the write stuff."

Hope that helps! :)

Please ease my soul and tell me the bolded part is just a misspelling on your part and not what was actually in the article. I can live with this happening on message boards, but not in a magazine.

No.. seriously...it's exactly what it said....seriously.....

And, again, I really think that it means that the writing was off for this couple at this time.

I'll have to respectfully disagree. Kristen's last stint was a HUGE waste, her exit was anti-climatic and very far-fetched. Her best exit was post-wedding reveal. Her scenes with Marlena, Eric, Brady and Nicole were fantastic. Miles better than that crap with Daniel and Theresa.

How could Kristen's goodbye possibly be the best? I mean, I suppose that story-wise it's rather soapy, but a dramatic exit does NOT make up for months of pointless story and character interactions that were lackluster at best. Kristen's 2014 stint was really bad, and I think Days' Most Disappointing Show is definitely deserved.

I only agree with these:

Most Rejuvenated Character: Maya - B & B
Most Disappointing Show: Days
Best Show: Bold and Beautiful


I would also agree with "Best New Character: Jordan - GH" if they actually gave her story. I do LOVE Vanessa Antoine.

The worst triangle hands down belong to B&B - Hope/Liam/Wyatt.
That frigging triangle went on for over a year and the only reason why it seems to be on a break is because the hair-flipping twit Hope isnt there any more because the actress is no longer with the show.
In fact the triangle was going on before that - i.e. when Steffy was there.

Hehe at DAYS as most disappointing. I soooo agree.

Best triangle Maxie/Levi/Nathan? Um. No. Not at all.

How can Sami's revenge be a best story when it completely fizzled out into nothing? It had a fun start. I'll give it that, but they couldn't carry it into a fantastic finish.

Kristen definitely went out with a bang, but that was only a day or two of really twisted action stealing an embryo. Her whole stint up to that point was non-memorable.

I agree with the lack of Rafe, Nicole and John. Those characters were disregarded and what they were given was sub par.

I'm in complete agreement that Days deserved the most disappointing soap award. As DOOLette said: 49 years and here is what we end up with. :shame: The show has such potential and yet it's flat. They seem to have little regard for romance and they can't take the reigns and write compelling action stories. The scenery doesn't help with so much happening at the park and TBD. The SPD has become non-existent as well as any engaging cop cat and mouse games. Days needs an injection of life stat or else it's destined to stay on the snooze list.
