So, I double checked and saw that for the 2/4/16 ep, Dena Higley's name appears 1st as Head writer, but today's ep, 2/8/16, Josh Griffith's is 1st. Does that mean anything? |

Not necessarily. I think Jason said before that their names alternate in credit position about every other week. |

Today definitely sounded like there was movement to the Hope Rafe reveal and maybe a direction change for the Ava story. Which is good news. I do agree with someone who mentioned it may take a few more weeks until sweeps ends to wrap this stuff up. I'm also still hoping Chad and Abby elope. Every day it seems less likely a wedding in Salem happens. |

I pretty much agree, although I think there were a few hints from the start of what the writers were committed to in this story... Steve and Kayla needed to be together for the story, Ava was going to sleep with someone, and Joey was going to play a major role (one that I don't think has played out yet, although I've been wrong about a lot). The exact how/what/why to accomplish that has felt more haphazard. |

I think you might be able to repair Hope, IMO, after today's show...there is no way, to repair Rafe. |

I don't think a wedding going to happen....its all about drama. I can just picture somebody interrupting the wedding or something and Abby freaks out.. All down hill from there. Where is the romance? Def. not at days. 🙄 |

OMG. TB was awful in that last scene. Talk about over the top. Poor Chad, he already know if Hope murdered Steffi, it's going to come between him and Abby.Abby is already jumping to Hope's defense. Hence why he wants to elope. Not interested in a Theo/Ciara/Chase triangle. Sick of Andre. |

You may be right in the small changes we're seeing today and I'm hopeful. But what a mess to clean up and salvage. The whole Stefano murder/cover-up, the Steve/Ava/Kayla storyline and the never-ending Daniel worshiping reeks of Higley. All the good that was accomplished in the fall, in terms of character & storyline development went down the tube in less than 2 months. Let's hope Higley's "leave of absence" is PERMANENT! DAYS definitely doesn't need recycled stories that failed previously and somehow I think the actors are not enjoying them either. |

I haven't watched yet, but reading from the recaps I'm so ticked off that Chabby were barely on. This was the one day this week they were suppose to be on besides the dream episode on Friday. Just frustrating. |

I'm very disappointed in the lack of romance. It is nonexistent right now and the Valentine's episode isn't even real. Personally I think they really dropped the ball with Chad and Abby. They should be getting huge romance now and it's anvil central and reduced airtime instead. It's almost like they don't know what to do with happy couples. I'd bet we barely see J&M until things go haywire for them with the assassins. Which again is fine considering how bad the writing is now. Edited by Lovejm, Feb 8 2016, 03:56 PM.

The first time Chabby dated, it was more Chad itching to break up so he could swap tongues with Melanie. Abby had a big-time crush on Austin and was obsessive, sort of what we just watched with Joey and Ava. She then came to her senses that it was misguided. Yes, Chabby have had their ups and downs but their love has endured. I don't know what long-term relationship on a soap isn't complicated and messy. |

I get the extenuating circumstances, but she still chose Ben over Chad. She knew she loved Chad, she could have just co-parented her child with Ben, but she chose to move in with him & accept his proposal. And that was after Chad poured his heart out to her more than once. And it was Cameron's text that we saw Abby crying over on NYE 2013, not Chad's. Then she slept with EJ the next day. It doesn't matter if she was lonely, she still slept with Chad's big brother. It obviously hurt Chad that she did that or he wouldn't have been so awful to her when he returned. |

I get the frustration, but with the shit that's airing now, I think they're dodging a bullet by getting little airtime at this point. |

True. And for all we know, that's largely the extent of the notes Dena gave the breakdown and script people: Put S&K back together, have Ava sleep with someone, and shove Joey in there somehow. Lysie has said a few times that is kind of Dena's style, and it would explain why some things have felt so nonsensical and slapped together. |

It is interesting because I feel like the lack of Chad/Abby may be because the brainwashing stuff was supposed to go on longer. We know BF hated it and maybe that story was easy for Griffith to influence/end while the others weren't. I mean,we know Griffith was still there and just because he didn't have the kind of influence he had in Fall doesn't mean he wasn't doing anything. I could see him getting his way there and Higley probably being ok with it because they had gotten to the point where they needed to move Belle into the Philip story anyway so they no longer had to have Belle involved with Chad to give her something to do. It was probably a way for Dena to get her way on other stories by tossing Griffith a bone with the Chad/Abby stuff (just like Griffith would throw Higley the occasional bone in the Fall whenever there was a Justin/Adrienne/Lucas episode or some Rafe/Hope pushing and such). Griffith wrote a ton for them in the Fall so I can see him being really protective of that and pushing to at least get a hold of that and I think it's obvious he did because once we got beyond the brainwashing, they no longer seemed to get the same crap writing as everyone else. Every writer has their own style and feel and you can easily tell what is Higley and what isn't. |

You know I think Billy Flynn is a great actor and has brought the role of Chad to life for me, but I have realize I do need to have a romance to keep my interest, because although his non romance scenes are good, the romance is where you see the heart of Chad come shining through. I watch soaps for romance so I always have to have a underline romance in a story to keep my interest. |

I'm not interested in this Theo/Ciara/Chase triangle but Ciara and Theo did give me some sparks today!! Their chemistry is stronger than Chase and Ciara's. But as much as I don't care I still prefer this to Shawn/Belle/Philip round 462!! Edited by PetrovaSalvatore, Feb 8 2016, 04:23 PM.
