seems like all the characters I'm interested are leaving or probably should be. Chase and now Eric. I liked Eric with Nicole and I think that Chase was the best teen actor of the bunch. |

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

Well EJ was forgiven cause he was charming and hot. Jack was charismatic enough to turn his character around. I dont see Chase being forgiven by the audience in a similar manner. I'm tired of crazy abusive men on this show!!! God where is Bo Brady to kick some serious ass when you need him? |

I understand that this story could absolutely end up sucking, but I don't understand all the"what's wrong with these writers" comments. They're writing a rape story. They didn't do it accidentally (like I suspect they may have done with Ava). It's a common soap story. |

They've already had Marlena say (more than once, I think) that rape is about power, not sex. I really hope they have her reiterate that to Ciara. I do get a bit of a Liz/Lucky vibe from this. Theo will probably be there as a supportive friend, as Lucky was for Liz. Which, it was a highly discussed story that people rave about because of how they handled a very hard subject, so I guess they could certainly do worse. |

You're tired of crazy abusive men, so you want a man to come in and take care of it by being crazy and abusive? ;) |

It's a soap storyline. And it may be two in a month, but it's also two different writers in a month. At least this one isn't ambiguous. :shrug: |

what's crazy about a man punching his daughter's rapist? or abusive? Maybe in hindsight...OTT...maybe in hindsight a crime. Though I doubt any court would prosecute. |

I never forgave EJ and I hated how the show wrote that. Just loathesome. Jack was forgiven [or at least tolerated] because he went through a longterm inner battle and was truly remorseful. Edited by nananana7, Feb 17 2016, 04:02 PM.

It's sickening but it happens in real life so I suppose it's a good thing that some shows tell those stories. Shoud Days be one of those shows? I don't know. First, it's airing in the middle of the day, a lot of kids might be watching. Second, soap writers work like crazy to produce 250 episodes every year and I don't think they have a lot of time to seek advice about what they write, unlike writers of primetime shows. I think Days should let a show like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit tell those stories because there's a good chance they won't do it right. |

I wouldn't either, but that doesn't change the statement. |

And EJ was not forgiven by a lot of people. I could never take him seriously after that. Even if they'd had chemistry, I could never have rooted for him with Sami. Because of the rape. Jack was an entirely different story. They joked about the EJ/Sami rape. After some time, they had them talk about it like it was nothing. Jack, at least, was highly affected by what he did, even as time passed. Didn't forgive himself, and didn't belittle it. Jack hated himself, EJ didn't acknowledge it. That doesn't make either man right, but there's a difference. Edited by The Room Stops, Feb 17 2016, 04:02 PM.

I just fear the actress can't carry the story. But rape happens on a soap..Dunno if these young actors can pull off the beats. |

Apparently, Hope didn't realize that Ciara left home after she told her not to. |

no it's worse... Ambiguous is more entertaining. This is a young guy raping his young friend that considers him like a brother to her, after being talked to by a psychopath that is being framed for his father's death by the woman that killed him... I'll take ambiguous anytime...any day. And it maybe a common soap story, hell, it's a common life story... 1 out of 5...but it's still not entertaining. |

There's bloody bandages upstairs. Chad, when you buy a house, make sure the previous occupants take out the damn trash. |

Yeah, it could suck. But we don't know. Because it literally just happened. And we just had a very clear shift in regime. Which, IMO, matters greatly in this case. |
