The thing is, it's a soap and this allows some of us to like/love "villains" (we would never like IRL) be it because we like actors playing them or for any other reason. I don't feel bad for liking a villain on a soap but I have to admit I never liked (or rooted for) villains when I was younger. For some reason I started liking them in my 30s lol. I wish we had more gray characters instead of cartoonish villains though. I hate when they make a character that could be potentially gray do horrible things, like rape or kill someone. |

For the most part I prefer the bad characters, but I want them well written, and I agree I prefer them gray and not cartoon characters. I don't want them to be all bad and I want to see what makes them tick, why they're motivated to do the bad things that they do. |

I work at a hospital. Deaths are reported on our daily census report as "expirations" so her use of "expired" rang true to me. |

I don't see Joey as evil for murdering Ava, but I would like there to be SOME sort of consequence for him. He doesn't have to leave the show, he can just get sent to a psyche ward or something. The Fuckwad Three of Roman, his former sister-in-law and his former son-in-law though should get their asses handed to them. I hope Andre sues them penniless. |

My mom also was a nurse, said it all the time. Perhaps it depends on the area, hospital, etc. My cousin in another state said it is the term used there, as well. :shrug: |

It's entirely possible my mom just never used the term around me! Either way it sounds rather... weird, to hear, lol |

This! Bad/gray characters are more interesting. :shrug: I think that's partly the reason why RSW became so talked about once he turned into the serial killer. He was boring as hell as the good guy. |

Totally Totally agree with youi! Stefano should never have been a main character. Should have come to town, raised havoc, and then gone again. Felt like doing a happy dance when Hope shot him. LOL I quit watching GH when it became the Sonny mob show. Lame mobster. Tony Soprano would have made mince meat out of him. Or a "pork" sandwich! LOL Another funny thing, is that I hated TB when she was on GH, but liked her on Days. Haven't liked any character she's played though. Go figure. LOL |

Alas I agree with you on most things, but on this......I can't. I feel the show, the writers in this genre have made it impossible to hold the good guys to REAL LIFE standards, while allowing the villains to live in two worlds....the fantastical, and the real. On DAYS, the Dimera crimes are beyond the pale and then some. From creating volcanoes, to multiple lives, to creating a replica of Salem, to private dungeons, private islands, owning judges, cops and politicians, they are impossible to catch even when living amongst many, many eyewitnesses to their crimes. Thus the police, following the rules, do not come off as "good guys" to me, but as constant victims, unable to do ANYTHING AT ALL about criminals. It is too hard to believe ANYONE could be as good as the Bradys or the Blacks, staying inside the law, after all Stefano and Andre have done to John, Roman, Marlena, Hope, Bo and Steve. It is nonsensical to think that any one after being raped or tortured or brainwashed would never, ever be human and react......by doing in the villain. After all Hope did not go over to the Dimeras with a plan to kill him, though she came armed ready to do what she had to do. It was indeed Stefano's taunting that sent her over the top. To expect her to allow Stefano to trash and mock the love of her life after he just died is to expect her to be more than above the law....and that is not fair IMO. It is SO LOPSIDED in favor of the villains, it ceases, for me, to retain entertainment value. Starting back in the 90s, there was no excitement or mystery as to whether or not Stefano was alive or dead, or able to get away with whatever. In every story we KNEW. Stefano never dies, and never pays for his crimes. His victims could swear in front of the supreme court, backed up by ten other witnesses, and forensic proof and still the writers would have the Dimeras win. And his victims were never allowed to do what so many wanted.......make the villain pay. Enough is enough. Long past time a Brady or a Black got the upper hand and did it. |

Oh, could not agree more. Remember when the writers had the Feds make a deal with Stefano....pardons, or immunity or forgiveness or something, if he pretended to get a shipment of guns/arms for the Russians? (the writers even had Stefano use his own money, so Stefano stole the money t hat EJ had stolen from Basic Black, making John bankrupt). So Stefano was pardoned of all his crimes the Feds knew about, while the good guys in Salem lost their pensions. And now Stefano managed to get Andre' pardoned. I think the governor should be impeached, brought up on charges of corruption, Andre's pardon erased, and thus Andre' can stay in jail forever. Would sure make me happy! |

Your comparrison make more sense to me anyway because the previos poster is going by just one person and a tern they use/don`t use. Your post, on the other hand compares a group or groups of people. |

And that's the fault of the writing. "Good" characters can be interesting too but it takes skilled writers to bring that about. Days hasn't had that kind of writing in decades. |

If it had been WayneNorthrop-Roman ... in this episode ... I think it would have been more believable on a gut level ... for total understanding about what Hope did. It should have been Wayne. A total payoff for the audience for decades of DiMeras torturing the Bradys. (I would bet that many longtime viewers would happily pretend that the Alex North situation never happened.) It should have been Wayne-Roman that Hope confided in. It should have been Wayne-Roman who decided not to arrest her. It should be Wayne-Roman at the pub next week when they celebrate Stefano's death. I want this. I *need* this. Edited by nananana7, Feb 27 2016, 07:54 PM.

I was gonna say...and let's not pretend that there haven't also been huge writing mistakes in the writing for villains. Some villains may be more interest, but we've also had a LOT of duds. And some are interesting sometimes and boring other times. It's not good=boring and bad=interesting. It's well-written=interesting and poorly written=boring. |

Andre blackmailed Aiden into being a "hitman" -- to kill Hope. I have a question: Did Stefano know that Andre ordered the hit on Hope? Was Stefano complicit in the crime? (I focused more on the non-murder storylines, and didn't focus on the murder plots, so I honestly don't know.) Edited by nananana7, Feb 27 2016, 08:09 PM.

Yes, Stefano knew Andre had Aidren try to kill Hope. He was in the room when they had their discussions. |
