I think it's obvious that is a small group of people, that are angry about a certain death last fall, so they are spamming the comment section and giving each other thumps up. Edited by Sindacco, Feb 27 2016, 08:27 AM.

5 episodes....so sick of this. Nothing can get explored fully or in a good way if he is only there for 5 episodes. |

So the mother lied about the dad being dead. I wonder if we see her again? I am excited for John to be done searching for his past. |

That's Josh Griffith for you. Skip important beats and rush through the storylines. |

I can if you devote most of the airtime in those episodes to the story. I mean, would I prefer they span this out over a little more time? Sure but we also don't know the story yet. It may be an appropriate amount depending on that. Even still, you can explore what needs to be explored. It's just about utilizing those episodes to the fullest. Soaps can't tell stories like they did before. I wish they could but they can't. There are fans that get upset waiting a week for something nowadays. I see fans even getting upset with the pace of primetime shows now, which I think is ridiculous because primetime tells story ridiculously fast. This day and age is all about instant gratification so I get Days and other soaps moving at a quick pace. However, that means you have to make sure you play the beats in a short period of time and that is possible if the time you do devote to the story is used wisely. The problem in the Fall for Griffith was there was just too much going on. If they make this story the majority of the focus of those episodes, it should be fine. |

Tobin Bell is 73. Drake H. is 62. I do see a resemblance though. |

They look so similar. Tobin will be aged for the role. |

His writing for Y&R was neither dark nor fast-paced :shrug: . It is possible that the new HW team was "advised" to pace the stories differently because Tomlin/Whitesell's storytelling was too slow. |

Right? This seems show mandated in some ways. The criticism of Griffith before was that he would drag stories out too long. His entire run on Days has been the total opposite so far. I think he had a little bit of a dark edge to his writing but nothing like this. |

All I know is I'm sick of all things Rafe, Hope, Brady, Nicole, Daniel, Summer, Creature, etc. Bring on John's backstory already, Days - just make DAMN sure this one is set in stone, it makes sense and gives us another J&M wedding/honeymoon ON FRICKING SCREEN when he knows his true birth-name. I've been waiting MONTHS for this!!!! |

He was great in the Saw series. And I agree he and Drake look a lot alike. Can't wait to see his scenes. |

I wasn't trying to say you were wrong. I was just wondering why his writing style for Days was so different from his writing style for Y&R. Edited by thepadange, Mar 1 2016, 08:10 AM.

It looks like he faked his death and took a new identity. Probably for nefarious means. |

Would pacing be on the HW, though? Isn't that breakdown? This is stunt casting, so they're probably lucky to even have him for five episodes. |

As long as they focus on it the days it's on, it should work. |
