I cannot stand Belle! She is so mean and cold.
I couldn't believe the "chowder" remark. I can't stand her - officially.
That remark really ticked me off. I can't believe that John Black's daughter would make a remark like that.
Exactly John who was a Brady for 7 yrs and loves chowder more than anything else on this earth!! I also can't believe she said that.

Wow Brandon and Martha have the chemistry!! too bad I don't care anymore. ^o) :shrug:
They do. There isn't anyone else right now I want to see Shawn with, so hopefully Belle is written better, but I feel like it's going to be a long road.

Loved the end scene with Claire/Ciara/Theo/Joey and a captured Chase. "Now you can do whatever the hell you want with that piece of scum" Go Claire!! That was Bo Brady's granddaughter all the way. That is totally something Bo would say!!

Just like sorased Brady, sorased Belle has never had a consistent personality or consistent writing. I remember how, when Brady was being a total psycho asshole, Belle suddenly changed from agreeing that Brady had problems to being Brady's cheerleader. Langan could never figure out what the hell he was doing with either of them And it is still going on. Each new writer thinks they can do whatever they want with them.
That's my problem with soap operas. Characters sometimes become too inconsistent due to various writing regime changes!!

I agree 100% with everything you wrote!! PREACH :hail: :hail: :hail:
It's why I have a hard time caring about the younger generation as much as I care about the vets. The writing for the vets was so much better, and nothing can really compare.

Just finished watching this episode & the teen stuff was the only interesting thing today,
Which surprised me because I am not into the whole Vendetta storyline.

Tired of Victor & Phillip they are both vile in different ways.

Can't stand Dumbo Brady, Maggie & Scamming Summer so unless this has been orchestrated by Deimos
I don't give a flying fig about their story-line.

I want a new love interest for Shawn. He deserves better than the cheating shrew.
Is Chloe still coming back? I wonder if she comes back if she'll wind up being Claire's music teacher? :shrug:

I love Victor but wow he needs to dial his self righteous self down a bit. I have no love for Belle's story line any longer. I just don't get how she can rationalize the stolen money. The teens were the best part of today's episode. Theresa is totally right--this time. Brady is dumber than a box of rocks. I love how Maggie knows that when she bumped in to Summer that was the exact moment she lost her red shoes charm. All in all not a bad day.
Of COURSE she can rationalize stolen money because she's able to rationalize adultery as well. It's only bad when someone else does it or it doesn't benefit Belle. Hate Belle! Always have!

This is nothing compared to the insanity of Brady back when he tortured Marlena.

That's a fact!! ;) :hail: The writing has just been a mess since the early 2000's. the 80s/90s was much more consistent. Characters like Bo, Hope, John, Marlena, Shane, Kim, Kayla, Steve, Jennifer, Tom, Alice, Tony, Anna... etc those were one of a kind. and they still managed to maintain that "essence" of what the character is supposed to be for as long as they could until went south in 2000's. I love watching old clips, especially the 80s since I wasn't even born yet at that time. The new generations are just all over the place and the writing is just sloppy. Each new head writer wants to write their own version of what they think the characters should be.

Dear Belle,

It doesn't matter if Shawn was dismissive. . . you cheated on your spouse.

Sincerely,

The Viewers


Is Days really trying to justify her cheating on Shawn? Really!?1/
I didn't take it as "justifying" it as much as explaining it. Just because someone offers a reason for an action doesn't necessarily mean that the character (or the show) is trying to justify the action. It doesn't have to be as simple or straightforward as that. Belle can try to explain why she did what she did without Shawn (or the audience or the show) accepting that it excuses it or makes it okay.
I gotta disagree, I think Belle's been trying to justify, explain away and whitewash her affair since almost day one. Just like she's trying to justify buying a club for her daughter to "support" her singing or using stolen money to buy things - like the club.

especially after acting so freaked out with Brady about anyone suspecting she might know anything about it...now she might as well carry a large blinking sign.

I was never a big Martha Madsion fan, but these scenes are not helping me like her any better. I seriously hate her version of Belle. Now more than before in 2004-07.
KS's version of Belle was a bitch as well, though. I feel like so many people were able to be blind to Belle because a) Sami was there and b) she smiled through her bitchiness. From the moment she found out the alien twins were her siblings, all throughout the SSK storyline, to the beginnings of Phelle she was a horror with a sweet smile.
Belle became a bitch when MM took over and she started dangling Shawn and Philip around like puppets. KS was teen/young adult-college Belle her attitudes were appropriate. Yes she was always a little spoiled and a bit self-absorbed but that came with being brought up as the "golden child" but she was also kind, compassionate and empathic towards others and their feelings. she'd never throw shade at the Brady's like MM's Belle did today. But then again I understand that I have to blame the writing and not MM. But either way MM has never transmitted Belle's warmth the things that made her "Belle". It's a 180 from what the character was/is supposed to be.
Different strokes.....I found KS's Belle intolerable. Especially her squeaky voice, her peppy cheerleader personality and her Days of the Week underwear. I was immensely happy when she left for her prime time show (which failed), then tried to come back to Days, but Ken Corday said "sorry, we've got a great replacement" (Martha Madison).

Martha's Belle was smart, serious, not too peppy and ditsy, and looked like what I would imagine John and Marlena's daughter would look like.

Thank God, KS and her squeaky voice is over at General Hospital. She can stay there.

I just wish Ciara would tell Hope already that Chase raped her. All this angst and acting out is wearing me down. This is not the way too tell a rape story. The guilt and the shame ... I get that. But not going to get checked out ... not telling someone and going to the police ... that's just all kinds of wrong. Theo and Joe had the best instincts - Joe's was that Ciara had to go to the cops and Theo's was to go and talk to his Dad because he would know what to do.

Oh Vic is steamed at Philip!

What Vic didn't do that bald-haired guy did ... he knocked Philip right on his keester! I'm guessing this is the high ranking cop from Chicago.

Summer, Theresa and Brady could all disappear and I wouldn't miss any of them. What a colossal downer of a storyline. Talk about a waste of airtime.

I didn't mind the teens at all today ... minus those jerks in the park ... they were the best part of today's show outside of pop-up Abe.

though I don't think this is the way to tell a rape story which is one of my overall problems with those kind of stories, i dont think there is a correct way to react or that there is a wrong way to react.

Different strokes indeed. I liked KS's younger/teen Belle. She was sweet, innocent, with just a bit of an edge to her when needed & that was just right for Belle then. But when MM took over (I think we can all agree to ignore the other version :glare: :glare: ), she brought a maturity & savvy side to the character that I hadn't seen previously. I'm glad KS is on GH, I hope she's happy there (I don't watch so I can't comment on the character she plays), but I can't see anyone besides MM as Belle now.


I just need Hackley the fuck out of the HW seat & maybe Belle will be written as she should be.
