I just don't get DAYS anymore -- who are they writing for? If they're trying to keep longtime (read, older) fans, why oh why are they screwing with characters' pasts? What they have done to poor Maggie is criminal. If they're trying to get new younger fans, why oh why are they focusing on older characters? Shouldn't they be concentrating on the hot young boys and the girls who love them? It's a mystery to me. And frankly, with this confusing approach, they've almost completely alienated this longtime (read, older) fan who likes to see what's happening with the hot guys! |

Didn't Rory tell Deimos that whatever he brought him was a pretty powerful drug. |

I think Ben is just in Abby's head and she's heading towards a breakdown. KM said Abby would be forever changed by what happened, but up until now you would never know she went through such a terrible ordeal. |

Which is odd to me anyway because Maggie's surrogacy storyline didn't take place until 1981. |

The Summer storyline continues suck. I literally laughed out loud when they put Maggie at 17. Like... What? A great illustration of how lazy the show has become. Plus, if you have to do unbelievable contortions of show history to make a storyline possible, then it was probably a TERRIBLE idea in the first place. But what do I know. Chabby... UGH. Abby is headed for a psychotic break. Not looking forward to Abby slowly descending into a black hole of psychosis. Just really depressing. :( Edited by countess_cutlass, Mar 18 2016, 07:07 AM.

I got nada/zilch from Lani and Shawn. When they kissed, I expected them to go, "I got nothing, you?" I like Deimos but with Kate it kind of ruins him for me. I don't buy it at all. Kate needs to take a penis break. I loved the Chabby scenes, although I would have liked to even see more, but it is daytime, lol. I swear KM has me thinking Abby is really losing it. Great job on her and I see poor Chad's desperation to want to keep her safe and make her feel the same. I'm not going to be okay watching him watch her completely lose it, which is just how I see it going. I mean, Ben could be setting her up to look crazy, who knows, but in the end we know KM is leaving and with them trying to recast, Abby isn't dead -- unless it's presumed so -- and that could actually work better. Either way, I'm not going to handle Chad's emotional torment over this very well at all. I'm so protective over him like I always was Bo. The Scummer/Maggie crap that I listened too was preposterous. Why rewrite history for a NOBODY character? Edited by Ashtonion, Mar 17 2016, 09:33 PM.

From what Rory said, those weren't placebos. |

Brady must buy those engagement rings at Diamond Rings Are Us. Do you suppose he ever gets any of them back? Maybe he recycles. Summer blows, big time. How long will it take before Dario and Rory find themselves at odds with Rafe and JJ? |

So...this show. I can't stand Thrady. I don't even recognize Theresa now that they have her playing sweet fiancee/baby mama. This Summer storyline is ridiculous. I could have seen her being an egg baby (I guess?) but this is completely re-writing history. I'm okay with a slight retcon but this is serious. Although I don't think Summer is going to end up being Maggie's (there has to be a twist, right?), but obviously it must be true that Maggie knows she had a baby at 17 based on her reaction. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but more importantly I don't care even a little bit. I'm going to assume she was raped and that's the explanation they'll go with, but ugh I don't care about this storyline at all and the fact that it doesn't make sense makes it all the worse. I have no interest in watching Philip/Belle anymore. I don't even believe her when she tells Claire that he makes her happy because I haven't even seen that as part of their relationship. He's kind of a cartoon and I'm just really not liking her much these days, so it pains me because I wanted Belle/Shawn/Philip/Chloe back so bad. And color me surprised because I was not excited about BB coming back as Shawn, but he is by far my favorite of the bunch. Although I don't see anything between him and Lani, I am hoping with Chloe coming back there will be chemistry there. (Plus I often find that real-life exes have the best onscreen chemistry). But Philip and Belle just play like a joke to me. There's just nothing there. FI am really into Chad and Abby again. I like that they got a love scene. We need more of those. And I'm actually excited for Abby's breakdown. KM is playing the hell out of it. Plus I like that there's some mystery about it. How did the dress get slashed? What was with the phone call? It's like you can't be completely sure that it's all in her head. So I'm intrigued. Oh one final thing, it is driving me insane that Shawn hasn't found out (at least on screen) about Ciara. It is like he isn't even a part of their family anymore. With Ciara's dad gone, I would think her big brother would have quite the reaction to that news. I guess she could have asked Hope to keep it under wraps, but with Shawn working at the police department and Rafe knowing, I would think he would find out and have a big reaction. |

His father liked to propose too but at least it was usually to Marlena, like a dozen times in the late 90's lol Edited by Lovejm, Mar 17 2016, 11:17 PM.

There is no way Shawn CAN NOT know about Ciara. He works at SPD. This show! Days doesn't do family anymore........ except for the ones that shouldn't exist, i.e., Dummer..... |

Thanks for counting all those brides to be. I can't recall another character who has had so many broken engagements. Any bets on what happens to Jeanine Theresa before she doesn't walk down the aisle? |

Strangely, I'm OK with that because usually there were strawberries and whip cream for dessert. |

With these writers, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually do make it down the aisle at some point. Maybe after the Summer "angst." :rolleyes: I would laugh so hard if their wedding was the Olympics cliffhanger and someone sets off a bomb or something. :blulaugh: They'd probably kill off the wrong characters, though. :drunk: Edited by cord08, Mar 17 2016, 11:37 PM.

Claire's a good singer but she definitely needs practice. Maggie's little blazer is really ugly. |

Here I was thinking about how annoying Claire's hostility toward Belle is and then she goes and changes her tune. Finally. I was afraid we'd have another Will on our hands. |
