This thing with Jennifer and Maggie sticking their noses in Daniel’s life is just so unbelievable and unberable to me. Who in the world would ever do what Jen is doing, she has become a stalker. Daniel has told her over and over and over it’s none of her business and to butt out but she still keeps on. "Daniel…we have to talk!" Eeeeeeekkkk, I’m gonna scream! Enough.
We had such high hopes for these new writers but I think they may even be worse than the last. They don’t seem to have any imagination at all. That thing with the baby shirt and everybody coming so close to it so many times was ludicrous. And that nurse that wanted to take it almost gagged me.
I don’t even watch Jennifer anymore. I just fast forward every time she’s on which is too bad because I usually like to watch her. I also fast forward almost anything that has to do with this riduculously boring storyline. Jennifer has become so completely obsessed to the point where she needs help. She needs Marlena ASAP.
that this SL WOULD lead to Jenn seeking counseling because at least we’d have some cause and effect. But somehow I doubt it; it’s going to be the truth about the baby’s death comes out and Daniel will come crying back to his mom and Jenn about how right they were.
Maggie’s insufferable butting in has been this way for some time now, but Jenn it is just unseemly. Who da heck are these people to harrass Dan or anyone!both such strong women have turned into paranoid psychotics. If this is the writers’ ideas of sweeps month, I’m ashamed I actually was praising their return. I can’t even wrap my head around how they are both behaving. Jennifer may be worse than Marlena, but she is quickly catching up with her paranoia regarding Kristen. I want my strong, challenging, unnerving "doc" back.
That what’s going on, and what’s coming, is SWEEPS. I’m ready to sweep the show under the carpet. Sorry Patti, I know you told me to hang on, give it time, etc., but there’s enough unhappiness in the world, I watched to escape, not get more frustrated. You know what I mean?
I just might be right behind you. If these stories, as well as the writing of characters I have grown to love over the years, don’t take a serious turn for the better by the end of the year, I might be looking for a better way to spend my time than wasting it day after day on a show that is just too frustrating to hold my interest any longer. It can’t just be me, either. I read nothing but disappointment and negativity by posters on other boards as well. How can they (DOOL) expect to be picked up if they keep losing the general audience. This is not my imagination. Days is now in last place in ratings, and there are only 4 soaps left. I think the soap genre is in its last stage of life as we know it.
with so many soaps being cancelled, there must be a lot of talented writers out there looking for job. Why can’t we get any to write for Days?
if it’s KC & Company that’s driving this drivel. Afterall, how many writing teams has Days had over the past several years – people who’ve come with credentials from other successful soaps – and we’ve continued to see this same pattern that is tiresome, silly, boring, unrealistic with plot usurping character.
For me, Days lost its way with the death of the senior Cordays. As the saying goes, cut off the head and the body dies.is that SONY, NOT NBC and certainly NOT Corday Productions, is running the show now. If they are no longer interested in putting forth the effort to save this soap, it will not be saved and NBC and Corday Productions are simply acting as the pall bearers, staying with DAYS just long enough to carry it to it’s grave, which will be next year if the network decides not to renew it. How very, very sad.
low quality product has been going on for years. I can’t even remember when it was still the kind of show I anxiously anticipated sitting down for every afternoon. There is no excuse for bad or lazy writing no matter if you’re on a listing ship.
the networks are in such a hurry to cancel soaps when the alternatives for daytime watching are so bad! Talk show after talk show, not to mention reruns of reality shows gets really tiresome for viewers. I’d take a soap that isn’t written so well over a talk show any day of the week. Guess I’m in the minority, though.
Your comment about soaps being the exception as a format for daytime TV is a good one and one that I have also been making for some time. I can’t tell you how fatigued I am with all of the "lifestyle" shows on now – The Talk, The View, The Chew, Nate Berkus, that one with the style guy from Project Runway (unless it’s been canceled already) etc. There are only so many shows of how to turn your old patio furniture into planters and how to make an easy week-night dinner with simple ingredients (like ginger root or something, like everybody has THAT in their pantry) that I can watch. I think soaps are now the respite from these droning shows and I really hope that NBC keeps Days around. Although I do have to say that I love Ellen and will watch her show anytime, but I classify her as a talk show and not a lifestyle show.
