Days has always done well with the Soap Opera Awards (used to frequently sweep them) but has, for years, been consistently snubbed by the Daytime Emmys. I can’t even remember what the reason for it was anymore but I thought with so few soaps left that would surely change, but, nope, they don’t even get nominations, let alone awards.
Without writing a terribly long post, IMO, there are good things these writers are doing. They have come up with some interesting stories, they’re not letting things drag out forever, I think the directing has been great as are costumes, make-up, hair, set decoration, lighting, and all the other stuff.
What I’m having a problem with is the boring dialogue being thrown at us day after day. It pretty much consists of us watching two people consulting, consoling or chastizing each other. AND, rehashing the same lines over and over, e.g. Daniel/Jen/Maggie and Sami/EJ/Rafe and John/Marlena/Kristin. And now it’s starting with Gabby/Will/Nick.
