Daniel, Carly and Melanie were about as silly as the actual three stooges. Who is writing this stupidity. I’m sure Carly loved the whole thing since she was practically sitting in Daniel’s lap. I guess she thought she could be just like Chloe and impress Daniel with her cleavage. How disgusting. If she thinks she’s sexy, she needs to look in the mirror. Jennifer is 100% more attractive than Carly and definitely a sincere person with a sweet spirit. Carly will keep playing the pity card until she gets Daniel. She doesn’t stop until she gets what she wants(Lawrence dead, an affair with Bo).
Speaking of Melanie – why does she claim to hate Dario and chase after him ever chance she gets. They are both disgusting and would make a good pair because they are so much alike.
I just cannot stand the fact that Carly is such a needy character. Had Lawrence, became desperate for Bo, desperate for Daniel, now desperate for meds, just desperate and needy and soooo boring. She is a grown woman, a doctor with a reasonably good life but she cannot be happy because she has no man? Come to think of it, what is it with Days and women getting hooked on meds of one sort or the other?
poor regard for women on this show. There’s not a strong, capable woman on Days right now that I can think of who doesn’t appear weak and dependent on a man. I hope these new writers see what a mess she has made of the females and that it becomes a major "fix" when the new writers’ work appears in the fall. Take Nicole, for example. Have you ever seen Nicole Walker this pathetic? And what about Jennifer? She’s suddenly so disillusioned with her looks and feels she can’t compete with Daniel’s deceased, Rebecca, or with Chloe? I mean, think about it. Name one competent, resilient take charge woman on this show who doesn’t have to use blackmail or jealousy or insecurity as a defense for their actions. Even Maggie is putting on a good act, but she was practically defenseless with Vivian yesterday. There was a time when she would have turned her around and booted her out the door. I am so glad this woman has been fired. I can’t believe what DH has done to the women of Salem.
take an example from Julie Williams. Strong, confident, tells it like it is and yet still devoted to hubby Doug. Geesh, maybe the older generation got it right! So much for women’s lib!!
Every woman on this show is pathetic. Vivian and Kate are both pathetic too. Kate is beholden to Stefano, Vivian has resorted to silly tricks that have no real purpose or story attached to them. And I have never seen Jennifer Horton so wimpy and self-loathing. Hope has no purpose now. Dana Higley has messed up every female on this show and I’m glad she’s gone.
it took Julie a long time and many nmen to become strong and confident. She went through many hard times and men befor she finally met the love of her life and that also had many drawbacks before she finally grew up.
I guess I am inthe minority but I liked the pub scene. It was nice to see a "family" ( although not a typical one) enjoying a lunch together catching up with the news. Carly didn’t want Dan when he was available cause of Bo, no it is too late. Jst would like to see Carly overcome her problem and become more independent.
I feel like Hope is more independent even though she’s back with Bo. She seems so much stronger now.
not sure the network has cared about having strong women in the show. In all the NBC surveys it asks if there are "strong men" but no question for strong females. I personally would always point out in the comments section about the lack of strong females. Anyway I agree with you Patti. Jennifer is especially aggravating me these days. She always put Jack in his place. Bringing up her sexual assault history to make her appear fragile to Daniel pissed me off to no end. She is a survivor!
I really believe Jen’s rape revalation was more a PSA than part of the plot. There was no reason for it other than that. It wasn’t relavant to the storyline at all which is why I believe it was only done as part of their civic duty. I wonder if the network or some other body requires them to do so occasionally.
the damsel in distress had to have a knight in shining armour come and rescue her – instead of the damsel taking care of the dragons herself! That’s why Higley didn’t write strong woman characters, she thinks we all are just twits and cannot do or think for ourselves, we all need a man to take care of little ol’ us… Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffpht!
soaps are either uneducated, unenlightened, or do not know of things of the world beyond the kitchen walls. I think she still thought her audience is/was from the Donna Reed era, and tended to write women as victims or still "fainting dead away" at the first sign of trouble instead of women who can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan!
Higley writes for t.v. soaps, (no matter how many men watch), which are still written for women, she was suppose to be on or at least see "our" side of life. If DH, as a woman in charge of writers, approved and/or wrote of Jennifer’s heart getting ripped out of her chest, (of which I think was a metaphore for Jack leaving her the way he did), or Chloe’s continuing being the weak willed little simp I-need-Daniel-to-be-perfect, or the myriad of other traumas facing Salem’s women; i.e, Sami never changing her tune for the last 15 years – then yes, Higley is a twit for thinking we were all twits and for not standing up for all the women who have made it on their own through all the trials and tribulations of life and she deserved to be fired.
