Bo and Hope was the only remaining supercouple, but their status has fizzled. Any good Soap must have a strong Supercouple/ rooting couple. Sami and Rafe have now filled that void. They are romantic, engaging, and funny. We still need one or two more strong couples such as Melanie and Nathan and love interests that remain constant for a period of time instead of the on again, off again, off forever nature of the love interests that we have seen as of late.newjeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11275166104285497615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-91042796927810841642010-02-09T12:38:45.827-05:002010-02-09T12:38:45.827-05:00Stefino does have a purpose: We're learning mo...Stefino does have a purpose: We're learning more about how he loves his family. He's desperate for EJ's affection. Also, I don't want Maggie to love another!<br /><br />My suggestion: Quit dragging out Carley telling Mel she's her mother. I've been waiting so long that I don't even care anymore. Really, it's like waiting for Stefino to get caught!Clover04750https://www.blogger.com/profile/09271392479825864829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-62066899592587125602010-02-08T22:37:07.155-05:002010-02-08T22:37:07.155-05:00I have to admit that the only reason I started wat...I have to admit that the only reason I started watching Days again was the ending of GL and Crystal Chappell returning to the show. Since then the other storylines have drawn me in. I am invested in Rafe and Sami. I want to know where Maggie is going now that Mickey is gone. I like Melanie and Nathan. The whole Carly/Bo/Hope/Justin relationship makes me want to watch everyday. <br /><br />I agree that there are many areas that still need improvement but all in all I am hooked. I can get lost in a soap again but not feel like they think the viewer is dumb. <br /><br />Keep up the good work Days.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857271716494885122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-17446371891844820552010-02-08T21:48:14.458-05:002010-02-08T21:48:14.458-05:00I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT ALL CARLEY NEEDS TO BE TRIE...I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT ALL CARLEY NEEDS TO BE TRIED FOR THE MURDER AND LET BO AND HOPE GET THEIR STUFF BACK TOGETHER, I LOVE MAGGIE, AND IF SO MANY OF YOU ARE SUCH FANS COULD YOU NOT AT LEAST ACKNOELEDGE THE PASSING OF THE BELOVED MRS.

It gets hammered for being too campy with its storylines, but you know what, it's a soap and with soaps it's an escape from reality. Plus through it's silliness, Days still has their moments of realism mainly with the recent Mickey Horton death. This show is the heart of my soap viewing and happy to see people are back watching it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-91923059852562321752010-02-08T17:59:31.229-05:002010-02-08T17:59:31.229-05:00It is crazy that Marlena isn't even mentioned ...It is crazy that Marlena isn't even mentioned while Eric who hasn't been around in years ends up getting mentioned quite a bit. Yeah they could at least have Sami mention a phone call or have her get an email or even a letter.<br /><br />Kidnapping seems to be a Brady tradition since so many members of that family have been kidnapped.<br /><br />Suzanne has been great and I just love her scenes with Molly. Who wouldn't want an Aunt Maggie around? I know I would. As for John he's been so funny. That would be interesting if Victor and Maggie became friends. Potential for triangle after all he's carried a torch for Caroline all these years.<br /><br />I do wish they'd bring Victor Webster back as Nicky. I just wish they'd end this kidnapping storyline since it has been going on too long. Yeah I'd be interested to see Mom And Dad Hernandez. Why not bring Eva on since she did play Galen and Lindsay's mother on Passions.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535540117477582033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-10674911288994465212010-02-08T17:57:00.216-05:002010-02-08T17:57:00.216-05:00I'm a 3rd generation fan and this is almost th...I'm a 3rd generation fan and this is almost the Days I grew up with!

The dialogue was more witty and clever and it was more character writing under Hogan.<br />I really don't like the writing for Sami, they can write her as a heroine but she can stay sassy, strong and a wooden hero like Rafe is really not a match for her. I really would prefer her with somebody who suits her or even better as a single strong mother. We don't see her with her children but always dependent of Rafe, this character does nothing to me (no charisma at all) and the worse he destroys Sami !

The writing is contrived and has no heart. What ever happened to a slow building love story? I fell in love with Bo and Carly and Steve and Kayla back in the late 80's and early 90's- back when soaps would make you wait!! Now people just fall into bed after talking for a few days.

Seems to be on stable ground for once, something I haven't been able to say in over a decade. <br /><br />I especially like the way they're using history, causally incorporating it into dialogue, like people do in real life. Feels like a nice reward for watching the show for all these years. <br /><br />But I was disappointed about some of the historical oversights surrounding Mickey's funeral. <br /><br />Mike Horton believed Mickey was his father for the first 16 years of his life. Shouldn't Mike have come back for the funeral? Or at least have been mentioned in some way? <br /><br />Similarly, Laura Horton was married to Mickey for over a decade. Coudln't she have at least sent flowers? <br /><br />Where was Jennifer? A phone call from her would have gone a long way. <br /><br />And Lucas didn't even show up at the funeral! And Lucas is still on the canvas!<br /><br />But it was nice to see Melissa back for the funeral, even though she didn't have any scenes with her best friend Hope. <br /><br />And great to have the flashback scenes of Mickey and Maggie's romance. Wish there had been more. Lots more!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527835638959413151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-67132609429666206992010-02-08T07:29:23.442-05:002010-02-08T07:29:23.442-05:00I've watched Days since the second year it was...I've watched Days since the second year it was on.

Anna needs to stick around and get away from EJ, maybe a hook up with Roman again. I love how they remind people of the past and something was said about the Kate sleeping with Nikki, I think that should be forgotten and they should bring him back in late 20's age and hook him up with all those younger cast. Age Mia up a bit or Nicole. Think he would liven it up. If they brought him back now, he would be the same age as his mom after his SORAS...Just saying...Days at its Best 2010!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-59151659054227662142010-02-08T02:20:27.891-05:002010-02-08T02:20:27.891-05:00Dare I say this, but it has gotten better since Ma...Dare I say this, but it has gotten better since Marlena and John left the canvas.
