For all the Carlys it would be MONSTER MASH Cuz they're all a graveyard smash.

I like reading your comments, even though I don't have any good feelings for Jennifer - or Julie either at this point. Your posts remind me what a newish viewer like me lacks in perspective that longtime fans like you have. You got to see - and remember - when these characters were written differently, and nothing but nothing will dim your affection for them. That's part of the beauty of soap history. I used to feel the same way about AMC, when a new viewer would "hate" Dixie, or even worse, "like" Ryan. From what they were seeing onscreen, I could get it. But my history with the show left me unable to ever dislike Dixie, or EVER (and I mean EVER, LOL) like Ryan. Soaps are such a unique entertainment experience, aren't they?

Can anyone BE as ANNOYING as Julie?? Even Gabi, dumb as she is, isn't as irritating as Julie. Why can't someone throw HER in the river?

Good Lord, I think we have a tie today. Gabi, as usual, coasts to the finish without breaking a sweat in the stupid department. But gaining on her and finally running in tandem we have JULIE!! Now if there was a special award for cluelessness, then Julie would take that one home. Sonny and Will have every right to bar Nick from their wedding, they have every right to bar Nick from their lives. And they should be doing the same with Julie as well. That loudmouth, empty-brained nincompoop is too stupid to live. Now just imagine being on a cruise ship and finding out that Julie has been assigned to your table......MAN OVERBOARD!!

He won't be able to really love his grandson until he shoots him in the chest. That's the Corinthos way.

So well said - and in such a kindlier fashion about Olivia than I could have managed. And it's too bad. Sonny deserves Olivia, and she deserves him. But he also deserves whatever nuclear STD he'll get from Ava. If ONLY she could make "Little Sonny" rot and fall off....

Wasn't it great hearing Hope use her COP VOICE to take down the bad guy? Chase looked like he could barely stay awake. Jenn is like some rabid parrot, isn't she? She just blabs and blathers on, like an infinite number of monkeys eventually typing out Hamlet, I guess she thinks that if she lets the words flow eventually she'll make some sense. So far it hasn't worked. Oh yeah, she sure had a mourning period for Jack alright. Too bad it ended before the elevator hit the basement. She was putting on lipstick for her next Dr. Dirt Date before they got Jack's body out of the elevator shaft. I in NO way mean to be sympathetic to Brady, who really should be dating Gabi if he wants to be with someone on his own level, but ferchrssakes, as LeftPhalange says, Maggie, SHUT UP. That constant nattering is enough to drive me to drink, much less the Brady lunkhead. Victor must have had earplugs surgically implanted since he married her.

The anvils were dropping like a Roadrunner cartoon today - although those are far more subtle than GH these days. After being subjected to mindnumbing months of the unseen NINA and that horrid backstory, we got a preview of yet another one today, when Dr. O. and Pincil Lips were talking in their cells. Reference was made to some horror in their young lives that made Pincil Lips flee Zurich, change her name and miraculously not only drop all hint of a Germanic accent but pick up an upper East Side one. Which means that Ron C. will entertain us with the backstory of Hansel and Gretel. Please God it won't drag out like NINA did. Since Ron C. has no shame about stealing from other writers, and thinks he's endlessly funny, I suspect the women will be the daughters of Frau Blucher and Igor (pronounced EYE-gor) from Young Frankenstein, and they'll get Cloris Leachman to do a cameo as their mother. Then it will turn out that Victor Frankenstein (pronounced Franken STEEN) did the bad plastic work on Pincil Lips, and Dr. O was first married to the horse that howled. Ron C. is so FUNNY.

Now THAT would be Must See TV! I don't think I'd ever stop smiling.

It would be worth it just to see Block O'Wood's nonreaction to it. And listen to his labored "you.....are....my.....sister?.....mother.....is......not.....my......mother? Then watch his head explode and all those ball bearings come rolling out.

So at what point did the writers decide to have Jenn turn completely into the Gladys Kravitz of Salem? I swear I expected her to start calling Daniel by the name of Abner and accuse Samantha of being a witch when she was nattering and nagging on at JJ and his girlfriend in the Square. Then she invites them all home for some cake like some character from a Grimm's story. And get a load of the bun she was wearing. I suspect that when she and Abigail have their hair in that bun, they're getting ready to hatch all the poison spider eggs they incubate. It's wierd watching Daniel kiss her, too. I don't like Daniel, but at least he's just a stupid lug. Jenn, on the other hand, comes off as his great aunt, and a mean, gossipy one too. I do not mind JJ and his girlfriend, which is a first for me liking a teen storyline of any kind from the days of Phil and Tara and Chuck and Erica on AMC back before the flood. I don't like them THAT much, but I do think both actors have some talent and some charm. And any girl that could meet Jenn and not run screaming from her son has more courage than I thought.

I know it's illogical, since Nicholas - in this instance - has done nothing wrong. But regardless, I wish the Pillsbury dough boy with the bad dye job and even worse combover would just STFU. And then do it again. LIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ will live and then the two of them can slobber over each other till Windemere gets even more moldy. As for Maxie's new pet slug, here we go with Ron C. populating Port Charles with the GH version of the horrible Ford Brothers he tried to ruin OLTL with. Aussie Pop and Block O'Wood will now spend most of their time shirtless, involved in humorless hijinks that will leave us all simultaneously appalled and bored - and it will only be a matter of time till there's a third waxed, hairless, talentless boy toy bopping around with them. Ron C. seems to need to have his stable of mindless manmuffins travel in triplicate - like the Three Stooges or as Ron C. undoubtedly thinks, the Holy Trinity.

From your lips to God's ears. I swear that her insufferable smugness and constant berating of whoever is closest makes me think she's a long lost sister of Krystal Carey from Pine Valley. Both of them suffer under the delusion that they're just cute as a button instead of resembling a rabid potato bug with delusion of grandeur. But according to the extended Horton clan, she's JUST THE BEST dontcha know. Hope says it all the time - but going by how much sugar she put in her coffee yesterday I'd say she's just on a sugar rush. Amazing how much Abigail resembles Jenn, isn't it? Just like Kwak and Babe in Pine Valley...shudder...

And in the midst of all the boring B.S. being thrown around about NINA, poor Nina, we have that ever-dependable family man, Sonny aka Garden Slug Corinthos and Dullivia "Sugu" Falconeri - SUCH a treat. So Dullivia was wailing about the baby to Sonny yesterday - and she SHOULD have been (first and last time I ever say this horror does anything appropriate) - but Sonny Boy, World's Best Grampa, can't even give her or the kid ONE MINUTE of attention before he turns the conversation back to Michael and how worried Sonny is about how Michael is feeling. That Sonny, such a great dad. He's not JUST for breakfast anymore. That Olivia, dumber than a box of rocks and far less attractive.

I do! That's when we get closeups of her and Rafe. And he is definitely a sleep aid. But I so agree, let's get on with it. I love Days but the way things get dragged out, conversations repeated and repeated can feel deadly. Dragging things out too long can sometimes make the payoff a bit underwhelming. And in that vein, how bout Fish Lips Fallon getting at least a LITTLE pushback?? He's messing with both the DiMera and the Kiriakis family - he should be in cement shoes by now, size 14 by the looks of it.

It would be even more fun if that had been the word Sonny's mother had used to describe him. Just think how Port Charles would be.....

It's such a shame IMO that RH has been so ruined with such a waste of a character. I enjoyed him as Todd, loved him with Blair. I despise both the character of Franco and his characterization of it - although to be fair I don't think anyone could have made this always loathsome, always unnecessary character anything I'd want to watch. This taints RH IMO. It was bad enough to have to listen to ME overact and Donna Mills do the same, explaining the loss of Nina to the block of wood. AND WHO CARES? This is a raw wound - Ron C. can try to force this crap down our throats DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY, but there was no story for AJ???? Really? It seems to me that even the actors haven't been able to drum up any feeling for this storyline either. ME has always had a limited range, but good Lord he really sucks in these scenes. I've been tired of Dr. O since her second scene. IMO she's proof of how funny Ron C. thinks he is. She's not - he's not. As for Donna Mills, she must need gas money or something to have wasted her time doing this nonsense. Such garbage - a whole storyline about a dead woman we've never met, about people we don't know, doing things somewhere other than Port Charles. Crap.

Anyone who can bring a loathing for Babe Carey into the discussion goes to the head of the class in my book! She was just the worst, and a worthy comparison to bring out whenever soaps start circling the drain. I don't hate Britt as much as you do but I wouldn't miss her if she disappeared today and took Nickolas with her. Dr. O's charm eluded me by her second appearance on screen. Villians need to have a bit of depth, not just imitate Cloris Leachman's voice in Young Frankenstein and look like Henry Kissinger. She and Franco are IMO the prime examples of how enamored Ron C. is with his own humor. Ha ha....not funny. And Brad.....the bastard child of Pepe LePew and SpongeBob SquarePants. They should have cast him as a one-celled organism, that I'd buy. And that's the talent he has.

I hate to say it but Gabi was the clear winner, once again. Although she did have some pretty tough competition from EJ and Brady. It was a bit amazing that Gabi was able to mount a fairly well-spoken - though erroneously thoughtout - response to Sami. By which I mean she was able to string some words together without swallowing her own tongue. She still made no sense, she still avoided Sami's common sense (Sami and common sense don't happen that often) when Sami reminded her that they thought they were getting rid of a dead body to PROTECT HER, and did she not remember why she bonked Nick on the head to begin with. Of course, Gabi's way more interested in getting boinked than why she got bonked. It was like watching a third-rate ventriloquist dummy talking. Then we've got EJ trying to bluff his way past Stefano. Does the boy NEVER learn who the grownup psychopath in the room REALLY is? Then we had Brady - (can the guy ever say anything without flexing and making a fist?) asking about Theresa, hearing what bad news she is and then deciding to go for it. Not that I have any sympathy for Brady. The guy is such a moron - and a mean one at that.

You're probably right. Since Dante wasn't raised by Orange Glow at least we can sure doesn't smell like an overpowering mix of Coppertone and insincerity. But I bet Dullivia dosed that boy with liberal portions of Old Spice (undoubtedly what Sonny wore when he slicked it down in Bensonhurst)and sauce. The boy undoubtedly improved when he was finally on his own. Morgan, on the other hand, probably smells like monkey from Carly and motor oil from Sonny.

Those two are the worst. Just the worst. Saint Jenn loses her cool at the drop of a hat with just about everybody, and she goes off on Daniel about something virtually every day. That's when she's taking a break from yelling at someone else, of course. The woman is NUTS, not the saint the Hortons claim she is. Was she this big a bitch with Jack? Slip that checkbook of hers somewhere the sun don't shine.

Since someone already stole her sanity why should she keep her money? Honest to God, after Jenn's latest hissy fit Daniel wins dumbest of the dumb today not to have dumped her skinny psychotic ass. Her stupid checkbook shows up at his place and she immediately jumps down his throat? And she does this to this doofus almost DAILY. All the Hortons seem to try and promote her as this beacon of goodness and light and I think they push it a bit too hard. She jumps to conclusions way faster than that tiny brain can actually compute and if she's not yelling at one of her kids or Theresa she's gunning for the guy she "loves". So she's an evil basket case with a creepy smile. What's Daniel's excuse?? It's like this is the only woman ol' horndog could nail. We had Gabi and Nick again too, but today, for me, Daniel wins. If he'd slammed the door in her face, okay, but he didn't.

So Lulu is at the police station BECAUSE HER BABY WAS KIDNAPPED, but instead of focusing on that, she and Nickolas spend all their time discussing Liz and his conversation and by extension, their relationship. Yeah, cuz that's what's really important. Then he goes to see Liz because he just HAS to know about her and Ric and is confronted by that gun-toting ex-chorus girl from "Springtime for Hitler". And Brad - the guy with the insufficent upper lip and the Alvin and the Chipmunks overbite - wishes Britt well while she goes off - he assumes - to further KIDNAP HER NOTSON - and his first instinct is to see if he can possibly weasel another lay out of Lucas. Does anyone really give a rats ass about Ben? Other then Britt, not that I can really see. Such stellar writing..... I swear, Frons is still in the building. No doubt about his paternity even in spite of his showing some intelligence. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, although I suspect Morgan still hasn't learned to tell time. He looks exactly like a Corinthos, and today I bet he smelled like one, too.

Man, we really do have some contenders for the crown, don't we? Brady certainly is Crown Prince in waiting, while Abigail is in the running for dumbest and also most hypocritical. Going off on EJ the way she did about him sleeping with her was pretty rich, considering she stalked him for sex in the boardroom AND followed him into the changing room at the Health Club. I thought Nicole was smarter, but she's gotten REALLY dumb since Eric ditched the collar. He's not the brightest, either, but more in a "good dog, go fetch the ball" sort of way. And as has been said here, EJ wins no awards for not being able to resist Abigail - (dude, she puts her hair in a BUN for chrissake!) and not carrying protection before doing the deed with Jenn Jr. But Gabi.....man, she makes Rafe look smart. Sierra could take 'em all out with one hand tied behind her back.

Wow. Isn't Caroline Brady EVERYTHING good about this show? Oh, I don't mean only her, but what an absolute treat it is when we get to see the vets in action, and what a stellar day when we get not only Caroline, but Victor and Maggie as well. Not only is Caroline a treasure of a character, but what a gem Peggy McKay is. Characters like these are what got me watching soaps and what has kept me watching. Oh, the storylines are fun, and fun to poke fun at sometimes, but it's the humanity that characters like Caroline - and so many others - bring to the shows that keep them a must see for me. As much fun as I poke at Days, this show is IMO the last man standing that realizes people like to see multigenerational families, grandparents, parents, children, etc., interacting and being a vital part of the show. Caroline sure showed that today.
