  1. I loved the fact that Rosie bought up the hidden racism in latin communities..I wish that she had been given a chance to articulate her thoughts...Latin culture takes pride in their European heritage, but fail to celebrate their African and Native American roots....Africans who were bought as slaves in Latin countries contributed to Latin culture. The Spaniards and the Portuguese colonizers were the ones who created the slave trade and everybody else followed suit... There is a movement now to bring cultural awareness of Black pride in Latin cultures; Afro-Latino....For example: Susana Baca, a singer, who is Peruvian of African descent brings cultural awareness of Black people in Peru to the world. She talks alot about their marginalization in Peru and it is endemic throughout South America, Central America and the Caribbean...She is a great singer and fabulous performer, I saw her performed in Central Park years ago and she bought down the house....
  2. Who is to s Who is to say that Cookie did not engage in Gay sex while she was in prison..She was in prison for 17 years. She could have been gay for the stay. Lots of people engage in homosexual relationships while in prison, but go back to heterosexual relationships, when they are free. Cookie could be one of those people who did that out of necessity and loneliness; and that is why she is so comfortable with her gay son... I am also happy that this show is making people have spirited discussions about homophobia, racism and mental illness. I think that is why this show has resonated with alot of people. People are talking and perhaps that will help people get a bit more understanding about what they do not know and what they fear....Taraji is awesome..I am so happy that she is getting a chance to shine..I remember people taking shots at her talent when she played Carter on person of interest. She has shown the world why she was once nominated for an Oscar..Person of interest's lost is our gain.. Brava Taraji!
  3. Yes, you are correct..I swear the Jonas family is a plague on the show..Don't forget that they also threw Stefanie under the bus for Melanie...They remind me of the Rappaport/Davidson family on one life to live..I loved Asa's contempt for them..He was channeling the audience in his vitriol against them...lol
  4. That is the problem..It does not matter if you don't like the characters, we the audience like them and you have to write accordingly....Familiarity breeds contempt..The more I learn about Ken Corday and company..The more I dislike them..Lucas should have been involved in the Nick Storyline....I hated the fact that Kate and Sami got bested by Nick..They should have crushed him like a bug....Even the fact that Nick tried to take Ari away from Will should have been enough for Lucas, Sami and Kate to dispose of him..Will has always been the apple of their eye..it was so out of character for them to allow Nick to get as close as he did to Arianna..Even Sonny was behaving out of character...he would not let anybody look at Will sideways without him going upside your head....
  5. Look at what they did to EJ and Sami.....They could have been a great dark power couple..Have we ever had a supercouple where both parties were anti-heros..That could have been good to see...Daytime used to be daring back in the day, that is what set them apart from other genres...I think James E. Reilly could have done them justice...
  6. That is why soaps are dying because they put their ego over the audience....Douglas Marland of As the world turns said you write for the audience and not for yourselves...You can have your vision without showing contempt for the audience..you dont bite the hand that feeds you..He did that with EJami, it was not supposed to catch on, but, it did and they should have built upon that..Instead, Corday demanded that they be trash in favor of Lumi..I liked Lumi and Ejami, but I would have enjoyed Ejami because the chemistry was on fire...Plus, it was the first man that liked Sami for who she was and EJ never once looked at Carrie the favored child...That was bonus points for me, even Lucas used Sami as a placeholder for her...I have always believed that had Carrie remained on the show, Corday would have had EJ fall for Carrie just to stick the knife in the EJami fans just for kicks...The man is sick in my opinion....Dan is loathed on here and on other boards, yet, he has been on the show for 7 years. I wonder do they know that he is universally reviled or do they not care..I will go with that latter....
  7. I agree, but, don't ruin them in the process....I am happy for the actors involved as well..Freddie and Guy had the most episodes for the month of February due to their storyline..I am very happy for Freddie because he was underused when Chandler was playing Will.. Every dog has his day and I am so happy that his day has come...
  8. What is the point of watching a soap opera, if you cannot get invested in a couple...It is supposed to be love in the afternoon..He has ruined every couple past and present in some way, shape or form...For example; Steve and Bo would have never stayed away from Hope and Kayla.....That is so wrong on so many levels... I agree. I think Corday was enjoying all of the accolades, awards and attention that they got with Will's coming out story and the magic of Wilson..They were the first gay male wedding in daytime and because of that they should have been treated with respect....I also think they could have waited to marry them by building the rapport and history with the second version of Wilson, to get the audience fall in love with them again. Their marriage seemed rush and a big Fuck you to Chandler...It was like they were telling him..see you can be easily be replaced..You are not that special.....We don't need you...
  9. I always felt that Will and Sonny should have had a lengthy discussion about his lack of dating experience after Will finally accepted his marriage proposal.We could have even had Sonny even express doubts about Will growing bored with their sexual life due to his inexperience with men.. That could have added layers to Will's infidelity story, if the writers wanted to do this storyline in the future. I think infidelity was the wrong way to go with Wilson because they were newlyweds, not too mention out of character for them.. I agree completely with your post..Their lack of imagination and talent reflects in their ratings...We could have written better stories for all the characters..I think Corday is what is keeping the show from being a success..I wish that the suits in charge would take creative control from him...
  10. Will would never have written an expose about his mother, grandmother and EJ. The people who helped him keep his daughter away from Nick. He would have never cheated on Sonny with a stranger putting Arianna's family in jeopardy. Will always wanted to be better than his parents. .That is how they changed the character..His characterization has gotten worst since Sparkle has come into the scene..
  11. I think even if Chandler was playing Will. Will would still be acting like an idiot..He was stupid enough to try and blackmail EJ and that blew up in his face. He became his lackey. He was stupid enough to get Gabi pregnant and tried to lie about it..That blew up in his face when Chad revealed the truth and he almost lost Sonny..He was stupid enough to talk in a public park to Lucas about Lucas covering up his attempted murder of EJ; thereby giving Nick the ammunition to blackmail him in order to steal his unborn daughter from him..He was going to walk away from his daughter if it was not for sami's insistence that he be a father to his own child. He let Rafe treat him with disrespect, when Rafe erroneously thought that he was pressuring Gabi to have an abortion; when that was never the case, he told her that he would respect her decision regarding her pregnancy. Will has not always been smart. He lacks the cunning and intelligence of his parents. I remember people used to complain about Chandler's Will being so passive and weak..People used to say that Sonny deserved better than him. The writing was much better for his Will than Guy's Will..They changed the character to fit their agenda of making Sparkle sympathetic and likable...I think it is bad to change a character after you recast a role. You are not going to help the recast win over the audience, who are already attached to the previous actor in the role...
  12. I agree with you on that..I think Freddie can make any pairing work..He is just that good and charismatic.I have liked him with everybody except for Sparkle.... I have to say that Arianna Grace was the MVP on Friday's episode..She is wonderful....I think that she will be a spitfire like her Grandmother Sami...The Udell twins work well with everybody in the cast...
  13. I was just saying that Sonny has always had the upper hand in his relationship with Will and that would not change even if they are separated and dating other people. I want Paul to get back together with Sonny, for him to realize that he is a placeholder for Will and Ari..I remember Sonny telling Will in happier times, that he has never loved anybody else like he loves him. Paulson would be a viable option, if Will and Ari left town and the show slowly rebuild Sonny and Paul.. They are no longer the same people that they were years ago... I will always be team Will because he is a legacy child and Lumi's child. One of my favorite couple on the show...Paul is a plot point and the show had no faith in this character, so they resorted to nasty tricks by destroying Will and Wilson, to make him and Paulson more palatable to the audience.. This kind of writing reminds me of what they did to Jack and Jennifer in favor of Dan the pervert and Jennifer..
  14. I doubt Will would allow Sparkle around Ari though. Unless Sonny insists that he wants him around her. Will usually ends up doing what Sonny wants him to do anyway. Even apart, I suspect that Sonny will still have the upper hand when it comes to Will. That is why I want the show to bring a guy for Will to see Sonny's reaction. He would not like that at all. I would not be surprised if the inept writers have Will use Ari against Sonny if he gets back together with Sparkle. They are already assassinating Will's character. Will is panicking and when he does, he usually does something stupid..I remember when he confessed to Nick's murder, when Sonny entered the room where he was talking to Hope; the first thing that Sonny said was; what did you do Will..He knows his husband. I wish that Sonny was not written as a Mary Sue, he would be a great foil for Chad...They need to bring on his brothers and Philip to the show...Sparkle should be a Dimera and he joins Chad, Cameron(who is secretly a Dimera) against the Kiriakis Brothers... We need new generations of Kiriakis and Dimeras on the show...Victor and Stefano are not always going to be around...
  15. These writers just don't know how to write...They make everybody unlikable. I want somebody to tell Will that he is behaving like Nick...Nick used blackmail to try to get what he wanted and he did not care about who he hurt in the process.Will was always the principal victim of his schemes. I have a feeling that Sonny will point that out to him when he finds out about his latest antics..What Will doesn't realize is that his schemes will backfire on him. He saw his mother's schemes blow up in her face time and time again...He should know better and just concentrate on repairing the damage that he has done to his marriage. I think Sparkle will go after Will, when he finds out about what he did to his mother....Enough is enough..Lucas should have told him that this is not the way to get his husband back..Will has been very selfish ever since he got that job at Sonix. Sonny should make him quit that job as one of his conditions of getting back together. That job has been nothing but trouble for Will and those around him....
  16. I wonder how Sonny is going to react when he finds out that Sparkle went to his house and met his daughter...He might not be too happy about that...I want Kate and Sparkle to clash..I think they would be good as adversaries...
  17. To be fair to Will, he has not really witnessed Lucas and Kate's dastardly deeds. He has mostly seen them coming from Sami. She has always been the town pariah due to her schemes against her own family. He has been shaped by his experiences..Even as a kid, he always favored Lucas over Sami...I am not saying that it is right, but I can understand his point of view...In his mind, Sami was always a disruptive force in his home life, plus he has had other people in his life who have told him that..Philip, Kate, Victor, Austin, Carrie, Marlena, Roman, Caroline, John, Belle, Kayla..e.t.c..Sami in her villainous period was a horrible person, let's not whitewash that...This is a woman that once tried to sell her own baby sister to the black market. If I was Belle, I would never speak to her in life. I find it laughable when People who hate Will try to say that he is like his mom...There is no comparison between them.
  18. You are probably correct. I could see Sonny coming back to reclaim his family and they try to work out their differences. Only for something to come down the line that will make Sonny leave Will for good. I have a feeling that it has to do with Will's time in LA and not necessarily Will's feeble attempt at being a badass. Even if they do reconcile, it is going to take Sonny a long time to really get over it. I would not be surprise if he is still cold and distant with Will at home. Will is going to have to account for his time, whenever he is away from Sonny because he no longer trusts him... The show is going to explore Paulson only for Paul and Sonny to realize that they no longer work as a couple..At least that is what I want; I wanted Lumi together and ken Corday ruined that dream....Then I wanted Ejami before the ugliness and he ruined that too...Ken Corday has made it impossible for any couple to be rootable on this show, he ruins them and pisses off their fans...He seems to be very contemptuous of the fans of the show. That is lunacy to me. I am sure he will ruin Paulson when he decides to put Wilson back together without any plausible buildup... I wish the show would take advantage of Bryan Dattilo's talent and give him a front burner story. He has earned it.. I have never understood why Bryan is marginalized by Ken Corday. I have my own theory about that. It is time that Lucas got a woman that only has eyes for him. Adrienne does not cut it for me. She looks too old for him. I loved him being a protective father and grandfather to Will and Ari....I want him to be mixing it up with Kate..I always loved their Mother/son dynamic..At the end of the day, it was always them against the world..I miss that quality about them....
  19. The blackmail was totally unnecessary. However, I don't think it is enough for Sonny to walk away from him. Unless, Will lies about it, then he is screwed...This is not the first time that Will has tried to blackmail somebody and for it to backfire on him...Will is acting out of emotion, he is not as calculating as his parents. So he will make dumb mistakes...The writers are really doing a disservice to Will. They are making him unsympathetic and dumb...I wonder do they have people on staff that report viewer feedback on storylines or is it Ken Corday who is directing them to do this.. He is truly a liabilty for the show... I wish that Lorraine Broderick who is on the writing staff had been promoted as headwriter, she did some awesome work on All My Children. She wrote the storyline where Erica Kane was addicted to drugs, she wrote that awesome speech where Erica high on drugs read the whole room for filth as she was receiving an award..I Still remember Erica saying Saint Maria of Wildwind tending to the sick in her push-up bra...lol Good times...lol
  20. Did Sonny ever ask Will if he used protection with Sparkle...He should have asked him that...Assuming that Will and Sonny were having sex before he found out about Will's betrayal...On another note, Will has a new nickname on another board that I frequent, they call him Willamantha...lol..I loved Ari's reacting to Will and Lucas scheming..If the show were to still be around in the future, she might take after her grandmother Sami, when she grows up..Plus she would be around Kiriakis' due to her Daddy Sonny..She might be a hellraiser...lol.. I don't see Sami's other children having a rough childhood like Will, assuming that EJ stays dead...
  21. Ken Corday needs to retire. I have no doubt he is behind the destruction of both Will and Wilson..He is truly an idiot...
  22. That is true..It was a wtf moment for me when Will wrote that article about Sami, recording his grandmother and EJ. It was so out of character for him...He was so heartless when he defended Abigail to Sami....I did not like how he acted like Sonny is supposed to always agree with him. Leaving Sonny all alone to go to LA, I never really understood that...What really pissed me off was when he told Sonny that he was bored with their life..I actually yelled at the tv, how could you say that to your husband who has been taking care of you, your daughter and your baby mama in his house....Sonny did not deserve such disrespect..I actually like Will, so I can understand why his haters want him to lose Sonny....
  23. The writing was much better for Will back then...Chandler gave him such a vulnerability and sadness, it makes sense that he would be with a guy like Sonny. Sonny grew up in a stable family home with loving parents and siblings. It is disheartening how this current writing regime have made Will so unlikable in their efforts to make Paul a better partner for Sonny.Will is getting shitted on like Jack....It is so unnecessary... I was hoping that Lucas would talk some sense to Will and get him to focus on Sonny and his reasons for betraying Sonny...Lucas has been cheated on, he should have been able to explain to Will, what it is like to be cheated on and the pain and humiliation that is associated with that...
  24. Freddie said in an interview that Sparkle will be instrumental in getting Wilson back together. I have a feeling that sparkle will back off after today and encourages Sonny to go back to his family. Sonny will listen to him and try to rebuild trust with his husband..Remember that Sparkle is supposed to be noble and Will the scum of the earth...Then he founds out about Will and Lucas blackmailing his mom...He will resolve to break up Wilson by digging up some dirt on Will, just like he did with his mother. He may find out something that leads him to believe that Will had been unfaithful to Sonny while he was out in LA. This may cause Sonny to divorce Will and go back to Sparkle....There has to be something big coming on the horizon that causes Wilson to break up...I don't think this blackmailing scheme is enough to piss off Sonny and push him into Sparkle's arms. Based on Pictures on the actors' tweeter, Wilson seem to be together when Ari turns 2 in May. There are pictures of her party at TBD. Plus, Wilson will acknowledge their anniversary this coming April.... I am not surprised that Will is going to do something stupid by trying to run Paul out of town. Look at his history for a moment; He shot EJ when he was threatening his parents' happiness. He tried to blackmail EJ over his affair with his mom. When Sonny kissed him when he was struggling with his sexuality, he ran to Gabi and had sex with her and that is Why Ari is here..When Nick was murdered, he confessed to protect Sonny. He always does something stupid when he is under pressure. He is his own worst enemy....On his own, he would truly be lost..It is not surprising that Sonny is the more dominant partner in their relationship....
  25. I also wanted old Will to have an affair with EJ. They had alot of chemistry together...That would have been scandalous, plus, it would have guaranteed that EJ and Sami would have never gotten back together...
