Wowzer March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 (edited) I agree with you, jsm1125. Melanie has a good heart and would help someone she loathes. I kind of liked her when she started looking into Clint's background because she did seem to be concerned about Theresa. I've been turned off since Melanie wouldn't explain why she was looking into Clint and Mandrake and keeps accusing Theresa of faking the pregnancy. Also, she's too cutesy in the majority of her scenes. The only time I've liked Melanie this go around is in her detective mode scenes with Nicole.

2222222222222222 March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 I hate the Horton family (save lucas). Always will. None of them are likable (I count CIara as a Brady). I also hate the Jonas family (I hate Melanie more than Daniel, and that's only a little more than I hate Maggie in Jonas mode). I hate those families like I hate the fiery pits of hell. The Kiriakis family is my favorite family. There's not a real Kiriakis (excludes you Maggie) that I don't love- Vic, Philip, Brady, Justin, Adrienne, Sonny- best family on DOOL. Bradys are my second favorites (excluding you, Will. no soup for you! And Carrie, the olympic cheater). Sami and Stephanie were my favorites. Also, Belle and Shawn bored me to tears. There. I said it. Don't ever bring them back. I have like no opinion at all on Dimeras. Until EJ came, I didn't care at all that they were on the show, couldn't care less about the Bradys vs. the Dimeras. I like Theo, was indifferent to Lexie, crushed on EJ, indifferent to Chad, roll my eyes at Stefano. I just don't care what happens to them. OOOhhhh, except little Johnny! I like him! Current storylines: 1. Die, Melanie. Please. 2. Die, Serena. Please. 3. Sonny, go back to Paul. Please. 4. Will just..... I can't wish death on Lumily so do me a favor and just go away, kay? Seek help and maybe find love somewhere else. 5. JJ is trash. There. I said it. I didn't think one could be worse than Will, but I stand corrected. 6. Nick was amazing and Nick and Chelsea forever, doggone it! 7. Probably the most controversial..... I prefer Guy's Will to Chandler's Will. I always wanted to punch Chandler's Will's smirking face. There. I said it. 8. Paul is the most beautiful thing to happen to DOOL since Sonny. 9. I am so against Wilson at this point that Paul could say he brainwashed Will and I still would be anti Wilson. #freesonny 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-963772
QuelleC March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 I hate Dark Roast, even a shaved one, as much as the next person (Chelsea and Kate around the dinner table at Vic's, groping Chloe) but he's right that Harpy Jenn has no clue what she's about to explode. No, he shouldn't be inserting himself and manhandling women AT ALL but what Jenn is doing is really, really stupid. I can only hope it will end in an epic blowout. Thank dog for CM. If they'd have a GW type in that role how detestable would that story be. Those kids should have run off to Stanford months ago. Mommies would give their honeys lots of money regardless. Speaking of honeys, if I insisted on pet names for my adult child he would either have said WTF you haven't called me honey since I was 3. Or, STFU you've been calling me honey since I was 3. More unpopular is that Sparkle was right, he did pressure, threaten and seduce young-ish dumb Will. I'm not sure what his angle is in admitting it but I'm sure there is one. Maybe just in getting Jackson alone so a snorting Will could show up. Funny how everyone ditched TBD today. As someone who cleans cap and espresso machines lmfao. T is the gift that gives and gives. Give me some, T. I don't mind the Aussie guy either if he sweeps Nicky off her feet. Jackson can't adopt Ari or scoop her away to CA. She has two living parents on her birth certificate, neither of whom would ever sign away their parental rights. He's been a better parent until the club started taking more time but the adoption thing is just silly. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-975781

There was no seducing or manipulation, in terms of getting someone into bed, in the storyline. I liked that when Jen found out JJ placed equal responsibility on his shoulders. I think as time goes on he's placing more blame on Eve since he has Paige back. What I don't understand is Jennifer continually threatening Eve about the affair. It's mutually assured destruction - JJ and Eve both lose if the secret gets out. It doesn't really work for Jen's plan for JJ and Paige to tell. If Paige and JJ broke it off naturally, would Jennifer then tell Paige to hurt Eve?

Most mothers wouldn't be too thrilled her any of her kids getting that serious that young, nor would they give those emotions the weight you'd give to adults involved with each other. Jenn is more than slightly looney, and mean as a rattlesnake under her Mary Kay persona. She's been a bit of a nutjob with Eve ever since she showed back up in town. Jenn could have taken the high road - you know, the one she's always excoriating everyone else for NOT taking - but instead she is, as you say, obsessed with this feud. JJ sleeping with Eve just added fuel to her crazy fire. As for what Jenn's inner voice tells her, I devoutly wish it would tell her to go stick her head in the toilet and flush repeatedly.

The whole Chad is an evil Dimera thing is ridiculous. He is at the children's table of the Dimera family and has only really known he was one for 4ish years. Abigail and her scheming to trick Austin and get EJ into bed has more Dimera qualities than him. I liked Melanie today and Friday, I realized that she is threatened by Theresa even though she knows that Brady is dedicated to her. I just wish Melanie would tell someone, Maggie, Victor, Nicole, Hope or Brady, that Theresa also had her blood drawn or that she saw Clint with the vials of blood. She let him get away. I don't think Theresa even knows she had blood drawn. Theresa was out of it so I can see why Melanie would think that she was drunk rather than drugged by Clint.

I totally agree. While I am not familiar with Kassie's previous work, I believe the actress is capable of more than what they have given her. On the character of Eve's worse day, she would not stoop as low as to nail her daughter's boyfriend. There could be several possibilities for the character of Eve as you mentioned above. Since her singing career is over, why not have her move into the corporate world in some way? Kate needs a strong female adversary.

I just don't know why the writers have done what they did with her character. Why give her a baby? With Brady of all people Why? What was and is the point? Is she supposed to have some sort of ephipany upon seeing it? Is Brady going to propose marriage so as to raise it in a 2 parent home (barf)? Is Brady gonna cut Theresa completely out of the child's life? Are they gonna genuinely fall in love? Will they both just grow up and decide to co-parent? Will John/Marlena or Victor/Maggie decide they are both incompetent dumb ass crack head asses and seek custody? With the exception of the last option, it all sounds equally horrible.

I guess it is nice to keep the tradition and celebrate the actors (and there are categories outside of soaps) but ugh seeing Corday on stage with a trophy in his hands makes me feel that Daytime Emmy wins for soaps don't mean shit nowadays! Outside of actor wins (congrats Freddie) Days winning anything for writing or best soap is some old bullshit. The one and only reason that Days gets any of the bigger awards is because there are only 4 soaps left on the air. Days isn't a better soap than it was a mere 2,3 or even 4 years ago. It just has less competition. Odds are just better. It is like a two legged man running in the para-olympics, of course Days is bound to win something. If the landscape were the same as it was 10-20 years ago, Days would be completely locked out! Days and Y&R tied for Best soap. I don't watch any other soap, but damn how the hell half the shows on the air qualify as outstanding drama series. Just sounds stupid to type it. GH and B&B must be eye bleedingly bad.

The thing is I was off that day and definitely would have watched had it been aired on network tv. OTOH I remember years and years (and years) of Days getting skunked because it was always GH or whoever paid the most money. Or whatever it takes. ETA Oops I didn't realise I was in Unpopular Opinions but since I'm here... I hate Bo. I'm glad he's gone. I don't know how I'm going to tolerate him on screen again. And I remember the days with teenaged Hope on the back of his bike with Doug running behind trying to stop it. Now I'm hearing his annoying voice in my head. And I see that stupid beard he uses to hide his strange mouth. He was always so...bored or something and I couldn't stand how he would let women casually move in and out of his house. Like he would sigh and remind himself he was put on earth to rescue the wimminfolk. Especially when I saw Hope feel guilty as hell for six months over whether to date Aiden. Can't soap see how much more attractive a happy Hope is? Edited May 4, 2015 by QuelleC 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1106612
islandgal140 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I hate the nickname Fancy Face. I am not all that excited about all the vet returns. I think it is good for a short storyline in honor of Days 50th but any longer and I fear it will be disastrous and only serve to ruin my former warm feelings for them. I feel that damn near ever vet return has been poorly executed and written for the last decade or so. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1107142
Rick Kitchen May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Days and Y&R tied for Best soap. I don't watch any other soap, but damn how the hell half the shows on the air qualify as outstanding drama series. Just sounds stupid to type it. GH and B&B must be eye bleedingly bad. Oddly, B&B won for best writing and best directing, but not for best show. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1107228
shesajar May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I'm torn between being excited and fearful about the vets returning, but excitement is winning right now. I'm just that desperate. RE: Fancy Face. One of the few times I made my husband sit through the show with me, he misheard it as Fancy Feast. To this day, Hope is Fancy Feast to me. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1107261
Petunia13 May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 I can't speak for B&B, but I think Days is better than GH and Y&R, which isn't really saying much. B&B is actually good right now and had been for months. A viewer has to adjust cuz it's completely different than the other 3 soaps. It's a half hour and minus commercials and exterior shots about 17 minutes an episode. The budget is amazingly bigger than any other soap. Like 10x their size. A lot less characters and its much more fluffy. Less dark than any soap on but still has drama. Bit more jokes. It's been the #1 soap in the world for many years. It's maybe closest to Days and I'm not sure why I think so.

tribeca May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 Although I come from a family of CBS girls none of us could get into B&B. What I liked about GL & ATWT was the long friendships (even when they took breaks). JMHO Days is really missing that. It was really made evident with the nice scene of Hope/Rafe than scenes of Nicole having no one but herself to talk to. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1113865
Apprentice79 May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 I would love Nicole to bond with Wilson individually and as a couple..I want Theresa to be close to Sami, Stefanie, Will and Paul...I want JJ to be close to Joey and Joseph Kiriakis.. Victor Jr and Paul to be close...Chad and Alex to be close as well as Wilson..Friendships are missing from the show.... 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1114253

JMHO Days is really missing that. It was really made evident with the nice scene of Hope/Rafe than scenes of Nicole having no one but herself to talk to. Agreed as another CBS girl. The friendships and long-time relationships made even plot-driven things richer. I knew the ATWT and GL characters better than some members of my own family. That's what kept me invested. I'm relatively new to Days but even I can see that such things may have been important in the past -- but aren't now. PS: Please someone give Nicole a friend. It would benefit everyone. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1114876
slayer2 May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 See, I think Guy Wilson sucks. I don't think he can act, and his skin looks kind of...slimy? I would take Chandler back in a heartbeat. He'd make a good live action Chucky doll. *shudder Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2828-unpopular-opinions/page/8/#findComment-1126988
