islandgal140 February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 This week's in Depth Oh for fuck's sake! This better not be another love interest for Brady. I've had enough of Brady revolving door love life. He is rivaling Dan, with the exception that Brady claims to be in 'love' with all his ladies. He has had more love interests than his character deserves. 5 Link to comment
swtrgrl February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 She's pretty. Who's she supposed to be? She's too young to be Mama Hernandez. Another Hernandi spawn? Link to comment
islandgal140 February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 (edited) I think she is Rafe's sister. I've heard rumors of the show toying (or threatening) with the expansion of the Hernandez family since Rafe was 1st introduced, now it looks like they went ahead and did it. I don't mind Gabby. Not all that interested in her, but I don't mind her and her pretty, pretty hair. A Martinez is coasting on the fumes of my general affection for him, but can't say that he or his Mennonite facial hair are lighting my world on fire. I'm not excited or that interested in a possible Freddie return. I always found his acting very flat and his delivery monotone (nuCiara is a baby Freddie to me), but I never disliked him or anything. Just never understood the big whoop over him. Typical, MMV I guess. Nerium must not be selling well. Frankly, if the idea behind this is just to put him with Paul, double boo. I wish they would bring in some new blood. I would love, love love if the show brought in a gay powerful, rich, business tycon baddie or better yet gray character. Along the lines of an old school EJ before they messed him up. The show suffers from making their gay characters one dimensional and boring so I would love a gay power broker (which has never been done in soaps as far as I know) with some less than stellar morals. I thought Sparkles initial intro was decent and the constant is he good/bad; honest/lying; earnest/manipulative was great and made for some interesting discussions on here. Then they made him so sweet that the mere sight of him could put you in a diabetic coma and I was so over him. Edited February 9, 2016 by islandgal140 5 Link to comment

BlackMamba February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if she is a sister to Gabi, Dario and Rafe. One of the first episodes Eduardo was on the dialogue claimed he had several children. She is gorgeous though. 1 Link to comment

Okay, thank you. 2. I completely agree (sorry, Isa...more for you, my friend). 3. Someone like Reid from GL...not an asshole like that but a businessman who is gay...can track in the Dimera/Kiriakis world and/or Basic Black, etc.... They're all in fashion and when Will came out everyone thought Lucas had never met a gay guy before. Really? He's in publishing and his mother ran several successful fashion mags, etc... That never rang true for me. 3 Link to comment
Apprentice79 February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 Sonny could have been that way..He is a Johnson/Kiriakis and he should be a grey character and not so saintly...He should have gone dark, when Will's affair with Paul was revealed...Sonny scheming against Paul and Will would have been a thing of beauty. He could have been convinced that Paul set out to seduce Will to get back at him. Justin went dark for a bit, after he found out that Adrienne was having an affair with Emilio.. I remember Justin had a beard to signify that he had embraced his Kiriakis roots... 3 Link to comment

I mean seriously, if they can't tell if something they wrote isn't working or a new hire can't act for shit/has zero chemistry with the cast based on the dailys they ought to be viewing on a semi-regular basis, they have no business being writers. Looking at you Higleyl. Don't get me wrong, the writers should be penning stories audiences want to watch and ratings are an important gauge to find out what is or isn't working but I fear the very real possibility of the audience co-writing story, fanbase wars, etc. I just don't like when writers cater or kiss fans ass without regard to character development or history. We already have the show disregarding history but shorter time between filming and air may make it worse. YMMV. Edited February 9, 2016 by islandgal140 1 Link to comment

We already have the show disregarding history but shorter time between filming and air may make it worse. YMMV.Something is going on at that set the producers and writers aren't seeing eye to eye on. Because several spoilers were reported about what would be aired and never got aired on tv. -Jason Cook's Shawn-D going off on Belle at the Brady Pub didnt air. -Nicole going off on Jennifer didn't air. -Rafe and Hope were suppose to kiss a few weeks ago and it didn't air. An article I posted from About.com a few weeks claimed the show wanted "respect the Bope memory a bit longer before they transaction Hope into a new romance." And this is coming from the show that films 6 months ahead of schedule. If and when the new production model comes into play and when they hopefully reach a deal, we probably won't see the new production model until the end of the year or they might reshoot somethings to tweak certain storylines.

DisneyBoy February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 Am I crazy or is the issue more about the quality of the writing then the filming schedule? I think it's perfectly reasonable to want to film closer to the air date, but if you have capable people steering the stories then it shouldn't really be making any difference... The real problem is, and has been for quite a while, the writing. They just don't take the temperature of their audience very well or write to the strength of the performers. A character like Lucas for example has shown himself to be very viable who can portray a wide range of emotions, but he's consistently absent from the show or mired down in a plot that doesn't make much sense, aka the romance with Adrienne. And then they take a character like Abigail, who can't cry or emote if her life depended on it, and make her the victim of a serial killer and expect her to be able to pull that off. Ideally, they should do the opposite and keep Abigail in more lightweight upbeat romantic stories, while putting Lucas in more dramatic meaty plots. They should also make sure that the writers aren't recycling old stories or just playing to their favorites, but that should go without saying. I'm just fed up of viewers like us having better ideas for how to motivate certain plot points by using existing character histories which the writers seem to forget about on a regular basis, aka the Aiden plot motivating Hope's murder of Stefano. 8 Link to comment

Considering how many interesting grey characters this show used to have, they sure have lost the ability to write them now.

TIIC have made Stephen Nichols unwatchable, which is no easy feat. If it weren't for Vincent Irizarry, I'd be long gone. Sad. I'm keeping up with the show via you guys for the same reason. I came back for the 59th Anniversary, Bo's return and the return of Steve and have been disappointed on all three counts. This says nothing of the pointless Abbyprop serial killer thing, the ruination of Eric, the disgraceful treatment of JM as Stefano, the never-ending Taniel prop, etc, etc. At this point, I just want Kayla to permanently kick Steve out of her life and ship her nitwit of a son off as she planned to before Steve interfered. I am waiting for the current Steve and Kayla storyline to be over so I can start rewatching for VI. Steve and Kayla have been ruined for me and I'm over him and his involvement damaging and emotionally abusive presence in Kayla's life. All these years later and I still haven't gotten my love for Jennifer back after what she did to Jack during the initial stage of the Taniel prop. Some damage just can't be undone. Steve and Kayla were my all-time favorite and now the thought of Kayla being saddled with Steve is too much, but I know the show will never allow her to exist outside of Steve's orbit and find a man who is actually worthy of her. 5 Link to comment

Ana had hers up recently but she just got warning #2 so they'll be deleted soon. Sony/Days really does not want us to relive better days.

They could put money into the show that way too. Think if Meng, Corday and Sony actually thought of "Hmm, let's do a supercouple box set of Jarlena, Bope, Stayla, Ejami, J&J etc" and "The greatest heroines, bitches, storylines and adventures box sets" Bold and the Beautiful right now has the first season of it's best episodes on DVD on Amazon!

I wouldn't have a problem with the teens if they were half way decent actors. God knows the last blast crew were not excellent actors in their first few years and they ate the show under Tom Langan but at least they were entertaining. This girl who plays Ciara still isnt working for me. She's slightly getting better but I just hold high expectations since the character was birthed by Bo/Hope and right now the character isn't what I envisioned from Little Ciara which who was more like her mother than teen Ciara. The only thing that teen Ciara has is anything like her mother is she looks like her. The only ones that seems to have potential are Joey and Theo. Chase is getting better. Claire could be recasted too. I still don't like the teens had to be ultimately be thrusted front and center and teens who watch the show arent home. The show could had waited til mid spring and start of summer to give them a storyline. Edited February 12, 2016 by BlackMamba 3 Link to comment

There was a lot of vagueness, and speculation, then someone new signed up and posted a spoiler, which the mods have not deleted. It's pretty horrible, if it is true: Chase rapes Ciara.

LeftPhalange February 12, 2016 Share February 12, 2016 UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Of course these idiot writers would go there. Aiden was *bad* so of course Chase has to follow in his footsteps. I guess we'll be hearing "He's just like his father!!!!!" ala Will and Sami. I really liked how Hope never had any hesitation about taking Chase in and raising him like one of her own despite what happened with Aiden. Now Hope is going to regret letting either one of them into her and Ciara's life. Why is this show obsessed with rape and sexual coercion? 7 Link to comment
