I was merely stating an opinion, the fact remains that they killed off Will, poor Paige got murdered, Sonny left the Country, Paul is left adrift with nothing to do except to occasionally tell John he is glad to be his son (see, I really DO watch the show) and now the storyline has acquiesced into close-ups of Caroline seeing these stupid visions, and everyone dressing up as 1960’s people for the town’s celebration.
For a while there, the show was being quite innovative, featuring gay people in prominent roles but of course, that didn’t last.
I also said that I think that Kate Mansi as Abigail is excellent, which if you watch her movements and listen to the way she reads her lines, you would agree, it hardly seems like she is acting. I also said that the young actor who plays the now twisted Ben has shown more dramatic range than perhaps originally anticipated.
These are my opinions dear and if YOU don’t like them why don’t YOU go and take a nap…..

Kate M. Is not even close to looking hispanic. Perhaps Mediterranean, but not hispanic. Her facial features belie your statement; and that’s a fact. Hispanics are indigenous people with a dash of Spanish descent….not even true Spaniards, from Spain.
If you research THE RACES OF MAN, it will be loud and clear. Perhaps, dev, you may have taken ANTHROPOLOGY (see also physical and cultural Anthropologies) in College or graduate school?

thank you daviestev1, for some common sense. Can’t believe the way some people are calling DAYS “homophobic and bigoted” these days. Really?! How soon they forget! DAYS has had more gay characters in front-burner stories than any other soap EVER has had at one time. But now that they’ve been relegated to the back-burner so some other characters can have a chance, now they are haters. Well, Y&R has NEVER had a gay character, certainly not one with a major storyline. GH’s gay characters are seen maybe 4 times a year. DAYS did a lot for gay people. Now it’s the 50th and long-time viewers want to see their faves in meaningful storylines. Why begrudge us that? It’s only temporary, I’m sure. I have a favorite character who hasn’t been on the show in years! But I still watch because I’m a fan of the WHOLE show and its history. That’s what the 50th is all about right now. Gay stories are a very small part of the overall history of the show.

Yes, I agree, the young actor who plays Chad also delivers a good performance with a sustained consistency. No, he doesn’t have the
male catalogue flawless look (which is usually boring anyway) but he
proves that acting ability is what’s really important.
I do enjoy Victor’s quick wit as depicted by Mr. Aniston and his delivery of those lines is always piercing with dry humor.
On a negative note, I often find the scenes between Marlena and John to be a little lackluster at times but again, that
is only my humble opinion. I also do wish they would “get on” with this storyline about Aiden loving Hope but he has to kill her, how many times do we have to see him “imagining” to kill her, it’s a storyline that I could do without.

As for Ben and the actor it was one note and perfect for crazy with that set jaw and crazy eyes..he was a good menacing…i’ll give him that at least…but don’t they always bring it with the crazy? Even the worst actors come to life handed that role…LOL

@davlestev1.
Oh, dav, I do champion your expressive ‘ecriture’. I do admire your style. No doubt about ‘reading’ your heart. However, sometimes that insidious imp that is arrogance rises its ugly head, here and there throughout your beautifully written comment. I consider ‘CHEEKY’ and calling Tim Welles, Dawn Welles quite irreverent and cocky; if not offensive.
I have been on these boards for over a year now, and, I do believe we have been here before. Most of the time the banter is tame; but others such times as now, you make cutting remarks with sharp, little razors. Get my drift? We can all say so much, and make a point with a little more tact, as not disrespect our fellow posters. Perhaps, that, dav, is not your intention; nonetheless, that’s how I see it. And, I am almost sure, I am not the only one. You may mean it as light, jovial sarcasm, but it is not always received that way. Just sayin’. Have a good night.

I wasn’t crazy about the 8 Dollar wig that Adrienne (sp?) had on but I know it was a costume party.
I also don’t know where they found those Red drapes that passed for a dress on Caroline but you know, it was a dress up event.
I also can’t quite figure out where they now intend to go with the character of Eve – is she really going to get into it with Jordan – it doesn’t seem that Eve has any direction with Paige gone, she’s no longer fighting with Jennifer and there’s no sense in her hating JJ so what does she do in the town of Salem, how many times can she walk through Fake Leaf Park or stop at the Square for coffee?

Oh gawd – worst wig ever goes to Adrienne!

You’re so right, Mo. Beautiful dress. Not for fall……should have worn no veil. On its own the dress was enough. A veil on a 50-year old, and not her first marriage is tacky. Just my opinion.
I loved all their clothes. Caroline? Who dressed her? She looked like a meadow in bloom.

Caroline’s outfit was hideous. And then at the end she just pulled it on over her hospital gown. LOL

The wigs need to be retired. They were not flattering at all. At least Hope didn’t wear that wig when she married.

At first I was like, “Wow hair and wardrobe sure hate Judi Evans (Adrienne). She looks ancient.” Then I realized it was due to the throwback costumes. But seriously, they did her no favors. They aged her at least 20 years in that hair and wardrobe. Kate and many others proved that the throwback thing could be fun and flattering.

I also want to comment on Kate Mansi and Robert Scott Wilson. They have really improved and are bringing their A Game to this storyline. I’ve been a little hard on them and their acting skills in the past so its only fair I comment on the positive. I hope it elevates them and inspires them to spread their wings career wise.

IKR? Poor Caroline. Loved that classic Carol Burnett though. Lol.
