DAYS is delivering daring and dangerous daytime drama!!!!!

All days knows how to do is kill off fan favorites. I may exit the show again; came back for Peter but nothing is keeping me interested except a bunch of recasts and poor acting (teens!). I dont get the brady/theresa thing either. Her voice is grating!!

Daniel is killed, it’s believed that Jennifer killed him but it was a drunk Eric all along.

Days has become such a dark and sad show with all these deaths..I thought with the 50 anniversary and new writing regime it will get better but it’s worse for wear..I am just glancing and fast forwarding..so depressing to see the show..No comedy relief, no romance and no interactions between characters that have chemistry with each other!

I don’t know who it is.

This show is misery on top of misery and boring.

I think DOOL needs to slow the pacing down. It seems the most interesting stories happen and then there is not an emotional fallout that follows (Bo’s death being an exception).

I am still frustrated that Ben left the show so quickly after Abby was rescued. It would have been interesting to see his character realize the mistakes he had made, have more of a meltdown, be shipped off to a sanitarium, etc.

It was not evident that Kate or Marlena had just lost their grandson two months before during the Christmas episodes. Marlena is consumed with John’s past (again?) and Kate continues to make yet another mistake with a man that deserted not one, but two families. Did she not learn anything from her relationship with Clyde?

I know the show tapes six months in advance, but I hope we do not EVER have to endure another period like the elephant statue storyline again. When something isn’t working, don’t force it on the audience. So far, the youth storylines are painful to watch. It seems Ciera is the only one of the characters that has had more than 5-6 lines per episode. Joey and Chase look like they are bored and brooding all of the time. Theo has not had enough lines for us to even have an opinion. Claire might grow on us, but if saddled with the aforementioned newbies, it might spell doom. Lastly, we would care more about Belle if the actress smiled more. She looks mad and angry all the time. We remember Belle and Shawn as a sweet couple, not at all what Martha Madison is portraying. Hopefully, that will change when Shawn gets back to Salem.

It appears that Daniel will die this week on the show. If Shawn Christian would have been on the show more in the past three months, the audience might care more. Now, it seems like he has already left the show. Since another character is being killed off, let Maggie hit the bottle again (although it appears Eric will be doing the same) and let a character’s death mean something more than a week of grieving and then on to the next storyline.

Speaking of Daniel, it is hard to be invested in a storyline when you know the actors are leaving the show. Every time Nicole and Daniel are on, I usually fast forward through it. Same with Eve.

The reveal of Abigail’s baby paternity seems very rushed. Where is the long-term fallout and wait? Let Abby and Ben have some happiness and then let them discover that Thomas is Chad’s (although I think it could be EJ’s).

Steve and Kayla are the very best of Days! Need more of them not these very short scenes in between the less than interesting!

Why can’t anyone be happy? Have some couples stay together & like someone said don’t kill him off put him in another hospital to work.. I have been watching since I was 6 .Just have some people stay together!!!!

Words no contented soap actor wants to see in their script ” Life is perfect” or ” I have never been this happy”. Before the age of spoilers these words were a sure sign your character was about to meet their Maker. And sure enough on Dec 31 episode Daniel said words like that to Brady while in the car– had to laugh even if I knew didn’t know this was coming, I would have known by those words alone Daniel was going to die in that crash.

I can’t say I will miss the character. He hasn’t been on for a while and I hardly noticed, but still not looking forward to another round of grieving, another funeral in fake leaf park and poor Nicole getting her heart broken once again.

Dark DAYS is a hit with me. I love these dark stories. Romance is mush. The show is going to wind down over the next 9 months more than likely, so I’d rather see the dark drama while it’s on air vs some crappy romance.
