I think the story idea was good, and some of the dialogue the past weeks was good as well. WE have really good actors on the show..........but the problem is repetition of dialogue, and dragging out story. Makes no difference what story. That said.....Days has a super abundance of wonderful veteran actors, but for some reason, forces story onto young, unseasoned newcomers. That is not the way to bring them on to become favs to the viewers.
Once upon a time, Jennifer, Hope, were teens, Marlena, John, Roman, Abe were in their 20s. Yes, some were good actors right from the get-go. Some just improved with age, thus their storylines held your interest. But, not all. Lots of complaints in the past over various stories/scenes. But then, we all react differently, don't we.
I absolutely HATED the possession story, almost gave Days up because of it. But there were other stories going on, as well. That story is one of Deidre Hall's (Marlena) favorites, if not THE fav. LOL There was the awful G of E story (and I won't even spell it out, ) the plane crash on the very forested Greenland or Iceland, Billie giving birth to a stillborn in the Georgia backwoods, burying the baby, having the coffin sent to Salem to be buried again, and lookee here, Chelsea is alive and well. Rolling eyes everywhere. I truly hated that one, and of course, Maggie & her egg baby.
So.....guess some stories look good when thought up, when outlined.........but, not all that good by the time they reach the airwaves.
