Days of Our Lives

Horribly Written Piece of Trash!

It's plain and simple: NBC doesn't know how to run a soap. Unlike CBS and ABC, NBC uses cheap, stupid gimmicks to lure viewers into this one hellish excuse for a soap. The acting is lame and choppy, the storylines are pitiful, the sets and overall "behind the scenes" quality is worth laughing at. This show also replaces their quality veteran actors and characters with stupid "teen-bopper" characters/actors that can't act their way out of a paper bag. Not to mention their storylines are outrageous and fake. Some of their storylines include: A main character getting possessed by Satan, Some characters being brainwashed and having chips inplanted into their brain, and a "virtual reality" storyline that has two characters entering a room in a castle that takes them to "The Garden of Eden." Pathethic. Turn to ABC's "All My Children" that has realistic, three dimensional characters, compelling drama and storylines and is aware of social issues. It's official: Days, which used to be a great drama in the 80's, is now dead story wise.
