Such a stupid story

Most of the DOOL stories are beyond stupid lately. The possession story is ridiculous and I still can't watch any episode that I know Ben or Ciara is in. I hate them. If I put on an episode with them by mistake, I just FF all of their scenes. I have absolutely no idea what's going on with those two.

And the sad thing is, it’s probably still about 20 times better than what’s Y&R.

Sad, but true. The stories on DOOL are ridiculous but they are more entertaining than the stories on Y&R. Y&R does have the advantage of better acting, though.

TVLegend, have you been watching Abigail's murder?

[TVLegend]

And to answer your question, Wawwie, I haven’t been watching Abigail’s murder. In fact, I have been watching much at all since the move to Peacock. Can you fill me in on what’s been going on on DAYS too? If you don’t mind, that is.

I quit watching Days since the move to Peacock so I have no idea what's been going on.

Okay, well that makes two of us. I don’t have Peacock and I’m not about to pay for it for 1 over-the-top and zany show anyways. What I don’t get is why would they move it to Peacock because there are some elderly people (like my mother) who have been longtime viewers yet don’t know a thing about that. Why couldn’t they at least move it to a cable network like OWN or TV Land or a less popular network like FOX or The CW?

I know, right. I've been watching Days since I was a teenager (mid-late 1980's) but there is no way I'm paying to see what has become a ridiculous soap opera. If it was still free, I'd still watch, but it's not, so goodbye DOOL.

The crazy thing is the ratings are great for DAYS on Peacock yet thousands and thousands of former viewers who are senior citizens don’t have a cellphone or iPad or Smart TV fro watch. It makes no literal sense and I don’t get how they’re not losing at least almost a million viewers.

Speaking of, I’m kinda curious: Have you ever created your own soap opera? Not an actual one that airs on TV or on streaming, but have you ever thought that you could do a better soap opera than the people out today and ended up coming up with one in your head or something along the lines of that? I’ve created millions in my head, I was quite a creative young man.

Was? You are still very creative and quite a gifted writer. I enjoy your work. I think you have a brilliant mind for writing stories. Example: my favories are Livin' the Life, Fallon Family Funeral and Was My Marriage A Mistake? I got very invested in the characters and very engrossed in the stories.
I never wrote any soap opera stories. I don't have the gift like you.

Thank you. I don’t think my work is good enough to be in theaters or seen on TV but it’s decent.

I think your work is above average. You could definitely write sitcoms like Livin' the Life. That one you wrote is a hell of a lot better than most of the sitcoms that are on nowadays. That's my opinion for what it's worth.
