Open thoughts from the Rhino
Why are they so stupid?
Published on July 7, 2004 By Red Rhino In Movies & TV & Books
Today while I was on the computer a soap was playing on tv in the background. I watch it for about 2 minutes and I this is what I see. A woman is stuck in a crack in the ground (or something). She must have recently fell down it. Then a guy is leaning on his stomach above the cliff talking to her, and this conversation takes place (as best as I can remember it).

Woman (looking up), "I can't believe I found you. You were dead and I found you!"
Guy, "But I'm alive, and you did!"
Woman, "But I saw you in the coma. I saw the doctors pull the plug. I saw you die! Your organs were donated, we burried you, I was at your funeral!"
Guy, "I know, its hard to explain!"

I about fell out of my chair laughing. I was thinking "Yeah, thats going to be one hell of an explanation."

i just watched that!! its Jack and Jen off Days of Our Lives... I'm so friggin pathetic!

See, Jack was "killed" but only technically, i don't know how to explain it (it is kinda stupid) but he was put on this Island, along with Roman, Abe, Maggie, Mrs. Horten, Marlayna (Spelling??), and that other guy, um, can't think of his name.. um.. anyways.. So. yeah, soap operas are kind stupid...

....I see I'm not the only DOOL fan.....yes, it's sad but true.....ten people were "killed" but they aren't really dead, even though everyone in their hometown thinks they are.....and they are all trying to find a way to get back home....and some other folks were gaslighting the pregnant woman to make her think her husband was alive....then they kidnapped her, and their plane crashed....right on the island where all the "dead" people are being held captive.....

So, are you TOTALLY lost and confused yet? ROFL

I love DOOL - but I'm like 6 years behind - currently Nicole is married to Lucas, Eric has just started a relationship with Greta, Hope is in someone's farmhouse with Kurt who tells her they're married and Princess Gina is in Salem pretending to be Hope.
Austin and Carrie are getting divorced - Mike just came back from Africa.

Oh, lucky you...you're back in the days when plots still made SENSE!

You people have made me grateful that I can't get to a TV at noon everyday. (Haven't watched days since... I guess around the time trina_p did. Don't think it was 6 years ago, tho. Wait. I watched it some while I was on nights 1 1/2 years ago? So, the evil twins were there, and then they found out they were Marlena's, right?)

I like watching just bits and peices of the soaps between commercials of other shows. Different soaps too. Then intermingling the independant plots to make one big super soap in my head. Good stuff.

Except they turned out not to be evil, and they turned out not to be Marlena's, either..... Marlena was the surrogate mother, but their biological parents were Kate and Roman.....

I was pretty sure they were still evil... isn't the guy with that one girl, but plotting to get Belle? And then the girl was a conniving twit? Okay, maybe not EVIL evil, but still.

Didn't know about Marlena. Did she turn out to be possessed again (with the murdering and all)?

What the??? Kate & Roman had children? Marlena was the surrogate? Oh I'm so confused

Oh, lucky you...you're back in the days when plots still made SENSE!


oh I wouldn't say that - the princess gina storyline is pretty twisted

and what about when Marlena was posessed by the devil a few years ago.

and Belle suddenly being 6 one week at john & marlena's wedding and 16 when they get back from their honeymoon - Some honeymoon (but bold & the beautiful did the same thing with Rick & CJ & Bridget)

Rex is with Mimi...his half brother, Philip, is trying to get Belle. Cassie is supposedly dead, but is somewhere on the island with all the other "dead" people. And no, Marlena wasn't possessed...she didn't actually kill anyone, everyone (including her) just thought she did....that won't all play out until the end of NEXT year according to the writers.....

and what about when Marlena was posessed by the devil a few years ago.


OH man....until this storyline, that was my least favorite....it was just TOO weird....

And yeah, the whole aging of characters is crazy, on all the soaps....kids go off to camp and come back ten years older--and nobody seems to notice!!

Meh. The Exorcist rip was when I first started watching, back in college. John was a priest... it was a riot.

I was watching Days the other day... Shouldn't Abby be older than Belle?? Cause the last time i watched it, Abby was around, but Belle wasn't even born, and now Abby is only 12 or 13, and Belle is in college.. . what the hell??

I think as a child on a soap, you age only if your current storyline isn't progressing. And you only age when they send you off to boarding school, and then you come back 10 years older.

Well, you made me go look it up.......Shawn-Douglas was born in 1987, so he should have been 17 in April. Brady was born in May, 1992, and Abigail in October, 1992, so they should be 12 this year. Belle was born in October, 1993, making her 11th birthday coming up, and Philip was born in February, 1995, which means he just turned 9 a few months ago!!
