Interns

What's happening i soap operas right now? Are there just interns writing the manuscrips or what?

Guy Wilson and Freddie Smith.

Let's start with Days of our lives. Well, Sonny's just left the show and it is already a rumour that he will return. And Will on his hand, will die! Why? Why make a character leave the show just to take him back when you kill of his husband? I really don't get it. An really, Will Horton is an icon in this show! Personally I like Chandler Massey better than Guy Wilson, but I was hoping for Will to be kept alive. Interns, I has to be interns...

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

And what on earth are Hollyoaks doing? First they seperate Ste and John Paul, the married couple, who according to me are made for eachother, just to make Ste go straight and start dating Sinead, the witchy bitch, a female, and later cheat on her with Harry, the 17 year old! I just don't get it! Sinead and Harry, when John Paul is around! Please make this storyline stop soon! And I can't wait for Christmas! This storyline is just so bad and messy that it can't be anyone else than interns who writes it. The HIV-positive gay man with a girlfriend and a 17 year old lover. I mean, come on!

Ronny Roslöf and Pete Lattu.

But then there's Lalle and Salatut Elämät. I think that storyline is the worst of them all. Ok, it's not as messy as the Hollyoaks shit, but it is just so boring! I mean, we have all seen it before, and more than once! What happened to writing an own storyline instead of borrowing an old worn out storyline from Days, Hollyoaks, Eastenders etc. The list is long. Very long. And it gives me headache! It is so obvious that this baby-storyline is just a long-drawn way to get Lalle to slit up and Larias to reunite. And that is so what to expect. How about a bit of a surprise writers? How about a wedding between Lari and Kalle? How about not doing the expected? Well, ok, I didn't think so. But such a typical, old a worn put storyline can't be written by anyone but interns. So how about sacking the interns and get back in track with the storylines?

Gays Days

I've started watching the Will and Sonny storyline from Days of our lives from the beginning. I haven't seen all the gay storylines yet (even though I try to imply I have) and the WilSon storline I have just seen parts from. The thing is, it seems like the american channels and production companies can be just as stingy as the german. One youtube-user has been flagging that the WilSon storyline soon can be deleated from youtube so I thought I better get started.

Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith.

There are few things that I'm astonished about. I really didn't expect Chandler Massey to be such a good actor! I knew he was good, I mean you don't win the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series if you are not good but I didn't expect him to be so good! I mean, it's an american soap, the actors are usually not that good. Sorry all american soap actors, don't take it personally, it's not your fault, it's the lousy scripts, the unatural sets and the work pace that makes it. But Chandler Massey has a really natural act that you almost never see. I can really get why he drops of Days to complete his actor studies. 

Guy Wilson as Will Horton.

I haven't seen much of Guy Wilsons portaing of Will Horton yet but hopefully it will be satisfying. But anyways, there's more that astonishes me. The other thing is that Will and Sonny are so cute together! Chandler and Freddie has a really good interaction that is a delight to see! And that's an aspect that makes the storyline worth watching. Because sorry, at least for as far as I have come, there is not much more. Sorry Days, but I had forgotten how slow, dull and woody american soap operas in general, and Days of our lives especially is. I realised why I prefer german and british soaps. Of course they are also a bit slow sometimes, but at least something happens! In Days a typical days catastrophy that is about two hours in Days-time takes two weeks or two months to show on air! And the dialogs just go on and on and on... And also, american soaps can be so prude and sugary, but in the same times not. You can wait forever before you have sex but, but in the same episodes there is a violent axe murderer on the loose. You know what I mean. But I will continue watching it. All soap gay storylines are good storylines. Of course.
