Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Feb. 9

Only a week ago I had hopes that Days of Our Lives had begun to pace their February Sweeps stories better, that we were actually working up to a nice build-up then climax. All it took was a week for those hopes to come back down to earth after being shot out of the sky by a week in Salem that was 70% of nothing! Absolutely nothing! With recent news that NBC’s sole sudser has once again fired its head writers, we can only hope something more interesting will be showing up on our screens again soon when the new writers roll in. The only downside to this recent upheaval is knowing we’ll have to suffer some months of these non-events. Here we go!

General Hospital Recap | Week of Feb. 2

This week in Port Charles, NY was talked up to be a huge one, even explosive! But in the end, I felt that a lot of the week fell extremely flat. Few have noted that this has become a deadly cycle for General Hospital, to build up to an event with excellent drama and have the actual climax not be as fulfilling. A show with as rich of a history and such a huge cast of developed characters shouldn’t be relying on plot-driven stories. There has to be more meat to these stories. Let’s get into a few of this week’s highlights.

Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Feb. 2

Days of our Lives is showing that they’re actually going to put in some effort with their February sweeps. With a lackluster November sweeps last year, everyone was a bit apprehensive for what they had planned for this next cycle but it seems like they’re putting their big stories closer to the front burner now. We have a murder mystery, a May-December affair and a steamy gay love triangle all set to light Salem on fire when everything’s come out in the open. I really hope it lives up to this buildup but then again, you never quite know in Salem! Let’s check it out!

Days of Our Lives Recap | Week of Jan. 26

Days of our Lives is once again back to coasting through the middle ground with its storylines. This week was an okay week, giving the audience little teases with their most interesting storylines (Thersa’s stolen baby and Aiden’s mysterious background) while keeping their more uninteresting stories on the front burner. There’s a lot of potential with all of the webs that are being woven in Salem, but there’s also a lot of doubt as to whether the culmination of them all will even be riveting. Let’s look back on a more or less solid week in Salem, USA!

General Hospital Recap | Week of Jan. 26

This week in Port Charles, NY felt like a week in the real world for me. I can’t say that I was overwhelmed nor was I underwhelmed, but I was definitely whelmed. Even with a reveal that has been incubating for about a year now coming to light, I can’t say this week had me necessarily excited – which doesn’t mean it’s a necessarily bad thing either. Anyway, let’s check out what happened on last week’s General Hospital!
