Just when I think I've seen the absolute worst on Days, they actually top
themselves.  I was going to attempt to tune in for the next two months to
personally report on the incredible acting talent not of the Space monster
but I just don't think I can.  This is just too awful.  Thursday was terrible.
 
First, we have Carplips who slurs her speech so badly that I'm beginning to
think she hides a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 in her bra -- a BIG bottle.  I
wanted to choke when she and RoBoinkoCop (tm - Papppppaayayaya and O) told
Victor that he must think they have short memories.  Hah!  This brought to
you from an actress who has such an outsized ego that she thinks the 
audience will forget that Lizardo a) raped Jen, b) killed Steve, and c) tried
to kill Mrs H and will love her regardless of who she's paired with.  Well,
we hate her now.  There aren't adjectives to describe how we'll feel about
her if they continue along these lines.  AND that practice makes perfect
remark -- gag!  If those two "practice" anymore they'll become fused at
the hip.
 
And now, on to my least favorite pitiful excuse for an actress, the Space
cadet.  So did we all figure out why they didn't show the boardroom scene
where Izztheyouttatheirmindsforthinkingwebuyherasathinkingwoman wows all??
Ding, ding, ding.  You got it.  Because of course, there is no way that
nimnod could have been half-way believable.  And this back stuff is pathetic,
but then what isn't on this show.  It hurts to sit down and dance, but boy
that girl is a real trouper when called on to do the deed!  We must have
"STUPID" tatooed to our foreheads considering the junk they feed us.  And
I gagged when poor Drake said, "Oh Icky!  You are the one who gives every-
thing in this relationship."  She's a pretty monstrous taker if you ask
me.  Ooooooooooooh, I HATE this woman.  And I HATE what they are doing
to Drake and from the looks of things, so does he.
 
And Tim, I tried.  I really tried, but this split personality thing is
trash.  You were right about one thing.  They had to give this storyline
to Patsy.  MaryBeth would have been way too good for it.  Talk about a rehash.
And I have to say that I have lost an incredible amount of respect for
Patsy for agreeing to it.  BTW, on SB we have Sydney Penny delivering a
wonderfully subtle performance of a woman who is clearly unbalanced.  Patsy
smears lipstick all over her face, giggles like a two year-old, and prac-
tically makes love to the phone.  Talk about over-acting.  This woman
could write the definitive how-to manual.
 
So we are left with Carpy who goes between over-acting and not acting, Spaci
who simply doesn't act, and Patsy who acts to extremes.  AND let's not
forget Deidre, the tombstone, and Tracy -- how on earth did she get this
job??  And these are the ones who get all the air time.  The show is pathetic.
 
Believe it or not, I really want to like Days.  This is my soap.  I want 
to watch it.  Unfortunately, I just don't have the intestinal fortitude
for it.
