In Their Own Words

What the fans have to say....

When Stefano went to the jungle it was soooo funny.
from Kara, in IL
Lately I haven't enjoyed any of the story lines on DOOL !! The writers have not been very true to history, and the current storylines run way too long!!
I've been watching DOOL for 30 years, and am not happy with it these days!!
from Eadie S., in Nesconset, NY
Anything with Drake in it.
from Diane W., in Louisville, KY
I enjoyed the Kristen/Susan/Stefano summary. Because I really like Susan and the story because she is like in love with Elvis and want's 2 keep her baby and I like her voice but mainly just because she is funny (in a good way).
SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON THAT STORY LINE
from one of those anonymous folks again...
The one that happened the day the show was preempted (LOL). I don't know, one where Marlena smacked Kristen or Carrie smacked Sammi or Stefano did the Elvis thing ... were those November?
from Joy
I thought they were all lame.
from Emily K., from MN
I live in South Africa... And we're still by the Devil Tony/John/Kristin/Marlena thing. And the Sami/Austin/Carrey/Jamie thing. And the Jack/Jennifer/Peter/Laura thing.
from Jessi, in South Africa
None, they keep using the same boring triangles, What happened to "love in the Afternoon?" We watch soaps for romance and adventure. I have watched Days since before Hope or Mike were even born and I am so tired of the last years story lines. I think I may abandon ship.
from Charmaine, in WA
Sami scheming to get a job at Titan by blackmailing Kate
from JoAnna, in Dallas, TX
The storyline I most enjoyed in November was probibly the John/Hope/Stefano/Kristen jungle storyline. The reason I liked it was because it was just a real change in seeing Hope and John running around in that jungle looking for the cure. And I really wanted John back in Salem because I wanted him with Marlena but watching John,Hope,Kristen,and Stefano in the jungle was really cool. I thought Stefano's shrine to Marlena was revolting but in a way I thought it was cool. I'm really glad John & Hope found it to see how Stefano was even more sick!
from Angela W., in Topeka, KS
I enjoyed the Jungle Storyline a lot. Was that in November ?? i forget well I really like the Marlena/Roman?John thing going on, but someone needs to tell Roman. Or he should die, one or the other. Marlena and John forever!!!!!!!
from Matt J., in Livermore, CA
I don't really have a favorite story line for November. It was a pretty boring month if you ask me.
from Shannon, in CO
Carrie and Mike I want them to get together so bad and I think they are made for each other.
from Lynesha, in Florence, SC
I love all of her (Sami) storylines...even more when they aren't dragged out over a long period of time! hehe
from Jana, in CA
Anything that gets Bille away from Bo.
from Clark, in CA
THE JUNGLE STORYLINE. IT WAS LIKE THE GOOD OLD "DAYS"
from Jennifer
Carrie, Mike and Austin because I wasn't sure if Carrie would realize her feelings for Mike or not, if she has any. It was a kind of suspenseful time.
from Sarah, in Arcata, CA
I most enjoyed Kristen/Susan storyline, 'cause it was really funny and I love just about ALL of Kristen's storylines.
from Stephanie, in Pennsylvania
Sami blackmailing Kate never see a kid blackmailing an adult that often.
from Amber, in NJ
Not one!! November was terrible for DAYS, but then so were June, July, August,Spetmebr and October. The storylines are pathetic and repetitive. ED's caricatures are like watching a Jerry Lewis marathon. I am sick to tears of John Black. Bo and Hope (the most potentially exciting and romantic couple ever on DAYS) have had like two scenes...for the most part JERk has ignored and underused or misused these two actors (PR and KA). It is so surprise that DAYS is continuing to drop in the ratings. Most fans I know are sick of the same characters dominating the show, sick of silly gimmicks and sick of triangles!!
from Judy, in PA
The Susan/Kristen storyline. It was quite interesting. And Susan is really funny to watch.
from Terri, in Sarasota
Actually...not one. I am sick of John Black, sick of Stefano and Kristen and all the other characters ED plays. They have dominated the show for the last year. Enough already. I want to see more of the Bradys, espcially Bo, more of Bo and Hope. And I am tired, as are many, of triangles, obsession and stupid gimmicks. Can't wait til SSm's stories kick in. Hopefully she will actually focus on characters and relationships.
from JC, in CO
I thought all the storylines were phenomal. But i think the storyline I most enjoyed was the Carrie/ MIke/Austin triangle. Mike and Carrie have a passion that makes Austin look second rate to Mike.
from Grace F., in Brooklyn
The whole Stefano being honest and good storyline.
from Ty O., in Rochester, MN
Lucas' response to Sammy's lies about Wil. It was nice to see someone who can have some affect on her and her manipulativeness -- and Lucas knows Sammy through and through.
from Rita, in Maine
I thought that the storyline concerning Sami was quite amazing concidering that she has so many peoples lives in the palm of her hands and no one has the balls to stand up to her (Kate) and just face the truth. I would have rather handed the blackmail over to the press myself before letting that ignorant little girl become apart of my well established business. But Sami does play her part well.
from Sapphire, in CO
The story line I enjoyed the most was the Mike/Carrie/Austin/Sami/Lucas. First, I think that Mike and Carrie belong together and I want the writers to get around to Mike telling her. I also really enjoyed how Lucas is standing up to Sami now. I like this side of him a lot better than his coniving side. Another thing, Austin does not deserve Carrie, Mike does!!!!!!!
from Hope, in NJ
For Christ sakes, get Bo and Hope back together. I actually used to like Billie but she's so pathetic in her "fight" for Bo and now the only person she deserves is Max. I think that Sami should expose Kate and Franco so Bo realizes what's going and thinks that Billie is in on keeping him and Hope apart. Then Billie would never come on the seen and flaunt herself to Bo again. Billie and Mike should get together, if that's possible, and Carrie can get jealous of her sister-in-law. That would be great!
from Johanna F., in Edmonton, Canada
I liked the Hope/Bo/Billie--it seems to be gaining some momentum after months of just putting along.
from Dawn
Unfortunately I have not been too excited about any of the story lines. I have been intrigued watching Marlena juggle the John/Roman situation. I would enjoy it immensly if they would settle this mess and let John and Marlena finally be together and be happy! Enough is enough....they've simply been apart too long!
from Lori, in IL
I most enjoyed the Jennifer/Jack storyline. I felt that it was getting closer to the way Days used to be, where a man would do anything for the woman he loves. It is action-packed, and the characters seem to be using their brains, for once.
from Emily K., in Erie, PA
It was a very BAD November. All of the couples who were together in Nov stink....Carrie/Austin, Bo/Billie, Marlena/Roman, they are all with the wrong people, and it's BORING to watch.
from Michelle, in MN
I enjoyed the Jack/Jennifer/Travis/T.C. storyline because it had suspense but you still knew that Jack wasn't going to die. I also hope that Jack and Jennifer do get married again.
from Elyse B., in IL
I think the story that i enjoyed in Novemeber was when Bo and Hope finally got togehter and talked. I hated the fact that they did not finish their conversation. I am really getting tired on the Hope Bo andd Billie triangle.
from Liz, in UT
I haven't enjoyed a Days storyline in quite sometime.
from Michelle, in Bethlehem, PA
Carrie needs an adult partner in life and Austin doesn't fit the bill. Mike and Carrie also have terrfic chemistry whereas Carrie and Austin have lost it. It's time for Carrie to move on with Mike!
from Amy L., in NJ
None!!! It was the same old repetitious boring stuff. Bo babysitting Billie, Franco stalking Hope, Sammi blackmailing Kate (Yawn!!!)
from Norma, in NYC
Why... Mainly because the way Stephanie portrays the kidnapping seems very realistic. I compare it to when Hope was kidnapped a while back. She kept telling Bo to find her telepathically. It seemed so unreal. I get tired of Bo & Hope's so called connection.
from Amanda B., in Southaven, MS
I enjoyed watching John become a HUMAN BEING again. I'm not sure I agree with his choice of lady loves right now, but I'm just lovin' him say stuff like, "What's up with having Roman move back into the Penthouse with you???" That's my boy. Can I sneak in a second thought here, or doesn't that count, haha? I was really, really impressed with Stephanie Cameron throughout November. Kudos to her for whatever acting course she's been taking!
from Callen, in upstate NY
NONE!!! November Sweeps sucked!
from Addy, in Puerto Rico
It had great storylines as usual, but I have one complaint. For Pete's sake, put Mike and Carrie together ! Remember, MIKE+CARRIE=MAGIC !!!!!!!!
from DaysFan in Canada
Stefano fathering Baby Elvis. It is so far-fetched that it is humorous. Joseph Mascolo and Eileen Davidson's acting is superb - especially Eileen's.
from Bettycj, in Kenosha, WI
Honestly??? Not one!! I tried to watch but could not. Bo and Hope were only on for one or two days in November. This is third sweeps in which they were ignored. I hope SSM can change this. DAYS ratings starting dropping in September and stayed down all through sweeps. What were TIIC thinking???
from JJ, in CA
Tough to say. I didn't like any one storyline in its entirety. I LOVED the scenes where Bo and Hope were together, though. You could just feel the chemistry between those two!!
from Peachie, in OH
I enjoyed seeing John question why Marlena was going to marry Roman. It was a fresh change to see some honest emotion from him. He actually found his brain again and much more of that is needed on Days
from Betsy D., in Lower Burrell, PA
I loved the few scenes between John and Marlena. The moment when they talked on the hospital balconey was so touching, so tender. These scenes show how much John and Marlena are in love. I want more romantic,tender scenes between John and Marlena.
from Shelley
There were not any storylines I enjoyed during November! In fact, for the first time in five years I stopped watching! I still feel cheated from the all too brief reunion between John and Marlena this past summer! I am so-o-o-o tired of watching them sad and apart, if there is any couple on Days that deserves to be together and happy, it is John and Marlena!
from Charlene, in Seattle, WA
The only reason I watch Days is John and Marlena. About a week after John came home from the jungle I enjoyed he and Marlena fighting about the wedding and especially making up. These two light my screen up every afternoon. They are pure magic so please let them be happy.
from Brenda, in Scranton, PA
I liked having Bo and Hope meet up again and get "some" of the misunderstandings cleared up. I know there's still alot left undone but it's a start :-)
from Jeanne, in NC
Whatever happened to excitement?Days has gotten drab, lackluster,and redundant. Bo and Hope need an adventure, not a playdate with Billie and Franco. Why mix such substandard characters as Billie and Franco with the likes of Bo and Hope? It's poor writing. Look at your assets not your losses. Bo and Hope are rich with history Bo and Billie are cursed bad chemistry and no exciting interaction. Why is this so? Because Billie has no spine. Hope has more dignity and grace in one strand of hair than Billie has in her whole body. She is a street puppy looking for free takeout and Bo is just the man to feed her? This is why no storyline was enjoyed. I do think there is potential with Eric.
from Laura C., in Mooresville, NC
Not a single one!
from Julie, in Toronto
Bo and Billie FINALLY coming back (Bo has been babysitting Billie for way too long now). Then of course, Bo and Hope FINALLY talking things out and finding out the truth. I'm a BIG Bo and Hope fan and I really wish the writers would quit this kind of bad writing and get them back together!!!
from DOOLCarrieMike, in Canada
I totally loved the fact that Peter is already on his way out again due to being bitten by the jungle mosquito. Just keep him on long enough to free Jack and then I hope he bites the dust ASAP. Peter is pond scum just like his stepfather and sister. Otherwise, I have enjoyed watching Lucas catch a clue about what a rotten mother and role model Sami is. Having him threaten to take Will away from her if she does not get her priorites straight (like get out of la la land already Sami!). I think that Sami and Lucas have great potential as a couple.
from Michelle, in Helena, Montana
I cannot stand the Bo and Billie saga, this "undercover" operation and now marriage has gone on way too long. Get bo and hope back together.
from Eileen, in NJ
I really enjoyed seeing Hope being a strong woman and take charge of her life. The jungle story was stupid but I liked her and John working togeather and helping each other. It was like the old days. I've been wacthing "days" since the very first episode.
from Nancy Jo L., in Pittsurgh, PA
I still like the Mike character as he appears to be one of the few left with brains, although his brains seem to be seeping out lately, too.
November, November, what the heck happened in November? Oh God, not that silly Jungle Bungle. I would have to say the Rome Fiasco, although NOT the part with Billie and Bo. Mostly the part with Mike, Debra, Carrie, and ?? hmm..wasn't there someone else there?? Well, I forget his name.
from GiGi, in CA
Mike and Carrie.
They look great together. They should have a BIG storyline. They have more chemistry together that Austin and Carrie. (IMO)
from Laurence V., in Quebec, Canada
The fact that Kimberly is back. I think she is the only person that has any common sense. I really wish they would bring her back permanently.
from Robyn H., NJ
I enjoyed the new romance with Bo and Billie. They are MUCH more interesting than Bo and Hope, and they have A LOT more chemistry. I HATE Hope, she is a boring, whiny, conceded loser!
from Kendra, in Ontario, Canada
I hated all of the storylines - BUT.... just seeing Bo and Hope together in the same scenes definitely gave me hope that better things are coming...
Please reunite Bo and Hope already!!!
from Michelle K., from St. Louis, MO
November on Days was a bust IMO. Strange too since it was a sweeps period. The only highlight I can find that really stands out is Eric and his interactions with his family. I enjoy that he seems to be the only one who is calling things like he sees them. His conversations with John, Roman, Marlena and esp his snide conversations with Kristen were all entertaining to watch.
from PN, in CA
I enjoyed all the time Mike and Carrie spent together. Maybe they will finally end the boring Carrie and Austin pairing. Mike and Carrie are hottttt!!!!!
from Shelley, in Columbus, OH
The story about peter coming back. I like this because finally there is some fight for jen. Plus, now that stefeno confessed that he was alive there will be a fight for Jen.
from Melissa G., in Morgantown, WV
I think that the storyline I enjoyed most was when Vivian and Ivan were at Jonesy's house trying to find out what was in the room. Anything will Vivian is my favorite storyline.
from Missy
I liked the jungle storyline the most. Partly because of the cheesy effects (hehe) and I loved seeing Stefano dress up as some sort of demigod or whatever! And it was *really* nice to see Hope with a backbone!
from Jen, in IA

Tell your friends! The more results I have, the more note the Powers that Be will take when I send the results at the end of the month!

Please note that duplicate votes are NOT counted more than once. So sending me 50 replies saying that the Bo/Billie storyline is the best will NOT be reflected unless 50 different people send me those votes.
