Planning Ahead

We are ready to kick off our 2015 soap chat with a discussion on both Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful. Both shows ended 2014 with major shake-ups as key characters exited the show. The difference? One show seemed prepared to for their show's departures while another did not (hence the title of the show). If the past few weeks have taught us anything, it’s to never underestimate the power of planning ahead and letting viewers know that big stories are ahead.

On Days of Our Lives, many of us have wondered if the writers had a clear game plan after EJ and Sami were written off the show. While many stories still seem to be hanging in the air, we are starting to see hints of where the writers plan on taking certain characters and stories. If the past 2 weeks is any indication, this year will continue to focus on certain couples such as Dannifer and Jaige and also, introduce new ones as we see Serena and Eric start to rekindle their romance and Melanie and Brady grow closer. Dynamics also appear to be shifting as we see Will and Sonny grow farther apart and Rafe's world come crashing down around him. Fans have an opinion about one or all of these stories and we have a lot to say as well. Be sure to join us for a candid discussion about Days and feel free to call-in and voice your opinion.

The Bold and the Beautiful has not disappointed these last few weeks. Many of us were sad to see Kim Matula exit the show and were curious how Hope's departure would impact the show. BB showed that they were prepared by setting the stage for a huge power struggle and shake-up over at Forrester. This story not only encompasses all that we love in our soaps but incorporates many characters that had previously been on the back burner. Again, many fans have different opinions on certain stories but most will agree, the show has set the stage for a great year ahead!
