That's right, you have a brain capable of crafting a good, salable, story. <br /><br />You touch on so many truths when it comes to psychological ways her story could have been written. Really, it takes no more time to research the illness than it does to check email. The least the writers can do is treat their audience like we have minds, capable of grasping such ideas! I am so tired of being treated as unintelligent because they cannot write!<br /><br />You were right, Chloe was the one we rooted for. Hell even with her and Brady, I wanted the real Chloe back, a force to be dealt with. We fell in love with her, and then had to watch her transmorph into this creature? Yes, people grow and change, but not to that extreme!<br /><br />Every true Chloe fan needs to read this entry! BTW has Nadia seen that magazine cover? I think she'd really love to see that!Schinaia12noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-43464602526923748412011-02-17T13:29:39.076-05:002011-02-17T13:29:39.076-05:00Diggy, I am so glad you reminded me of why I love ...Diggy, I am so glad you reminded me of why I love Chloe! I wanted to highlight one thing that you said :<br /><br />I think the writers have forgotten that it isn't always about the event itself - It's about how the characters/actors/writers handle said event.<br /><br />That speaks volumes for me! It is what is wrong with the entire show. All shock and awe with no reason, consequences or closure!<br /><br />Great job!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702600182273861607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-74920374205529526362011-02-16T12:25:54.510-05:002011-02-16T12:25:54.510-05:00Nathan :

Bravo!
Thank you for so eloquently...Bravo, diggy! Bravo!<br /><br />Thank you for so eloquently and intelligently giving voice to the disgust and frustration so many of us feel with the way this storyline is playing out.<br />What could have been a great opportunity for both Nadia and for the writing team to deliver a strong, truly emotional story of a new (and now single) mother battling with PPD has been watered down (and dumbed down) to another tabloid cartoon that passes for Days plotwriting under the Corday/Higley regime.<br /><br />Wow, I remember when watching soaps were about being whisked away from reality for a while by stories of intrigue and drama and love conquering all. Now it's been reduced to a dismal trainwreck of Jerry Springer meets Nickelodeon's 80's classic "Seventeen".<br /><br />"Comcast... take me away!!"angelsorceressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-70492063336933808072011-02-15T09:13:25.280-05:002011-02-15T09:13:25.280-05:00Diggy, Thank you so much!!!!! Round of applause ...Diggy, Thank you so much!!!!! Round of applause for your snark as well as the accurate analysis of what they are doing to the characters on the show.<br /><br />I have been recording Y&R and B&B and watching Days live when I can; however, I watched the scene where Chloe decided to leave Parker, and the next time I saw them (interrupted by other things in life) I see Chloe and Philip all fine and dandy eating homemade cookies and NOTHING said about the smoke or what the heck happened. When I have the strength, I will read a recap of it but right now the biggest attraction for those scenes for me other than how cute Parker is -- is that I can't stop looking at Philip's new haircut and why in the heck did they wait so fricking long to give him one? Granted a bit on the short side but so positive and clean looking compared to the old style. I just don't get these people behind the scenes at all -- other than cubbiegirl's comment which does explain it all -- plot point writing-- and then the earlier how not just the events being important but how the character(s) handle/react to them. THAT is what I miss so much on this show!<br /><br />Your snark is what has helped me to not walk away completely from the show!!! (On days you don't have a recap I spent little time on the EJAMI board even so yeah I realize there is a big correlation for me. . . I'm tired of whining and pouting and complaining because well this may be the s/l till November -- it's already sucked for me big time for five months and I'm not giving them anymore of my time with so little payoff -- and their downright thumbing their noses at what I want to see - fun, romance and a little adventure -- which is missing on this show big time and the quality of the s/l writing are consistently atrocious and lame and disappointing.<br /><br />I kind of chuckled at the doppelganger thing because the new one is more interesting; however, I am not going to type the actor's initials or character's name to give him more buzz. . . and I was too distracted by the scenes of NL so I will have to wait till there are more on YT so I can actually maybe enjoy JS as EJ again. . . I feel torn when I watch him because I keep thinking WTH the entire time.<br /><br />Sorry this is such a long ramble. I've been kind of holding back for a few days. . . And on Chloe -- there are so many OOC for her and other characters in that story. She would at least be checked on by Maggie and she would let Maggie know that she was feeling overwhelmed. And all this time later and she hasn't gotten her nosy mom involved. Not that I want to see her parents anytime soon, but at least show her falling apart on the phone. And the scenario you shared about her falling asleep from exhaustion makes more sense -- her leaving as a conscious decision because he just fell asleep while oven baking was ALMOST as stupid to me as the crap back in early September. (ALMOST I say because I am trying to move away from the EJAMI griping I have going in my head!)Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-13420630264930019232011-02-15T08:23:10.195-05:002011-02-15T08:23:10.195-05:00I have but three words - plot point writing.I have but three words - plot point writing.cubbiegirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-45710306697802486712011-02-15T02:57:24.680-05:002011-02-15T02:57:24.680-05:00Thank you so much for writing this! I miss the REA...Thank you so much for writing this! I miss the REAL Chloe Lane. You said it all. I have been so down to the point of tears of how Chloe has been treated by Dena Higley. It is ridiculous. But Melanie has no right to the baby and she's evil herself. But no, the fans see that Chloe is horrible. That is stupid. Anyway, yeah, I miss my good hearted feisty Chloe. She is missed and I wish there was something we as a fan base can do together to send the message that we want our girl back and shut those haters up with crap like "She has no history in Salem" "Get rid of her" "She has no fans" Let's show them. Please Chloe fans, let's do something about this before it's too late!Nathanhttp://www.youtube.com/user/2007Ballroomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-7613047608346282542011-02-15T01:13:34.501-05:002011-02-15T01:13:34.501-05:00What Days doesn't know how to handle sensitive...What Days doesn't know how to handle sensitive subjects like post postpartum depression and autism??

Practically every female character (in fact, every character has been altered, but that's for another time) on this show has been mutated into a weak, dependent woman, incapable of handling life's difficulties. Don't forget the bitch and slut dynamic that runs rampant in Salem. I loved Chloe, but they have turned her into a vapid, spineless shadow of her former self. I'm not buying post-partum depression. It just doesn't work here. I'd call it post-paternity reveal depression myself and I know that the real Chloe (not written by DH) would never let herself fall into this situation at the expense of her child. <br />Even a basic wiki article could have given them the info Days needed to craft a believable post-partum depression storyline but, as usual, Days disappoints in so many ways. <br />I'm really hoping that someone will wake up from the nightmare that this show has become soon. The subservience of my beloved characters to plot-point writing just doesn't work and leaves me tuning out or using the fast-forward button for 80% of the episode (the watchable 20% is all James Scott and even that's hard to swallow storyline-wise of late).<br />As usual, thanks for your insightful blog diggy! You are the Queen of Snark and Days analysis!krononoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621965583343293981.post-9384071837002479252011-02-14T21:37:45.999-05:002011-02-14T21:37:45.999-05:00I love reading your blog diggy.

Her depression is b/c of losing Daniel and feeling like she doesn't have anyone.
