Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place but I thought you might enjoy. The top pick is a familiar one. . I definitely agree with the worst picks for Days. I hated the Poplar Bluff gang and that EJ was killed by a "day player."

10 Worst Characters of 2014

daytimeconfidential.com/2014/12/15/10-worst-soap-characters-2014/

I love whoever writes these! Their description of Will's new personality made me snort out loud.

This writer easily fixed DOOL's multitude of mistakes: "If Stause had been cast as Maggie’s daughter Sarah Horton, Read as a recast Bill Horton and Wilson as Andrew Donovan, we doubt they’d be on a worst list. Just saying." Why is it that EVERYONE but Corday and crew can see the problems?!

Great columns. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting. Days didn't seem to fare too poorly in the Worst Storyline category.

I do agree with their assessment of the Poplar Bluff gang though.

Just read the worst characters. I think they said it all when describing Will, Ben and Paige.

"Selfish sanctimonious asshat"

The only thing I couldn't believe is that Jordan didn't make the list.


They also did best and worst couples. I agreed with most of the Days ones.

I'll have to look up the best/worst couples. Thanks for sharing.

I also found the description of Paige a bit funny: "There’s no way sultry, sex cat Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva) bore this snore"

This is so true, it should be written in stone somewhere:

Jordan, Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Clyde (James Read) were afforded much too much airtime in 2014. Why should we care about these people? Who gives a barrel of hay about what happened to their mama back home in Poplar Bluff?

If Stause had been cast as Maggie’s daughter Sarah Horton, Read as a recast Bill Horton and Wilson as Andrew Donovan, we doubt they’d be on a worst list.

If we got rid of Ben, Paige, and Will then there'd be room for Shawn, Belle, and Claire to come home - and maybe even throw in Philip and/or Chloe too!

I agree with their choices for best/worst Days couples. I am surprised that my favorite couple didn't get a mention, but I guess they haven't been a couple long enough.

Thanks for posting this wendylou. I agree with many of these.

[wendylou]

Maybe they're too new. Here's a link to the couples lists.

I think their description of Paige in this is good too - milquetoast is spot on.

I love the hashtag #FreeJJ. That's hilarious!

Also, I guess I'm not the only one who has begrudgingly accepted that it'll never be over for Dannifer and that you have to prepare for the inevitable reunion that will coming in 2015 and last approximately 7-10 business days: "Days of Our Lives is determined to make Dannifer a thing, and we’re pretty much resolved to let them do so. We’re tired of griping about how awful the couple is year-after-year, so we guess we’ll just gear up for yet another 12 months of 40-something angst, sturm and drang for frowning Jennifer Rose Horton (Melissa Reeves) and her sullen Dr. Daniel Jonas (Shawn Christian) on Days of Our Lives. Yay."

Yeah, of course I'm not liking that one but I know it's the predominant sentiment. I'm glad Brady and Teresa made it onto the best list.

[unavitasegreta]

I feel like Brady and Theresa could be a best couple, but the show just didn't do them justice. The actors have fabulous chemistry. My disappointment is that we never saw Theresa have remorse or genuine feelings for Brady. The moment it seemed like she cared, that was squashed in the next scene or the next day. Now that they're apart, it's nice to see some hints that Theresa truly cares about Brady. I just wish we could have seen this sooner because now it looks like Brady is developing feelings for Melanie and we all know she's a Jonas and thus it seems almost impossible that Brady would ever choose Theresa over a Jonas! I feel like the potential for Brady/Theresa was/is there but now it's pointless to root for them because Melanie is the chosen one.
