What do you miss on Days that you used to have but you don't anymore? It can be a character, an actor, a set, singing, or anything else.I'll go first. And no, I'm not going to say what you think.  I miss the ensemble that Days used to be. There's way too much focus on one character or one story or one household or one family nowadays. It often feels like I am watching a show that stars Sami, Rafe, and EJ. Once in a while we get a visit from someone else, like in a sitcom when the neighbor comes to visit. I'd like to see more balance, more interaction, and more family love. What do you miss?

I miss scenery... they would actually go to the office to work, they would actually go to the mall, they would actually go to school or a school dance, real places not just a few places we see over & over again..That is what I miss & I notice it a lot when I watch old youtubes.

I completely agree. There were multiple restaurants, bars, offices and homes. During the teen years with Philip, Chloe, Belle, Mimi, Shawn there were multiple sets of the high school. There were classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, the gym. Back then almost every character had a house or apartment that was actually shown. Isn't there a high school wood shop class in California that could build some sets? |

What I miss most besides a few of the male actors...Jay, Bryan... is the umbrella storylines that used to occur on the show. We get them occasionally but not like the Cruise of Deception. Even during the teen story in the late 90's the parents were involved too. You had Nancy, Craig, Hope, Bo, Marlena, John, Kate, Victor and Mimi's Mom playing roles in what was going on in their kids lives. Now Will is the only high schooler who has parents on-screen and Sami is way to involved in her own messes to spend time with Will.
I also miss characters having friends. The only ones I can think of now are Chloe and Nicole, and Brady and Melanie. I remember the Days of Hope, Jen, and Melissa being close friends as well as cousins. They would spend time together and help each other through their problems. The adults had friends too. The guys even had friends.

I miss real romance. They dangled the carrot in front of our nose with Victor and Maggie and yanked it back again. I want to see a woman get swept off her feet and romanced. Is it too much to ask to see some happiness?

The thing is, this is very easy to do. It wouldn't even be hard on the budget. But I really really really really (one more really) really do not want to see Dimbulb shirtless again. |

I loved the romance and danger (the mysterious tattoos, Stockholm, train rides...).
I miss the falling in love with the wrong guy (like Kayla and Patch, Jack and Jennifer, etc.)
I miss the family values (where families interacted, and everyone had their own stories. Not a character being on the screen just to build up another character *coughEJ/Samicough*)
I miss interesting new people who intrigued you (as in Not Dario).
I miss the Brady's spunk and the Horton's know how. Not the blandness of the Hernandi clan.
And, most of all, I miss workplace drama. How I'd love to see Nicole and Sami go head to head against each other in an all or nothing business setting, rather than battling over yet another man. Or, have Nicole work for Brady and have them fall in love again while trying to make Basic Black a better industry than Stephanos.

SIGH. I miss all of these things as well.
As far as scenery goes, I miss REAL outdoor scenes... I am sick of the SAME greenery EVERYWHERE for all things outside. BLECH. It's sad to see this show sometimes look like a elementary school production when it comes to scenes.
I miss the ROMANTIC adventures more than anything. Those that included Bo, Hope, Marlena John, Patch, Kayla, Shane and Kimberly. At least we now have You Tube to go back and live those moments over...
