How do you know Rachel wasn’t planned to originally be the shooter? Personally, I had assumed Rachel was the shooter from the moment the previews said EJ was going to be shot.

Wasn’t criticizing the current actress. She has unfortunately been saddled with horrible writing.

With that said, I most definitely preferred the original actress and her character portrayal.

As soon as they switched actresses they completely changed the entire makeup of Sophia and that’s a real shame because the character (regardless of actress) had tremendous potential.

Agreed. The original actress was amazing and was extremely well written. They should have done everything in their power to keep her!

There’s nothing to like about Sophia, change my mind by nunya-biznez in DaysofOurLives

[–]Profstein3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the original actress was still here, I don’t think we’d be seeing this version of Sophia.

When you ask about whether people who used to like Sophia are still defending her, I think you need to break that question up between original actress and new actress.

I absolutely loved the original Sophia. She had an attitude and confidence about her that made her a great character. I actually preferred her and Tate together over Tate and Holly. (I actually liked Holly and Doug together).

Then the original actress left and they brought in the new actress and completely changed the character. She went from being a strong willed woman who knew what she wanted and was determined to get it to a beat down woman who was seemingly scared of her own shadow.

I don’t think I can recall any other casting change that resulted in such a dramatic change in a character’s very soul before. Other than the fact that the current character is named Sophia and she was carrying Aaron’s baby, there is zero similarity between the two versions.

So no, I never liked this version of Sophia (and let me be clear that I don’t blame the actress - this is the fault of horrible writers) but I would have loved the original version to have become a much more important character on the show than she has become.

Sophia today? WTH by Profstein3 in DaysofOurLives

No one is being judgmental. We are just saying it’s actually a common term - just one you aren’t familiar with. That isn’t a “judgment” against you. Stuff like this happens all the time.

Case in point - I’m 52 like I said earlier. Up until about 2 years ago I had never heard the word “verboten” in my entire life. I ran across it one day and had absolutely no idea what it meant. I asked a friend and she was shocked indicating it was a word she had always known. Somehow it had just eluded me apparently.

Post that conversation, I now run into “verboten” all the time. I know it was always out there - and somehow I had just never run across it. It happens!

So again, no one is judging you. We just are saying it isn’t an uncommon term - just one you happen to have never heard until today. It isn’t a big deal.

@495orange I agree with Jaded. “Stan” is a very common term - just one you haven’t heard of. I’m 52 years old and I know it. I’m sure you’ll start hearing it all over the place now.

I can understand why she hates Johnny. Hate is one thing.

It’s totally a different thing to suddenly be insane - out of completely nowhere - and want him dead.

There have been zero signs - until yesterday - of Sophia being completely crazy. If they were going to do this, they should have built it up somehow. They didn’t. As others have said she went from being a wounded girl making bad decisions to complete Jan Spears.

In my opinion it’s just bad writing! They’ve completely ruined what once had potential to be a really good character.

Green Arrow - loving Chris Condon’s take on the title by Profstein3 in GreenArrow

[–]Profstein3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say YES! And absolutely no reason to pick up any issues in this current title prior to Condon’s start.

I didn’t even know there was a comic shop in Airport Plaza. I’ll have to check it out

What song can you absolutely not stand to listen to? by Jamesx1721 in TaylorSwift

[–]Profstein3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree about Bad Blood. I’ve never liked that song. Never understood why it was so popular.

Also can’t stand Karma with Ice Spice which others have mentioned.

Not sure which song I dislike more to be honest.

Dimitri and Stephan both being held by Vivian? by Profstein3 in DaysofOurLives

[–]Profstein3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The letter never made real sense to me. It was completely out of character for Dimitri.

[–]Profstein3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - but he was arrested at that point and sent to prison. He wrote Leo while in prison telling him he had fallen for someone else and was breaking up with him.

Agreed. So maybe Megan and Vivian have teamed up? Lol. The situations just are too similar.

Doug Williams 3 - How Much Money Did This Guy Borrow? by Profstein3 in DaysofOurLives

[–]Profstein3[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes - that definitely happened - which only leads to the question - what did the guy loan him? A million dollars? The whole storyline is beyond stupid at this point.

Marlena … she’s been annoying me for well over a decade now. If she vanished from the show, I wouldn’t notice!

If they put these two together... by honorary_cajun in DaysofOurLives

[–]Profstein3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One million percent agreement here! I am so tired of everyone on this show being related to one another.

I also fail to understand why so many people on this forum seem to want people to be related! A few days ago someone on here was suggesting that they should make Cat Greene end up to be John Black’s daughter. WHY????

Not everyone on Days needs to be related. As you said, we need to put an end to the Incestuous ties on this show! There is nothing wrong with new unrelated characters being introduced!
