Soaps for The Thinking Fan
By Patrick Erwin
For all its onscreen and offscreen turmoil, Days of Our Lives seems to have a few stories working for it right now. One of them is Chelsea and Stephanie and the sorority girls dealing with the aftermath of the campus rapist, Ford, who raped Stephanie and Cordy and threatened Chelsea. Initially, the story didn’t seem too promising. The setup of the story was rushed (what story isn’t, nowadays?) and the rapist, Ford, came off as a one-dimensional buffoon.

I no longer do “Best” and “Worst” lists for soaps. After all, there have been so many “worsts” this year, why would I want to re-inflict the pain on you again? Moi loves mon readers. So, only the “bests” for you, darlings.

Days of Our Lives can be called many things, but “boring” is seldom one of them. The show’s twists, turns, and red herrings sometimes make The daVinci Code look like Dr. Seuss in comparison!
