DAYS OF OUR LIVES

     As much as I hate to admit the fact I still watch Days of Our Lives after 37 years I hate to admit even more that the writers have been nothing more than inconsistent and unbelievable for the past few years.  Characters come back from the dead, years after they have been killed off the show, and ressurected by mad scientist. Characters go to jail for murder, kidnapping and rape and get to go free after a few months and don't let me get into the fact they have unlimited free time to call anyone they want and get a multitude of visitors while being held for questioning at the Salem Police Dept and even more so in prison. They escape prison, get caught, no solitary confinement and still allowed visitors so no additional time given. The list goes on and on. The stories become more and more unrealistic and the writers seem to think all viewers are clueless or lack the intelligence to see they are struggling to come up with acceptable and realistic story lines.  The ratings cannot be that great in recent years and these are the key points why.

Kristen DiMera, stabs Victor Kiriakis, goes to jail and is taken away from the love of her life Brady Black, the daughter she just recently got back as she was switched at birth with a stillborn and raised by another for a year. In prison she is allowed to make constant phone calls, escapes by holding her brother at gun point as she grabbed a gun, very easily I may add, from a correctional officer and is able to walk out of the prison with no one else noticing. Kristen later turns herself in, gets put back in jail to then come up with another plan. Pretend to be ditzy Susan Banks again as she feels being in prison will open up the door for her love to move on with another. The entire Kristen D'Mera plot is tiring. No one can get away with all she has and still be free to continue to wreck havoc. Her character is pathetic, selfish, insecure and downright insane. 

Ben Weston & Ciara Brady Weston, separated for months as she is assumed tohave died in a car explosion. Months later she resurfaces behind a glass partition wheere she is being kept against her will. The connection between her and Ben so intense they appear in each others dreams. He finally rescues her after nw being in areal explosion and can remember everyone else except him when she comes out of surgery. 

Clare Brady, wants so much to be loved. Tries to kill Ciara as she feels the only ones available to be with her are ore interested in Ciara, goes to a mental instituttion and once released falls for th first guy she meets who then ends up being a rapist who eventualy gets killed off. Find someone for her she can stay with, open up the door for additional supporting characters. This swapping men thing must also stop. 

To the writers currently in place I ask, please do better or hire someone who can make the characters shine.  You have thirty seven years of viewing experience here speaking, but my mental capacity can't take the bs you guys are continuing to put out. It's not only repetitive, but also a bore.
