I Dream of Jeannie

With Tony dieing soon, Stefano off the show, Lexie disowning her name as DiMera, Rex being a Brady, and Lucas quiting his job working for Tony, is this the end of the DiMeras? Could it be the end of the super villians? Maybe there is hope, due to the whole killer identity and the fact that many believe, including myself that Marlena has been switched, that Stefano will return. It's truly a sad thing to think about, the DiMeras were the great super villians, before them conflicts were based upon the inside, Maggie's alchohal abuse, Julie getting into trouble with the law and such.
Will the show go back to that, go back to basics, no it can't. At least not in the eyes of the producers and writers, because of the ever changing genre. Everyone's looking for something BIG to happen, so the soaps all try and out do one another, because they believe that's what the "new" audience wants. But have they ever stopped and took a good look at they're audiences, long time viewers are what keep them on the air, please them and you get more viewers. Tick them off, lose them and get no new viewers, because no one is talking about how good a show is, but how the show screwed them over. Maybe, if the head's of the soaps would stop their conquest for glory and look around they'd realize, that we aren't the ones wanting ENORMOUSLY big things to happen, I mean by the time I'm 20 they are going to have storylines about nuclear bombs going off on Mars on the soaps. Totally ridiculous, if they'd only realize, that though the times change, the basics stay the same, BIG things can happen, but you look at the way the soaps are now. Most of them are bankrupt at least that's what they claim, we'll duh, you spend a zillion dollars on some giant set for a storyline the audience doesn't even care about then of COURSE you're going to lose money. Sometimes I just dont' understand it, I wish they'd all wake up and smell the coffee.
