As fireworks usher in 2015 with a bang, Melanie and Brady unexpectedly find themselves locked in a hot kiss, and Nicole runs into Serena.
 
I'm sure some of this has to do with traveling and the holiday, but I think it also has to do with the fact that DOOL just isn't interesting to probably the majority of folks who watch the soaps. And I know that B&B lately has had some dull moments as well.
 
When I was but a wee child, an older child, I loved being home around the holidays so I could watch Days with my mom and grandmother. But really, I was home this year on vacation and I didn't watch an entire show, there was no hope, no joy, no reason to watch.

I guess I just don't understand where Corday is taking this show because it's not headed down a road I have any particular desire to travel with him at this point. And it appears I'm not alone with that thought.
