My Opinion
Days
On Days I am more noticing the changes of characters rather than the overall changes in storylines.  Chloe, I am not sure what to say about this girl, boy does she have issues.  When she accused Philip of rape I couldn't believe her.  Her character has too much emotional baggage, at least it would be nice to know the reason behind it.  I have never been much of a Nicole fan, but recently I don't mind her so much.  While the idea of her and Victor together is not very pleasant, I really like seeing this side of Nicole.  Another thing that I like on the show is the chemistry between Jack and Jen.  Their interactions are some of the best on the show.

Passions
Passions what can I say?  I don't know whether to take it seriously or whether to start laughing.  Passions certainly has a sense of humor but sometimes that takes away from its serious side.  Also, while I consider myself a fairly patient person, the storylines on Passions are soooooooooo drawn out.  Personally I am tired of Charity being in hell, Kay having no soul, and all the evil in Harmony.  The place is like a broken record, and I don't blame Chad for wanting to go mad over waiting.  Passions caters to a younger audience who have a shorter attention span (on average).  If Passions continues at this glacial pace, many of these younger viewers could become bored with the show.
