I used to get SOD in the store weekly but decided to do a subscription to save money but IF i get it in the mail, I get it Tuesday or Wednesday of the NEXT week or lately not at all. I was thinking of seeing if I could switch my subscription to a digital subscription to see if that would be better... Anyone here still get SOD digitally? If so when do you get it? Thanks!

Does Nellie still do his e-zine?

So much gossip circa 2012-2013!

Sorry R6. I don't subscribe.

I had a relative that used to key the subscription info at their job & they would get cancelled issues to take home so I had a bunch of freebies up until about 2007.

I purchased the newer ones on eBay for a fraction of their cover price.

Does anyone here think that new DOOL cast member

Rachel Schank (a.k.a. Juliet) could be the new Abigail?

Will for the Win!

Smirking for the haters!

Wow, R10.

R9, She looks more like Gabi.

I miss Tripp, the runner-up.

Has Christian/Evan ever gotten shirtless on the show? I haven't watched for the last few months.

R15 Not that I can recall.

I miss Trip in those tight black jeans but when Chase leaves, it will be heartbreaking

The show really could use an infusions of young 20somethings. Ciara doesn't have a talk to. That's the way you could introduce, two cheap ($1000 an episode) 20something newbies to add to canvas. The show could also use a teen story.

I love the vets, but even I know that 50 year old Marlena shouldn't be kidnapped every other week.

On another note, could someone explain how Orpheus transferred his "Roman hate" to John. I missed the last time Orphie was in town and I it was clear back in the 80s that he hated/blamed Roman.

[quote] Ciara doesn't have a talk to.

NuCiara? A “have a talk to”?

[quote] The show could also use a teen story.

NuTeens?

Fight for your hunk, do it NOW!

[quote] 50 year old Marlena

Welcome to the DL, Dee Dee

R19, I assume r18 meant Ciara doesn’t have a girlfriend her age to hangout with & talk to.

Also, since Marlena and everyone else in Salem, transferred their love, like, dislike, hate, whatever of Roman to John, including John, I’m guessing Orpheus did so as well. Why leave him out? He can hate Roman and John, just as almost everyone likes Roman and John.

Christian and Orpheus had something to do with Adrienne’s death and Maggie’s “guilt,” right?

When is NuZoe starting? I hate this smug girl.

r23

I'm guessing it ties into the rumor of there being a 3rd baby involved in the swap

Ugh. I want Sarah suffering, not happy. No baby for her.

R18 Wasn't John Black also "Roman" for a while? I can't keep all the switcheroos on this show straight.

R16 But I thought Sonny sleep with Evan... Did that happen or was that all off screen?

Yes R26... here is synopsis. It's off the top of my head, so a few things may be a little off...

Roman Brady "died" after a fight with Stefano on a cliff on one of Steffy's islands.

About a year later (give or take) everybody wanted "The Pawn". The Pawn was a bandaged man who Victor and his henchman (Alex, Savannah, and Nurse Honeycutt) wanted to control and the ISA was also desperate to discover what the Pawn was.

Patch (then a bad guy who worked Victor) got the Pawn away from Victor and Nurse Honeycutt, and kept him hidden as leverage to get money from Victor.

The Pawn de-bandaged himself and got away from Patch.

The Pawn went to a soup kitchen where he met Marlena and called himself John Black after seeing the name on a plague on the wall.

Marlena helps John Black try to remember who he really is. He has Roman memories, but he also has a big phoenix tattoo on his sexy back. So Marlena is turned on and frightened at the same time, but begins falling in love.

We eventually learn that John Black is Roman Brady with a new face, a few inches taller, hairier, and sexier. And John also remembers that he's Roman. This is all took place during a location shoot in West Virginia, I think. Doc brings him home as Roman. Little Carrie is the only one who doubts that he is Roman, but eventually she comes around.

Fast Forward to about 1991. Doc is back from the grave and Roman is torn between Marlena and Isabella. Meanwhile... we discover a man who looks like original recipe Roman is being held in some type of jail. This man is shown video of Doc and Roman and he asks who is this impostor with his wife and kids. Freeze frame... end credits. (Remember those?)

Real Roman gets out of that jail comes to Salem... Drama and confusion ensue. Eventually we learn that he's Roman and fake Roman goes back to being John Black. We also learn this was all a big Steffy plot to destroy his greatest enemy Roman Brady. So John goes with Isabella. Real Roman gets back with Doc and they all lived happily ever after.

Then we have a story where we learn that John was really Forrest Alamain, Lawrence Alamain's presumed dead little brother.

Fast forward to about 1993, Isabella is dead from cancer and Marlena and Roman are having problems because Doc is working too much and things don't seem right between them. John and Marlena get stuck in pit for weeks thanks to Stella Lombard, and then are rescued, and guess what... old feelings resurface. John and Marlena start fucking and have a steamy affair. They break things off, Marlena is pregnant, Sami gets into the hospital computer and changes the paternity results, and John gets involved with a mystery woman named Kristen Blake. We learn that Kristen is Stefano's adopted daughter and is engaged to Stefano's son Tony (who is now retconned back to being his son again). It is also during this time we learn that Stefano tortured John and turned him into the Pawn and that John is Stefano's greatest enemy. The feud with Roman and Roman being his greatest enemy is pushed to background and then sort of forgotten. And ever since it's been John versus Stefano.

Even with the drug out of her system, Abi continues to hallucinate.

ChabbyLover, AbbyFan and ChabbyFan on Frau Central think Gabi drugged Abi, while Tiff defends Gabi, saying Abi is crazy again.

I guess this is when ManZi leaves, since Abi disappears in May.

Is Jo, Steve and Jack's mom still alive?

It's not clear.

Which child resulted from Marlena’s and John’s liaisons?

Which actor(s) played Tony?

Belle is the old child of John and Marlena. Tony has always been played by Thaao Penghlis.

Unless you are talking about Tony Merritt who was on the show in the early years and who was engaged to Marie.

Thank you, R33?

Who plays Belle?

Martha Madison

AUNT MARIE?!!!!

Who's going to tell AUNT MARIE that Maggie killed her own granddaughter??!!!!!

La Sleezak should be Aunt Marie

R27: I don't think Sonny and Evan have been shown in bed together. But I remember one relatively recent episode where Sonny grabbed Evan's hand and walked toward the boudoir. One can only speculate what happened after that.

r38

I think they had sex at least twice on screen

[quote] I think they had sex at least twice on screen

Ewwww. That would look like a beached whale humping a mannequin.

Ram = wam

Lamb = wamb

r28

Thanks for the history lesson! When Drake was hired as the pawn, was he hired as a Roman recast or did that come later?

He was hired to be Roman the whole time. The real, taller Roman.

r43

and hairier

I would still choose 1982 Roman/Wayne over Drake at his peak.

And don't forget sexier. 1986-1999 Drake could have taken me on every conference room table between here and Salem (wherever that is). Damn that man was hot.

R38 What a waste of hiring Brock not to get him shirtless... He fills out his shirt pretty well so he must look better shirtless.

So Rex came back today.

Will the return be a short one?

[quote] between here and Salem (wherever that is).

Does that include Melaswen?

R30 Steve and Jacks mom, Jo died years and years ago. They killed the character off when the last actress who was playing her in died in real life

R39: I'm sure you're right. My memory isn't what it was.

Have WilSon had sex yet since they reunited? Or is it a sexless marriage by now?

Da Strudz

Strudz II

R54, OMG! Thank you for posting those! He just gets hotter & hotter!

Is he still an actor? He should find a nuCareer that will bring him employment at least.

R56, do you know whether he speaks Mandarin?

He would have been much hotter without those trashy tattoos. People are such lemmings.

Agreed, R58.

R58 It's a mental illness! Don't blame the poor Strudel!

[quote] Steve and Jacks mom, Jo died years and years ago. They killed the character off when the last actress who was playing her in died in real life

NOT TRUE when the actress died, they had actress Marilyn McIntyre play the part of Steve and Jacks mom, Jo

And she is still very much alive

It's become rather difficult now that Sonny's chubb has disappeared under his belly.

our new triangle

will / sonny / gunt

That triangle has been going on for too long.

I Will Not Be Ignored!

At this point, everyone knows "Gunny" belong together and should get their sunset ending.

Sonny gives all chubsters out there (false) hope that they can land a Will of their own!

Props to Godfrey. She was excellent yesterday.

She really was.

And yay! for a sort-of happy Eric, Nicole and Holly.

Really nice having Rex back. Hope he sticks around.

Since the stories have moved away from the brain chip mess I am loving DAYS again.

Has Rex presented hole to Xander yet?

[quote] And yay!

Yay!

R78 Who hasn't?

OMG... can the real Kristen be returning???

No r81 it's temporary. SH was back taping before this shut down.

I prefer Eileen as Kristen

I prefer Eileen as well, but Stacy has been doing a good job. Especially with the baby switch storyline. She's given some really raw emotions in her scenes.

Haiduk is a good actress who just isn't Kristen. Her Susan is terrific, though.

Is the Rex who came back NuRex?

I’m not going to say I necessarily prefer Stacy as a Kristen, but I don’t think about Eileen as Kristen anymore.

I like Stacy now. Eileen is too picky about the role.

[quote]Is the Rex who came back NuRex?

Yes, Kyle Lowder is playing the role of Rex once again.

Thank you, R89.

Da Strudz looking worse for wear.

Da Strudz looking good. Pity about the tattoos.

Eileen left at the right time. They've destroyed Kristen's appeal as a character.

Why the stupid tats? Such a lemming.

All that's missing is a different shade of lipstick and a matching purse.

And he looks to have several new tats on his legs. RME.

Gads, he ruined his body. He must have some major issues.

Extreme tattooing is another form of body dysmorphic disorder.

Stacey must be off again. She was my Uber driver this morning.

r100

they are all off dear

R100 Was she wearing a mask? Did she make sure you had one? Did she sanitize the vehicle?

No. She was smoking and complaining about the pain her new back tattoo was causing her.

Not DAYS but I don't know of a B&B thread.

Today's classic episode of B&B from October 1997 featured a Forrester fashion show. Well, all of the songs playing during the show sounded so horribly current EDM, with vocoders all over the place. It really bothered me, so I used Sound Hound on the songs, and they were all from 2018 or more recent.

B&B took out whatever songs were playing in 1997 and replaced them with "current" music.

It really ruined the feel of the fun episode.

I know, "rights and clearances" and all that shit, but it was depressing.

I’m so sorry that happened to you r104.

It’s been a long time since I rooted for Kristen. None of this is Sara’s fault, except for stealing the baby, but I’m so fucking tired of that ugly baby and Sara’s histrionics. I yelled out, “Slap her Kristen!‘ when she showed up at the end of the episode today.

Baby Micky isn’t EVEN cute!

NuBaby?

R104, is “current” another spelling for “currant”? If so can “current” be eaten?

Is Ali McGraw's granddaughter playing Orpheus' daughter?

r104 That irritated me too!!! Part of seeing the classic episode is hearing the music that originally ran with it.

Here's the current B&B thread although it hasn't gotten much activity in recent months.

There are no calories in Current, D.O.

How did Stacy get her teeth so white? Whitening treatments once she had steady Sony/NBC paychecks?

Passions Cast Reunion today!

I just wanted to post to ask if you guys saw yesterday's episode when Ben took his shirt off. Dear Lord Jesus Hallowed be Thy Name!!!!

R114

Ben has a good body for sure but for me I prefer Xander's body. He makes me weak. Plus, Xander is sexy & fun while Ben might as well be a card board cut out. There's nothing there.

Ken doll. Pass.

Ken dolls are still fun to play with...

But some might prefer the Tarzan action figure.

Ben murders.

He gets no boner from me.

R119 It's soap "murders"... get over it.

Well, gays gotta have some fun!

Xander does have the hotter chest, mainly for the perfect chest hair. And, he loves to show it off.

Does Xander have bigger boobs than Sarah?

I am so glad they have brought back Xander as a “lead” character. I hope he stays

Paul Telfer could have been a EJ recast... Got the body, the charm and the accent.

RSW and BB are much hotter than PT for me.

RSW and BB are much hotter than PT for me.

RSW is hot but he just seems so dull and plastic

I swear RSW and VK mimic one another in scenes. They literally act just alike except VK always does that head shake thing with every line.

Who is VK?

R130 NuCiara = Victoria Konefal

[quote]RSW and BB are much hotter than PT for me.

Brandon Buddy?

R129 I remember another soap pairing who used to do that was Ryan McNeil (Scott Reeves) and Tricia Dennison (Sabryn Genet) when they were a couple on Y&R. Viewer used call them "the bobble-head dolls."

Thank you, R131.

Apparently, WilSon's already filmed scenes were completely cut out of today's episode.

I think Sarah’s memories scenes were extended.

Well it's been out that the show has wanted WilSon off for several years and also allegedly that Albert doesn't want any gay stuff on the show from any of the show's gay characters. So it's too surprising that WilSon scenes have been cut from the show r135.

I just FF through all of Sarah's baby sob story. For a baby drama it sure was boring. Should have had Rex tied up shirtlesss or better yet have shirtless Xander on the run with the baby.

R137 The scene they cut was of WilSon mourning Adrienne on the anniversary of her death. They already cut another scene of WilSon at Adrienne's grave last month and now this. There's really nothing gay about those scenes and it shows such disrespect for Adrienne to cut those scenes.

Kyler Lowder is one of those rare cases where age has really benefited him. I thought he was a monstrous looking teen and I couldn't figure out where they would cast him as John's son, but now he seems to have finally grown into his looks at 40something.

[quote] I thought he was a monstrous looking teen

Frankenstein's monster?

R140 Did he get any work done during the past decade?

Cranky Lesbians will outlive all the frivolous gays!

Good question, and I'm not sure R142. Maybe he changed his diet or something. But he's one hot daddy now.

It doesn't bother me that WilSon scenes were cut & I won't miss them when they leave.

I don't give a fuck about WilSon either but I do want to see Will some more before he leaves. Then again, the show was making Will wear that ugly brown shirt and Sonny ugly cry in these scenes, so cutting them might not be so bad after all.

Kyle Lowder had some scary lacework done within the last ten years. Either it settled or he got it corrected.

RSW's cum gutters on Monday were almost obscene! And then his booty popping out of the back of his jeans...

What does his silly shoulder tattoo say?

[quote]WilSon's already filmed scenes were completely cut out of today's episode.

I hear of scenes being cut on DOOL all the time, and I don't for the other soaps. Very strange that a show that operates on a shoestring budget films so much excess footage.

B&B and Y&R cut scenes all the time. B&B even posts the cut scenes as "bonus scenes" on YouTube. Sometimes those cut scenes add a lot of context to the current storylines.

NOW they probably wish they had padded out the episodes more and not cut a thing.

One infamous cut on Y&R was done by CBS or Sony killing a story. After several weeks of hints, Noah Newman came out as gay at his dead sister's grave. The scene was filmed, not just scripted. The actor confirms this. Before it could air, Noah was un-gayed and the actor fired.

On DAYS, they recently moved Hattie's departure scenes up one full week.

I think it says either "the original son" or "the fortunate son". Isn't it nice that RSW and Paul Telfer and now Chandler actually care about being camera ready.

As for cut scenes, I think that is a directing and editing problem. Most shows time the scripts. I'm thinking that the director and the person responsible for the final edit are making these decisions and are not consulting Ron in the process. I know that in the old days when a show ran long or short, they would call the HW to either add or subtract. I think the fact that Ron is not in LA and is not a producer contributes to him being an afterthought in the process. And someone is clearly not editing the summary for TV guide.

Alarr hates the gays. Film at 11.

R150

Ron has said he has no control over the editing of the show. He has even gone so far as tweeting what the scenes were that were cut.

R151 He must hate Adrienne as well seeing how both WilSon scenes he cut recently were really about honoring Adrienne's memories.

R147 RSW's tattoo says "The Only Son." I believe I read it's in praise of his mama. He;s had it for years and years.

I'm pretty shocked at next week's write up in SOD.

Maggie send Victor a goodbye letter. The tone frightens him & he sends Xander to the prison to check on her. When he gets there she has hanged herself. Xander gets her down & revives her.

That's a pretty harrowing depiction of a suicide attempt. I'm surprised they didn't go with the standard overdose. Drugs are available in prison. I commend them for pushing the boundaries because suicide is not pretty or easy.

I love the Xander/Maggie scenes. They have great chemistry together.

[quote] Xander gets her down & revives her.

R155, where's Dr. Rolf when he's needed?

Maggie should take Xander as a lover.

#Xaggie #Magder #Xandgie #Magger #MaXaKi #MaX #XaMa

RSW’s teeth are so white!

r155

are you kidding??

Maggie hangs herself but survives. Then she finds out Christian and Orpheus set her up for Adrienne’s death.

R158 Now that's soapy! The Fraus will love it... even though they will say it's inappropriate.

Brock Kelly exits next week! What a waste! We never got him shirtless!

Thank you r162, thank you very much...

There is this contingent of fans who really hate Maggie for some odd reason. They are going to love this story. They seem to think she eats the show, with her one episode (if that) a week. Very strange.

Love it? Maggie survives AND gets cleared for killing Adrienne and the baby.

What’s to love?

Do Maggie and Marlena ever appear in any scenes together?

Jesus, that is dark as hell! I don't want to see Maggie hanging herself! No wonder Suzanne Rogers said she lost 20 pounds doing the storyline. What a total nightmare!

Poor Strudz.

r167

not anymore!

Soaps don't allow actors to go over their guarantees anymore. On Days, more so than other shows, this has created story islands. Maggie is in certain stories and Marlena is in certain stories. Despite having a decades long friendship, the two rarely share scenes these days. And the idiots who think that Maggie is somehow stealing Marlena's scenes, need to understand the economics of the situation. Guarantee versus guarantee and salary versus salary. If Dee made what Suzanne made, you would see her more.

I wonder if they age ever plays a factor, it must be hard to remember lines as you get older... I'm in my mid 40s and my memory isn't what it used to be

[quote]If Dee made what Suzanne made, you would see her more.

Dee appeared in 91 episodes in 2019, Suzanne in 55.

The ones who hate Maggie are the hard core John/Marlena fans. That's really laughable considering John/Marlena are so catered to.

ISSHC

Rumors say Xander finds Maggie in her cell after she tries to suffocate herself with her own wig.

I hate Maggie AND John but LOVE Marlena!!!!

Dr. Marlena Evans and Sami DiMera are my decades-long favorites.

R151

[quote] Poor Strudz.

He bemoans “Quaranhair”, but hey did much more damage to his body and career with those horrid, nasty tattoos.

I am loving this show. Whoever wrote the dialogue for Eli and Lani's scenes on Thursday's show hit it out of the park. Love that Marlena treats Ben like a grandson, and can't wait for Maggie to jump off that top bunk with her prison commissary hose tied around her neck.

Anyone see Brandon in his undies?

Why was bitch Zoe fired and replaced?

R182 queen Jason47 says it was scheduling issues.

WHET Addie Horton Williams?

Some lunatic came for Paul Telfer tonight. She was pissed about Days being on lockdown for COVID. He started out trying to explain but then it snow balled & the woman became a real cunt.

After he had gone through the info: entire state is on lock down, the risks, the show is taped 6 months ahead, etc..She would not stop. He remained calm but he got forceful when he asked if she was willing to put Suzanne & John's lives at risk. She said the show should just write them out. Another poster said Days has a large vet cast. Paul said 65 & older are vulnerable plus Days have younger ones who are cancer survivors.

This cunt did not care. He finally got sarcastic with her. By that time she was getting dragged by other folks. I wanted to read her entire TL because I'd bet $100 she was a Trumpster. She was getting dragged so much she closed her account. WTF is wrong with people?

R185 I see one deleted tweet from a "joanna_mazewski" was quoted by Paul saying "With fans like these..." That must be the troublemaker.

Her profile at Cafe Mom.

[quote] Joanna is a mother, warrior, writer, and dreamer who has a thing for her family, Mad Men, social media, green tea-flavored Kit Kat bars, and, well, whatever her kids are watching. When she's not dishing the dirt about her favorite celebrities, she's most likely spending time with her two kids or amusement park hopping in Orlando.

She must be a warrior because that face looks like it’s gone through some battles

R189, LOOL! :)

90% of her posts are about the Kardashians. I think that's all we need to know.

I’m glad Deidre wasn’t lumped in with the oldsters at risk from the Coronavirus.

R192

Bitch, please! Dee is in her 70s

All I could think about when reading that chick's callous remarks is that she is the personification of that Texas politician. He said the elderly would gladly give up their lives to get the economy back on track. What trash.

^^^ That god-awful Dan Patrick. A smug pig. I am all in favor of Dan's giving his own life to kickstart the economy.

Also, I think JM looks like Christina Ricci's ugly sister.

I wish I could find another site that has DAYS DVDs for sale. iOffer used to have entire years and storylines available but that site shut down.

I want the full Salem Stalker storyline from 2003-2005, my favorite era of the show.

That must be a typo and they actually meant 1974.

R200 dyslexia is a very real thing. Pray for R199 😈😃

There used to be tons of old school DOOL from the 80's, on YouTube, and that's how I discovered the show. In particular, the Salem Slasher storyline that kicked off with Renee Dimera being knifed in the back at her own engagement party.

Some queen named PanicDiscoStarr sells storylines and years of DAYS episodes.

The Salem Stalker is 37 DVDs for $110.

Marlena's Possession is $55.

What else is there to watch this Summer anyway? I am OVER Netflix and Amazon Prime. Back to Classic DAYS for me!

Really disappointed with the whole Evan/Christopher storyline. What a waste of hunky Brock Kelly!

I'd love to see The Salem Strangler, The Riverfront Knifer, Carrie/Sami/Austin's story and Marlena/John/Kristen stories on DVD.

Just the thought of watching SD video makes me cringe!

WHET Addie Horton Williams?

Addie's been dead since 1974. The year Dee Hall was born.

R185 That lunatic woman attacking PT might possibly end up getting what she wants. Days is probably going to have the most difficult time out of the 4 soaps. Especially if they have to implement similar rules like those on Australian soap Neighbours.

No actors over 65

No hand holding

No kissing or sex scenes

No more slapping

Social distancing

No makeup for men and minimum makeup for women

Nurse on set/temperature checks

Separating actors into groups

[quote] Addie's been dead since 1974.

Yes, but how did she die? What was her story?

Why did we not see a “reunion” of Christian/his sister and Marlena... she took care of them when they were kids.

[quote]No makeup for men and minimum makeup for women

Oh my!

[quote]Yes, but how did she die? What was her story?

Addie and Tommy Horton are twins.

Addie marries Ben Olson in 1946

Addie and Ben live in the wealthy section of Salem, near the river.

Addie and Ben have two children Julie and Stephen.

Addie and Ben care about money and appearances.

Addie and Ben move to Europe.

Addie returns to Salem years later and gets involved with Doug Williams marries him.

Addie has a late in life pregnancy and gives birth to Hope Williams

Addie gets cancer and goes into remission

One day while pushing Hope in her stroller a car zooms down the road and Addie pushes Hope's stroller out of the way and is hit by a car and dies.

Doug and Julie raise Hope

In 1983 Hope is SORAS'd and comes to town as sort of a brat who wants to get her hands on the trust fund that Addie left her. One of things that people don't realize about Hope is that she is really wealthy even though she lives a pretty middle class lifestyle.

Julie is Hope's Mother/Sister.

Thank you, R213.

[quote] Addie and Ben live in the wealthy section of Salem, near the river.

Is it near Horton Town Square?

[quote] Addie and Ben live in the wealthy section of Salem, near the river.

Does it have a counterpart in Melaswen?

R212 That would require character-driven writing. Evan/Christian and sis were just plot devices from start to finish, though Brock did put some effort into his role. He almost made me believe Evan would give Sonny a second glance.

R135 This week's deleted WilSon scene now on DOOLApp.

[quote] Addie and Ben live in the wealthy section of Salem, near the river.

Is that the same river that Sami, Kate, and Gabi threw Nick's body in?

That scene was hilarious.

Brock needs intensive acting lessons. Or a new career.

Aiden bilked Hope out of a lot of money and knew he’d inherit millions as her husband when she died.

I don't know if this thread is paywalled or not. If we have a new thread could you link it?

Judi Evan has had a bad horseback riding accident & is hospitalized. She broke her collarbone, 7 ribs, 2 vertebrae and has a collapsed lung.

Found a link:

And didn't Judi's son die less than a year ago?

^^^

In December

I’m hoping one of you guys will humor me. Can some please breakdown the (new, incl. Orpheus) chain of events that are the baby switch/Maggie jail story?

It’s super confusing to me.

Maggie never even drank. Her "sobriety," which is more important than killing Adrienne or the baby, is intact.

She was about to gulp down some vodka at the Kiriakis mansion before going to the hospital for Sarah, but Orpheus and Christian chloroformed her before the booze could even touch her lips. They wanted to kidnap David and decided to blackmail Victor for some money as well by kidnapping Maggie.

They took the unconscious Maggie in her car (along with the bottle of vodka) and drove off. Christian was a little uncomfortable with this kidnapping (although he'd already murdered Jordan) and got into a tiff with his dad, which made Orpheus swerve, causing Maggie's car to drive Adrienne and Sarah off the road. With Maggie's car crashed, Christian and Orpheus put the chloroformed and unconscious Maggie behind the wheel and put the vodka bottle in her hand. They scurried off.

Xander found Maggie that way, thus thinking she was the drunk driver, but she wasn't driving and wasn't drunk.

Maggie is exonerated and she remains Salem's most pious "alcoholic."

Days queen Jason47 says Daytime Emmys is still happening but will be virtual and will be broadcast on CBS in June. The nominations will be announced tomorrow.

r228

it has been announced in lots of places today... SOD, Daytime confidential etc

CBS must really be getting desperate for any kind of new content to agree to broadcast the Daytime Emmys again.

R221 Poor Judi gets fired from the show, her son dies before 2019 is finished & now this.

I hope no one has put a curse on her.

Thank you r227

DAYS is the most entertaining hour of television currently airing, daytime or prime time.

FCF was bored today.

Another year another Emmy nom for Chambo. Really great to see Paul Telfer get some recognition.

Mark Grossman should win.

Chan, Paul, and Wally are probably going to cancel each other out. That Bryton guy, I don't know how he keeps getting nominated. I think this is Mark Grossman's to lose. Chandler should give classes on how to put together a reel.

R237 Didn't Chandler say once his mother helps him pick the scenes for the Emmy reel? Does that mean his mother was watching him kissing guys for all these years?

R237 Let the others win. Chandler doesn't need another Emmy anyway. Right now he's more concerned about playing Pokemon.

Four weddings and a funeral this summer... It's the same old same old. The show has taped up to September, so only four more months of material to go!

^^

They're further along than September. They had taped into November.

Hi Ron/R233.

That article disclosed more than I expected. I'm looking forward to Claire's return (something I never would have said until she went crazy).

I'm hoping that they get Allie right. Ron says they make her on the young side of a legal age. I'm not sure what the means. I guess you can't have teenage temptresses on soaps any longer. Characters like teen Sami and teen Laura from GH couldn't be written today.

The Fraus at Soap Central are demanding this be a LUMI storyline, even though it will be an ERIC storyline with just a tiny bit of Lucas.

R241 Didn't they halt production in Feb/March? Add in the seven month lead, that would mean the show has taped up to Sept/October, right?

With Evan gone, the show is down one more young hunk. Instead we're getting crazy Claire (who admittedly could be entertaining) and Sami spawn Allie back?

Chandler said that HALLOWEEN was done.

Will WilSon get to stick around for Halloween?

CB: “Happy for people that are nominated! Not being nominated for something I know I deserved recognition is an interesting feeling but honestly I already feel like I have even won multiple emmy’s with the kind of support and love I get shown everyday by so many people.“

FCF says his final episode looks to be airing September 1. Queen Jason says he may not be taking into account a previously scheduled pre-emption, and it could actually be August 31.

When it rains it pours on poor Judi. She's still hospitalized with all her broken bones & punctured lung. The doctors found an embolus in her lung when they were doing scans.

The doctors said it is not related to her accident but the doctors said her accident probably saved her life because of the scans they did. Her husband can't visit because of COVID.

What grift does FCF have planned next?

Emmy nominations for Days were spot on. So happy for Paul Telfer... he’s really come a long way than just a muscled piece of meat

Paul Telfer is so fetch!

R253 He and the future Mrs. FCF have talked about their desire to relocate to that sinkhole known as Florida. And someone is desperately trying to become a social media influencer.

If Camilla were nominated, it would have been perfect. I applaud her for submitting in the proper category. In the Best Actress category, Finola Hughes, KK Lang, and Heather Tom didn't do anything last year. Camilla should have had one of those spots.

R253 Oh, and they'll soon be selling T-shirts that promote their youtube podcast, "The Freddie & Alyssa Show." .. She was wearing one earlier this week and said they hope to begin selling them next month.

WHO would buy those shirts?

Fraus? Sad gays?

Paul Telfer's IG Story featured Chambo and Rob Wilson.

I think Chad drugged Abby.

R241 Yesterday, Queen Jason said they have 19 weeks left. Counting out, this would take the show to the week of September 28-October2. There's something about Days now being broadcast during the weeks when they were supposed to be off for the Summer Olympics and the French Open. So that probably changed things.

R262 Jason should know. He keeps a list of production dates for the show for years. I am surprised he's not an employee of the show.

He's not? So he's.....just a fan?

R264 Soap fans are devoted nuts.

He's a superfan.

He also did it for Passions.

His tribute website for the show is still up.

Telfer , his wife & some Broadway friends are doing an IG Live today.

Queen Jason 47 has connections with the show. He’s an unofficial publicist and archivist.

The show is advertizing 4 weddings and a funeral this summer.

Any guesses who the funeral might be?

If Rafe doesn't fall in love with Zoe and leave Salem with her and David, then I thing Rafe will die since GG is leaving the show.

Does anyone know if JKJ is coming back to the real show?

Even if you have goodlooking parents, it doesn’t mean the offspring will be as attractive.

We wish all our non-employees would put in 80 hours a week and work for free!

R269 I think it's Victor that dies.

He's been in the Salem hospital twice now in less than 5 months.

They say Sarah & Brady will try to get revenge on him & I think he is murdered around that time.

Will, Sonny, Maggie, Kristen, Eric & Nicole also all have beefs with him. If Xander gets fired from his dream job that adds one more to the list.

I think the show is going for a "Who shot Victor?" like Dallas did with JR. The folks that have a grudge against him keep climbing.

Rumors are that 86 year old John Aniston wants to retire.

R261 I think a returning Vivian framed her dead son's widow for the drugging of Abby.

I love it when Victor just says what’s on his mind, usually it’s what the audience is thinking.

I still remember Victor’s first episode and the music that was playing.

R270 Who is JKJ?

Nowadays the DL usually paywalls DOOL threads after 4 weeks (about 28 days give or take)

so probably a new thread will pop up in the next week & a half.

R247 With Christian/Evan now riding off into the sunset,

TPTB must think the gay guys wanna tune in

to see Maggie's withered hands up close & personal.

R279

I'm as gay as a lavender draped Cher doll and I'm was way more interested in Maggie's story than anything WilSon have done in forever. This gay guy can't wait for them to ride off into a rainbow sunset.

Hopefully we'll get some better gays afterward. Better looking & more compelling gay characters.

I've also been thinking lately that Chad is responsible for Abby's drugging and Gabi's framing; it even sounded like Rolf hinted at it to Gabi the other day.

I didn't watch the show for a couple of weeks (DOOL fatigue), so I didn't see the episodes showing how Chad got over his Stefano "possession," but for those of you who did, is it possible Chad set this in motion while under the influence or that he might still be under the influence?

I think Chad was permanently turned. I don’t think he’s under control.

However, Rolf assured Stefano that he had a backup plan when he took out the chip from Steve’s brain, so maybe Rolf does have control.

I enjoy badass Chad and despise him with Abby.

[quote] I still remember Victor’s first episode and the music that was playing.

Yesssss! I remember that, too! Early Victor, with his creepy, menacing "If I can't have the mother, then I will have the daughter" vibe.

The whole Kim/Shane/Victor/Caroline/Bo/Baby Andrew storyline was one of the most well-executed storylines, ever. It spanned nearly two years (til the reveal that Shane was indeed Andrew's bio-father) At one point, Kimberly thought she might be Victor & Caroline's "love child"....and was possibly pregnant by Victor.... and came this ][ close to aborting Andrew.

It was soapy as HELL!! Good times!

R236, Grossman's acting skills are limited.

As are Camila’s. I don’t understand the uproar over her not being nominated.

The crazy Cin fangirls are also upset that VK and RSW weren't nominated. R285 it's the "Stabirella " fangirls who most upset about Camilla not being nominated. Camilla has gotten into a few Twitter fights because she believed almost any criticism about the character Gabi was an attack on her.

Camila needs a social media break. She’s a mess and clearly isn’t acting on DOOL. But I wish she was as good an actress and she believes she is.

And I heard VK didn’t submit because Younger Performer is basically a participation award. Not that she had anything to submit...

I’m having trouble following some of the storylines lately, especially the Orpheus stuff. I know his backstory and I remember the original story in the 80s.

But this time, I’m really confused. I’ve tried to watch it with the ‘closed captioning’ turned on so I don’t miss any dialogue.

When Rafe, Hope & Zoe were together yesterday in the warehouse right before the gun went off, what was Zoe talking about? My nephew, my son, my nephew, my son...Rafe & Hope didn’t seem surprised by what she said.

When was this revealed? Im so lost.

It was mentioned before that Zoe had a kid and an ex-husband.

Damn, Orpheus was HOT back in the day! He's still sexy now!

Sonny and Will had a bed scene today, but after their torrid lovemaking, Sonny was wearing a black t-shirt while Will was shirtless.

R290 torrid lovemaking...LMAO

So torrid it hurts...

They keep a photo of Adrienne on their nightstand? That's gotta be weird looking at that while getting railed from behind.

Who’s doing who because they’re both bottoms. It’s probably mutual sucking since Sonny is always dressed which is why both look elsewhere to get railed.

Will is the top with Sonny but bottomed for Paul(and everyone else)

They have to put Sonny in "camera-slimming black" ... even after Memorial Day?

Couldn't they have gone with a lighter-colored, V-Neck with vertical stripes?

Days has several zaddys at the moment - Clyde, Orpheus, Steve, Justin and Dr. Rolf.

Those Grandpas are all in their 60s and 70s.

[quote] Will is the top with Sonny but bottomed for Paul (and everyone else).

Yes, Will even bottomed for Gabi, as she had to climb on top and turn around for some reverse cowboy, so he wouldn't be looking directly at her.

He squinted and pretended she was Mario Lopez.

I though Will was pretending she was Rafe or Chad.

In the earliest days of Chandler, Will had a workout scene with Rafe (his step daddy) and Will was all enamored and goggly-eyed. Chandler was hired with the intention of Will coming out as gay and Chandler knew that from Day One.

Around the same time, Will also vowed to do anything to help his best friend, OldCircuitBoiChad. "Don't you know I'd do anything - ANYTHING! - to help you, Chad??!!!" Chandler shrieked.

It was after the horrible, boring sex with Gabi that Will refused to have sex with her anymore, preferring to play video games. And then he fell for his other step daddy, EJ.

That works as well, R300.
