December Gatherings On DOOL...

Poor Uncle Vic had been failing for a long time. RIP.

Ha ha, I just watched A Very Salem Christmas over the weekend, and it was great.

Dr. Tripp looked really good today.

Maggie needs to chop half her hair off and let it go white already. She'd look younger!

Dr. Sweetness looked less like Dr. Stinkface in today's episode.

They should give her a new twin, split personality, or even amnesia.

Heck, even a hobby as a local stage actress would be something to consider.

Maybe the actress has been bored with the role for a while now.

"Kayla" seemed quite refreshed as an Ava double.

That was quite an elaborate bar set for one scene. They had a new dining set in the last few days, too. Did they get an influx of cash six months ago?

R6 They got some cash from lots of DLers but didn't spend it on the things that we wanted.

If you notice in the Winter preview they have a pretty elaborate rooftop set for Marlena to die watching movies with John (I'm sure it will double for flashbacks of Chanel's story). The bar scene was impressive, and I'm sure we'll see it again. With Reckell, Alfonso and Burton returning, Peacock is obvs putting some money into the show. I'm not sure what R7 wanted, other than a fresh douche.

They could use that bar set to bring back the Cheatin' Heart. I also wish they would bring back the pier set.

A porn studio to celebrate the liberating network that it has crashlanded on numbnuts.

; )~ @ R7

That FAT fuck talentless Giddens was all over todays episode with Susan and Bonnie reading each others mind. So fucking stupid! And they wonder why soaps are going off the air. Not to mention ghost Charlie. Stupid stupid stupid.

Hopefully Mar-Devil comes Christmas caroling in Salem this year.

R3 And Anna perving on Dr. Tripp… she probably made up her carpal tunnel just to ogle the sexy doctor! That came out of nowhere but was an amusing diversion from how dumb the kidnap plot was getting.

Spoiler says Ava is doing a Thelma and Louise with Susan next week.

Shusan can read Ava’s mind. Come on Days. Do better!

Susan can only read the minds of the empty-headed.

Explosive preview! And a cliffhanger... get it?

Oh dear, looks like Victor's last scene will be with Leo in December...

So has any former co-stars like Jenn Fil-A or Christopher Sean commented on John's recent death?

R20 Jenn Fil-A, FCF, and Strudel did.

R20 Christopher Sean had posted something to his Instagram stories.

Drake just posted something for John...

They had to glue John’s hair on whenever he worked. He was bald as a Q-ball.

When will Suzanne get her real hair back?!?

I know Xander is in a towel a lot, but today's scene when he came out of the shower he looked really fucking hot.

I rubbed one out while looking at Xander. Whoa!

r27

R8 Maybe it was just whatever filter they put on the preview, but that "elaborate rooftop set" looked like some kind of green screen or CGI to me.

Long sweat pants?

Memo to wardrobe: Next time Xander comes out of the shower, put him in a terry cloth wrap.

R27 Was it a towel full lol

....

Looks more like "Day of Gays" than "Day of Days."

R32 Thanks for the replay.

Does anyone know when Anna pops back up again?

Random Monday night thought: Is anyone else surprised that Ron hasn't tried to do his version of The Cruise of Deception? It would seem right up his alley. Maybe the show can't afford a cruise ship set.

SPOILERS... A boring November ends and a hopefully less boring December begins.

I see Maggie got another wig from the Dottie West collection.

It sure was…full, R37.

Naggie needs someone to rip that rug off her head. It’s too much.

r39

Today had a little of everything. Good times.

Oh no! Susan’s dead!!!!!

r42

not this means a lot on DOOL but did anyone see that Nicole is leaving?

R42 Susan is just goin ahead so she can greet the 3 Fraus of Salem in heaven. What fun! Now I want to see Dr. Tripp deal with his mother's demise.

Nevaeh.

Link R44 ? If true, Nicole will be back. I won't miss her though, especially with Bo and Hope returning for a while.

R45 Dr. Tripp grieves off screen… He should really be going after EJ.

Ava's not dead. She confronts EJ next Monday.

the fireman was a hot daddy.. He should comfort EJ

Today's ep is only 31 min long. Could have used some scenes of Dr. Tripp getting the news about Ava and Stayla comforting him instead of it all being off screen.

R49 Wasn't Ava confronting EJ a spoiler for this week?

Yes, but Daytime Royalty has it several times listed for Monday, November 28.

A mess-up? But it's from a few different sources. I dunno.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for Eric and Nicole? This great love story just isn't working for me. The only thing that has come out of it is Rafe is somewhat interesting now. Jada hasn't been on long enough for us to give a rat's ass about her, not really.

Why feel sorry for Nicole when the FIRST thing she does is hop in bed with EJ?

She DESTROYED Rafe and probably turned him gay, hence the DL bitchiness, and she can't even focus on her daughter and give Eric a little time to deal with becoming a father?

She's a HORRIBLE character, and Sami should have killed her after the Sydnapping.

NuCole?

BTW, Nicole allegedly leaves in April. Daytime Royalty did a big investigation into the source, who is usually spot on, but has gotten a few things wrong recently.

I hope Nicole is gone.

[quote]Are we supposed to feel sorry for Eric and Nicole?

Nicole and Rafe's courtship/love story took place mostly offscreen, so there's no investment in that relationship. Jada is basically a cipher whose character hasn't been fleshed out at all. So it's hard to feel anything for any of them.

[quote] the fireman was a hot daddy.. He should comfort EJ

R50, could not agree more...

I like Jada, a lot.

I wonder if Ari is heading into the woods with her partner/guru Shawn Christian to start their own "community"? Their life coach shit is weird.

I would like Jada more if she was some chick that Eric met in Africa, fucked, and showed up in Salem with his baby. All we know about Jada is that she's Marcus' daughter and she's a cop. There was zero character development, before she's thrown into a relationship with Eric. The greatest thing about soap opera is writers have the time to develop characters, there was no thought given to her character.

I bet Ava and Susan are going to be found alive on the mountain - thrown from the car before it burst into flames. They just kind of looked at the fire and assumed they were dead.

The last girl Eric met and fucked in Africa practically ruined the show with her dollar tree elephant full of whatever.

Vee, who’s in the biz, fired Ari Zucker. Ver is in the biz, you know.

Ver?

Vee transitioned into Ver... Doncha know?

Somebody had to go to pay for Bope's return, of course.

R53 Maybe it's Ava's ghost taunting EJ... It would be a waste of an explosion to not let Ava "die" for a while.

I would like Jada more if she was some guy that Eric met in Africa, fucked, and showed up in Salem to pound his ass some more.

Unless something changed, I remember that Arianne only agreed to come back if she was on recurring status, which in turn became heavy recurring, for she didn't want to be bogged down with a contract. So if she's actually leaving again, it's probably her decision. Not saying recurring characters can't get let go lol because they most certainly do, on several shows. I'm just wondering if in this case, it's her choice.

I like the actress & Nicole )when the writes aren't having her do the millionth thing in a row) &

hope that she takes Dullsville Eric with her if she is leaving.

Johnny says in the below video = "...surrounded by loved ones, family & friends". A bit redundant LOL!

A sneaky DiMera tribute =

Anna returns (in a promo of all things) =

I missed MAGA Gabi with her momma =

so let me understand here, Alex called Adrienne's mom, grandma Jo YET he didn't know Stephanie as his cousin??

god I feel like the incest troll but Alex and Steph grew up as cousins!!! Steph could be with Chad instead of Alex

I think the character of Nicole is no longer needed, but I do love her in scenes with Abe. It's the only time I tolerate her.

As for Alex and Stephanie, they're not blood related, so I don't give a rats ass. I have blood cousins that I know nothing about, didn't grow up with and never see. It's really a minor point in that story. However, stuffing muffins sounds gross.

While this EJ is not nearly as good looking as the real EJ, he does look better when his hair is natural.

I LOVE Dan's natural hair, too! When he was all feral after Susan's "death," his hair was so sexy.

I wanna see Li dig Nicole's pumpkin pie out of the trash.

Dan stole FOWBF's Emmy this week.

And his Oscar?????

Not yet, dear, pay attention. They're still on TV.

It's nice to see Marlena show some appreciation of Susan by putting the Marbie doll on the mantel. The show usually had Marlena seem slightly annoyed or inconvenienced whenever Susan popped up in her life.

Loved Marlena's scenes with EJ today.

R83 Never really knew they were that close. Always thought Jarlena had some disdain for EJ and his dirty Dimera business.

r84

they aren't but Susan and Marlena are pretty good friends

EJ has been Marlena’s son-in-law for over a decade.

R86 One is allowed to dislike one's (ex) son-in-law. Remember when ex-son-in-law EJ was "grooming" Will, Marlena was not pleased at all.

Days must be doing well on Peacock for the Chief Marketing Officer from Peacock to show up at Day of Days.

Dec SPOILERS: Sonny and Leo bond... Eww!

R88 Her office is in Los Angeles, and didn't NBC's Bruce Evans always show up for these events when he was the network exec in-charge of Days?

Leo and Sonny need to fuck again.

R90 I guess if Peacock was footing the bill for the free fan event, then she should be there.

R97 Leo is age-inappropriate for NuSonny! They played uncle and nephew on Y&R!

Still, it's nice to see Marlena break away from John's hip to go be with someone in need.

Was this the first time the two actors appeared together in a lengthy conversation? I can't remember.

This is why Marlena won't break away from John's hip...

CM interview talking about Days and his Hallmark Xmas movie.

Chambo?

Dumbo Chambo. He’s still around?

That fat bitch interviewer is exhausting, and proves that just because you can have a podcast doesn't mean you should.

Chandler is so charming.

[quote]Chandler is so charming.

I agree 100%. Love him. Not many actors could get me to sit through a Hallmark Xmas movie podcast.

Nicole was just total trash today.

I really cannot stand this character.

r101 r102

LeAnn Hunley was stunningly beautiful back in the day! like a old 1940's classic movie star look...

speaking of marlena and susan always thought how generous it was of Marlena to be friends with susan since you know back in the day, susan, dressed up like Kristen and fucked super stud john black without him knowing it until later.... marlena and john basically excused her little kinky dirty sex plan because susan was a "victim" too and not all together there?...have to say it was and remains kinky pervy hot that ugly buck tooth weirdo susan captured and conquered the handsome hairy chested cocky sex machine salem stud john black sexually, and she knows it and so does he! HE LOVED her puss until he found out it wasn't beautiful kristen, but susan later on!... what a power trip for someone like susan to do this to someone like john black!... love this!...

Dumb Chambo and his dumb one word answers. How many worfs will it take Chambo to say ‘duiuhhhhhh’. He’s so fucking stupid.

Worf

What's happening with Dr Marlena? Is she still getting work as a Psychiatrist after her latest possession?

[quote] They played uncle and nephew on Y&R!

Just barely.. .. By the time Zach Tinker was cast as NuFen on Y&R (late 2018), Greg Rikaart had already been bumped to recurring status, and his Kevin Fisher character was off-canvas living incognito in Portland, Oregon (with Chloe). .. Subsequently, when EP Mal Young took over as head writer, he opted to cut the planned Fen Baldwin and Ana Hamilton storyline. It had just started, and he had other things he wanted to do, so both Zach and Lauren Lott (Ana) were cut (early 2019).

As it worked out, Zach and Greg have only appeared in ONE episode together. It was about nine months later during a Baldwin Family New Years Day (2020) scene. Kevin and Chloe were back recurring at that point and had gathered the family together to announce they were going to have another baby. Fen arrived to the party a little late. He'd just gotten out of rehab. Kevin and Fen shared about four inconsequential lines together. That's it.

R109, if only you could apply that ability to store knowledge to physics.

If Susan is supposedly in Heaven, does that mean Ava is in Hell with Charlie?

Is Dr. Rolf going to bring Susan back from the dead?

Dumbo Chambo is in a movie that runs on Hallmark at 6 pm on a Saturday. Dumbo couldn’t even get the prime spot. Stupid ass. Yup - I don’t like dumb Chambo. He’s a moron.

Just how dumb is Chambo?

Too dumb for words. Watch his interviews. No one’s home up there. It took him 12 years to graduate college.

Who or what is Soapsudz?

That doll is no joke, and it really looks like her!

Vee, who’s in the biz, has banned Pervertsudz and Icky Vicky Fuckton from SON. And crazy Donnadora too. Vee is in the biz.

Gay DAYS on Hallmark today with movies starring OldChad, Chandler attempting heterosexuality, and Brant Daughtery.

Chandler eats the wifey’s snatch. He’s hetero.

Vee who is in the biz gave Errol an ultimatum: ban pervsudz, vicky, and kookoo or no more ratings.

r120 r121

r122

r123

I can’t wait for Scoche Marin to bring Katherine Chancellor over to DAYS. It will be looking a lot like Christmas in Salem.

Brant Daugherty is ridiculously hot. And the definition of purses falling out of the mouth.

Stephanie doesn't seem to be using Alex to get over what never happened with Chad. She looks happy with Alex.

Chad should be with Sonny.

r127

Chad and Sonny would be a great couple

R124

R117 It's uncanny, the doll makers got the nose just right. Deidre said Marbie was much happier with her hair brushed out.

CM looking good in these photos shared by the producer of his Xmas movie...

I'm a fan of Chandler's new hair cut. He looks really good on him.

Poor dumbo Chambo. 10 years of college and he still has that DUH personality.

Xander's special reminder =

Who's that woman playing Chandler's mother in those pictures?

Is it 10 years or 12 years of college for Chambo?

Chambo’s an expert in mandolin. lol

R135 His movie love interest does look matronly... if that's what you mean.

I'm really old...but Eva's car crash looks like it was borrowed from one of many crashes caused by Toonces the Driving Cat!

wonder why the promos are so late since the move to Peacock

People are probably on Thanksgiving break or maybe the Xander shirtless promo is it for this week.

Xander should have taken off his pants as well.

Maybe we should volunteer to take his pants off for him.

So judging by the previews, Ciara may return on her own, while leaving Ben on the boat with the baby.

With Bo and Hope returning, they'd have to have Ciara pop in for a proper reunion, of sorts. Beemer and Madison were hinting in their Day of Days interview that Shawn has a big story coming up, which seems to fit.

When does their holiday episode(s) taped after they relocated to Peacock air?

R145 Absolutely lol Ciara's return is imperative to the story. The Ben/Alex switch is what I was alluding to, how Ben apparently won't be around.

During the holidays.

[quote] Beemer and Madison were hinting in their Day of Days interview that Shawn has a big story coming up.

Hopefully, this is when we learn from the visiting Ciara that she discovered that her absent husband, Ben, and her brother, Shawn-Douglas, have been sexting non-stop since she and Ben left Salem.

Only on The Cock!

R146 The upcoming holiday episodes were taped (around June/July) before the move to Peacock was announced in August. Even after the move, the episode would still be taped six months or so ahead of streaming, unless Days changes its taping schedule radically, which doesn't seem to be happening. At least, there hasn't been any rumors of any change.

Jason47, queen homo that he is, has the schedule.

Please someone give me a Marlena update?

R142 Xander couldn't take his pants off because he was going commando!

Oh mother of gawd! Chandler was AWFUL in that movie. Beyond terrible.

NuCiara?

Chandler has 3 Emmys!

R154 And you watched an awful movie for Chandler... FOOL I mean LOOL

[quote] LOOL

LOOL! :)

[quote] Chandler has 3 DAYTIME Emmys!

Fixed.

Yes. Chandler has 3 DAYTIME Enmys. It’s not hard to win one. Even Freddie Smith won one.

Were all of Chandler’s for Best Male Newcomer or something similar?

Emmy doesn't give out awards for Best Male Newcomer.

That's Soap Opera Digest.

R161 They were all for Outstanding Younger Actor. I recall a couple of years the slate was pretty slim (four nominees?). His first win was deserving, though.

But imho - the last year, was pretty questionable. Daniel Polo at Y&R should have won. His performance was very memorable, quite heartbreaking.

Always wait for the Chandler screencaps or clips. Never watch his movies since they usually suck and his roles are boring/hetero.

Thanks, R163.

Any shirtless Chandler in this movie or does it fail in that department as well?

You're joking. It's Hallmark Christmas. It's all about how many layers of Lands' End winter clothing they can dress these actors in.

R167 Oh well, at least his hair looked better in this movie, If only they made him shave his beard.

R167 Picture it.... Hallmark Xmas... gay-looking Chandler and the lesbian-looking love interest are fucking in many layers of Lands' End winter clothing.

Get your hand off my gay husband, woman!

The only thing I noticed -- before turning this blah movie off after 35 minutes -- is that Chandler's forehead looked quite weird, like it wasn't moving. He's not using Botox already is he?

Even in that gif, you can see him raise his eyebrows and there's no line(s) on his forehead.

R171 Did Dee influence him into getting botox at 30 something? LOOL

[quote] LOOL

LIOL! :)

I watched the movie. It was fine, for what it was - they're not breaking any new ground over at the Hallmark Channel. It's a formula and Chandler fit perfectly into that formula. Chandler looked really good and there were no signs of Botox or any other types of fillers. This is the first time that I thought the beard worked for him, even though I still prefer him clean-shaven.

I've never watched DOOL or paid any attention to these threads, but I saw this picture of Thaao Penghlis and if he's still on it, I might start watching! Off to go read about him now.

That picture of Thaao is about 40 years old. Maybe more. But that's about what he looked like when he joined the show in 1981.

R174 I thought Chandler looked very gay in this movie. Even more than when playing gay Will.

R177 It must be the perfectly styled hair, the perfectly trimmed beard and he's perfectly dressed in WASP attire.

A Tale Of Two Christmases (or as I call it A Lesbian and her Two Gay Boyfriends) is on the COCK!

Poor Chandler still can’t act to save his life.

Something like this R169 and R167

R181 The Lesbian helping the Gay! How cute!

These grieving scenes are fine, but they're meaningless on this show.

Totally agree that the grieving scenes are meaningless now, but they're only fine if one is watching them as parody.

omg you bitches are exhausting

R185 It's exhausting to watch this soap. But we try anyway.

I can't believe these "Dr Marlena Evans" dolls really exist...but it can be yours (one remaining!) for only $168. Hard pass, I'm afraid.

R187 You can find many of the Marlena dolls on eBay for far less. There's one auction advertised as NRFB (never removed from box) with current bidding at $15.50. There's a "brand new" buy it now doll for $39 + shipping.

Huge news! After the success of Scoche Marin as the recast Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne who?) on Y&R, CBS has decided to bring on Scoche’s sister Porsche Marin to B&B to play their matriarch! Porsche will be playing the mummy of Stephanie Forrester! Thomas has been keeping her at his house! Wowza! Porsche will fit the part so well! She has been out as a lesbian for her whole life!

So when Sarah finds out what Xander has done who will be her next guy?

Xander will end up with Gwen again after the big favor she did for him. I like those two together but ho-hum to it all.

Say what you will but Dee looks amazing for 75, plus very graceful with her more natural hair color, unlike some of her contemporaries

Always elegant

Will Peacock bring Dee, Jane Elliot and Susan Flannery together for A Very Sapphic Salem Christmas?

Will Marlena, Angelica and Laura finally have the snowbound weekend at the Horton cabin they've yearned for?

R 193 two of the characters have been killed off so unless it's a Dr. Rolf Christmas Fantasy , it's probably a no go .

You mean like A Very Salem Christmas (part 1)? Some of us have a little more Cindy Lou Who in our hearts than the Grinch, R194.

Glad I didn't get you as my Secret Santa this year.

R193 The last time I saw Susan Flannery, she looked more like she could play NuMickey Horton.

She looks perfect for AVSSC, R196. Thanks!

What’s “AVSSC”, precious? What’s “AVSSC”?

You're so cute pretending to lack reading comprehension. R193 .

I enjoyed today's episode. Hopefully tomorrow's will be better when Eric drags that trash Nicole.

Also, even though these episodes were originally meant for broadcast, I think they've re-edited them for Peacock. This episode was 42 minutes. Days hasn't been 42 minutes since 1997.

R200 Even when produced for broadcast on Plain Old Television, they would run over, with the episodes simply getting cut for time. That's why they would occasionally put up those "cutting room floor" videos on youtube.

[quote]That's why they would occasionally put up those "cutting room floor" videos on youtube.

So, instead of putting the cutting room floor videos on youtube, they're putting them back into the Days episodes. Hence the longer running times of some episodes since moving to Peacock.

Move over Billy Flynn because it looks like you are going to have some competition in trying to reach for that Oscar. Because Christopher Sean says that he believes that he will one day win an Oscar in his lifetime.

R193 My my my 😆 😆

As good as Dee looks, and she does look good, Susan Seaforth Hayes, 79, looks even better. She’s had great work done I noticed this week (husband Bill as well).

This picture is just a reference. It doesn’t do her justice.

Who are legacy children?

Susan Seaforth Hayes has always looked great, but is especially attractive for almost 80 years old.

Who is top billed on this program?

Scoche Marin will be top billed and announced in the opening credits when she crosses over as Kay Chancellor.

So Jada really got an abortion (now that the show has moved to

Peacock) or is she lying to Eric for a future secret baby reveal?

Interesting if does; I can't remember the last time a character had an abortion on US soaps except for Lulu on General Hospital, at least 15-16 years ago. If there has been any since then, I really can't recall.

R206 Legacy children are either born into legacy families (like Brady, Horton off-springs), are the children of legacy couples (like Belle), or both (like Shawn-Douglas, Ciara). Usually, it's moreso the direct off-spring of legacy couples, for some of the cousins and others from legacy families aren't always prominent characters.

Sonny is a legacy child from Justin & Adreinne being a legacy couple, and the Kiriakis family is a legacy family. The Johnson family aren't exactly a legacy family imo however others could see it differently lol

Vee , who’s in the biz, is tutoring Dumb Dylan over at SON now that Pervertsudz and creepy Icky Vicky Fuckton got banned. Vee is a leader in the biz, you know.

As ever, after today I find myself wondering about extradition and Salem. Chanel went to school in England, didn't she? The only crime committed in Salem in relation to this dumbass story is Sloan's blackmail. Trask doesn't have the jurisdiction to do shit otherwise.

Rewatch the episode R215. Trask herself explained it.

Oh wait. You probably watch GH and think the Dollar Tree necklace is the Ice Princess.

Thanks, R216. I'd only read a recap, but watching that explanation still didn't help. Holding someone partly on suspicion that crimes that have been committed IN Salem (and telling their lawyer about it)? Working with the police instead of prosecutorial counterparts (although, fine, it's easier to say "Scotland Yard" than explain "Crown Prosecution Service"). And still, no jurisdiction to actually prosecute.

Also, that necklace would never have hypnotized Ambiguously Gay Lucky back in the day, so yes, I know the difference, but thanks for the pointless bitchery.

It's DL. That's what we do.

Who has jurisdiction over Melaswen?

DA Ksartun.

The stupid part about the legal stuff is that today Belle first said that Trask had been holding Chanel without an arraignment, but then later said that Trask had gotten some judge to issue a "stay" on the bail hearing. The problem there is that a person has to be arraigned first, before any kind of bail hearing is scheduled, because the conditions and amount of bail are directly tied to what the person has been charged with ... at the arraignment.

Has anyone seen the xfinity commercial with Judy Greer? Is the boyfriend in that commercial the same actor who plays adult Zach?

Has anyone seen kookoo from SON? Pervsudz? Vicky F? Where are they?

R222 Zack should be back lol they pretty much make everyone else undead unless they're deceased irl so why not. I'd prefer he was raised somewhere by Stefano and his associates for some time with disdain for Bo & Hope. Since Shawn-Douglas & Ciara are damn near squeaky clean (especially Shawn-D) it would be interesting to see them with a rebellious son, who could also harbor resentment towards his siblings for not being raised alongside them by their parents.

Vee, who’s in the biz, had KooKoo, Pervsudz and creep Icky Vicky banned. Kookoo is still going on and on and on about Fanne Heche and the AW bench in central park. Bitch is delusional. Pervsudz is taking his blue pills and jerking off to Chandler Massey, who could be the perv’s grandson.

....

Next week's promo =

Right. Co-Ed Prison Cells. LOOL!

The fat soap twitter queens sat on the THE ANOTHER WORLD bench in central park. It snapped right in half. Kookoo is more devastated than she was about F’Anne.

Coed prisons are all the rage. Over on GH they share the yard and the library.

[quote] LOOL!

LOOL! :)

Fat Casey the obese twitter queen still isn’t the headwriter of a daytime soap. He’s a book setter upper at B&N. Lolololololololololololol

Can hardly wait for Eric and Paulina to take a piss in front of one another.

Only on The Cock!

[quote][R187] You can find many of the Marlena dolls on eBay for far less. There's one auction advertised as NRFB (never removed from box) with current bidding at $15.50. There's a "brand new" buy it now doll for $39 + shipping.

Thank you, R188. I placed bids on eBay (which is a big deal for this eldergay, who learned in school both how to use a slide rule and to type on a old-style typewriter with manual carriage return). And I won! (Something like $49 plus shipping).

My husband (who has watched this show with me daily for years) will be thrilled. Thanks again.

R234 who are your favourite characters?

My husband loves Sonny (for obvious reasons: Sonny is hot, young, dark, and on the shorter side; I am none of those things). I love Susan Banks, Tripp Dalton (who is a doctor, cute, and nice deep voice; my husband is/has none of those things), and Ava Vitali. We both love Johnny DiMera.

We both dislike Dr Sarah Horton, Allie Horton, Li Shin, and especially Nicole Walker. We don't care for any of the "child" actors, either, especially Rachel Isabella DiMera Black.

Thanks for asking...how about you?

Speaking of Nicole Walker, Frau Zucker looks horrible in that preview (in bed with NuEJ). .. They really filmed her with horrible lighting at a most unflattering angle.

R236 I thought you might have been long term Marlena fans since you were interested in the dolls. I loved her as a teen as still like to keep up with what she's been up to.

Well, we like Marlena, too. We only started watching about 10 years ago.

Dee was looking damn good at Day of Days.

R236, I totally agree with your favorites. I also like the show's veterans.

Now, are Susan and Ava really dead? No bodies - just a burned car and an assumption they are dead. They are on my favorite lists and would hate for both of them to be gone.

Did they even say if they found the bodies?

They said that no one could survive that crash and explosion.

Which means they survived that crash and explosion.

And I'm ready for their surprise returns, even if it's next Halloween.

FrauCentral Spoilers indicate Ava is already back the week after this one.

[quote] Ava searches for a new way to wreak havoc on those who scorned her.

I see Nicole went clothes shopping at Laura Wright's garage sale.

^^^ LOL. Nicole and, to a lesser extent, Chloe, wear dresses that just aren't that flattering at best, and distracting at worst.

Do Chloe and Nicole sell their Basic Black frocks on QVC?

Basic Black is a QVC subsidiary of Rinna Beauty.

The same person designed the Basic Black logo and the DiMera Enterprises logo. Both are horrid.

Chloe is starting to look like Tiffany Amber Thiessen.

I've only been watching Days for a little more than a year but have not been able to stand Nicole. Interestingly, I think I like Nicole with EJ.

Nicole has always worked best when she has a mission and a nemesis. When she caught baby rabies and turned into "weepy Nicole" some years back, the character never recovered.

That said, I could feel the heat between Eric and Sloane through those cell bars yesterday.

Eric should have been put in a cell with some young rough trade who's just in need of a little spiritual counseling from a father figure.

It never ceases to amaze me how Shawn-Douglas' nipples are hard in every scene. How cold are they keeping that studio?

More likely BB just saw RSW in the studio and got aroused.

Okay, EJ calling Mary Moira, Aunt Sister was funny. I'm already loving Eric and Sloan. Hopefully she will dirty him up a bit.

What happened to the actor who played Shawn D during the last bladh years

R257 Jason Cook is concentrating on writing - which appears to extend into producing and directing at times. Here's his website cataloging various projects.

Stacy Haiduk is the worst. Twitter is calling for her to be canned.

Stay off of Twitter. Problem solved.

Has Mastodon weighed in?

New set… with cats?!
