May The Course Be With You Victor K. (DOOL)

The previous April 2023 thread =

Has anyone said when John Anniston's death will be addressed on the show yet?

Everything in this story is Paulina's fault. I will, just barely, give Chanel a pass, but Paulina gets nothing. And Eric is way too hot to just walk around town with that constipated look on his face all the time, either he's on Sloan's side or not. Pick a lane. Sloan is the only decent one in the story.

I have really grown to like Sloan.

DOOL!!

r4

me too

I love Megan... love the fish market and Chris references

Agreed, R6!

good god is Kyle bronzed!

I wonder why DOOL does not play the full credits at the close. It is not like they have a time constraint on Peacock like they might have had on NBC.

Tyler Christopher fell of the wagon. Was arrested for public intoxication in an airport.

Here's the link to the thread discussing it.

What does the Novus Orsa tattoo on Kyle Lowder's back stand for?

What's Novus Orsa?

Today's show was pretty good. Weird, but good!

Holy shite, Kim Coles looked older and fatter than Jackee. And I’m not going to comment on her wig.

R11 It's a Latin phrase that basically translates to "NuBeginning."

Manspread.

What's Marlena up to?

R16, Marlena is just waiting to be possessed or dead again.

Marlena should be in a very special storyline where she deals with the realities of finally facing the menopause. She has to tell John "No more whipped cream I'm afraid"

[quote] Marlena should be in a very special storyline where she deals with the realities of finally facing the menopause.

Well, if 49 year old Ari Zucker's Nicole can be pregnant, surely it's possible for 42 year-old Dee Dee Halls...

Menopause? Don't be ridiculous!

Marlena isn't even old enough to have one of those change-of-life baby stories.

If Carlivati knew what he was doing, Marlena would be in "Who's the Daddy?" story with Drake and Ben/Alex.

[quote]surely it's possible for 42 year-old Dee Dee Halls...

42?

I think you're mistaken.

Dee Dee Halls isn't a day over 32.

When Marlena was repossessed why did the devil make her go to work?

Because psychiatrists can do a lot of evil by manipulating their patients, R22.

Just ask Laura Horton and Julie Williams.

Question for those of you who watched at the time but was there meant to be a better storyline for Dee and Wayne's big 1991 return? Didn't Marlena just go quietly back to Roman?

Much better if they had her get pregnant in summer 91 after the real Roman returned and drag out whos-the-daddy for a year.

Why did Eric just trust the swab the Sloan did? Any way, we still don't know who the father is. I still love Sloan.

[quote]Question for those of you who watched at the time but was there meant to be a better storyline for Dee and Wayne's big 1991 return? Didn't Marlena just go quietly back to Roman?

When Dee returned in 1991, part of her deal was her own Days spin-off, 'Manhattan Lives'. I am not certain if they were writing Marlena's return with the spin-off in mind. Also remember Roman "John" and Isabella were a very popular couple, so Days probably thought the better story was who is the real Roman first and then who is John. Remember Drake was the show's most popular leading man and had a very high Q score.

Jim Reilly came up with the idea for the affair with Sheri Anderson. I think he told Michael Logan that he didn't understand how Marlena just went back to Roman and these people just went back to their lives after everything that happened. But they had to get the pieces in place. First with Isabella dying , then we got that big fight between Roman and Marlena where he asks her how could she not know that John wasn't Roman, followed by Marlena in that hole for weeks.

R26 I guess that makes sense, I just thought if they were so desperate to get Dee back they would at least give her a big storyline after her return.

As I recall, Wayne Northrup initially signed a short term contract when he returned in 1991. I think it was for 5-6 months. That greatly affected the storytelling.

Then after Wayne was a back for a while, he agreed to stay for two more years. And than later extended the contract again.

Incidentally, it was Dee who suggested they bring Wayne back when she returned in 1991. She much preferred working with Wayne than with Drake.

Happy 98th birthday to Bill Hayes!

r28

really? where did she say that?

That's what was reported at the time.

Of course Dee didn't say she preferred working with Wayne over Drake. That's my interpretation from everything I've heard over the years. She's smart enough not to say that.

But she did say in Soap Digest or Soap Weekly or someplace that it was her idea to Roman back in the form of Wayne.

Did Leo say “shit show” today? It sounded like he did.

[quote]Well, if 49 year old Ari Zucker's Nicole can be pregnant...

I want the father to be someone other than Eric or EJ...a testament to Nicole's perpetual sluthood.

I think Dee and Wayne were friends outside work and she knew he was open to returning. Plus she'd only really worked with Drake for a few months in 1986 before she disappeared. Dee was already working on "Our House" during that time.

Did Days ever explain how she survived a plane explosion?

Did Leo say shit today?

Yes, Dee and Wayne are/were friends outside of work... but Dee is no fool, she knew what the money shot was.

I thought Zucker quit. When is she gone?

PP is GORGEOUS!!!!! And good in campy scenes like Monday.

Forget the shit word, how about Sloan's lace lingerie after climbing out of bed with Eric! Love Sloan's character!

Lots of twists in Monday's episode!

[quote]how about Sloan's lace lingerie after climbing out of bed with Eric!

Didn’t notice. Was too focused on Eric’s pits and chewy nips!

Hate Sloan thoroughly.

Gwen didn't even cross my mind about Dimitri needing a marriage partner. I thought it would be Leo!

I'm always rooting for Gwen, Kristen, Megan, and Leo!

There were subtle hints yesterday and today that Dimitri is gay.

I bet he marries Leo.

R41 I picked up on those as well, especially Dimitri's aside about "other general incompatibilities."

I'm thinking Dimitri may go ahead and marry Gwennie, but she'd be okay with him being gay, even supporting Dimitri and Matty on the downlow, as long as she gets something out it (money, status).

r41

I think he will be BI... I thought he was actually into Billie

R43 Maybe. But "Agent Graham" with Billie came off as S4P to me.

How big do we think Eric's cock is?

Dimitri basically told Kate that his "attraction" to Billie was all a lie. And there have been a few other comments about that since, I think one with Chad.

Miss Rice Chex.

I thought she couldn't top Frowny Face, but here we are. Loves me some Megan.

Megan has been a great addition.

Dimitri as Megan's son is also great.

Can't wait to see those to go at it with the other DiMeras.

Okay, I think I agree with you guys. I think Dimitri is gay and they're setting up Dimitri and Leo. I guess Leo's the first gay Dimera.

Did Greg Rikaart and Peter Porte ever share any scenes on Y&R as Kevin and Ricky?

They’re friends in real life, R50. That I know.

The Shenanigans mentions were hilarious!

When Megan was saying how they don’t have time for Dimitri to find someone to fall in love with, the camera was close on PP’s face, and then the scene immediately switched to Leo. That’s Ron setting up the eventual reveal.

Just like setting up when Eric said that Colin obviously has a lot of secrets, and Sloan’s face made a slight twitch. The next day, we found out her big secret betraying Eric was.

PP is 39, just like Dimitri.

Miss Rice Chex is 38, as is FOWBF. Li’l Sis Amy Steel is 34.

The fuck are you simpletons watching soaps in the year 2023?

R50 I recall some kind of interlude where Kevin was roommates with "Eden Baldwin," his half-brother Michael Baldwin's half-sister. .. This was during the time when Kevin entered into a forced marriage to mafia princess, Angelina Veneziano. Angelina's father bought the couple a house, so Kevin was supposed to move into that home with his bride, Angelina. Since Eden needed a new roommate, Ricky said he'd give up his sublet and take Kevin's place. This was all discussed in a scene at Jimmy's dive bar where the group had gathered. Besides, Kevin, Angelina, Eden, and Ricky, some of the other young-ish set was in that scene, including Kevin's bestie, Daniel Romalotti, Kevin's ex-, Chloe Mitchell, and Devon Hamilton, who had something to do with Angelina trying to have a singing career. Ricky would go on to kidnap and almost kill Eden, before his father, MAGA Paul, shot him and fell out the window to his death.

Do any of the many DiMera siblings share a mother?

Did Stefano ever nail Dr Marlena?

R56

Bio children? I don’t think so

Stefan and Jake share Vivian as a mother!

Stefano was a man-whore.

Spread his seed far and wide.

R59

Touché

So, who are the mothers of each of the DiMera siblings?

Tony -- mother is Daphne DiMera

Renee -- mother is Lee DuMonde

Lexie -- mother is Celeste Perrault

Stefan and Jake -- mother is Vivian Alamain

EJ -- mother is Susan Banks

Megan -- mother is ?

Chad -- mother is ?

Benji -- mother is ?

Chad’s mother was that former hooker. Forget her name.

Was Stefano married when he adopted Kristen and Peter?

Didn't it turn out that Andre was also Stefano's son. I can't remember.

I never knew Kristen named her daughter after her mother, Rachel.

Wikipedia says Stefano raised Kristen and Peter from a very young age after their parents died (but Rachel was secretly alive).

I thought Tony wasn't Stefano's bio son(recently he was called the gardener's son by Megan?) and Andre became his son under Dena(I think)... Wasn't there a possibility that Celeste's son Cameron was also a Dimera

Yes, and there was speculation that Cameron took Nicole’s second dead EJ baby (that wasn’t really dead) on Stefano’s orders.

r67

is that the one that she framed Jen for?

As I recall, in the 80s, the revealed Tony was the gardener's son.

But when they brought Tony back in the 90s, the changed it and said Tony was really Stefano's son. The potential marriage between Tony and Kristen was OK because Kristen and Peter Blake were Stefano's adopted children.

Of course, it was later revealed that the Tony who came back in the 90s was really Andre.

So, not sure where that leaves Tony's paternity.

R68, Yes. And Nicole was lying that it was Race’s child. AND she had sex with Daniel when she was almost full-term!

Cameron did some weird stuff right before he left the show and it looked like he was working for (his father) Stefano. I don’t remember everything, though.

Rafe’s child, fucking autocorrect!

R62 Benjy Hawk's mother was Ellen Hawk. Her father, Orion Hawk, once worked for Stefano.

New and improved Tripp practically melted my panties on Wednesday.

This show is replete with hot men, and it's time some of them turned to each other. There aren't enough interesting women in Salem to satisfy them all.

In what world would a hot, handsome, successful doctor like Tripp be such a LOSER?

Lucas Adams is definitely Ron's type, so why does he write him as so pathetic? It's so obvious that Johnny is meant to "win" Wendy.

Yes, why doesn't Tripp turn to Alex, who is trying to turn his over-sexed life around?

What kind of undies does Eric prefer?

Size Medium grey boxer briefs.

Abe is kinda an asshole

Some of you may be too young to remember this, but I consider Trip a throwback character. In the old days of soaps, before everyone had to be a little dark, there were the good guy characters like a Russ Matthews or a Bob Hughes. They were just all around good guys who got caught up in the clutches of scheming women. Every soap had one. To me, Trip is that character.

Quite frankly, I don't understand why Johnny or Trip would be fighting over Wendy. But Ron seems to have a spotty record when it comes to writing for 20somethings.

Bob Hughes was written to be rooting for him.

Tripp is written as a buffoon.

Well we're not supposed to remember how dark Tripp was when he first came on and terrorized ppl 😆 Tripp is possibly overcompensating now by being overly nice to everyone, over guilt for what he did to others. He was more like Ava/Charlie than Patch especially when he targeted stepmommy Stinkface

Patch was a sociopath. Early Trip got it honest.

Tripp wasn't even that bad, just about Kayla. He wasn't Ava-crazy, just misguided thanks to Claire's ramblings.

He wasn't "dark" when he arrived. He had a very short-lived obsessive period when he thought Kayla murdered Ava. He's more than made up for those actions.

I forgot that Tripp was acting out of revenge when he thought Kayla killed Ava and that Patch was covering for her, so my memory at R80 is fuzzy 😆 now I'm thinking he wasn't as bad as Ava/Charlie although I thought he was trying to get Kayla fired and set her up a few times at work? R81 Really? I wasn't watching when Patch first came on lol

R82 I just corrected myself because I knew corrections were coming lol there was also that girl Jade who got inside his head as well.

Oh, yeah, Jade. Forgot about her.

For what it's worth, given Tripp's backstory with his abusive adoptive father, along with Ava and the Vitali family tree, combined with Patch already having a son in Joey, Tripp pretty much has all the makings of a "dark character." So they could've really went there without doing any out of character explanations for his behavior, building up resentment outside of misplaced anger in regards to Ava's "death," yet that's not where they were intending to go with him.

Going back to something I wrote earlier. Is Chanel the only successful 20something character Ron has written?

[quote] Lucas Adams is definitely Ron's type,

Lucas may need to work on his butt. A couple days ago, Ron liked this Arab guy's ass on IG. And we all know he dreams of Chass.

Link to Arab Guy’s Instagram?

Chandler Massey had a nice defined butt on his last appearance, he may have been working his glutes

R89 I went back and realized the guy is actually CUBAN, not Arab. For some reason, when he puts his name up, he also uses the Arabic alphabet as well, thus the confusion. Perhaps he's popular with the sheiks in Dubai or something .. LOOL!

Anyway, on Insta he goes by GEORGEC. His handle is: gergerc__

That photo of "George" at R88 was taken by a model/photographer of male eroltica who goes by the handle: alexsphotographe This belongs to Alexis Salgues. He's a French guy in Barcelona who Ron also follows. That's where he liked it. Ron also follows Alexis' personal Instagram page where he mainly puts up photos of himself. That page is: alexisallgues

Here's a recent one of Alexis that Ron liked. .. Perhaps he'll see fit to replicate this scene for some guy on Days.

^^^ That large banana on the hardwood floor is a nice touch.

R91 now there's a boy who knows how to keep his crack pristine!

Paging Rob Wilson. Start practicing to replicate this shot. It'll be in your script in two weeks.

I wish Chandler would do a little indie flick where all his clothes come off. Show that dick and ass Chambo, plus the big pink nips and feets

Ew, heterosexual. I like my Insta models gay.

They really hammered it home today. We're about to get a Dimitri, Gwen, Leo triangle and I am here for it.

Speaking of Dimitri, he looked really good in that suit.

I like Harris, but I'm not sure what they're going to do with him.

Body and Soul was a hoot.

I despise Steve Burton and Melissa Reeves. MAGAts and trash.

promo!

I miss RSW onscreen every day.

r100

NOT ME!

I’m flattered you still remember my Days stint, R100.

I don’t remember the Golden Age RSW on OLTL.

I do remember young Matt Ashford on OLTL as Drew. He was really cute then.

Just saw there's a hottie called Chad Duell on General Hospital who looks a little like Chambo

Doesn't I hear that Emily O'Brien was leaving? Now I'm wondering if that wrong, given Gwen/Leo/Dimitri.

r104

His nickname is dick of death

R106 why so? Has he not got a nice dick?

EOB is leaving?

I thought Zucker was leaving.

Camila Banus is leaving.

They never stay gone very long on DOOL!

Hasn't Banus left before? Actually, more than once?

It's time for Mama Hernandez to summon Rafe home and do away with all the Hernandei.

R107 I'm not R106 however he got the nickname because his dick is so big that it can kill pussy 😆 Kristen Alderson (Starr OLTL/GH, KiKi GH) dated him for awhile and is the one who gave it to him

R111 Alderson is barely 5-ft tall so anything over 6-inches might cause distress.

R112 Good point 😆 😆

Eli and Theo both return next week.

Hot Eli and non-gay/non-hot Theo.

....

r115

I hate RSW but I a 3 way with those 2?

Hot gay Theo is posting some hot pics on Insta, including one that screams gay pride.

I want RSW inside me - quite deeply.

Arianne Zucker is actually quite pretty no wonder the Don wanted to grab her by the pussy

[quote]Hot gay Theo is posting some hot pics on Insta, including one that screams gay pride.

Is this the photo you're talking about?

Slut?

....

who's the woman?

R120 The post at R117 is probably talking about this gif that Kyler put up just a few days ago.

they're going to pair Leo with Dimitri right?

r124

who's the other guy?

I might be wrong r123 but I believe she is someone who works at Days PR department.

R123 The woman in the pic at R122's post is Lia Maiuri, whom Kenny hired back in 2021: first as Director, but now made "Vice President of Communications." Fancy title.

That’s a very unflattering picture of Eric Martsolf at R122, complete with a bit of a belly.

Happy 50th birthday to Greg Vaughan!

R126 The other guy is named Ethan Germann. He shows up every now and again.

The one below is from March 2023

R129 Martsolf looks ready to portray Don Burns in a docudrama about Sean Cody.

[R124] is correct, that's the image I was referring to.

Gay Kyler has blowjob lips.

Here is the new June 2023 thread in case Prime Time

comes back again before the month is over =

Greg Vaughn is one of the sexiest men in recent memory

Has Chandler ever shown anything apart from chest? Even in one of his independent pics?

Pervertsudz from SON, who is old enough to be Chandlers grandfather (ewwwwwww) whacked his dick after taking the blue pill. We haven’t yet heard if he climaxxed yet. It takes a few hours.

When straight Chandler does his annual Fraumark movie, you might get a glimpse of his Adam's Apple.

R138 LOOL All I remember was CM was wearing tighter clothes for his recent Hallmark movie.

Chandler Massey is straight. He eats pussy. These fat old perverts at SON can’t accept that. And these perverts are old enough to be Chandler’s GRANDfather. Disgusting. No wonder Chandler doesn’t answer fans. He knows that they are gross old perverts.

R140

It feels like they may be setting Megan up for a murder mystery - I'd like her to stick around though...

She has to be kept around to cause trouble for Bo and The Joker.

[quoteI]t feels like they may be setting Megan up for a murder mystery - I'd like her to stick around though...

She's not around much longer.

Megan is the best thing on the show these days.

Dimitri is the next best thing.

Hope they both stick around for a while.

Peter Porte has a smokin body on today's show! Nice pecs!

[quote]Megan is the best thing on the show these days.

I agree! I love how the actress, Miranda, changed her name from Cheryl Ann many years ago. I (cis male) once had a dream I gave birth to an adult-sized trailer park baby named Cheryl Ann, so Miranda is well rid of that name!

R147 Ii agree about Megan,. I didn't like her on the DOOL special but the main show has written her better with less Bo obsessions & more interests.
