January Gifts Being Returned On DOOL 2024

DOOL!!

DOOL?

[quote] No surprise arrivals in Salem this NYE

NuYearsEve

NuYears. NuEve?

LOOL!

Will anyone in Salem call Maggie to let her know her granddaughter is in a coma after OD’ing?

It seems that no one (including Maggie and Holly) remember they are related.

OO’Ding.

When will NuTherea's scheme be exposed? I thought it was supposed to be wrapped up by 2024 & yet here we are.

[quote] When will NuTherea's scheme be exposed?

Who NuOws?

Were these strike scripts written by AI? Talk about heavy-handed.

It's gonna be a long 6 months.

I like Emily O'Brien's Theresa. It took a while, but I wound up liking Gwen too.

I know they are shit but I do wish Dee gets a great storyline and finally wins one of those Daytime Emmys.

[quote]I like Emily O'Brien's Theresa. It took a while, but I wound up liking Gwen too.

I liked Gwen immediately. I still find O'Brien's Theresa problematic.

Word is, a lot of stories are going to basically tread water under the fi-core writers.

Most Daytime Emmy commentators still feel that Dee was totally robbed of the award for her dramatic portrayal as "Nurse Barbara Anderson" on Y&R in 1973. But the soap was new that year, and the old guard was prejudicial.

R13 didn't know that, was Dee very good? Do you feel she was wrongly overlooked for any year or storyline on DOOL?

What was 'Body and Soul', a soap-within-a-soap on DOOL? it lists Dee as playing her character from 'Our House'..

Abe seems to be remembering his love for Paulina at warp speed now. I welcome this development.

Also is Tripp & Wendy leaving for HK a fakeout or are the characters being written out for awhile? Poor Tripp has been let go several times now.

I like NuTheresa but I mess Gwen & hope she gets back sooner than later.

[quote] Nurse Barbara Anderson"

NuRse

R18 It wasn't that long ago that Queen Jason commented that Corbin Fisher Tripp was back on contract in the cast credits.

R18 But if the new writers can't come up with any love triangle plots for Trendy then

writing them off for awhile would be the thing to do & use their salaries for other things.

Corbin Fisher Tripp could just stand there in a pair of low-rise bikini briefs and that would be story enough for me.

[quote]Also is Tripp & Wendy leaving for HK a fakeout or are the characters being written out for awhile?

They're not leaving. Yet.

Tripp isn't nearly as pretty as Chambo, who probably has a lovely 7 incher

The only new images of Chandler you're going to get are three layers of winter clothing on Fraumark.

"Body and Soul" was really creative, but there was no real storyline behind it.

I also loved how they had Gwen exit to the left and Theresa entering on the right at the airport. What a great tongue-in-cheek transition between characters.

[quote] Tripp isn't nearly as pretty as Chambo, who probably has a lovely 7 incher

With Chambo all I care about are his ChamBOOBs.

Great start to the Nu Year…

r26

I don't think he's horrible on DOOL.. GH? stinky

R26 I agree. No more salamanders or newts on the show.

NuWts

Tripp should be Russ Matthews and being duped by some bad girl looking for a come up. He's the perfect character for that kind of story. He's good looking and a doctor, not sure what the problem is.

[quote]Were these strike scripts written by AI? Talk about heavy-handed.

[quote]It's gonna be a long 6 months.

Perhaps, but I've somewhat appreciated that not everything is jokey and campy and that some of this stuff seems like an actual soap and not some Dynasty camp-off. Plus, the scenes seem longer and more thoughtful.

I could do without Stefan's new mustache, but that's neither here nor there.

Let Steve Burton come back to GH where he belongs !

[quote] Perhaps, but I've somewhat appreciated that not everything is jokey and campy and that some of this stuff seems like an actual soap and not some Dynasty camp-off. Plus, the scenes seem longer and more thoughtful.

Agreed. I think the last week has shown a marked improvement over the past year.

[quote]Let Steve Burton come back to GH where he belongs !

He's got a character on Y&R too. He could go there.

I really loved Eve's dress in the pic at the start of this thread.

Anyone else? Please leave a w/w here at R35 if so.

Please beat us over the head with more (and more) exposition about how bad Tate is because his parents are both recovering addicts.

I agree, R36. They have not been doing a good job with addiction.

[quote] Days of our Fentanyl

DOOF?

Another NuTeen comes to town as a drug user.

Reminds me of when DYKWIA showed up cruising the park for demon weed among other things.

R39, who are the actors in that pic?

R40

Don’t you know who I am?

JJ and Paige, still going strong.

Thank you, R42.

R40 Casey Moss and Kevin Riggin.

Casey played "J.J. Deveraux," also known as DYKWIA or Jumpstreet JJ, and Kevin played his pot smoking, hot tub, blow job buddy, "Rory."

Rory was such a funny stoner, but IRL, Kevin Riggin has a BFA in dramatic arts from USC and now works at NBC Universal in their Entertainment Content Production & Operations department. LOOL!

[quote] LOOL!

LOOL! :)

It seems like the Stefan & EJ actors really took to their back alley argument compared to some lukewarm performances under the previous writing team.

At this point does anyone in Salem not know about Holly's coma by now? It's rare for one problem to make all of the rounds in every corner of Salem.

Does Maggie know?

Does Henderson & his butler counterpart know?

Do!

That gossipy lesbian, Anne Milbauer, put the Holly Jonas news on text blast.

She did this to piss Nurse Maxine off, since she's still stuck on Dr. Dan anything related to him.

These scripts feel like products of "Soap Writing 101" at the votech.

Tripp looked really good today.

[quote]These scripts feel like products of "Soap Writing 101" at the votech.

And yet they're better than anything Ron and his crew cranked out the last few years.

Debatable.

Dee-batable

Did Chandler ever show vpl?

Maggie remembers that she has a granddaughter!!!!

Very tough to stand in for delectable Greg Vaughn but Jason Gerhardt is gorgeous. How did he do playing horny Eric?

He did well, R59. Almost preferred him actually.

R57 He's AWG at best.

On the other hand, the pecs want to bust out of that shirt.

Chandler Massey is a lot of things, but average is not one of t hem.

AWG in terms of dick size.

Chandler is just someone you want to cuddle and pinch

…and watch him showering through a hidden camera …what???

Dee Dee is getting noticed for calling out Jo Koy for his lack of hosting skills during last night's Golden Globe Awards...

Maybe she wants the job next year?

No ribbon for Jo.

Loving how Millennial Dee is calling out this Gen X asshole.

What's that Hattie?

Does anyone know how long Kristen was off canvas with Rachel? It seems like about 2 months.

Where is Bonnie? Has the actress left the role?

R70 Judi Evans (Bonnie) is only recurring, non-contract, so they only play her as needed. And if you take into consideration that they often play her opposite screen-partner Wally Kurth (Justin), then you might have to take his schedule/availability into consideration as well, since he's also on General Hospital.

Yes R73 but she was noticeably absent during the party Maggie threw at the mansion that Justin attended (where Constantine & NuTheresa argued in the hallway & then he damaged his foot) & isn't she related to coma girl Holly as well?

Who are those two guys in the video preview at R72 please?

R75 King Rob and Queen Brady

(Robert Scott Wilson and Eric Martsolf)

Judi Evans will be see on screen again.

R76 the one in the white shirt is a hottie

I'm bored with most of the plots on the show right now = coma, drugs & Abe/Paulina's health crises aren't doing anything for me.

Piggley in jail & Wiggley in a coma. I hope their fates are sticking.

While in prison, Tate should find himself a hot 'jail husband' who can offer him protection in exchange for .. uh, marital relations.

I totally agree, R79. I was going to write the same thing yesterday.

Paulina makes smoothies! Theresa loves dark chocolate ! Fentanyl!

May seems a long, long way away.

It would be just wonderful to see Eric nude

Based on their current storylines, that's not a bad idea, R83.

The plots aren't all that compelling -- they're Ron's holdovers, for the most part -- but I appreciate that these writers are taking time to play multiple beats of each story and crafting scenes that are longer than 30 seconds. I'm betting the actors appreciate the change, too.

[quote] ... and crafting scenes that are longer than 30 seconds. I'm betting the actors appreciate the change, too.

Maybe, maybe not. Scenes in daytime soaps these days are typically short, due to how the production schedule doesn't allow for much, if any, rehearsal time.

Since TPTB want to produce scenes in one take, the shorter the scenes are, the less fuck ups there are. .. Actors do a scene, then the directors cut, with actors reviewing the script for the next one, so it's fresh in their head. .. The longer the scene, the more difficult this quick production routine may become to avoid making mistakes.

Why hasn't Eric gone to visit Brady about Tate?

Bill Hayes has died.

RIP Bill Hayes.

Thanks for all the entertainment you provided me.

Separate thread discussing his death.

R88 Awe.. so sad.

This week's promo -

This week's review =

r89

Seriously though... how are they going to address this on air? It's going to hit Susan hard(even though there are many stories of her being the cuntiest cunt who ever cunted, Bill supposedly was the complete opposite)

I guess I'm alone in this. I feel like the show has felt like a soap opera since the scabs took over. Not everything is jokey and campy. We're actually watching human emotion.

So sad about Bill Hayes. By all accounts just a decent, decent man.

r94

His death is sad, R94, but he lived a long life in seemingly good health, working up to 98. Not everyone should be so lucky.

Good for the show for keeping him around up to the end. He didn't look well for the Christmas episodes, so I am not surprised.

The gang talk about the show's China Syndrome ( no character ends up going there on the show & more)

Doug needs a villain to kill him off. So many times villains try to kill someone only for them to survive . It really is a trope on this show.

Victor dies in a plane crash instead of by Kristen, Dr. Rolf or someone else? No more goody two shoes dying by accident or in their sleep.

It would be a great tribute to Bill's masterful acting as Satan (when the character returned several years ago & possessed him) if the writers brought the devil back to kill Doug off & let Julie mount up a team to rid Salem of his presence once and for all. It'd also be a great way for them to introduce a new Gabi (now devil possessed and using his powers to break out of prison) as Doug's killer so Julie can really hate on her for the rest of the show's existence.

Next time, on the Peacock (Peapack?) Afterschool Special...

I just want to eat Chandler Massey's ass. He might not be everyone's type but he really gets my motor purring..

C'mon, Chandler is everybody's type.

r101 r102

Good episode today. Sloan was a riot!

Is Tate really gone after he just got here??

R105 He's on contract, so unless they decided to fire him after 13 weeks, then he'll still be around.

Tate's in juvie and Holly's coma'ing in Italy because the scabs have no idea how to write for teens.

Sloan's dinner party was total cringe.

Everyone's hair this week seems a little off. Sloan, Leo, Eric they all look like they fell out of a tornado & into a dumpster. Johnny was the worst.

I enjoyed the Mon. episode that mention sexism & anti-gay bigotry in addition to racism.

it seemed like they used the holiday to drag stuff out more but it was a welcomed change of pace for once (with me anyway).

Today's episode was pretty good.

So will Allie pop up to the upcoming wedding of Chanel & Johnny?

Shouldn't Johnny's brother, Will Whoreton, *pop up* to arrange the bachelor party?

Will mistakenly orders a male stripper for Johnny.

But Johnny's had a few brewskis and lets the guy grind his ass on his lap anyway.

Funny, how the next morning, Johnny decides to call the wedding off.

R111,

Since Chanel is bi/fluid, she should be ok with Giovanni hooking up with a guy. Actually, she’s so ok with it that she suggests they become a throuple.

Speaking of throuples, Brady, Alex, and a very high Theresa in a hotel room could have been so much more...

...and speaking of chemistry, poor heterosexual Chad once again has better chemistry with Everett then any of the females.

It almost looks like Chad is falling in love with Everett, who is reciprocating.

And what was up with Chad’s date with Alex last week?

Yup, that was something too, R115. Chad, Alex, and Thomas playing ball in the park looked like my two dads. Wouldn't it be something if it came out that Chad wanted Stephanie out of the picture because of his feeling for Alex first and then Everett.

CHASS will not be stopped !!

Our favorite butt has been on a mission to become the star of this show one way or another.

#chasett is already a hashtag.

Bottoms up!

FGayVNW Billy Flynn.

promo!

Does that actor require a patch or is it just the character?

It’s just for the character, R121.

R122 then it's a stupid affectation. Is he even an interesting character?

The character once had his bad eye "fixed" and stopped wearing the patch. The audience didn't react well. The patch came back.

I don't mind Steve and his patch, but what is up with him butting into the intentions of any of Stephanie's suiters? It is embarrassing and contributes nothing to the storylines. I get he loves his daughter but come on!

Who are the best actors on days?

I completely zoned out when Patch and Constantine were arguing and missed what their beef is.

They seem to be rewriting history about Patch's long-ago involvement with The Pawn, aka John Black, and Victor.

[quote]The character once had his bad eye "fixed" and stopped wearing the patch. The audience didn't react well. The patch came back.

Apparently the show got bags and bags of letters complaining about that change. I seem to remember that readers of Soap Opera Digest were not too thrilled about it either.

[quote]They seem to be rewriting history about Patch's long-ago involvement with The Pawn, aka John Black, and Victor.

I'm not a fan of Constantine. But I am curious how they're going to retcon John's history again.

quote[Who is top billed on this program?]

Deidre Hall is the star. Highest pay, biggest star. The face of days for many viewers.

R126, my favorites are:

Female: Emily O'Brien as either Gwen or Theresa and then Tamara Braun as Ava Vitale

Male: Billy Flynn as Chad Dimera and then Robert Scott Wilson as Alex Kiriakis - it took quite a while for me to like him in the role - I did not care for him as Ben Weston.

I don't have the history watching the show to appreciate the older characters but do understand why they were/are so popular.

I do kind of like how the show doesn't seem to mind a popular actor taking on a different role in very short time periods (O'Brien or Wilson). I also don't mind the show shifting characters off the canvas probably for budget reasons - as it always seems temporary. It keeps the show fresh, and you appreciate when the actor returns to the canvas. It is not real, so why not have a little fun with it. I loved how the show managed Emily O'Brien's transition between roles - Gwen saw shown exiting the terminal to go onto the plane and moments later she was shown entering the terminal from the plane as Theresa (with blond wig). It was a riot.

R134 is Ben the one who strangled Strudel? What do you think of Marlena as a character?

I only started watching the show after watching Beyond Salem. Yes, Ben was the strangler - before my time. I like Marlena but her main storylines in my time watching the show was her (yet again) devil possession and her "death" with Kate and Kayla.

When Guiding Light killed off Maureen Bauer and it proved to be unpopular, I found it odd they could not figure out how to reverse that. They did not have to go the DAYS "death" route where no one is ever really dead no matter how outrageous the "story" is. But they could have gone the twin route - Bea Reardon had twins and gave one of the twins up for adoption at birth. The twin could have been found working in a laundromat on 5th street - a streetwise woman the complete opposite of Maureen who Ed falls in love with. It could have been fun watching the character adjust to a more privileged life.

[quote]I also don't mind the show shifting characters off the canvas probably for budget reasons - as it always seems temporary. It keeps the show fresh, and you appreciate when the actor returns to the canvas.

I think the cast is too big for the show's current budget, which means people get shuffled off. Personally I think they should cut things down to about 15-20 contract players, and put people like John, Marlena, Steve, and Kayla on recurring. Then refocus the show around a 20s-40s age group and a teen story, and stop with playing the greatest hits from the 80s. They also have characters who duplicate energy. Send this weird looking EJ packing and just keep Stephan. What does Everett bring to the table? What is the point of Stephanie? Why is Johnny being wasted?

Stephanie and Everett are in the "20s-40s age group."

Good point, R137. And I should note that Carson Boatman as Johnny DiMera is one of my favorites - I just don't think of him up front as he never seems to have a storyline. A waste.

True, R138, but both are poorly defined in my opinion. Stephanie needs a reset.

r139

Agreed, R140. The Stephanie character has potential but seemed forced on the show to be a romantic partner for Chad.

r142

R141 and R143, you clearly have me on ignore and I honestly cannot figure out why - my postings are generally benign, and I avoid most controversial topics. I will occasionally post a "tongue in cheek" response to an outrageous thread but it is all in fun.

I checked; you're anti-Biden.

That's why.

R145, that is ABSOLUTELY false. I HAVE NEVER posted ANYTHING anti-Biden. I gladly voted for him in 2020 and will do so again in 2024.

I only block Trumpers and anti-gay bisexuals, so you are one of the two.

I am definitely NOT a Trumper and am proudly GAY who came out in 1978 at the tender age of 16. Yes, I am 61 and proud gay man who is a lifelong Democrat that has consistently voted that way my entire life. Perhaps you blocked me in error - I've done that myself.

R148 can you still get it up and how big is it?

Looks like it since I've hopped in and out of the Trump and Queer threads to resurrect your offensive posts, and find none in Ignored.

I apologize.

If only Julie and Gabi could resolve their differences as maturely as R14 and R150 .

* R140

** R148 epic fail today, sorry

Thank-you, R150.

As an openly gay democrat - I've spent my life working in social services, including being Board President for an AIDS Service organization. None of this is Trumpian/Republican or anti-gay.

And R149, yes, my equipment works very well. My partner of decades is always satisfied!

R154 on the market for a toyboy?

R155, at my age, I've learned to never say never lol..and of course I barely look 30.

R156 what's your favourite Marlena moments?

R157, as I mentioned upthread, I really only started watching the show a couple of years ago after watching Beyond Salem. I hadn't watched a soap since high school, which was peak Guiding Light years. Marlena's major story lines during my time were the devil possession (most recent) and her "death" along with Kayla and Kate. They were certainly entertaining and think the devil storyline is what kept me watching initially and fully understand the popularity of the long-term cast members. It was really hard to start watching a soap with a long history as a new viewer - I am still trying to sort out the history and relationships of characters. It was very much like moving to a different state and not knowing anyone, but everyone there had been living their lives for years. Soaps just aren't that interesting without knowing the history. I don't know how the shows could help here but think it could help attract new viewers if they could figure something out to help new viewers.

R158 did you like Chambo during his guest appearance as horny Will?

[quote] Who is top billed on this program?

[quote] Deidre Hall is the star. Highest pay, biggest star. The face of days for many viewers.

That's not what I asked.

Be careful, r158. The poster you are interacting with at r155, r157, et al, is seriously deranged.

He posts about jacking off thinking about Deidre Hall smoking cigarettes, about eating pussy, and other nonsense.

He's trying to not blow his cover in this thread, but he's been blocked for years and has never gone away.

He is a full-on creep.

LOL @ R159. I very much enjoy having gay characters and relationships on the show - something it is clearly lacking right now. Leo can be amusing, but eye rolling at the same time. That said (and it will probably get me put on ignore...lol), but I was more into Sonny than Will.

R161 you have me confused with someone else. I've never been near a woman carnally in my life and I wouldn't besmirch Dee or Marlena by being so vulgar.

Now if it's Chandler Massey, I'd eat him all day

[quote]Who is top billed on this program?

Since the beginning Days has listed it's cast by seniority. Currently Suzanne Rogers has the most seniority and is first in the cast credits. Mac Carey, I believe, had a starring credit since the beginning. Frances Reid got an also starring credit in the 80s. When Deidre returned in the 90s, she got an "and" credit and appeared at the end. When Wayne Northrup returned he got the "with" credit.

When Dee was let go and returned her agent clearly didn't negotiate an "and" credit. So she was put back into seniority order, where she remains to this day.

I'm sort of nerd about soap opera main and end titles. Ask me anything.

Thank you so much, R164. That answered my question.

R164 is Dee just lumped with the main cast then? Do you know much about Emmy submissions?

Yes, Dee's current credit is in seniority order. I don't know much about Emmy submissions. I was never really interested in Emmys.

NATAS has Dee scheduled to receive her Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmy in about 35 years when she's a senior cast member in her 70s.

I don't know how that old bat Lucci won an Emmy and Dee hadn't even been nominated since 1985

It's time for her to be NuMinated.

Lucci's endless nominations with no win, became a running joke in the mainstream press, which NATAS didn't want tarnishing the awards any longer, so they gave her one just to stop that shit.

Most episodes now have 1/3 actresses & 2/3 actors in each one.

I wonder if the behind the scene drama has anything to do with this imbalance?

The show where Maggie came to see Holly before she gets shipped off had 5 actresses & 8 actors in it.

The audience is made up mainly of straight women and old gay men. Both groups would rather look at actors.

True R173 but this is a recent development which is why I asked.

Gabi left & Bonnie hasn't been seen for almost 6 months now but every episode now has a drop in female characters.

Granted guest stars Lucas, Clyde, Constantine & Harris are adding more maleness to recent episodes but Demetri, Li & Dr. Rolf also left recently & Doug is hardly seen compared to Julie.

[quote] Doug is hardly seen compared to Julie

Because he's dead, you heartless bastard!

This week's spoilers are after the 1 minute mark =

Details, details, R175. That's never stopped DOOL in the past...

r177 = Dr. Rolf

Tom and Alice are returning.

Julie was on more than Doug because Bill Hayes was in his 90s, whereas Susan Hayes is in her late 70s.

Bill may have been healthy enough to continue filming up until 2 months before his death. But that doesn't mean he had the stamina to perform the number of days that Susan did or memorize the number of lines that Susan did.

R180 We all know the age difference here of the D & J pairing. The issue on the table is the cast gender difference of the past couple weeks which never existed in the past 2 decades of viewing. Does any insiders have a reason for it or see an end in sight?

More men is a good thing.

In fact, DOOL should consider going ALL-MALE.

Okay, we'll keep Marlena around in case any of the guys require some counseling on embracing their sexuality or would like her opinion about their profile on Delve.

GOOL!

Chad should be in Marlena's office already.

I'm kind of surprised that Billy Flynn is still on the show to be honest. I'm probably wrong, but I sometimes got a "I'm too good for soaps" vibe from him. What was the last decent Chad storyline?

Hot Sonny putting drunk Chass to bed was a good story, but it needed to go further if FOWBF is actually going to win that award.

[quote] GOOL!

LOOL! :)

The D. Days weekly review -

I'm confused by this pawn storyline... I thought everyone knows that John was the pawn

Me too, R188.

[quote]I'm kind of surprised that Billy Flynn is still on the show to be honest. I'm probably wrong, but I sometimes got a "I'm too good for soaps" vibe from him.

He left once, because he had that attitude, then came crawling back.

Billy Flynn now realizes that CHASS is his big claim to fame.

Does Steph remember that Ava killed her Grandpa Shawn?? I know she is her brother's mom but still...

Mon.'s episode had just 3 females = Maggie, Marlena & NuTheresa.

8 males = Alex, Brady, Kung Fu Fighter John, Eric, Steve, Constantine, Harris & Clyde.

I think the behind-the-scenes drama was going on at this time.

I'm on a break from the show, so out of context Kung Fu Fighter John cracks me up.

The math on having only 3 women in an entire episode gets even more fun when you find out 2 of those 3 can't share scenes. It's an LSAT logic problem come to life.

R193 did Maggie & Marlena have any scenes together? Did Eric go shirtless?

Anyone tracking when Alarr's last episodes air?

R196 Queen Jason can probably tell you how many nose hairs Alarr has.

R196,

August 5, 2023 at 4:27 p.m. | UPDATED: August 5, 2023 at 8:27 p.m. “Days of Our Lives” co-executive producer Albert Alarr has exited the long-running soap opera after an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct, according to reports.

So, six they record the show about six months ahead, we should only have a few more weeks of Fat Albert.

since, not six...

I watched the episode today where Marlena wakes up a sleeping John and he jumps up assuming a karate pose. 🤣

It's one thing to be boring, but another to be boring and bad. If I didn't know that the scab material was temporary, I'd take a break from the show. And the obvious cue card reading (Everett, Johnny, Wendy, Harris) on Thursday...

I don't think there are cue cards any longer. If actors need help with lines I think they run an electronic version of the script on one of the stage monitors. I don't think these soaps have the time or money to pay for someone to make and hold cue cards. I know the guy at Y&R (also Sony) who did this was laid off over 20 years ago.

R200 is he back to being brainwashed or something? You would have thought a Shrink as renowned as Marlena would have sorted him out by now

That seemed really odd to me, R203.

R195 No to both. The 3 females did not interact. Alex caught Nu-T kissing Brady, Mags broke up 1-i & Greeky & after Doc was spared Kung Fu Fighter John's deadly moves she went to visit Eric i with the baby. No females interacted yet again. Most of girl on girl scenes have been mother daughter = Kayla & Steph & Paulina & Channy. I can't recall when Mags & Doc wee in the same room together. has it been over a decade now? Did she condole Mags after Vicky died?

R200 It had me laughing too. I bet the threw his back out a week trying to move that fast. These writers & their dumb ideas.

^ Also Harris visited Clyde in prison in that show so no females in those scenes either.

[quote] I can't recall when Mags & Doc wee in the same room together. has it been over a decade now?

Maggie was sitting directly behind Marlena at Sonny & Paul's wedding in the Fall of 2017.

Tues. show had Ava (& Stefan) hiring Steph for public relations & they talked about her 1 night stand with Harris so that's some non relative female bonding there.

I thought Contantine was just after Mags but now he has his sights on John The Pawn?

He's seems to be staying on longer that what was originally planned. The same for NuTheresa (just 8-10 weeks? LOL!)..

The scab writers are mostly treading water until Ron comes back. I don't mind, I think the emphasis on character interaction over plot is a nice change.

I think Chad and Everett just need to do it...

R207 but I thought old Maggie was top-billed?!

R211 As Paul's father, John got front row at the wedding, which included his +1 for the event, Marlena.

r210

Isn't it interesting that people like Billy Flynn and DOD Chad Duell only have chemistry with MALE actors

promo

[quote] but I thought old Maggie was top-billed?!

Who will play NuMaggie when she croaks?

R215, Molly Ringwald.

R215 They could just put Maggie's wig on top of an urn and talk to her.

Teleprompter is more contemporary than cue cards, true, but remember this is the world where people still read magazines and newspapers. Lol

[quote] Lol

LOOL! :)

Is Constantine the devil secretly coming after Marlena's guy instead of her this time around? Is that how he knows about the pawn? The promo above mentions Hell so its got me wondering about this stuff.

Andre's latest takes =

Chanel wanting a small wedding seems out of character for her but I guess the writers can spin it as not wanting Allie there when it happens.

So is Leo the last gay man standing in this soap?

Frightening thought.

It was weird seeing Jason Morgan and Stefan Cassadine in a scene together today... HAs Jason and Ned had any scenes?

StefanO?

Theresa and NotBen singing Row Row Row Your Boat was as egregious as Ciara's rape in the Horton living room.

NuCiara?

NuTeen Ciara?

Today was the first post-Fat Albert as co-ep episode.

However, he did direct the episode.

Here is the link to the new Feb. thread & its gay poll =
