DAYS: January 2026 Discussion Thread

Welcome back, EJ!
Too bad today was mostly about everything going on with the lab. I have mixed feelings about all of this, and I still stand by what I've said about Johnny being the one who should be trying to take down EJ. It just makes sense for it to be him based on everything that's happened between them. And while I enjoyed Johnny and Chanel today, that would be a much better storyline for the two of them than Chanel being pregnant again. Plus, if Johnny did end up taking EJ down, it could've led to more conflict between him and EJ, and the rest of the Dimera's as well.
But it's always good to see Dimitri interact with other characters besides the two worst ones that he often gets stuck with. That needs to happen a lot more often. Peter Porte is too talented for the nonsense that he's given, both now and in 2023.
EJ and Gwen's plan to try and frame Dimitri as being Peter's accomplice in the kidnappings could be interesting though. As pointless as the kidnapping ultimately was, I do like the idea of it having some kind of effect on future storylines.
But I had no use for Kristen today, despite her scenes with Dimitri. She really needs to take her awful kid and leave Salem for good.
As for Rafe/Cat, it did seem a little like they were chem testing the two of them again. I don't think it's gonna work though, if that's what the writers are actually going for lol but I am a little interested in seeing what happens once Rafe and Eli go to Alamainia. Btw, the cliffhanger ending would have been a lot better if it hadn't already been spoiled by the weekly promo 😂

@slick jones Thanks for all these updates and the reproduced interviews.
I forgot Pam Grier was on Knots. What a waste to just make her a cop.
I wonder what her OLTL role was.

ROTF! Gotta love the man for promoting HR, even with a probable tongue planted firmly in his cheek. No doubt, his suggestion is going to result in a meltdown among some easily-triggered. snowflakes in a certain demographic.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread

Production wise, I was fascinated to see a TWO DAYS LATER… used after the New Year’s episodes.
Were they testing Megan’s doctor as a new character? All of these months where they needed new characters and he’s getting some odd focus out of nowhere since coming in to the point Larry has threatened to go to the board for the operating room mishap.
Speaking of, with Troy and Jon still being used as romantic options, the show is in desperate need of romantic leading men which makes the new opening laughable (this opening had never bothered me, but seeing its debut now I really see how it doesn’t fit at all)
Going back to Cord’s death, and seeing Maxim’s recaps of Tina and Cain, and the little I’ve seen of this era, I wish they had written Tina out when AE left, gave Cord a new leading lady and then let him leave to search for Tina instead of dying. I did enjoy the Jaba City venture but his death, even if it was just a couple episodes and then forgotten, really threw things off. I do enjoy Karen Witter though and think she would have fared better as a different character with comedy.

Heated Rivalry

If angels exist, they have four paws, I'm sure of it.
We have to purge its flying monkeys too.
The episodes surrounding Bobbie's death were indeed highly effective, but for me, the most devastating and sob-inducing scenes of all time on GH were written by Claire Labine during the heart-transplant and AIDS storylines in the mid 1990s.
I catch your drift quite well, my friend. I have "other means" which I rely upon as well. The internet is a wonderful world to explore, with many nooks and crannies holding treasure troves for persistent surfers to uncover.🤫😉
Many, many years ago, I borrowed the first season of Chicago Fire on DVD from the local library. I forget the exact number now, but I think there were 24, hour-long episodes in the set. The loan period at the time for DVDs (even multi-disc boxsets) was two freakin' days. It was insane. I can see a 48-hour time limit for movie rentals, not a 24-hour season.
I greatly appreciate what Heated Rivalry did in its initial six eps and on such a miniscule budget. It shocks me that they filmed the entire series in a mere 36 days. Now just think of what Jacob Tierney and the cast and crew could offer us in 10 hours. Woohoo!😍

Dallas Discussion Thread

Not to be uncharitable, but Atkins never was much of a draw in his own right. The support he did have was for taking off his clothes, and even that wasn't enough to make that stripper movie sell.
He probably got more career benefits from, years later, being in that nude photo book with Josh Duhamel and Frank Grillo (among others) than from being on Dallas.
His casting, along with others like Barbara Carrera, shows how the powers that be at Dallas had lost grip of what made sense for the show. Dallas was not that type of camp or that type of fantasy material for gay men.
