I'm so tired of Paul being Brad's you-know-what...

JT needs to shave that scruff off his face, it's very unappealing IMHO.

The best moment of today's show was when Nikki told Jack that she and Victor dontaed a scholarship in honour of John Abbott at GCU.

That bitch killed sweet, innocent Darla and now she's doing Darla's man? Unforgiveable. Darla isn't even dead 6 months and Thorne moved on with this self-involved ho?

B&B, you are dead to me.

Anyway here is the link - check it out:

http://news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../612300323/1093

Also, check out the "Related Links" underneath his picture - and you can see other stories from the newspaper they've done on Jay throughout his career...including an interview about his first time to Hollywood and being on DAYS back in 2000.

Here's how many episodes the top 10 actors have appeared in from 1/1/88-12/31/06. This covers the past 4,828 episodes! For the complete list, please visit http://members.aol.com/jason47b

Rank. Actor (Character) # of Episodes

1. Drake Hogestyn (Roman Brady/John Black) 2989

2. Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans/Hattie Adams) 2206

3. Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) 2101

4. Peter Reckell (Bo Brady) 2096

5. Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady/Gina VonAmberg) 2094

6. Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Horton) 1763

7. John Aniston (Victor Kiriakis) 1516

8. Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Roberts) 1478

9. Christie Clark (Carrie Brady) 1431

10. James Reynolds (Abe Carver) 1407

EJ is a cold, calculating bastard and James Scott gave a chilling performance today. He has a dangerous, sly charm about his performances that make you want to jump into his arms and make mad, passionate love, yet run away screaming at the same time. His eyes scream 'danger,' while his lips whisper words of seduction. Casting him as EJ was a stroke of genius -- I've been so impressed with the Days casting department over the past 3 - 4 years! My only worry is that EJ will be written into a corner and he won't be able to walk the streets of Salem as a free (or living) man. I have faith that Hogan's creative enough to make him both balls-to-the-wall AND salvageable.

The drama with Lucas and Sami was great, and I was actually impressed with Ali Sweeney's take on 'hysteria' -- she usually falls flat with these types of scenes. Loved the twist at the end with her hopping in the car and there's EJ at the wheel! I'm wondering what'll happen with Lucas, crushed legs and covered in snow.

Tek/Lexie were out of place in the earlier part of the episode, but once they got involved with the drama of the other stories (EJ/John) it all smoothed out.

I was impressed with Brody Hutzler today! I was actually scared for Hope... Patrick's lost his damn mind!

What did everyone else think? The most action-packed episode in a long while! Two gun-toting maniacs, one pregnant lady held hostage, one man (fatally?) wounded, and a man crushed after a cabin roof caves in.

Previews for tomorrow look great!

LEAD ACTRESS: Alison Sweeney and Kristian Alfonso

LEAD ACTOR: Peter Reckell and Bryan R. Datillo

SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Deidre Hall and Judi Evans

SUPPORTING ACTOR: James Reynolds and Josh Taylor

YOUNGER ACTRESS: Farrah Fath and Martha Madison

YOUNGER ACTOR: Jason Cook

On what planet does Josh Taylor deserve a nomination? And Farah Fath over Rachel Melvin?? Seriously??

I saw someone mention on Soap Central that they saw a commercial on SOAPnet that said AW will be moving back to it's 1PM est/12PM cst........

HERE is a link to a post on SOAPnet's board that also mentions this.....

On a side note: We are seeing more of Holden and Lily's daughters than Luke. As SOW put on there thumbs down, why are Faith and cant recall other daughters name(thats how much I care for the character ) featured more than Luke. Has Luke gone back into the closet?

Gawd! I hate the writers for doing a 180 with Luke. Lily woke up from her coma and Luke was pushed to the sidelines. Idiot writers!

Believing that a smug, swaggering record producer could charm Gwen is no easier than buying Will putting the "ho" in "homeless" with schemer Jade. After Gwen and Will faced the Slasher and emerged stronger than ever, slick NuAdam (Who changed faces faster than Will's other brother Paul changes hairstyles) doesn't even make the cut. For his part, Broadway actor Matt Cavenaugh certainly has the pipes, but like any new character, Adam needs to sing backup before he sings lead.

Worst of all, instead of getting the band back together, Adam's arrival seems to have separated Will and Gwen from pals Casey and Maddie-- and the new lineup of Jade, Adam, Gwen, and Will is anything but four-part harmony.

This is one discordant ditty that definitely needs a new arrangement.

What about the Devil Card?

There is a Devil card (#15) that has to do with possession. Now-a-days that has as much to do with our national obsession with our waist lines and smile lines that show we have a few years on us. If this card shows up in a reading, then that person is "possessed" with an unhealthy desire or expectation. And let's face it, 50 year-olds running around trying to look like they are 20 again are possessed by something.

Back to Top

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are there any other scary Tarot cards?

A few. Death (#8), the 3 of Swords, 7 of Cups, and the 10 of Swords come to mind. The "death" of something can be a very good thing. The types of situations where card number 8 may show up could include the end of a tough time, the trading of a dead-end job for something better, or getting out of a heart-wrenching relationship.

The 3 of Swords, which go through a heart, usually show up when someone has been hurt in the past and is still licking their wounds or the person is courting trouble and needs to stop before they get hurt.

The 7 of Cups, which looks spooky with all sorts of things bubbling up, shows up often when there are many choices or offers. It's up to the person asking the question to pick the correct one or walk away.

The 10 of Swords, a guy who isn't going anywhere fast, often shows up when someone feels betrayed or when the odds are stacked against him/her.

My Comment: After reading this, the devil card is clearly appropriate for Steve, but the Death card has no meaning at all in John's case.....or am I overlooking something.

Where was your most awkward fan encounter?

"I was actually in line at the grocery store, baseball cap on, no make up, and in pajamas because I had to go buy tampons. This group of girls infront of me turned around and said "Oh my God! You're Belle!" and all I could think was 'I loook like crap and I am holding a big box of tampons!'"

1. Jean Passanante and Christopher Goutman FIRED.

2. Katie gone from Oakdale!

3. A storyline for Bob, Kim, Lucinda, Lisa and Barbara.

4. Either kill Paul off or recast him.

5. Give Luke a love interest. Let him fall in love!

I was LMAO @ Whitney when she said in a really whiney voice "There's a body in my wedding cake......Chad?"........

Dear viewer:

Thank you for your email and your interest in our programming. Please be advised that this rumor is not true. Passions will follow the same broadcast schedule in the New Year as it has in the past.

Thank you for watching Global Television.

December is (almost) over! So what were your oppinions on soaps in December?

I only watched DAYS... But it was amazing! Loved almost every episodes! But even the ones that were slower were very good actually!

So DAYS gets an A from me!

Weird. And why is B&B so keen on obeserving people's past?

I also like the Kendall/Annie scenes - and all the Greenlee talk. I think I'm officially an Annie lover. They could be great friends too. Also, I could watch Emma and Ryan all day - they are just so cute. It might be the most contrived thing on the planet, but I love that Ryan is her father - she is TOO cute with him.

The Zach/Bianca scenes are nice too - as I always loved their little relationship....the dialogue is a little repetitive though - but that's just Zach not being able to open up that much.

Too much time is being spent on Josh/Babe today - but I'm liking the Colby/Sean stuff. I REALLY liked how Colby questioned whether what she's doing is right or not. It shows she really cares about doing what is right for her brother - she loves her brother and isn't just being a bratty b!tch to Babe.

Zarf and JR are pretty funny, as JR just doesn't like him you can tell.
