Bright Eyes

I wouldn't be surprised if when he does go, it'll be some big murder mystery, but we still need him to call in his favour from Martin before that happens.

The problem with Joey is, Jon Lindstrom is hot and sexy to 70ish year old MVJ. But in no discernible world would sexy as hell 40ish Vanessa ever even blink in his direction. It's laughable.

Rolf's return makes my teeth itch. I have to pray Cwikly only brought him back to kill him off again, for good this time, because Susan, Bonnie, and Rolf are sticking around is infuriating. I also have to wonder if this mad scientist stuff will be tied to who tried to attack Alex? Jeremy was literally wearing a mad scientist costume ... you can see where my mind connects. Excited for the all the returns next week!

Ashley has to be one of the most insufferable assh*les on a soap in a long time. A Mary Sue to the extreme of inanity. Part of me hopes that Jan, as Derek's staunch defender, but who clearly gentle-parented her spoiled brat way too hard, has a one-night stand with him that'll really throw that pea-brained moron into a tailspin. Naomi count your days. Please someone slap the sanctimony and hypocrisy out of her mouth. Jacob mentioned Elon had a heart attack ... ya'll know what that means. If Vernon is planning a romantic surprise for Anita, pass me the barf bag. It would be so unnecessary. A soap opera needs heart and love, of course, but all we've seen of the Duprees is them all blowing smoke up each other's asses at every opportunity. Where is the inner-family drama? Bill Bell would be bored out his mind. It was absolutely a mistake to not have this show be only half an hour. It would be so easy to trim the fat and drudgery to make this show more put together.

Alex Kiriakis, now played by Robert Scott Wilson, was spawned because of it.

Lauren Koslow looked like an ephemeral goddess from an oil painting. Beautiful.

Oscar nominated actress Pauline Collins, who portrayed the iconic Shirley Valentine, has passed away... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/pauline-collins-dead-shirley-valentine-1236420341/

I'm a fellow Canadian who watches it on the CTV website for free. Very happy they made the move from CHCH.

This has probably already been seen by most, but I'm posting it because I find it interesting that it's the most watched OLTL clip on YouTube with over a million views and it has only been uploaded for a few months. Personally, it'll always be Max and Gabrielle for me, but the always fantastic Mia Korf and James DePaiva have loads of chemistry and MIa Korf seamlessly makes your heart break and ache all at the same time. How desperately I wish soaps could still be done this way.

The guest cast list for next week is going to be insane!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rafe remembering how Johnny was at Tesoro/Trey's age was a continuity error right? Rafe didn't know him until he was at least a year old. I actually like that Rafe immediately started with his foot on EJ's neck. EJ deserves no grace at any point from plenty of people, and it broke up the endless love and warmth of the episode with some mild drama. Bring on the gala next week and all the returns to go with it!

Jason47 has him listed as the following 3 roles: RAY STEWART Salesman 1987 RAY STEWART Mr. Lyons 1989 RAY STEWART Saxton's Clerk 1990 So doesn't look like he played anyone of note.

Never been a Trekkie by any means, but that is pretty cool to see nonetheless. Of course, the end of the article has a soap 'fact' that's wildly inaccurate.

I'm hoping this will just be some random guest character, because she's not an actress. Pat Sajak was on DAYS as Kevin Hathaway for one episode on November 9, 1983. I don't know what his story was, but I'm pretty sure he didn't have any connection to Megan.

Sorry mate, I also think the mystery culprit was going for Alex and the reason he missed getting stabbed was because Alex ran to push Cat of the way. Question is, if it's hopefully not Jeremy who tried to kill him, why would anyone have a reason to want Alex dead? Chanel mentioning SIDS gave me pause that Tesoro could be going the same way. This could all add to Marlena's distress considering how it would impact Johnny and, of course, because it would remind her of DJ. Chad asking Jeremy to return Rachel to Marlena made me hope for a redemption reunion scene for Marlena and Jeremy, but alas, I was disappointed all over again.

That E.T. theme so effortlessly brings about a flood of nostalgia for me, almost to the point of an emotional release. Take me back!

Wow, can't even spell his own mother's name correctly? The disrespect!

Trevor Donovan's Jeremy was a mess, but I vaguely remember some good scenes towards the end with Maggie, so I hope the characters get to properly reunite soon.

I was very disappointed in Jeremy and Marlena's first scene together. They couldn't have taken a couple minutes for her to ask after his parents, and/or have a small moment regarding Laura, his grandmother and one of her best friends? It would have been so simple and added so much.

All of this is perfect for a rainy night like tonight. My contribution of a film I watched recently, plus it's sequel...

Victor Webster as Nicholas Alamain are my earliest memories og a man being objectified and liking it.

@I Am A Swede Wonderful thread idea. I've loved listening to every film score/theme posted in this thread so far.

What a relief that Suzanne Rogers is going to be alright, and long may Maggie stay put in Salem for years to come, with that beautiful head of hair in tact.

One critique against Tyler Joseph Andrews: He throws his hands and arms around too much in every scene. I'm happy to meet Hank Northrop as Liam. Solid start so far and a strong presence. He worked well with James Reynolds. Just the thought of his first scene with Deidre Hall makes me wispy. Interested to learn exactly how he's tied to the Selejko family. Happily, Jeremy was without one of those awfully cheap and ugly leather jackets that all the Horton men wear. JJ unfortunately continues not to be as lucky. Jada going on a date with Jeremy is a wildly blatant Horton replacement/switch out from Shawn. Unless the writers are going to grace us with some sort of Jada/Jeremy/Belle/Shawn quad, which I highly doubt. Of course, Michael Roark is an infinitely better actor than Brandon Beemer could ever hope to be, so that's a slight win. Shame that TPTB seem to feel that both can't be in play though. It may feel like small potatoes, but I would love if these arguments lead to permanent end to Paulina and Abe. I'm a Paulina hater as I find Jackée Harry a horrible actress on this show, so the end of her marriage lead to the end of her time on the show as well, I'd be very pleased. I can only hope Jackée has had enough and decided to move on. I just hope if she were to leave (which is probably just be grasping at straws) that Chanel would remain and her place on the show wouldn't be diminished.

Thanks for posting, Faulkner. She was a true gem of a woman and a great actress. With all the different people she worked it, you could just imagine the stories she had to tell, and she was one of the last to ever be able to tell them. A true loss.
