Bright Eyes

Also host (with Barbara Walters) of the 1st Daytime Emmy Awards!

Just from that promo, I like what I see from Serena Scott Thomas. I'd think I'd like her a lot if I could actually stomach watching.

How peculiar that both Neighbours and Home and Away released promos surrounding one of their characters dying, except with H&A it'll 100% be a main character.

With Arianne Zucker's exit, here are the 10 actors who have been consecutively on contract the longest: Josh Taylor 2004- James Reynolds 2004- Suzanne Rogers 2004- Eric Martsolf 2008- Deidre Hall 2011- Mary Beth Evans 2015- Drake Hogestyn 2017- Paul Telfer 2019- Billy Flynn 2019- Stephen Nichols 2019-

I have so many questions ... what a mad-lib of a tweet!

Al Calderon's Tiktok came on my FYP today (he's hot as hell btw) and I scrolled to this video that may be a potential spoiler. I can't know for sure if he's talking about filming DAYS, though.

He's been a Head-Writer consistently for over 15 years, the best thing he could for his creativity is take a break.

Farewell My Concubine (1993) - The first and only Chinese language film to win at Cannes! The first quarter is seeped in child abuse, but somehow the film engages you to keep watching past it all by latching on to the main characters' journey of getting lost in the character he's being poised to play for his entire life. A movie that transgresses through decades, the great, yet tragic as I would grow to learn after watching, Leslie Cheung portrays Douzi/Cheng Dieyi, whose emotional rawness hooks you and breaks your heart. Gong Li as his pseudo romantic rival is fantastic as an ex-prostitute who knows Douzi is a threat to her marriage. Friendship is the strength of this movie, and betrayal the dramatic explosion that makes this film fascinating and painful.

Legally, they had no choice. Corday fired writers after a strike before and paid the price. Of course, I don't know if he could have gone earlier than he is, but at least he's finally gone all the same.

Ah, I was actually watching then and remember Faith killing her grandmother. Didn't remember her character's name. Thanks for the information.

I must ask, who the hell is Catherine Flynn?

The newest love of my life: Dodi El Circy, 28 years old

I've always envisioned Jason Tam as Sandy and Tony's child, personally.

Why was Carly wearing that? It seems like a really out of character choice.

Well there was Ed on OLTL starting in the early 70s, so I guess he was an outlier.

Quoting myself to say, I just finished it and the final scene ever (won't spoil it) was actually kind of perfect and unexpected.

I'm halfway through and I think I can say this is the most balls to the wall, fucked up, slutty season yet. I'm going to miss this crazy f*cking show!

Binging Elite's final season!

Why was he allowed to speak her name?

Days of Our Lives, of all the long running soaps, probably has the least amount of success stories, but when they do they don't [!@#$%^&*] around.

Isn't Gary Tomlin part of the directing team these days? With his experience, maybe he's taking over for Valentini?

I know he has his detractors, but I've always loved Rick Hearst. It was so easy for me to always root for Ric against Sonny/Carly and he had great chemistry with Becky Herbst and Nancy Lee Grahn. However, I hope that TPTB won't end up punishing him for being able to get one over on them in the past.

The Crying Game (1992) - Only three things take away from this film for me: 1) My ignorance about world issues regarding the IRA. 2) The casting of Forest Whitaker. I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion, but his horrible accent partly took me out of his scenes. And 3) I already was vaguely aware of the twist because AdamTGhani has posted about it before on his Insta, and I watch everything he posts. And not for nothing, I kind of clocked Dyl right away anyway. Still, the action mixed with the sincere tenderness was inspired. Having both the worlds of Fergus/Jimmy be so separate until they crash into each other was perfectly timed. Stephen Rea and Jaye Davidson deservedly got nominated for Oscars, and Miranda Richardson was sexy, dangerous, and unlike Whitaker, her change of accent is flawless.

The Misfits (1951) - This film was right up my street. Of the few Marilyn Monroe films I've seen, this one seemed most close to home to who she was and what she had to deal with from men and society. Clark Gable should be proud this was his swansong, though how eerily impactful that he died so shortly after a film about characters who've lost their way in life. There's a scene in the film where he's drunk and publicly cries out desperately for his grown children who by chance saw him at the same bar and immediately escaped him when they got a chance because he'd always been a deadbeat that is really confronting and disturbing because of how one usually conflates the idea of Clark Gable, the ultimate leading man, to being strong, dependent, but turned into a reckless, worthless, fool. The ending is a relief. Highly recommend.

In addition to this hopefully being the end of Leo, in connection with wanting the show to not be written as a joke, I also hope we never have to see Rolf again either. We haven't seen him since November, but it's always a scary time when it comes to Halloween to see what stupidity Carlivati will force upon us.
