Ron's attempt at trying to make Eric edgy. The way he's been acting it really wouldn't surprise me if he's fallen off the wagon again.

^Same. I liked the villainous three Scott, Ann, and Paul wreaking havoc in Madison. I think if DePriest had stayed, their stories would've wrapped up differently, with some of the stories possibly intersecting.

Paul Rauch, from OLTL in the 80s, to SB, to Guiding Light; bright lighting, pastels, blondes, blondes, and blondes. A few big sets here and there too. In addition, shows like GL and OLTL lost their diversity.

I have no doubt that if the show had a steady and consistent writing team in 1975 they would've expanded to an hour that or the following year. The new opening, Nick's brief return and the one hour long episode, it seemed they were gearing up for the idea becoming a reality, but show just couldn't seal the deal.

the show just posted the above in regards to what what will happen to Zack 😢

I have a feeling she lied too. I can't shake the feeling that the show was dropping red herrings with who it could be, maybe not in the scripts, but the direction of the past few episodes. They were switching to Bobby, Freddie, even Harvey while we were watching this play out with Lily/Stacey. Even the Alfie/Stacey brief convo had me wondering if they'd paint him as a possible suspect.

This would've been brilliant to watch.

I was a bit disappointed how they basically ignored Janine/Stacey and Janine/Whitney this go around. Especially the Janine/Whitney angle considering Whitney and Mick always had a "thing". And with Janine's final scenes with Scarlet, Ricky, and Sonia I'm shocked no one brought up how Janine callously killed Scarlet's father. Overall I did like the episode. The show is strong compared to other UK soaps at the moment, but there are still a few glaring holes in the storytelling and canvas. Hopefully they will work on those over time The episode was their highest viewed episode for Xmas since 2019. And the show is seemingly up compared to last year.

Really enjoyed the Christmas episode, so I'm looking forward to viewing todays episode and the Victor tribute. DAYS is one of the last few soaps left that still has the capability to be written with heart. Speaking of the xmas episode, I'm not usually fond of ghostly visits, when used by Ron on this soap. I think he uses it way too often and as a substitute to move a plot along. However the visit from Abigail this Christmas was written unlike the other ones, instead was treated with care and the dialogue wasn't as clunky. It just seems like out of all the ghostly visits Ron has written on this show, this was the most justified and gave closure.

This.

Omg RIP

Oh wow. This is so sad and unexpected. 💔

The show is still going to suck. 🙄

Jordi? As Nikolas? Oh my

It’s nothing short of amazing how Chris Clenshaw has kept much of the casting ins and outs under wraps these days.

OooOoOO *fingers crossed*

Yep, Hayley Sparks! Thanks!

During BE's maternity leave in the early 2000s, they hired a capable and I think charismatic actress to temp for her, the actress's name escapes me, but they should have brought her back when BE vacated the role.

Happy with the prospect of a possible Daniel and Lily reunion; just know that eventually Josh will pull the rug out from fans like me who adored the pairing.

DAYS was a let down this November Sweeps. GH though not perfect, and their storytelling choices leaves plenty to be desired, was somewhat entertaining. B&B also a let down. Y&R I've been burned by this show so many times, I don't even pay attention to it, though Chelsea's attempt to take her own life and Amanda catching Devon and Abby were written surprisingly well. DAYS: D GH: C- B&B: F Y&R D+

Victor's reign of terror is going to be dragged out as much as Peter and Cyrus's. BET.

I know it.

Were Brenda/Sonny the first time they used this troupe of wounded gangster being taken care of his eventual love interest? Sigh. Maybe if they hadn't taken this route, and played them naturally like they were before (Joss and Dex butting heads, the whole scene of her looking in the garbage for Donna's neckless seemed less forced) it wouldn't feel like the writers weren't throwing everything including the kitchen sink to prop these two. I can't help but to get flashbacks of the Ford brothers on OLTL when I see Dex on our screen. A new pet for Frank to prop, and sacrifice other characters for.

The show is trying to make Esme into Nelle 2.0. Nelle wasn't even a character deserving of a clone. It just reads as plot driven and desperate, with no idea as to what direction they want to take Trina/Spencer or Esme.
