Same 🤣

Yep he did use Meta quite well, and it was the never heard again Lighthouse Gala was first mentioned. He seemed to tease a pairing between Alan and Claire too.

Margaret DePriest's time on The Doctors was the last time I was heavily engaged in watching the soap, since the height of the Pollacks tenure. Despite a few missteps, I was enthralled by Ann/Paul/Scott and their manipulations over everybody in Madison. Everything after that was hit or miss. DePriest should have stayed longer, and later on Marland's tenure was a snooze fest. I didn't find Sarah Dancy all that bad, she just lacked an edge about her. I liked the original actress better. I enjoyed Lloyd "Lucky" Gold's tenure on GL, things were actually happening under him compared to his predecessor (cigarette girl, Blake becoming a joke, and mob shootouts in the Bauer kitchen.) With the exception of the time travel storyline, I enjoyed it. The show only got better when Taggart joined, and later Carolyn Culliton. Things got worse when Conboy/Weston's episodes started airing.

It's interesting how I can actually sympathize with both Mindy and Alex (Bev and KS) in their rivalry.

This makes me so happy ❤️

Hmm this is so much detailed and deeper than what I've read before on the story. The summaries, though helpful, don't do the show justice from Russell/Hall's time on OLTL.

Wikipedia says from Dec. 1984 to Jan. 1987

Soap Twitter is mad 😂

Sounds like Josh Griffith penned todays episode

Just like the culmination to the Chase/Willow/Michelle story, the execution to the Sonny is alive reveal has just been executed wrong. It should have been revealed early on to Britt that Jason and Carly were a marriage of convenience, with Britt/Jason still carrying on a secret (or not so secret) love affair. Both Carly (in true Carly fashion) and the mob should have manipulated the situation to where Jason would have no choice but to call things off with Britt. Britt reacts badly to the news and it sends Jason straight into Carly's arms, which leads to the pair developing actual feelings for each other. But again the execution was off, and Britt has seemingly been left twisting in the wind. If the show wanted to keep Jax alive(ugh) while knowing the secret of Sonny's whereabouts, I would've had Nina run off with Sonny/Mike, perhaps Mike kills Peter, and the pair go on the run from the law. Maybe while they are on the run an accident happens which causes Nina to confess the truth to Mike who she believes is on the brink of death. It's so obvious there are too many cooks in the kitchen with this show, from network interference to interference from Frank. It's disappointing, but I must say I continue to watch because I am genuinely interested in seeing what happens to the characters and couples on the show.

I’m sure this was mentioned elsewhere but looking at the canvas for characters who would’ve been the most vulnerable to possession I think it should have been Nicole after the dissolution of her marriage, being told to stay away from Rafe(roll eyes), etc. I can’t help to have this nagging feeling that Ron will using the devil as a way to progress several stalled storylines; the devil possesses Brady and he seduces Chloe, the devil then hops to Allie and she gives Tripp hell and seduces Chanel, and so on.

Today’s ending got me excited 😆 (let me enjoy this moment I know lol) that was a good Friday cliffhanger

The show is filled with old, stale stories, that are a rehash of the not so distant past. The only thing that is new and fresh is Johnny/Allie/Trip/Chanel.

I understand the show wanting to give Justin a crisis of faith in Bonnie, and Patch of all people taking her side after initially resenting her months ago, but the show should have went about it in a different way. This story is atrocious and lazy.

Bravo tweeted about Days:Beyond Salem 😂

Those fight scenes made me miss Ed Scott and his production values.

At this point he's just trolling the audience. It's gotta be intentional after he was shredded on twitter.

I'm scared how a dollar store possession story is going to play out on our screens 😩

^True, and Pritchett finally got an Emmy for his work.

I believe the period shortly after the Pollacks left was a pivotal time for the show, one that the show wasn't able to fully rise up to the occasion for, and thus the start of the overall the downward spiral for it. ABC was busily gaining steam with expanding their shows and the penning several epic stories, or building on them. TD was so inconsistent storywise and with their characters, that it hurt viewer investment, and I can sort of see why someone might tune in to OLTL or RH at the time, which had storylines building or hitting their climaxes.

Really missed opportunity there with having Anna on the canvas in the early 90s. I would've enjoyed seeing Anna go up against a teenage Sami lol

Didn’t see this coming lol I like it

Maybe I was reading too much into the scenes, but it seemed that they were hinting at a possible Jake and Ava pairing at one point. They were discussing Ava's mobster ties, and Jake's knowledge of her family, and they seemed to have chemistry.

Give DAYS to the Cullitons/Broderick, and let Ron have his go at DOOL: Beyond Salem.

The mid 60s must have been quite the renaissance for Secret Storm.
