When Fen introduced Trey as his boyfriend. Michael said to Trey "It's fantastic to finally meet you in person at last." That implies Michael and Lauren already knew Fen was gay and had a boyfriend, but hadn't met him. Gloria, Kevin, and Chloe for sure all looked like they were hearing it for the first time.

Even though we might not ever see Fen again for another 5 years, I am glad the show made him gay. Ideally, we should have saw him explore his sexuality and come to terms with it on screen. Missed opportunity. The show can make up for it by investing in him as a character going forward, but I'm sure they won't, they'll stick to the same old [!@#$%^&*] instead.

Even Zach knew the Leo/Sonny story was crap!

Can SONY dig out the old Eileen Davidson plan out of mothball and have Zach Tinker do both DAYS and YR? I love him as both Fen and Sonny, especially now that Fen is gay.

Kevin hasn't even got the speakership yet and one "moderate" Republican has already come out against the rules package, which includes a lot of the promises he just made to the crazies to get their speakership vote.

I suspect we are going to hear the term "Discharge petition" a lot over the next 2 years. Will be just about the only way anything will pass in the House. No idea if this is true will come to pass, but hilarious if the "moderate Rs" do end up watering down some of these promises McCarthy made.

DAYS should be ashamed at how they've wasted Zach Tinker. People fell in love with him as Sonny after just 1 Beyond Salem episode. For a recast to be accepted so quickly, doesn't happen all the time. After nearly a year on the mothership, nothing to show for it. They've done nothing with him. I don't get it. The only thing I can think of is DAYS is either too afraid to split up Sonny and Will or too afraid to recast Will. I get the last Will recast was a disaster, but it's also clear Chandler is never coming back full time. Will's too important of a character to just be popping in for 3-4 episodes every 6 months. If they don't want to do that, give Sonny a real new love interest. Someone that people actually like and can root for (IE not Leo). Almost every other couple has been given opportunities to break up, cheat, etc...why has Sonny and Will not been afforded the same? Ron when he explained why he killed off Abby said couples where one half is full time and one half is on recurring is too hard to write for, yet despite Sonny and Will being the same boat, hasn't done anything about it.

That is pretty much the exact same story that's been in my head for months. This would WAY better than anything else happening right now.

I agree with all of this. Well said! This story is SO stupid. I thought Zach and Chandler did a great job with the material today, it's been ages since we had them is a good argument, too bad it was about Leo. This Sonny from the past few weeks, is NOT Sonny. His friendship with Leo is not believable. The man sexually assaulted him. That is just not something Sonny should forgive. Sonny threatening to give up his CEO job and picking Leo to stay over Will? Does the show think we are morons? I did like Sonny bringing Will's cheating past back and he should have also brought up Will befriending his killer Ben (which was equally as bad and ridiculous), but other than that, it's hard to side with Sonny and Leo here. If Sonny is so worried about Leo being homeless, he could have just paid his hotel bill. This story would work so much better if it was Paul instead of Leo. That's a triangle that'd actually work. Alternatively, the show should have revealed Chad was bisexaul and explored Sonny and Chad after Abby died. Will coming home to see Sonny with Chad would have been WAY better and more interesting. The Chad/Stephanie/Alex triangle is dreadful too, none of those three have any chemistry.

Well well well.... My post from earlier today might end up being right.

Regardless of who wins the House, if the majority is only 1-2 seats, these next two years are going to be ungovernable. First, Congresspeople miss votes for lots of reasons. If McCarthy follows through and gets rid of proxy voting and forces members to be physically present to vote, guess what's going to happen when a couple of people's flight's get delayed or cancelled... Then there is vacancies, due to health, death, resignation, etc. Vacancies in the House are MUCH more common than the Senate. In fact, I think few people realize, this current Congress has had at least 1 vacant seat almost every day. Hell it started out with a vacant seat because someone died between the election in November 2020 and when Congress was sworn in, in January 2021. Then there is the split between the MAGA wing of the GOP and those the more moderates that aren't' nut jobs. If I was the Dems, I'd be looking at the Alaskan legislature. What happened there was even though the Republicans have the most seats, because their party was so split, the Moderate Republicans formed a coalition with the Democrats and they've had a majority for a few years now. That's what I'd try to do, those Republicans that won in CA and NY in areas that Biden won, they likely going to lose their seat or be primaried by the MAGA wing in 2024 anyways. Make a few promises to them, find a moderate that can be a caretaker speaker for 2 years. Otherwise it's going to be a HOT mess.

Victor was one of my soap curmudgeons. I will miss him greatly.

So Zach did an impromptu live stream on his twitch today. He said he was waiting for a costume fitting for something he is filming. I'm 99% sure from the buildings in the background, he's at the Burbank Studios where DAYS films. Make of that what you will.

Zach Tinker and Billy Flynn have a zoom event on Oct 30th, hopefully one of the lucky people going asks Zach about these rumors. He might not be able to answer but no harm in trying.

The ratings aren't good and even if they were, his character is dead anyways. He was only in it for 3-4 episodes.

If he's gone, then I'll likely be as well. He's one of the few reasons to watch the show.

I agree they are wasting Sonny. Both Will and Sonny expressed some concerns about their long distance marriage this week, so maybe this is heading for a divorce or legal separation, but this current set up of Zach being on full time and Chandler popping in every 6-8 weeks is NOT working. As much as I love this version of WilSon, they need to either break them up and give Sonny a new love interest (that's NOT Leo) or recast Will.

If they want Alex to work in the long term, they need to drop the "Quagmire from Family Guy" aspect and focus on his bond with his brother Sonny for a while, that's the one aspect of the character that works. The only time I enjoy Alex is in scenes with Sonny. RSW and Zach work very well together. Chad and Stephanie have no chemistry and it is way too soon for a kiss. This whole Chad/Stephanie/Alex triangle is awful. Am I the only one when Chad was describing Stephanie felt like that fit Sonny more? If DAYS wasn't so damn chicken, THAT's the direction they should be heading. Then the stuff with Allie and Chanel is so offensive. Overall the writing on this is not only bad, but boring.

I have a slightly different opinion. So I do think the show has improved and is far more watchable on a day to day basis. Under Jon Sen, I EE was nearly unwatchable by the end. However, I find Chris Clenshaw's tenure so far very boring. The only story I find bad is the Linda/Mick/Janine triangle, but there also isn't any stories that are amazing that makes me want to tune in and talk about the show everyday. There's no A list story to hook me in and get excited. It's early yet, but so far, I'm not all that impressed by what he'd done so far. The show feels average, which isn't good enough in this age.

I haven't posted in a while, mostly because I think DAYS is really bad. This week has been especially awful, but today's episode, I will admit I was shocked when Allie point blank asked Will if he and Sonny have ever had a threesome. I knew Allie was going to think about it for her and Chanel, but was not at all expecting Allie to ask Will. Will's non answer of "I can't talk about it without Sonny" heavily implies they may have had threesomes. That's the most interesting thing DAYS has revealed about Sonny and Will in years. Now that the show is on streaming, I hope they explore that more.

Agreed. I have no issues with the show giving Sonny a hot affair story, but not with Leo. It should be with Paul, Andrew or someone new. Hell, I'd take Sonny with Evan over Leo. Leo needs to go.

That Sonny, Will and Leo scene better be a dream sequence or misdirection. Just the idea of them hooking up is gross. Leo sexually assaulted him! Sonny forgiving and covering for him this week was bad enough. What's the bullshit reason that Leo's staying at the Kiriakis mansion? I'm shocked Gwen wasn't in either promo version (unless I somehow missed her) What also I don't see being talked about much. That scene where Justin and Alex is in some sort of cabin, where it looks like someone is tied up and then Bonnie comes in. What's that about? I'd LOVE it if it's Justin finding out that Adrianne is alive after all.

So I was rewatching Season 1 of Beyond Salem and I noticed all the episodes say they expire in 13 days, while season 2 doesn't. Seems odd they'd remove season 1 just as the mothership is moving over. Errol, can you confirm if the episodes are leaving soon?

This show. Spending so much time redeeming two characters that most viewers don't like or give a damn about. Gwen and Leo. This isn't the Young and the Restless. They both need to go. They are destroying Jack as a character. Matt Ashford looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Not that I blame him. The Sarah and Xander should be mad. They got how many failed wedding and the for the successful one, it was that sorry and sad affair. Where's the payoff in that? The Leo and Sonny scenes today was beyond stupid. First, there would have been guards stationed outside Sonny's room. Two, there's almost no way Leo would have been to dress himself as a nurse and not get caught. This isn't campy fun, it's dumb. Why is Sonny giving him the time of day and not only quick to forgive Leo? Why is Sonny covering for the guy that falsely accused him of harassment, then sexuality assaulted him? Even though Leo took away the call button, I'm supposed to believe Sonny wouldn't yell for security? Also where the hell is Will? Is he taking a dump or something, because there's is NO way I'd believe he'd leave Sonny's bedside that quickly, especially after being away for months.

As someone who likes Nicole and Eric as a couple this story is making me hate them. I've over this sex dream nonsense and Nicole obsession. I felt like Chloe was speaking for me today. I hate Bonnie. Swapping Adrienne for her was a big mistake. The Sonny stuff was the only thing interesting today. Thank goodness for Zach Tinker, if Freddie was still in the role, I'd probably be rooting for the knife. 🤣 Does anyone care except for Ron that Leo might be getting framed? I do see some theories that it IS Leo who killed Abby and stabbed Sonny but he doesn't remember or has a split personality. It'd take that theory if it means getting rid of Leo.
