Next up....Kristin impersonates Victor with a "Victor mask!" lol I tend to cut RC some slack because I know he's a true soap fan, but all this mask wearing is just lazy writing at this point. Seeing that short phone conversation between Jack and Jennifer reminded me how much I miss CM in the role. What did they do? Have her film twenty phone scenes in one day.

I agree that the AMC/OLTL reboots were a few years ahead of their time. People were freaking out about watching online, and now much of the audience does so for many shows. I think if the shows were cancelled now and then moved online they would have had a much better chance. I could see DAYS moving online, on Peacock for instance, in some format. It may not be a 5 times a week thing, but it may give the show a chance to reinvent itself.

I thought Laken #3, Shell Danielson, was quite good, but they struggled writing for her. The struggled writing for all of the Lockridges which I never understood because I thought the family as a whole was quite fun to watch.

I do think Julie is one character that has done well under RC.

How is the guy who plays Doug 95 years old and still working and nailing it?! I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night!

Killing off the character of Caroline just for a quick plot point was very short-sighted as are most story decisions on B&B.

Wait? What? I actually like her, and she's in a huge story with Xander. I love the two of them together! Why are we losing characters like Jennifer (played by CM) and Sarah, but have characters that are beyond played out (Nicole, Rafe, Chloe) on our screens?

I do enjoy Julie's snarkiness....One thing I have enjoyed about RC is his use of Julie.

I SOOOOOO don't need another mask story. The last one irritated me enough as is.

Wow...it's interesting to see how small the cast was the time.

I'm actually enjoying Jackee Harry much more than I thought I would. I love how she says anything and points out how whitewashed Salem is. She manages to crack me up, and that hasn't happened watching this show in a long time. It's great to see more diversity on the show. I wish they would keep Theo full-time no matter who plays him. I have my suspicions about who she really is to Lani though.

He really does!

Did we ever find out the whole story about why the Dobsons got rid of Dane Witherspoon? If you watch the pilot, Joe is definitely of the show.

I'm really bummed her stint ended. I haven't enjoyed the character of Jennifer that much in years. She brought a whole new energy to the role. I am hopeful she may be back at some point down the road. After all, how long can Jennifer stay in Boston and what will they do with Jack in the meantime?

I think when people started changing romantic partners at the blink of the eye often with little motivation is when I began to lose interest after watching for years. For example, we went through the whole Brooke and Thorne relationship which I thought was very good only for her to drop him in a single episode to try and be with Ridge again. We won't even get into the whole Liam and his harem "story." The show often feels like it has no end game, so you can't get invested in any of the stories.

Oh man...I really enjoyed her!

Wow...I didn't see that ending coming! Although, I doubt that Laura is actually dead, but this certainly complicates Gwen becoming "part of the family."

It's obvious that DAYS actors don't work over their guarantee now which is why stories/characters are dropped for periods of time. It's also why big events such as weddings, holidays leave out certain characters who should be there.

It's hard for us to see anyone besides LS as Vivian. But, I loved seeing Linda Dano on my screen again. I do think her more toned down take on the role was better than RS. I'm intrigued to see how she develops once she gets into the hang of the role. I don't think they've mentioned how long she'll actually be around. So true! Cady doesn't even feel like a recast just a few short months later. Jack was a little over the top, but I did like the reference to Laura's history...it's not the first time she's kept a HUGE family secret.

I gotta admit...the 90s hair on Flashback Jennifer and Flashback Laura made me laugh out loud. It was a little much, but it was fun at the same time. I've almost completly forgotten Melissa Reeves ever played Jennifer. Cady works that well for me. I soooo hope she stays.

I have a sense that there's another big twist about Gwen. Maybe the woman she thought was her mother wasn't at all.

I'm LOVING Cady as Jennifer. I haven't been this invested in the character since maybe the 90s. She's brought new life to the role and clicks with everyone.

I kinda thought the same thing. I mean Maggie and Bonnie have a history going all the way back to fighting over Mickey. So, it would make sense that Mags will never be a Bonnie fan, but the dialogue seemed much harsher than would come from her.

When will this great show ever land on one of the streaming channels?

I think it could work. Will it be different? It has to be. It's primetime. It'll be a smaller cast obviously. But, it could be a great way to sort of reinvent Agnes Nixon's creation. I'm hopeful because of the people involved. La Lucci HAS TO be in it.
