So dull. Her story sounds so exciting on paper and then you watch her and her and Josh and you are like zzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Nick was the most exciting thing to come out of that.

I'm not arguing Sloan did something really stupid by leaving the baby unattended. I am just wondering why everyone was acting like Sloan was being unreasonable with her reactions to Nicole. I don't think she was. Just because Sloan did something stupid doesn't make Nicole doing something stupid right.

I would argue the issue with Melissa was never LT, but the show's inability to find a suitable love interest for her. In an era when supercouples reigned supreme she never had a pairing (besides Pete) that caught on at all. Jessica was dull from start to finish though lol.

Today's episode was okay. I thought Chad/Stephanie broke up when she moved out. Guess not. Decent scenes. I am not too heartbroken over it. So nothing happened with Harris which I assumed, but is that it? Is this plot point going anywhere lol? As far as Paulina, I am interested in the story, but I thought this woman was getting regular checkups after all those panic attacks and issues she was having during the Sloan saga. The Nicole/Eric/Sloan/EJ stuff was good. This part of the story was really rushed though. The kidnapping should have lasted more than 1 episode. And, yes, clearly Sloan is wrong because she did steal Nicole's baby, but people are acting like she is crazy for having a perfectly normal reaction. Nicole has demanded a DNA test and now kidnapped Jude and everyone is like you are completely overreacting Sloan! With the current facts the characters have she really isn't at all lol.

I liked him all the way through the Diana/John story. Or at least didn't dislike him. I wouldn't mind him coming in and out. I wouldn't mind him as a "friend of" if you will. I wouldn't even mind him as supporting. The main character nonsense is my issue. He's evil, but isn't a villian and we are made to sympathize with someone who has 0 redeeming qualities.

Thank you for clarifying. While looking at the dates I was a bit confused because a lot of things I attributed to Guza or felt like Guza didn't fall in line with the actual timeframe. Aj being Michael's father was probably the best thing about all of 1997 tbh.

I honestly think I could deal with Leo being a side character. I don't think I would like him, but if he only popped up every now and then with a witty joke I think it would be okay.

Thank you! And also...🤮 After Thursday's episode I actually did skip their Friday scenes due to being traumatized. Lol.

I personally didn't think Monica/LC looked that awful. You can tell she's a bit frail but I thought her lines were delivered fine. Also, people need to warn me on this thread if there is Robert/Diane "sexy" time. Even if it's just alluded to. Someone on here thankfully warned me about Violet singing so I was prepared. Not prepared for Robert/Diane.😂

Guza takes over on March 4th, 1996 with Karen Harris. Guza departs and Culliton and Harris take over on Aug. 6th of the same year. Culliton takes over solo briefly then Iacobuzio/Whitesell and Guza is back by December 1997.*** Clink Boom is May 1996, so I don't know if that was entirely Guza's idea or part of Labine's story arc. I always though Guza created Miranda, but she doesn't appear until later in 1996 although she was hinted at for awhile. Culliton does most of the culmination of the triangle including S&B's reunion. I/W do the actual non-wedding. And Sonny is gone by the time Guza comes back in 1997. So in all honesty, Guza didn't write a lot for Sonny/Brenda/Jax-just their most famous moment. Labine did most of the heavy lifting with Sonny/Brenda. ***All these dates are from Wikipedia, so take that for what it's worth. I also don't know how involved Guza was before he took over in 1996. I was always under the impression ideas like pivoting Jax to Brenda were more Guza ideas than Labine's, but the dates don't really support that. I am sure someone on this board has articles or better knowledge of the Labine/Guza transition, but those are just some dates to help you out.

I can see why Leo would not have a place to stay, but he should have enough money for a hotel room. The paper was full on writing fluff pieces about him, so I think they would be thrilled to have him back. He did say to Sloan he had no job, no savings, no boyfriend, blah blah, so maybe he did get fired. It just doesn't make sense. Leo's changing his clothes everyday and appears to be grooming, so where's all his stuff? I think it would have been much better to cut showing him on the park bench and just tell Sloan these things.

EJ said Nicole drove to the Lake to walk which is by Town Square (apparently as of today). So Nicole put the baby in her car presumably without a car seat and drove it home. Rafe said Nicole's car was in the driveway. The wardrobe is never right because they tape so far ahead. Chanel has a table of baked goods out in the square in the middle of December and she was wearing a short sleeve dress serving them.

Yes. It doesn't seem to be a very well thought out plan though. I guess since Sloan left the baby alone for 5 min Nicole decided Sloan just didn't want it anymore.😂

You know I was thinking it was weird they were constantly taking Jude out too. But considering the space of Eric/Sloan's place they only two things he can do is be in his crib or stroller.

Listen, no ill will to you or anything, but it's pretty clear you are pro-Deidre and pro-Marlena. That's fine and I am too, but it's coming off like you are completely unwilling to listen to anyone else's thoughts or opinions. Or honestly even actual facts. Wait...I totally do think she's the most important character in Days History. In all seriousness, but I guess other people might not agree.

Oh, man. Now we are getting deep and philosophical here lol. But also correct. I think you are going to run around in circles here, Khan. Sometimes it's hard to admit I am a hardcore Marlena fan because of things like this.

Possibly the little girl that plays Rachel on Days (I don't know the child actors names). She has decent material-not Charlotte level-but I could see it.

Well then I guess in theory it would be more fair next year. The girl that plays Holly on Days is over 18? She looks so young.

You win.🤣

But then they'd all owe their existence to Alice and Tom because Julie was their granddaughter. Which I am fine with.

I agree. My question is was no one else on any of the other soaps in their late teens last year? Is anyone this year? If not then the age limit should be for children or 25.

Well that kid gets enough airtime. I am so sorry. I take it back. You know how I feel about Violet. I agree with this. Technically it was her last chance, so whatever. Hope she enjoys winning against 10 year olds.

I think it's shady what Eden did, but I shudder to think the actress that plays Violet on GH might win one next year lol.

Got it. Though it's still a weird technicality to be sure.

In the Days thread last week I think @janea4old explained there was some discrepancy about Eden's age. Ha! They beat me to the answer.
