Kasie Hunt has been rationed into oblivion in record time. She's had such a far fall so quickly.

They never had a chance in CA.

Big talk from the woman who just platformed Alyssa Farah.

I'm sorry, I have liked Ari Zuker in better years but there is no way Nicole can lead a gigantic Possession revisit in the year of our Lord 2021. But yes, they should go back to Aremid. I dug Aremid.

It's a nice idea but VK's expression is one for the books. Where is she looking??

As I said in the other thread, I'd never seen these either. Very cool of them to find the little girl and for Sherry to be a part of it since she was hot in primetime.

I'd never seen those. How cute (and classy of Sherry, who was in hot in primetime on NYPD Blue/ER by this time, to do it).

Having watched a fair bit of that time I think people give Elizabeth Dennehy's Blake too much criticism around here just because most of us adore Stringfield's. Dennehy wasn't as conventionally beautiful as Sherry, but she had a very arch, dark strength and also physically resembled Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Blake was a very distinct character with both Dennehy and Stringfield in the role but became nothing almost as soon as they recast with Liz Keifer, IMO.

That's exactly what I was talking about, yes.

I think both SSH and Robin came back to their respective shows feeling pressured to compete with either the tone of the show (Hayes) or in Robin's case, the network expectations. I've said for a long time that I think being cut by JFP traumatized Robin and that she came back determined never to be made to leave the show she loved again, and that she'd prove her worth by going hard and going big every single day so the brass would notice her effort. She did good work after returning in 2003, but she too often had about two speeds and rarely calmed down or went quiet. I'll always love Robin, but it hurt her performance.

It should be someone else or multiple people. It should not be Marlena again, but probably will be.

I'll never get over your post tbqh

This one's a surprise. @DRW50

Y'all called it! "Just becaush my shex life ish over... doesn't mean yoursh hash to be." I can't breathe!

There was never any character to Jordan to speak of beyond 'Black female we hired for C-plotline who appears in cop scenes.' I can't blame either for leaving.

As I said in the other thread:

A bad recast of a character that never had much there period, despite Vinessa Antoine's heroic efforts.

This happens every time a Dem wins by a considerable margin - Obama both times, Biden (in the final analysis) last year. The media always says a Republican has a mandate when they win, but when Dems do it it's 'can they heal the country? this isn't a mandate!' And they're proven wrong each time.

Nicki has had dumb opinions and behaved like an idiot for years, frankly.

Love it or hate it, the Possession story is now an indelible part of the DAYS legend and identity. Camp and fantasy/sci-fi are intrinsic to its brand, same as the families and yesteryear supercouples/triangles, and you can weave the two cornerstone eras of DAYS together carefully and successfully - it just so rarely does. They're wise to revisit it in theory, but in practice I don't think they have the budget or skill to execute properly. It can't be a one-off, and it shouldn't be another round of ol' Dee being possessed again. Marlena should be the heroine here, the wannabe exorcist. I first came up with the idea of it being Will early in the 2010s when Chandler first started getting a fleshed-out role and Will was acting out, but it could be any number of characters - or multiple characters. And there's all sorts of ways you could play up the horror in a genuinely creepy way. Some of it requires money, other parts just require taste and restraint, which Ron rarely has. Look at films like Hereditary and you have a roadmap for a lot of what you can do scares-wise. But Hereditary has a story/themes not that dissimilar from the issues that beset Marlena during the original story - a woman/mother/wife fraught by trauma and heartache who gives way to dark forces. I don't have any faith in them to do this well, but it was inevitable it was going to be done someday. It just should be done right. Hell, you could even use this story to finally exonerate ol' Ben (either say the Devil made him do it or preferably that he was framed), but Ron will never do that because he has never accepted that any of the rapists or serial killers he writes as 'edgy' heroes need that - he considered it a personal insult to his ego to be pressed to try.

Who exactly is "Me Too" in this equation and why is Rose McGowan Democrats' problem? Next. Meanwhile: As always, use archive.is for paywalls.

Can't believe I am the first to get to this. I have never seen Nicki admit to taking an L in several years of embarrassing clownery and I don't expect her to walk anything back now. What an idiot.
