I remember the suggestion that they couldn't start with the early 80s because they didn't have all the tapes, but the idea that they were missing tapes from as late as early 1987 is blowing my mind a little. I wonder what the retention and cataloguing system was like because it was certainly common to have flashbacks to earlier events in the early/mid 80s. Most of the time they were pretty recent events (within days), but sometimes they were further in the past than that and they must have had a system to locate the clip they wanted.

 

 

I could be wrong, but when I was rewatching 1986-1987 on YouTube, those final two weeks of the storyline were the only part that wasn’t included.

The guy they're saying is Dario(Gabi brother) last played by Jordi Vilasuso.

I never cared for Dario.

Idk. He looks too young, almost like he could be Jordi’s son lol 

Pretty sure the woman is a recast Gabi.

The guy? No clue

Put em as lovers. Leo finally thinks he's found his man only to find out Bobby-Everett is a serial killer and tries to murder Leo.

My hatred of Leo aside, that would actually be a pretty good idea

They could set it up as a murder mystery, with Sloan and Melinda as the prime suspects.

Didn't they also want to start there because it was when Anne Heche began as Victoria?

Maybe. I did hear that rumor too.

I also heard that mid 1987 was the point where there were no more missing episodes, and that the end of the Sin Stalker storyline was missing. 

The Kristen/Nicole fight was pretty good. It’s about time somebody told Kristen how awful her child is. That, along with Kristen possibly becoming the CEO of Dimera could be pretty interesting. Those are two good dynamics that should be used to drive storyline.

And I’m glad that Jada/Stephanie finally made up. There’s no reason for their friendship to just dissolve into campy bitchfights. The two of them secretly working together to try to figure the truth about Bobby-Everett could be good. It’s still a little convoluted at this point.

And that’s a hell no on a Bobby-Everett/Leo friendship.

Only a few actors look better with their clothes off. Cameron Mathison looks SO much better.

For a while, CM looked very thin...maybe it was for a role, but he looked ill. Now? He's back to jacked, and I want more of it. Ride, Nina, ride!

He’s put so much work in since he beat cancer

I always thought it too bad that soapnet started with reruns from the middle of 1987. It would have been more fun to see them start from early 1983. The show was stronger in 83, and we would have seen the beginnings of a number of major characters who dominated in the late 80s and 90s.

There was a rumor going around that since there was so much turnaround the year before, mid 1987 was the easiest time for fans to jump right in and have a good understanding of the show, characters, etc.

Thank you very much

so neither don Craig nor Marie got any farewell or explanation to their disappearance. ridiculous really. 

But Gwen Davies, a character that had only been on for three years, who left around the same time, got an exit storyline.  

SMH

Well, Drew and Nina…

Something tells me that that wouldn’t have happened (or at least not happened for another year) if Chris and Dan had still been writing. But I don’t mind it. I appreciate how messy their encounter could make their storyline. 

And despite everything about the character of Drew and about Cameron Mathison, y’all can’t deny that Daddy is stacked

Btw, where was Ava going with that Krystle Carrington haircut?

After I posted my response I remembered him. I had forgotten him. He does look hot half naked. Those scenes with him were hot!

The man looks good even fully dressed

Sigh… he was so wasted on Days

Considering how hot Christopher Sean is you'd think that he would wear less. Didn't care what they gave him to wear.

Kinda looked like he borrowed them from Jeff Colby or Steven Carrington

Hmmm… the library sure has changed since I’ve been there

Honestly, I didn’t expect to see any full on nudity but I thought they all looked good.

But yeah, I’m with @Gray Bunny, Christopher Sean was, hands down, the hottest one. And looking the most inviting too

I think Bryan looks fine, but he's an odd choice compared to the others..  He's good looking, but does nothing for me either.  He kind of looks like a chipmunk lol.

He didn’t do much for me either, but I gotta admit, he was adorable in the early 90s

2 hours ago, Soapsuds said:

I mean there are other hunky guys who are/were on Days that could've been chosen instead of Bryan. 

Any suggestions?

Today was kinda boring. And the time jump that they did with Tripp was weird and clunky.

Johnny did look hot though

I’m intrigued by Kristen suddenly hating on Holly and her animosity towards EJ. I don’t mind it and it’s actually nice to see Kristen finally be a mother to Rachel for once. I hope they end up using that to drive story somehow. The tension between them could be used as the catalyst that leads to the secret about Baby Jude coming out. 

I just wish the scab writers would inject more drama into the show. It’s nice seeing everybody so happy, but after a while, they need some real conflict.

why did marie left Salem, did she got a farewell from the Hortons? 

 

 

Nope.

Sadly, Marie just disappeared.

He was way over the top for me. 

10 TOES 10 TOES!!!!!

I am looking forward to when Hope and Finn go at it though

Couldn’t resist

Everything with John and Steve was a little weird. Why would John go to Harris to ask about brainwashing and recovering from it? John should already be an expert in that field

And, Days seems to be making John and Steve breaking Clyde out of prison a lot bigger than it really is or should be. Sort of like what GH did with Nina tipping off the SEC. Kayla being so angry at Ava could be interesting though. 

Maggie and Julie’s scenes were nice, despite all the talking about Konstantin. And it was good that everyone finally remembered that Maggie is Holly’s grandmother. They really should establish a relationship between the two of them. 

Brady/Theresa/Alex was the best part of today. I might not have liked the way that this was all thrown together but I do like the way that it’s being built up and where it could lead to in the future. I just hope the payoff is worth it. 

As for the ending…

Michael Mattes on Dishin Days also said that Leo Howard resembled Guy Wilson.

I wonder who originally said that?

Your opinions are so good that other people share them too

They’re much better at responding to questions than Bold Live though
