Puberty hit him lol I'm glad that Jake is being used again though. He was gone for so long, it was almost like the character was still dead

This is a good thing. I just remembered that they really didn't go into it when it came out that Shawn was TJ's father. The Shawn/Curtis dynamic is going to be interesting

YESSSS!!! This is a great idea, and a long time coming. The potential that this storyline has is massive. And if its written and played well, it'll be great to see. The show can be really good when they don't do stupid stuff like the mask crap

Same here. I've always liked William Lipton but he needs some work on playing angry lol. Josslyn sounding and acting like Carly today was actually better than I thought it would be. But again, with their scenes, I felt that the writers seemed to hold back and not let Cam and Joss go all out in their fight. I was hoping for Cam to call Joss an enabler, or brainwashed or something lol and for Joss through Franco's past in Cam's face. And, are they really going to go there with Finn and Liz?

Yeah, it's like they tried to make her look younger but they messed up lol I thought it was a pretty good episode overall though. I don't, for a second, think that Tripp is guilty and Mike Manning deserves an Emmy for sure

What's with Nicole's hair and makeup today? They made her look like Ariana Grande

Ugh Wish his return, in general, had been nixed

Don't have much to say about the April Fool's episode. I didn't hate it, but, same as last year, I feel that it's just unnecessary. Days is the only soap that pretty much since that hasn't changed since they came back from the shutdown. Honestly, I think that's very brave of them

We definitely a break from them, especially Susan. It seems like Kristen's been written into a corner, so unless they have her become a complete villain, not some obsessive psycho, or just write her out and send her off to prison, I don't see what else they can do for her.

You're welcome, Joey 😂😂 I'll be eligible in a couple of weeks, so I'm glad to know that there aren't that many side effects

Well... I'm looking forward to this lol

Happy to hear that! Are you having any side effects so far?

Is anyone familiar with his acting?

She sent her to one of Stefano's deserted islands

This is all so interesting! Thank you @JAS0N47 and @j swift for the articles! So had Pat Falken Smith stayed at Days a little longer, Bill and Laura would have been brought back, Stefano would have been obsessed with Julie and not Marlena, and according to a script that Jason47 posted on his amazing Days site, there most likely would have been other Dimera brothers introduced along with Tony. As much as I like all the stuff that DePriest, Anderson, etc. wrote, I would've liked to have seen some more of PFS's work too.

I heard the reason she left was due to problems stemming from the lawsuit she brought against the show when she first left in 1977

Her lines today were great lol it was almost like she was speaking for countless fans 😂

According to Wikipedia, his first soap writing credit was Capitol

Yeah, that's why I hate that "We ran out of story" excuse to justify writing out a character. If you write a big story in order to write a character out, then there's definitely more story left for that character. I could see Linda picking herself up and getting back into Anderson, following Bob's death. Throwing Stephanie/Brooke into it would have been a lot better then killing her off. They could have done a Chris/Mary vs Alex/Stephanie/Linda for control of Anderson.

I'm guessing that was due to Quinn Redeker's popularity with the audience. They couldn't really have done much with the character if he was an all around bad guy. Getting back to writer changes, I wonder if it was possible that Alex was on track to be redeemed and end up as one of the show's romantic leads until an incoming writer made him a scoundrel again. And yeah, it had to have been Al Rabin pulling the strings back then. I'm guessing at least Linda would've stuck around had it not happened, perhaps even gotten involved with Bill while Laura was institutionalized.

Yeah, interference from the suits was another problem too. Judging by those awesome recaps of yours, it's clear that Cathy the intern was supposed to Marie's daughter under Harrower but when the actress was fired, the story was rewritten to have Jessica be the daughter. A Kellam/Julie/Doug/Lee quad would have been interesting but at the same time, Julie would've had to be written pretty stupidly in order to take up with Kellam lol even worse then she was burned and pushed everybody away out of fear of their pity.

Absolutely. That's why I made that thread a while back about what writers were going to do had they not left or been fired. In terms of Days, from what I've read and seen, it sounds like in some cases, storylines would have been better if the head writer that had started them had stayed on

Ugh... poor Cameron is about to get Cinned lol. I liked the Theo/Ciara scenes today. Their friendship was always one of the good parts of the show, but I still wish it was Kyler Pettis though. It's starting to look like Theo's autism mysteriously disappeared. And agreed on Who Shot Charlie, and Paulina/Chanel. I'm actually liking those storylines and I'd much rather see those then Kristen as Susan. I do hope that when it all comes out though that Brady and Chloe reunite.

Well, if PFS had stayed, we could assume that there would have been no masks lol and a lot of internal psychological conflict between Stefano/Julie/Doug. It was similar to what happened back in 1980. Kellam was obsessed with Julie, but then when Gary Tomlin and Michele Poteet Lisanti came in, his obsession switched to Marlena
