Ignore them; they like to believe MVJ is a bootlicker. That's all we need to know of them. Well...

Update: Patrick Muldoon Is Not Returning to DAYS!

Jane Elliot is forever young.

It's a very British way of storytelling, and I happen to love it. I agree; it's a nice change of pace from the monotomous same stories constantly being told.

Seeing season one during the Shout! FAST on Prime Video and then continuing my first watch-through and landing on Jeff Trachta's Thorne (debut episodes), it's painful seeing the transition. Clayton Norcross is the definitive and superior Thorne.

I am 💯 with you on this; Alexa Havins Bruening is more viable, especially in comparison to Amanda Setton.

She really said STFU and just watch. 🤣

On paper, Emme Rylan could have worked, but it was the material. Her Lulu was written as a weak "new mom", which plagued her and Maxie around this time. Had she been given the type of material Julie Marie Berman got, then she could have done much better, especially after her time as Lizzie on GL and Abby on Y&R.

So heartbreaking.

The train set is better than the Jazz Lounge at the GCAC.

Colt Cassidy (Aiden, GH) is in the episode of Hot Bench airing today on CBS.

date: Monday, June 16 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Michael V. Pomarico Deadbeat is losing his mind, and I'm here for it. Ashley, do not put that ring on your finger. You deserve better, and he's out there boinking a Dupree woman. Go get your man! So, this "traumatic event" Deadbeat endured was in more recent years? So it's recent and during his marriage, I would assume? And the man from that night? Hmm... what happened? Gambling troubles? Bradley is officially an employed journalist, and that makes me very excited for him. Derek, your ass belongs with your ugly, named chair and your Moose head. That's it. If you cannot live together, how are you going to get married? Be realistic, Derek. Think with your head (the one on your shoulders). I appreciate the power and command that Vanessa is making with Joey. She's smarter than she actually appears, and it's refreshing, especially from a blonde woman who may often give off the "dumb blonde" persona. I am adoring the backstory of Madison's coming out, the history behind who was/was not for her coming out, etc. It's a nice little insight into a new character, and it wasn't done in the first two episodes. Derek, take the very apparent hint (NO) and stop pushing; pushing Ashley is only going to push her away even more than she already is. And Ashley threw the truth back into Derek's face. Madison, a theatre kid?! Not what I would've expected. But it shows you do have a type, so to speak. But I am loving this flirtation/information "get" between her and Chelsea, and that kiss was smooth as butter. I'm vibing with these two so much and hope it isn't some kind of "blip". Yacht Club?! Oh, could this be a future set once we get into season two?! That would be exciting. Uh-oh, Bradley, be careful... you're treading into dangerous territory, and I would not want you getting hurt. The bomb drop: Vanessa is willing to go into business, but only if it is beneficial to her (and Douglas). Boom; she wants 18% of the deal. She's going to get what she wants. I love a headstrong businesswoman. Oh, that's smooth, Andre, showing up with the restaurant-branded napkin. I'd be swooning immediately. The sexual chemistry between Joey and Vanessa is palpable; she's ready to not be able to walk again, and I am absolutely here for it. Bradley is connecting the dots where Joey and Marcel are concerned, and it is riveting. He knows how to do his job, and he does it quite well. Madison does not give a frick about the Chinese food; she just wants some "Chelsea" for dessert. Yes, ma'am! Go for it! That "sex scene" was pure magic. Whew. And the opposite with Joey/Vanessa – that was pure fiery, tense passion. Wow. Oh snap, does Marcel know what happened with Deadbeat? Notes: I appreciate that we had a proposal refusal with what felt like a truthful answer: someone is not ready for marriage, and it did not take making it to the altar before confessing this. I love the continued frank conversations dealing with consent and one's sexuality. It's so refreshing to see them both discussed in comfort and without a fuss. I appreciate the branded pieces of sets: napkins, etc. It's that unique touch that will really make these sets feel real to audiences. I love that we continue to receive scenes sans overwhelming musical cues; it feels more primetime, and I like that dialogue/scenes can breathe.

Well, they think they know best. 🤣

If Rylan were 52, then she looks damn good for her age. But no, she's 44, while Ordway is 42, so. And considering Amelie Heinle and Joshua Morrow are 52 and 51, respectively, at least they made both Abby actors younger than those who play her older siblings.
