Now I know what's missing from Cody and Sasha's story: a rich dude to be Cody's rival!  Unfortunately, there aren't any Q's in Sasha's age range except Michael, and he'll probably be busy with whatever goes down with Drew, Nina and Willow.  Unless...they're going for a Nina/Drew/Willow/Michael/Sasha/Cody hextangle.

Hextangle. Not bad. I'll have to remember that one.

I would love to FINALLY see a real fight between Steffy and Hope after 20 years! Seriously, how has it not happened? I guess it'll happen when I get my earthquake!

Be careful what you wish for...

It's not a bad idea, although it's nothing new. Over in the UK they had a soap parody that ran for years to tell washing detergent, featuring many former UK soap actors...

 

So in a way, the term "soap opera" eventually went full circle. Just in case this is unfamiliar to someone reading this, the "soap" part of the term was originally coined because early U.S. soaps, especially those on the radio, were often sponsored by the makers of cleaning products for the home (https://www.soapcentral.com/soapcentral/news/2005/0509-historyofsoaps_01.php and more other sources than I care to count). And now I find out (many thanks, DRW50!) that there was a soap opera parody to advertise laundry detergent in the UK. (For UK viewers' sake, hopefully it wasn't aired during actual soaps.)

Running late but will try to re-access either tonight or tomorrow morning. Hope you and the other forum members in the U.S. (and any other place that might celebrate it today) all enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Unfortunately, I haven't had too much success with those credits--the show cuts out after the first three screens. Why doesn't technology do what you want it to?

Thank you, Bee, I will gladly accept a break from EOB1. I was very frustrated with the credits yesterday. My schedule was crazy busy so I didn't get to watch DAYS until late in the day & by then they skipped showing most of the credits & I didn't even get to make note of the script writer for the day, just the director. I don't like it that Peacock does that, but Peacock doesn't care. 

I've just started watching The Doctors again for the first time since I was a teen & there's something about how slowly the credits wind down that is just thrilling to me. Then the announcer says, "Stay tuned for Another World in living color!" And, there's my favorite show! 

You're welcome, Donna, and I'll gladly accept a break from EOB1 also. But that's really a shame most of the credits were skipped by the time you saw the episode. Tomorrow morning I'll see if I can re-access them and let you know. And that sounds cool what The Doctors did with their credits. Are you familiar with the UK/Australian show Bergerac (a crime show starring John Nettles, from the 1980s; now available to U.S. viewers on Britbox)? Although, as I noted earlier, I pay attention only to certain credits and then for certain reasons, I pay attention to the Bergerac acting credits for the credits themselves--each major actor/role is listed separately over a photo of the person in the episode and actors with lesser but still decent parts are listed two to a screen. When an actor isn't so well known, it's great as you have a face to match to the name when you've just seen the episode. As for The Doctors, there were periods that I watched it, but my major "watches" when there were more soaps were All My Children and Dark Shadows (but missing most episodes of all of them once I had a 9-to-5 job). I especially miss seeing fresh episodes of AMC. Oh well...

Donna, I haven't always watched credits, but with all the cast changes on Days, I've been watching theirs for the last few months. (And I'm glad they're full size, normal speed. I like knowing that if I do want to see the credits, they're optimally presented.) So (as I implied in my other post), Gwen's return wasn't a surprise. But I didn't expect both EOB characters to appear in the same episode--for me, it didn't do any favors for EOB as Theresa.  

...Just nothing about Constantin & Theresa snatching Victoria did it for me. Totally dissatisfied, that after being so high on Ari & Dan's performances Wednesday! I really dislike the show being so good some of the time & so awful the rest!

Credits update: Yesterday's had no EOB as Gwen (but did have her as Theresa). So maybe no more Gwen, at least for the time being?

j swift, Donna L. Bridges, and AbcNbc247, many thanks for the welcome. Hope you're all having a nice weekend!

FYI, the last few cast credits have had both Gwen and Theresa listed for EOB (however, on separate screens).

(I usually just lurk here, but I thought this might be helpful. Anyway, nice to "meet" everyone.)
