Is Colton Little related to Jay Leno? They have that big ugly chin thing going on. And he's not a good actor. Andrew can go now. 

Is Sheila done yet? Such stupid writing. Dumb scenarios.

Why would anyone think that anyone is out at Days? They all come back eventually. The only person out at Days permanently is John Aniston.

Godspeed to Eric. He certainly is the face of daytime. Everyone knows Victor.  Get well.

Is there anyone who doesn't think that Sheila will figure this out? Bill's whole demeanor is off, again.

Gwen is serving it! Eat it, Alex! Work that tongue of yours and eat it. 

I wonder if she had asparagus beforehand? 

Quite a wild scene for Gwennie and Alex. 

Come on Y&R! Or should I say Josh as he seems to have all the power. Bring back Jaime Lyn Bauer and Janice Lynde. Even as recurring characters. They could add so much to the show. 

EB overreacted. I get the context of her reaction to seeing an old clip and her explanation. 

Peacock has to improve their editing. The credits thing was weird. But memo to Days directors. Do NOT ever show Colton Little's back again. The mole thing was gross. Connect the dots. Not attractive. 

Congratulations to Days! I complain about it but I would complain even more if it was taken off the air. Congrats!

Is it? God, the things I let fly over my head. Do you know the name of the tabloid that put up those pictures of Sonny and Leo in bed when Leo chocolate chip cookie drugged him? I'm thinking that sleaze tabloid and Leo's new whatever new gossip column is called should go to war, lol! I'm just kidding. I can't believe this show is being sort centered around his stupid gossip column. In all actuality, no one gives two squirts about it.

I don't. I wouldn't even subscribe to it. 

I see what you did there. The 2 squirts and if you saw today's show and the Leo scene when he had his sleep mask on.

This exemplifies the state of Daytime. 1 nominee. This isn't a "win" for Days. It's a 'no one cares anymore' trophy. 

@janea4oldI remember them introducing Leonie Norton as Julie Siegel Tolland. I remember them doing a voiceover for that. I also remember the Marcy Wade storyline. Francesca James wore a leather jacket and hid the gun under it. And the Meredith hostage storyline which went on all summer until she was killed off.

OMG. That's it. I've HAD it, lol! Who is writing this nonsense? I swear, it's like the breakdown writers are all together in a room before they decide to order food for their lunch break. One breakdown writer goes, "Make sure they give me a side of mayonaisse for my fries!" while the other writer is adament on having three packets of oyster crackers for their soup. And then they're all like, "Hey! Let's write that in the script!"

And this is the show that has won an Emmy for Best Writing? How is this even possible? Hahaha! I do love it though because it's terrible and cheesy. Even today, the sour cream or butter scooper was pure gold. Aces across the board.

Hey, at least Dr. Rolf didn't request asparagus in the clam chowder. Dr. Rolf is whacked and he makes me laugh. He's a strange character.

Wait. Did Dr. Rolf just mention crackers? Crackers for what?

Dr. Rolf badly wanted a bowl of the famous Brady Pub clam chowder. Brady was generous enough to give him 3 bag of crackers with the chowder.

Days is so BAD. The talking urns, the not so dead women in chambers. Terrible terrible terrible. Sony fired the wrong breakdown writers.

I had to pop back in to say what the f-ck is this deprogramming stuff? Stefan has salad tongs on his head? Rolf has a waffle iron and a crock pot? This is so insanely bad. 

This is exactly why Sony needs to fire ALL of Days breakdown writers as well as the headwriter and co-headwriter. I'm not putting this all on Giddens, but he has said that he pitches ideas and they get either  yes or no. My point is that breakdown writers do pitch stories. Fire them all. Start new.

OMG. This show just explained that in order for Rolf to do his mystery work, he needs a waffle iron. And clam chowder. Okay, you know what? Enough with the clam chowder. I wouldn't eat that sh*t even if it were served in a Panera Bread bowl, dawg. 

LOL! Days is SO bad! I thought that being on Peacock was going to be the savior of the show.

Sara Bibel confirms she's fired as well. She is not one of the five reported in the Wrap. She's currently script editor, not breakdown writer. So that means they fired six writers.

Good! Now if only Sony would extend the firings to the Days breakdown writers as well. It's way past time to shake up the writing on these shows. 

KUDOS to Josh Griffith!!! If only DAYS (we're looking at you Giddens) would do the same. Get rid of the useless dead weight. Why are there so many writers who turn out crap? Headwriter to dialogue.  We've all been bitching about the writing for years. Kudos to Josh Griffith for having the balls to shake things up. There were way too many writers in the writers room. Days (if it stays on the air) needs to follow suit and fire about 90% of its staff. You can hate Josh all you want. I admire him. 

If one of them is Sara Bibel, THANK YOU JOSH!!!!!

Another development in serialdom is the axing of producer Jean Arley and associate producer Tom deVilliers from "Love of 'Life." The show has usually been a ratings alsoran in recent years. But Arley and deVilliers were responsible for the serial's visual spruceing up and improved production values.

They turned an aging war horse into a modern, classy-looking soap opera. If they failed in any production department it was only in casting several inexperienced and awkward young performers. But "LOL" has a history of developing untrained actors into splendid performers, as witness the list of "LOL" veterans, among them Jessica Walter, Cicely Tyson, and practically every night- time TV performer currently in front of the cameras.

Jean Arley later turned up at OLTL but what happened to deVilliers?

Jean Arley was a disaster at OLTL, in my opinion. Ratings fell and they couldn't get Paul Rauch in there soon enough.

Tom deVilliers worked on AMC for years afterward as an associate producer. He was at AMC a long time.

None of the cancelled soaps in this century were as BAD as Days is right now. Talking urns? The devil again? The three ladies are not really dead? (Which we all knew). Days is just so ridiculous right now. The move to Peacock has made the show even more dumbed down than on NBC. Maybe Bo & Hope can save this mess. 

Where are the Brooks sisters? Barbara Crampton - blah. Never liked her. This is the 50th for god sake. I hope there are 'surprise' visits that they haven't released yet. This list is so dull. Where's Victoria Rowell? I realize that they've already produced the anniversary shows. What a waste of an opportunity to celebrate 50 years on tv. Thumbs DOWN!
