Would've been a lot better and made a lot more sense than Leo/Dimitri. I still can't believe how much Days made Dimitri out to be an absolute joke. He had so much potential and Days just wasted and ruined him. True but compared to some of those other characters you've mentioned, J.J. is actually a lot more memorable and compelling and he's had some good stories. I actually think Eric is pretty bland and boring compared to Brady; at least Brady has a personality, even if it sucks. And right there I think is one of the major problems with Days - many of the younger legacy characters are either severely underdeveloped or some of them are taken way too far to the point where they basically become irredeemable psychos and many viewers pretty much turn against them. And I honestly don't know if that can be fixed, at least not so easily. If Days is to have a future then they need to decide which legacy characters should be developed and focused on and that means getting rid of some characters permanently by killing them off and making them dead-dead, not just Salem dead, even if that includes other legacy characters.

Even if the wardrobe never improves at least they could TRY to improve the sets. I also agree that they need to stop doing the whole adventure stuff and just focus on family drama and psychology like they did in the 70s; they need to go back to that type of story-telling because that's apparently they can all afford at this rate. Sometimes I ask myself why is this show on Peacock because if this show is going to look this horrid and written this horribly, it should've just stayed on NBC and it wouldn't have made a difference. Honestly I really don't know why Theresa's being brought back, especially if it's for only one or two episodes. If all she is going to do is give her blessing on the adoption or whatever, then what's the point? Like she could've just left prison off-screen and we would've found out via a phone call Brady gets from Andrew and nobody would've given a crap. I mean, this return accomplishes absolutely nothing. Also, Theresa is so far removed from the canvas anyway and she's appeared so infrequently over the last 6-7 years that she's pretty much irrelevant as a character as a point. Which is why I think if she gets killed off permanently that she might actually generate a lot more stories dead than she has ever had while alive. At this point, I'm fine with her trading places with Abigail where Abigail is resurrected from the dead and Theresa is six feet underground so that Days can focus all their attention on Andrew, the Shane/Kim child that people actually like and want on the show long term.

I got to admit that's very impressive.

Looks like Theresa's back. Hopefully she's not around just to pine over Brady, (seriously, is that all the writers can afford for her to do?), and she actually does something useful for once, like maybe figuring out if Tate's actually the baby daddy or not. Assuming she's actually going to be around longer than a few episodes. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part but hopefully the new writers have managed to salvage or at least retool whatever story Ron may have originally planned for Theresa so perhaps it's not entirely god-awful.

I thought Lacey Chabert played Bianca as a child? Jesus take the wheel... first Michelle Trachtenberg and now Gene Hackman?! What a week man!

I literally screamed in horror when I saw this news pop up. Still trying to process it; it feels so surreal. It doesn't even feel real to me. I remember watching her movies and T.V. shows from the time that I was a little kid. I remember her from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and also from "Ice Princess". She was pretty much everywhere and prominent in so many things. She was way too young to die. I wonder if she was having some health issues that she may or may not be aware of. People her age just don't drop dead like that unless there's something going on with their body.

The whole Musk aides locking government officials out of their computer systems at the U.S. Treasury really makes me nervous. It makes me wonder what the hell they're planning. For all I know, they could be planning to target anybody who's against Trump.

Not like that's going to matter to Trump. He has control of the House and the Senate and not to mention he has SCOTUS at his beck and call. Who's going to stop him from doing whatever he wants to accomplish? As far as I'm concerned, this is pretty much the beginning of the end of our democracy. All we can do now is keep a low profile and hide as much as possible and hope to God the government doesn't decide to target you next. And if you can afford to move out of the United States, LEAVE NOW. It's only going to get a lot worse from here.

By the time we have another Bill Clinton, it's going to be pretty much too late because by that point our country is going to be in shambles and there is no fixing it. I've also resigned myself to the fact that I'm good as dead and I probably won't be alive in 4 years, depending on how things play out. At this point death is preferable to living out the rest of my life in an authoritarian dictatorship.

Or maybe Sasha somehow ends up becoming a victim of Sidwell's and with her gone Michael won't have to worry about a baby anymore. Better yet Robert and Holly won't have anything to connect them together either. I would be totally fine with Nina getting shipped off to prison for the rest of her life for a murder that Willow committed and no one else would be the wiser. The real truth can just fade into obscurity just like Austin's murder and by the time that it actually comes out, Nina would have already died in prison. Drew and Willow can also move away to Washington, D.C. with her and Michael's kids so that Drew can serve his term as Congressman, never to be seen or heard from again.

I don't know... maybe if Drew had actually ended up developing some real feelings for Nina and shown some genuine remorse for the way that he acted towards her, maybe they could've worked. But there was nothing there that would ever indicate to me that those two were ever going to be truly endgame. Besides, I always had a feeling that Drew was going to eventually choose Willow over Nina anyway, so that point is moot. I actually agree that Nina should've been written off after Michelle Stafford left back in 2019 and they should've wrapped up the daughter reveal right then and there by having Willow find out that Nina was her birth mother and deciding to want absolutely nothing to do with her, prompting a heartbroken and devastated Nina to leave town for good. I actually won't be surprised if Nina gets written out in a year or two, especially since she really doesn't seem to have that much purpose to begin with and she's just eating up precious screen-time. Cynthia Watros would've been better off cast as someone else, but I don't know who else she could've possibly played on GH.

I think he's resigning mainly to save face because he knows that the Liberal Party is pretty much screwed and there's a very good chance that the Conservative Party is going to take over. If that's the case, then maybe Trump won't have to invade Canada because the new government might as well just hand it over to him to annex. Hell, maybe they'll become allies and form a super state to invade Mexico, Greenland and Panama. /s I mean, we're pretty much screwed no matter what we do. There is no point in resisting because the military will destroy us if we even try to protest. Bring on World War Three. Hell, there's a good chance nothing will remain in four years, not even us.

I also have an account on BlueSky and my username on there is PhoenixGirlReviews. It's definitely a lot better than Twitter. I'm never using that stupid site again, especially with that guy being a part of the new incoming administration.

You know, it's funny. I honestly thought that when the news came out that Trump won that I was going to immediately fall into hopelessness and despair, just like I did when he won the last time. I mean, first I was in shock and numb and then eventually I became emotional and started crying in fear but now I'm determined to fight. Like I said the other day I refuse to give up. I can't give up. I have to do whatever I can to survive and to help my friends and family to survive what's coming. I was texting my niece who is away attending college in California and she's panicked and terrified because she's afraid that her future as a young lesbian woman is in serious jeopardy. And that makes me sad. For now I'm going to try to enjoy the upcoming holidays and my birthday and focus on what I can control. If worse comes to worse and I end up losing my livelihood and my house, I'm going to ask my brother if I can move in with him in California. My parents can either move in with my sister and her family or they can relocate to Georgia and move in with my brother and his family. As far as the Democratic Party is concerned I do think that they need to start focusing on the economy as a major issue and start trying to convince voters that they can pass legislation that will allow them live on affordable wages and support themselves. Once the economy is in good standing, then they can start turning their attention on social issues again. Now I'm not saying that the social issues aren't important but a large majority of voters seem to be extremely concerned with inflation and the economy as a whole and I feel like that can't be ignored. It sucks but it's the truth.

I'm sorry; I can't imagine how you must be feeling. I'm scared too but at the same time I'm not going to just lay down and die. Damn it I'm going to fight no matter what. I refuse to quit. I don't have any other choice but to fight for the country that I love and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that I can protect my loved ones from the hell that's going to await them.

If I could, I would pack up my things and just get the hell out of here. But I can't because I'm an autistic woman living on disability and I can't leave my family behind either, especially my parents and my widowed aunt. Even before this election I had been toying with the possibility of maybe fleeing either to Canada or even the U.K. Maybe I should still consider that option. I just don't know how I'm going to endure another four years of Trump, especially now that he has the Supreme Court AND Congress at his beck and call. I guess I'll just live as a recluse for the next four years and eat my feelings by devouring God knows how much junk food. Good thing I have an event to go to tomorrow and I know I'll be stuffing myself with pizza and Coca Cola and whatever desserts people might've brought. Also I have two associate's degrees and a bachelor's degree but I don't know how good they are going to be now.

I'm really sorry guys. I was hoping against hope that Kamala was going to pull off a win somehow and prove me wrong, but for some reason I just couldn't shake off this nagging feeling that this was going to turn out like 2016.

How the hell are we going to look forward to the midterms when now the Republicans have the chance to implement Project 2025 and we're not only going to have a national abortion ban but gay marriage is also more than likely going to be overturned now and birth control might even get banned now? There is nothing the Democrats can do now; we're basically super screwed at this point. As a matter of fact they are pretty much done as a party. They pushed Joe Biden out of the race and for what? Just to be humiliated by the GOP? What if the new regime passes a series of laws where television shows can't even have POC or gay characters or storylines in movies and T.V. shows anymore? I also won't be surprised if in a few years women won't be allowed to vote or even work outside the home either.

I'll be surprised if we even have a democracy in 4 years. I guess we're about to find out how bad things could potentially get.

So that's it? Trump's actually won? Man... I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if I end up losing my Social Security and Medicare. I have issues with anxiety and depression and I can't work and I'm also disabled. If things get really bad there's a good possibility that I probably won't be living for too much longer. I know my parents won't and they're already getting on in years.

My mom wanted to go to Paris next year for vacation. Well looks like the cruise that she's going on with my father and I in a few weeks is more than likely going to be the very last vacation we're ever going to have as a family. Once the three of us lose our Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, we won't be able to afford our house anymore and we're probably going to end up on the streets. I'm terrified at the prospect of my aunts and uncles possibly getting deported even though they've been in this country legally for years.

At this point I won't be surprised if by tomorrow night we're going to find out that Trump won the election. I expect the Republicans to take control of both the House and the Senate too. We're going to need to figure out how we're going to survive another Trump presidency.

It's official; she's going to lose.

I still can't believe both Amendments 3 and 4 failed, even though I figured that it was probably a long shot. Are people really that okay with sacrificing hundreds of thousands of women's lives just to save the unborn? I think having the anti-abortion ban being allowed to stand is going to convince more women to forgo relationships entirely and just not have kids period, which is ironic since it was implied in the anti-abortion ballot that if the amendment were to pass that it would spurn women to just not have kids and there would be a birth rate crisis. Ron DeSantis intimidating voters certainly didn't help either.

I don't really think it was the "writer". According to Soap Opera Digest, Gwen is supposed to show up in July, and it's estimated that Ron's material is supposed to continue airing at least into the spring, (around March/April), so for whatever reason, the new writers decided that they wanted to bring Gwen back for a new story, probably something Abigail related. I find it interesting of all of the characters to bring back permanently that Gwen is the one character that the new regime decides to use. In other words, it's business as usual, which really, really sucks. I was hoping that maybe things might start to finally turn a corner and improve but I'm not really getting a good vibe from this new regime at all.
