I might actually tune in to see Ashley and the Abbotts celebrate Thanksgiving. Everything else sounds like 💩.

Right. As if it’d be anything other than “small and intimate”. I wonder when was the last time a wedding was actually held at a church or wedding venue? Was it Nick & Sharon’s wedding in 2018?

The exact visual I have in my head of you when I see your posts 🥰

You mean to tell me Danny and Christine are getting married at the GCAC? 😂 I can’t with this damn show anymore. Everything happens at the GCAC. No one has a home anymore. Even weddings happen there. I’m done. 😬

I actually like this new format. It seems more mobile friendly too.

😂

I would love to watch classic AMC episodes if they ever become available to the general public. Or if you have a source feel free to PM me with the link 😜 I loved the classic GL episodes but once I found classic Days episodes I ended up getting sidetracked with that. Still, I’d love to watch all the soaps from the 90s and even earlier.

I was not familiar with this actress until I watched her interview on the Soapy podcast and was instantly fascinated by this story so I am looking forward to watching this.

I’ve stopped watching again the past couple weeks and I’m wondering if it’s worth catching up on or not. This Matt Clark return from the dead story & Noah boinking his mama has been a total disappointment. Thank god I discovered classic Days episodes. It’s been great to watch a show with ACTUAL storylines!

Cane and Phyllis.. Ewwie! 🤮

This is why I love posting my thoughts in this thread because I know there are posters here with deep knowledge of the show going back years. As someone who is watching these classic episodes with fresh eyes, I love reading about all of the backstory. I wanted to start watching from 1993ish but the poster needs to format those episodes to be watchable and not just for download. So I will wait patiently and continue enjoying the 2000s until then. My Days knowledge is so limited though. I only watched during brief summer breaks around 2003-2007ish so I’m obviously familiar with all the main characters (John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Sami, Austin, Victor, Kate, Shawn, Belle, and so on and so fourth). It’s been fun to delve more into all these characters.

March/April 2001 Loved the scene where Victor reveals he is alive to Kate in the ashes of the burnt down Kiriakis mansion. I can’t wait to see how Kate claws her way out of this now that she will lose everything. Also, Nicole dying Victors hair that awful brown box dye was hilarious. I had no idea Maggie and Marlena were best friends. I guess Maggie became stuck in this supporting role years ago to help prop up storylines for other characters. I’ve only seen her 3 times in 2001 and it was all involving John/Marlena. The back and forth with Jack and Jen is getting old now. Now they’re going to be living together. Alright, I guess it might make for some funny scenes with them being constantly annoying eachother but either get back together or stfu about it. The Brady and Chloe tension is building. I still say Brady is gay because he criticizes Chloe like a gay man would and it’s hilarious. I’m curious to see when it takes a turn though. Philip is gorgeous but he and Chloe, not a good fit. Austin has to be the most indecisive person on this show. He wants Sami but he’s not sure.. he’s also not sure if he’s into Greta. I think he just likes the attention. Sami and Brandon are hotter anyways but Sami’s obsession with Austin does make her interesting. Lucas is in the hospital fighting for his life from the fire Kate started. I’m curious to see how that develops because if I didn’t know any better I’d say the show is 100% killing him off. He’s been very underused in the year 2001 so far. Bope are starting to get more airtime too now with Glen and Barb prying into the baby mama drama and they already just figured out Lexie and Abe adopted Glen’s baby but I’m assuming a DNA test will be done and it will come back negative because obviously it’s Bo and Hope’s baby Lexie has, not his. Stefano and Lexie’s scenes are so fun to watch and I love Lexie being tempted to the dark side.

March 2001 (Continued) Whew they’re really milking this whole fake rape storyline with Philip and Chloe. I didn’t know Days had the long a*ss nights that last weeks like Passions did. I guess this was the norm for some soaps in the early 2000’s? Philip and Chloe had sex, fought about Victor being alive, ended up in the hospital because Chloe accused him of raping her, then Brady breaks Chloe out of the hospital, now Chloe is back at the hospital to do the rape kit but doesn’t want to do it. Will this night ever end? Sami and Greta thirsting after Austin is really kind of pathetic. I know he’s super hot but how much of a thirst bucket are you willing to act like just for him to toss you a few crumbs? I am sad for Lucas losing his son. I would prefer the joint custody arrangement for him and Sami but we all know Sami doesn’t want that. Lucas does need to get off the booze though if his son is important enough to him. So you mean to tell me it’s just some big coincidence that Lexie and Abe end up at the exact same place as these Glen and Barb characters? And they just happen to be sitting across from each other at the bar. Yeah, okay. Victor and Nicole are an example of one of those rare instances where I enjoy an age gap relationship. Mainly, because the age gap is acknowledged and made as being a part of the story. Nicole may be a money grubber they still in some odd way have this sweet connection which I’m enjoying. This plan they’re concocting to terrorize Kate with Victors “ghost” is hilarious.

I like couples to be in similar age in soaps, I don’t care if it’s an older man or older woman. Both are equally grotesque to me. An affair with an older partner is one thing, I’m okay with that when it’s a rare occurrence but it’s been happening far too much on this soap lately and it’s becoming boring quite frankly.

Precisely.. it’s beyond awkward. I’m sure the actors feel the same. They are actors though so I’m sure they handled it like the professionals they are. It’s still odd. It also doesn’t seem necessary at all for this story to happen. Maybe JG has a kink? I’m seeing a trend here.
