The DAYS budget is so damn bad. Just what good is being on Peacock with something that looks like this. The wardrobe is horrific and the sets look worse every month. It all screams life support.

This was a great 2 weeks, and BTG is now by far the most enjoyable soap. I'm still keeping up with the others, but only GH holds my attention. Y&R, BOLD, and DAYS are "I can multi-task" while these shows are on. I'm watching them only out of habit, and much of it is hate-watching. I think they've been sexy and fun, but I personally don't see the romantic chemistry.

I agree with you on that -- it's intentional.

I could use some of that this week. The show has been so stiflingly boring I could use some laughs and diversion.

So we're supposed to believe that Leo -- a guy who flirts with a lamppost -- makes no comment at all any time he sees Doug 3? Sorry, not buying it.

I don't think Sonny knows. If he did, he would have operated much differently before this. Lois is the one hiding the secret, not Sonny, who would have not kept this from Dante.

LOL

It doesn't make any sense. None. Do these writers think we just overlook that kind of thing? It's lazy and condescending.

The actor works on me just fine hehe

I agree. This is not the same P&G.

-- Have to agree that Dani is a mess. I mean, she went to Haley and Bill's house to let them know she wanted nothing to do with them. LMAOOOOOOOO Just stay away and you won't have to hear Haley's lame "I didn't mean to" apologies. Dani is delusional. -- And how sad can Dani be if she's having constant sex with one of the finest guys in town? -- Chelsea's date is one lame actor. That was not good, although that final scene gave a pop to the entire episode. -- Derek showing up with carnations -- CARNATIONS -- made me howl. Cheap ass bouquet from the grocery store. -- I hope they're done with the Ashley praise for delivering that baby. My God. -- The writing for Martin is embarrassing. -- I'm looking side-eyed at the lack of affection/desire between the married gay couple. Yes, things are strained, but we still could have had a hug (or more) from them by now.

Giving Gio all these scenes with Tracy make it clear the show knows -- rightly -- that this actor is more than solid when he's given decent material. Plus don't get me started on Gio's looks. I mean, he's beautiful.

Sorry I missed the tongue-in-cheek comment. Meghan Markle? She was very good in Suits.

I've decided I'm not crazy about Joy. She can leave any time. She doesn't read as someone who's qualified to do anything but act on a terrible soap opera. I think Galen did a nice job with Arnold, but it's gone on too long -- to the point where everyone else looks ridiculous.

Josh Morrow was a guest host on Good Morning Football this morning and did a nice job. It's a M-F 2-hour show on the NFL Network and is out of L.A.

At least Meghan Markle can act.

That was Emmy race stuff? Uh...agree to disagree. I saw nothing special. Besides, I'm not a fan of scenes where characters talk/argue and one of them (Hope) shouldn't listen to a thing the other one says (Daphne). The other scenes were worthless. This is a show with a runtime under 20 minutes, yet they're airing damn flashbacks. When they're not doing that, characters are repeating dialogue from previous days. It's one stalling tactic after another: Luna not telling Bill she knows who her father is and that she met him, and Finn not telling Steffy that Luna isn't in jail.

-- Does this show really think we still care about Oscar at all? -- Maybe it's the lighting, but Eva LaRue looks rough today. -- LMAO that Sonny talks about the "improved security" at Valentin's house while we see that enormous window in the living room. Not exactly a fortress.

Yesterday, moments after Martin overheard Smitty tell Nicole he was thinking of going back to work and getting back into journalism, he then told his mother about his presidential ambitions. He didn't even mention Smitty. I'm seeing a really self-centered Martin. As I said before, it looks like all the shopping was done at IKEA. I mean, that's just bad. What's with those rickety shelves?

Agreed. Today's episode was yawn-inducing trash. I was bored outta my mind. Not one conversation made a difference to any storyline.

With the BTG competition in most markets, GH would be crazy to get rid of Tabyana Ali. GH should be giving their Black actors MORE to do, not less.

-- This was Martin's and Smitty's best day, for sure. I do wish that kiss had been a peck on the lips instead of the cheek, though. I hate to think they're overdoing the "playing it safe" thing. -- Kat was so much fun today. Loved her. -- Loved the "real" references like TMZ, the Shade Room, Insta, Gucci, Loubitins, etc. Soaps always make up some generic name that is so bad, and it takes me right out of the scene. It's Facebook, not FacePlace or some other bullsh_it. -- Overall, a really good episode. I was invested in every single scene.

-- I know soaps play with ages, but this is a HUGE error, in my eyes. And running for president? Are you kidding me? Soaps never do high-level political stuff realistically, so this is ridiculous. If they had mentioned senator or governor, I might have swallowed hard on it. Also, talking about running the day after Dani's viral video makes Martin sound really dumb.

Liam has been back-burnered for months. Carter was good with Quinn, but they ended that quickly. He's been awful ever since, and is now delivering some of the worst acting I have ever seen on daytime. He's also a BOLD writer, but I can't compliment that, either.

I doubt if Jamey did any more of that than Ron did.
