I'd love to go back to the non-spoiler days and those times when we actually be shocked at what's on our screens.

I don't think Maura West would agree to do Zooms and answer GH questions carefully if she were being written out.

Exactly how I feel. I thought the writing for him would improve when Ron returned, but it hasn't. I just don't get it. Leo Howard reads "mature" in a way that JMM did not. It was easy to believe JMM's Tate and Holly would do stupid things. That stuff does not work with Leo's Tate, and the side effect is that it also makes me dislike Holly.

I agree with you in principle. Any "argument" I had with Doug Davidson was precipitated by his lies about Joe Biden, Democrats, liberals, etc. He also (thinks he) excels in condescension and passive/aggressive behavior. Could I let that go? Sure. But I don't want to LOL. I called out DD yesterday because he FOLLOWS this Kerry Racist Bitch -- the one Braeden went after. He offered excuses like "I didn't know that." Well, Dougy, I just told you. Then he said he doesn't spend all day on social media, but maybe I do -- more condescension and passive/aggressiveness. Then he goes on to whine about "so much ugliness" on social media these days. So yeah, I'm fine with taking two minutes out of my day to give the guy some heartburn.

I love Eric Braeden, even though he blocked me on Twitter. Why? Because I argued with "Dougy" Davidson the MAGAt. EB is loyal to his friends, I guess -- even scum like DD.

I don't either. The normal soap trope would be for us to root for Holly and Tate while hating Sophia. Instead I want Sophia to ruin them. LOL. I caught that, too. That's definitely a tell. I just hope he's not paired with Leo, who Ron C seems to be OBSESSED with.

I LMAO just thinking about it. Poppy announces their arrival by saying "Bill owns a billion-dollar corporation." Well, honey, why are you then getting dressed up for a f.ucking reservation at a PIZZA DIVE???

That Kerry woman is attention-seeker, but she's also a blatant racist, and I'm glad Eric Braeden called her out. Yes, she'll get more attention for 15 minutes, but none of it will be good. She's upset/hurt that so many at GH blocked her, so I'm fine with all of daytime going after her. Eric Braeden never had much of a filter, and now he has none. Good for him.

It didn't. It's all super cringe, including Tom the Homeless Munchkin getting hired to wait tables at Deacon's "make a reservation" pizza dive.

LMAOOOOOO All so true. None of it makes sense. And then after that "late night shirtless jog," Alex goes home and puts on a suit. OK then. But good job to DAYS' props department for getting some of those prom balloons to the Salem Inn!

I'm guessing most everyone just decided to roll their eyes at this and scroll on. I can't. With all that's going on at GH, I can't imagine the need to trash Trina like this.

That's true. Of course, we knew Passions played with time when the show premiered and the first month of episodes covered one day.

Around here, you can't buy tickets at prom, and there's a cut-off date a week or two before. Maybe other schools permit day-of. Chaperones were teachers, not parents who can put a damper on all of it. Also, I'm most familiar with proms that start at the gym for a few hours, then go somewhere else for "Post Prom." I just had to LOL at all of DAYS' prom choices -- such as all those helium balloons by the lockers. Decorate thee gym? Yeah. But the locker area leading to the gym? No. I guess DAYS had an extra $20. to spend. Yes, and there's all that liquor that's been poured into decanters to leave out on a table. I mean, who does that?

Good points, Maxim. The energy created by yesterday's episode just disappeared today. I wanted a much stronger, longer reaction from Steffy that included sustained ranting and pouting. Instead, everyone was sort of copacetic. Wildly disappointing. And the Poppy and Katie scenes I've complained about had no teeth, either. Sheila and Deacon? YAWN. All I kept wondering is if Sean Kanan started on Ozempic when he didn't even need it.

Especially silly since Katie has Big Chocolate Stud Carter waiting for her and should have no interest in Bloated Serial Cheater Dollar Bill.

This prom stuff -- the timing of it all -- is ridiculous and hilarious. This is reminiscent of Y&R proms of decades ago when they were held in the dead of summer rather than in April or May. DAYS has taken it one step further. Seems you can decide to attend THE DAY OF PROM. No worries about getting tickets, getting a dress/tux, or finding a date at the last minute. Of course, since no one is attending school, I guess there's time for all of those.

I guess Steve Kent was "in charge" of the Lily and Daniel storyline that ended with a complete THUD.

Are we supposed to support Katie when she side-eyes Poppy and acts like she has ownership of Bill? Because none of this is any of her business, and I want Poppy to tell her to tell her to get the hell out.

-- With that body and bubble butt, I can take Carson Boatman's acting, but I agree that they're boring. They've been given "story," but the end result is it feels like they've had no story. I really think the writers have failed them, dialing back the wildness/edge/immaturity in both characters. -- I think Brandon Barash has been failed by the writers, too. He exists as a talk-to, showing up with a letter, or overhearing some secret. -- I'm also done with Jackee. I love her for a year, but I'm over it. All of it. -- Marlena's Drive-Thru Therapy is impressive. If you can find a psychiatrist, it takes a couple months to get an appointment -- but not with Marlena! Same day is fine!

I agree -- clumsy and clunky. Part of that is because I don't think Matt Ashford is much of an actor. He IS Jack, but he's just not very good. I also did a double-take when he made a postive comment about Juneteenth. Didn't we hear him go all racist in his run for mayor???

I really enjoyed John J. York's return today as Mac. Nicely written, nicely done. I think the Mac relationship to Cody really helps us care about the Cody character. Compare this to BOLD and Bill discovering he has a daughter. I care so much more about Mac discovering he has a son.

"Just like stop"? Are you serious with this, carolineg? Look, I think a lot of you and enjoy your posts, but I can literally judge AZ because I feel like it. I never said she's a bad human, but if the shoe fits.... She supports a guy who wants to take us back to the 1950s in all things gender and minorities and sexuality. She supports a guy who is a convicted criminal because...bank account. How is it my business? The same way any opinion about anything is my business, or your business, or someone else's business. I never said she should be burned at the stake for being republican. Again, my problem is not that she's a republican or conservative. I have said that repeatedly. I am fine with leaving politics to some other thread/group, but AZ is still on DAYS and would like to return, so I can't pretend this stuff has no place here. Why do I care? Because I care. The same way you care about the things you care about. If you like her or don't want to discuss her politics, fine. I get that. I respect that. But please respect my right to voice my disapproval of her. I was such a big fan of her acting, and I considered her a DAYS legend. This is a huge fall from grace -- in my opinion. And now to keep this on track...talking about the soap...I'll just say that I dreaded the end of her run. Now I look forward to it, and I don't want her back.

There is no difference between MAGA and "fully MAGA." None. This isn't about Ari Zucker being a republican, but about her support for Trump, who is a lying, racist convicted felon and the worst of humanity. I appreciate your take that it's not your business. However, it is mine when she speaks publicly and makes clear where she stands. Yes, she has free speech. We all know consequences exist when we speak. She lost a lot of fans by running her mouth.

Honestly, I don't know why they're bringing them back. There's really no story for Danny and Christine, and I think their Romeo and Juliet days are long over. If it's just for more sabotage from Phyllis, that's just more Phyllis character destruction.
