Gray Bunny

Ick. You know he won't stick around long. I don't watch Wheel of Fortune, but I think this is a bad choice. At least hire someone who you know will stay a couple decades. Longtime fans need their consistency.

Gosh, at this point, I'll just be happy if they can go out with a bang when they turn 60. Bring on as many characters/actors as possible (even if the character is dead; just make them appear as an angel, etc.), schmaltz it up like they used to do with going down memory lane with flashbacks, photobooks etc. Until then, it's gonna be crap city. So sad that DAYS will limp and crawl to its death.

Exactly. Easier to write for a character that doesn't have a complicated history that's already been aired on the show. The problem with so many of his creations of the last 6 years is that so few of them have any depth.

The bulk majority of DAYS is written as parody. The music exacerbates all the wacky, silly, goofball hijinks. It's like Carlivati went to the writing school of Marc Cherry but dropped out because there weren't enough doppelgangers, so he never learned how to properly blend shades of humor with drama.

LOL I'm glad I crept into the GH thread to see this lovefest of GL's final days on earth. Gosh, I remember that scene, too. Was für ein verdammter Witz. I'd be drinking right alongside Zimmer too if I had to be a part of that mess.

Kim Matula any day. I suspect if she ever wanted to return [full-time], B&B would dump the current Hope.

More so that all 4 NBC soaps, DAYS included, took a tumble.

DAYS' music catalog is awful and it has been for years. It sounds rinky-dink, cheesy, cliché at times, and kind of patronizing the way they use it -- telling us something is dramatic instead of the story standing on its own merit. The other soaps use background music to enhance the moment; DAYS uses it like a dollar store crutch.

Too bad I don't know their story beyond Season 5 of RHOP so I don't know what other gossip or ups and downs they've been through, but they always had a solid standing together it seemed.

You are right; I seem to recall in one of the Soap Encyclopedias (Gerard J Waggett's in 1997 I think) that Love of Life indeed held a distinction of being 5 minutes less to allow a national news break for the last 5 minutes. At one point when the show had a change in timeslot, it was a full 30 minutes, but then when it reverted back to their late morning timeslot, it was cut back by 5 minutes again.

They should've at least left well enough alone and kept it a posh lil comfy space with a bed, private bathroom, and live feed of the living room action. Ah, the comforts of 1997 secret rooms.

Once the summer's over and the shirt changing in the office has gone stale, he'll be collecting dust alongside Paris and Zende.

Losers in love Brooke and Liam better do the dirty in Rome or it's an automatic fail. Or Brooke and Carter. Whichever.

I wonder if this is the last time GL was ever No. 1 (since we now know the much trumpeted "GL hits No. 1 in the Nielsens!" of August 1984 was an error this whole time (they were merely No. 1 in their timeslot, beating GH).

That's cute, but DAYS doesn't do character growth anymore. Cookie-cutter cardboard is king.

Not to mention, having no friends makes for awkward maids of honor and best men at weddings. They might as well pick the background extra who's always wearing a toupee and thick glasses.

Yeah I figured it was a legal agreement and Nene was just playing victim online. I'm assuming Bravo would still have the right to air any old episodes of RHOA they'd like, Nene or no Nene; they just can't use her image in any way going forward.

That was the first thing I noticed on Sunday’s ATL when they did that epic “previously on” recap taking us back to 2011… they edited Nene out of the open peach shot, not to mention any scenes with her were slightly zoomed in to crop her out. But anyhow, Sunday's episode was really good; the first really good show this season. It'll be interesting to see how this divide amongst the group plays out.

Television Excellence 😂 Maybe they weren't clones at all. Perhaps just plastic surgery or masks. They weren't called "clones" originally back in 1995. That's something ol' Ronny boy coined onscreen recently because he likely saw my clip of the 4 Marlena Clones on YouTube (I'm proud to say I put it up in the YouTube universe first many years ago and it still circulates under other people's profiles) LOL When I first started watching in '95, I was trying to wrap my head around a woman in her mid 30's being mother to Sami (who looked older than 18) and a mother figure to Carrie (who I assumed was in her early 20's) Yet Deidre was turning 48 that year.

This show has been in the dumper for months. The Bo & Hope story gave us hope, but ultimately disappointed everyone. Ron C is so burnt out. I mean, yeah, at this point, let's put Robert Scott Wilson (or any of the studs) in just a jockstrap laying on the Kiriakis couch, blowing kiddie bubbles into the air while reading the newspaper.

Fun fact indeed!

Cherry on the sundae of this week would be late-breaking news that Mitch McConnell is no longer.

Yeah, I know it's been mentioned several times in the last 1.5 years; I just don't recall who discussed it first. It's funny that something so vague and secretive suddenly becomes common knowledge, as if Stefano bragged about it to anyone who would listen. I don't remember John/Marlena ever discussing finding Kristen alive offhandedly. I would've thought the shock and awe of her being alive in the first place would've been touched upon in a grand fashion when she returned in 2012, but it was instead glossed over as if everyone in Salem somehow knew how the whole Killing Pool murder of 1998 really panned out.
