I don't know whether Bill Bell actually said this to Ken Corday, but if he did, then he was right: all you really need to make good drama are a man, a woman and a waterfall, "and for God's sake, who needs the waterfall!?".

Yep, lol! I had Crimson on the brain!

NLG's comments about working with CW/Nina kind of makes me wonder whether Alexis and Nina's working together at Crimson is something that Mulcahey and Korte have implemented.

Especially in this era, when budgets, or lack thereof, restrict the kinds of stories you can still tell, or even the number of characters you can feature at one time. I think whatever the hell is going on right now with Konstanin (sp?) is bad enough on its' own, but what makes it even worse is the fact that DAYS simply doesn't have the budget or production values anymore to make it work even a little bit.

Yes! And I don't understand why Kelsey thinks Frasier and Diane need closure at this point. They had achieved that, I thought, when Diane came to Seattle to premiere that play of hers that was a thinly disguised version of Cheers.

I'd love to know the point when even Felicia Minei Behr could no longer deny Megan McTavish's shortcomings as a HW, because I've often had the sense that the women parted on somewhat sour terms.

Amazon's gonna feel really stupid when they realize which tier is the most popular, lol.

Off-topic, but Harley Venton (a.k.a. Derek Colby) was in serious contention to play David Addison on "Moonlighting." In fact, it was down to him and Bruce Willis for the part. Cybill Shepherd actually preferred Venton, too, IIRC, but Glenn Gordon Caron and everyone at ABC agreed (eventually) that she had better chemistry with Willis.

Was it the one where the audience was literally telling Penny not to shoplift, lol?

Shelly Altman? I'M KIDDING! When you're on "The 'Cock," any publicity helps!

The storyline in the Dial commercial that @Wendy posted upthread plays almost exactly like something you might've seen on Bill Bell's DAYS: the bridesmaid is upset because she's not the bride (who is likely marrying the man that the bridesmaid has been in love with forever), but thanks to a bouquet toss and a piece of cake handed to her across a crowded table (not to mention, a little Dial soap), she just might be embarking on a romance of a lifetime with a tall, handsome stranger who is literally sweeping her off her feet.

I'm serious! I thought that POS magazine went out of business years ago, lol!

Playgirl is still around??

You might've, but it would've been so tongue-in-cheek and tasteless that you'd end up wishing he hadn't bothered.

Not good enough! You could offer me the Hope Diamond and all the gold in Scrooge McDuck's vault and I'd still pass! Life is too damn short.

Whatever it is that's keeping Deidre and Suzanne apart on-screen and off-, I wish the two would find a way to overcome it. There have been so many times when it didn't make sense for Maggie and Marlena not to be in the same scene.

I agree. These days, if I'm not watching Frndly TV, which carries a lot of OTA channels that I would otherwise need an antenna for, I'm watching PlutoTV, FreeVee or Tubi. Many streamers that you have to pay to use just don't appeal to me at all.

Why me specifically? You're not trying to pitch me to take her place at B&B, are you? If you are, then I'm through talking to you again, lol!

She's definitely on her way back to GH!!

So many great photos and memories. Thanks for posting, @vetsoapfan!

Justus Ward?

I agree! In those cases, I feel like whoever owns those properties would be better off just doing VOD releases.

I'm actually okay with killing off characters under certain circumstances. I mean, people do die; it's an unfortunate fact of life. But what I can't tolerate (aside from bringing people back from the dead after we've seen them die on-screen) is how their deaths are usually forgotten in almost record time. I say, if you're gonna kill off a major character, make it count. Allow it to impact the other characters' lives in such ways that they are never truly the same afterward.

I'm gonna go rogue on all y'all and suggest that DAYS phase out all the families, including the Hortons and Marlena's, and introduce a brand-new family that doesn't have the decades of ridiculous baggage that all DAYS families carry.
