I wish I could be thrilled about this news, but until Frank Valentini is gone as well.... Okay, why, lol?

Believe it or not, I'm a fan of James Read's, so it's hard for me to agree with everyone that Clyde needs to be killed off.

Finding the right words to say about someone who has touched you deeply is always easy to do. Sadly, I never met Bill Hayes, but Doug and Julie's original love story is just so good to me, because it embodies so much of what DAYS and all other soaps used to be, and still could be if TPTB would try. If only I could write a love story as good as Doug and Julie's.

My favorites were "Pyramid" and "Press Your Luck." "Pyramid," because it was an opportunity to see B- and C-level celebrities pretend to care about helping "common folk" win money; and PYL, because it always cracked me up to see contestants take ten frigging minutes, hoping to get "nowhammynowhammynowhammynowhammy," only to press their button and - you guessed it - get whammied.

I dunno, I think Mack and Karen coping with a "change of life" pregnancy and the risks that would pose to them might have made for a nice change of pace, lol.

"My olfactory nerve was destroyed years ago. That's why all my men wear English Leather. Because they can smell lousy and get away with it."

I agree. I don't even know why he bothered running at all, since we all knew how it would end. Okay, Nikki, now it's your turn to throw in the old towel!

The same could be said for their actors' wardrobe. Gone are the days when we had a Lee Smith or Greg York, who dressed these actors for their characters, rather than put them in boring clothes that everyone else on the shows would wear.

I mean, we also call him "Cliff Abbott" and "Jack Warner" for a reason, lol.

If both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" score Oscar nominations, then I hope whoever writes and produces the Oscars this year will do a sketch imagining what it would be like if "Barbie" had been filmed like "Oppenheimer" and vice versa.

IIRC, viewers' reactions to the Two Romans saga were rather lukewarm. They didn't hate the revelation that Roman was alive and that John was an impostor, but it didn't excite them either. (Wink-wink, lol). So, I wonder if the fact that there was little to no immediate fallout was because TPTB, disappointed that the storyline didn't garner a more enthusiastic reception from the audience, just chose to move on, rather than continue with the next part of the story.

That's what made an already preposterous storyline even moreso, IMO. There was a lot about Tom Langan's work on DAYS that left me absolutely baffled. And I think we all would be remiss not to mention the mother of all bad "evil twin" storylines: the Rachel/Justine saga on AW. I think Carolyn Culliton, who was the show's HW for most of that storyline, is a fine lady and writer, but I think that particular story got away from her. It made the Natalie/Janet story on AMC look Shakespearean in comparison.

I'm sorry, but as much as I love and miss Bobbie/JZ, I really don't understand naming Kelly's after her, especially when her occupation was as nurse. Couldn't they have dedicated a room or wing of the hospital to her instead?

Just imagine if you were Kristen and you kept running into another one of Marlena's clones, lol!

It seems to be the one category or categories that the Daytime Emmys people can't ever get right, lol.

Well, presuming that only the one clone is dead... One clone, indeed, is living out her days (no pun intended) on a farm somewhere in the midwest. Another clone is likely impersonating Marlena, with a psychiatry practice in the Pacific Northwest. A third clone is living on a trailer park in Florida. And the fourth clone is a lesbian art teacher living in Santa Cruz.

I agree.

S9 of FC is a clear example of a cash-strapped show trying to reinvent itself for a new decade, but going about it the wrong way. TBH, I didn't mind the show getting back to basics, but I guess FC felt sluggish to viewers after the fast-paced Jeff Freilich-produced seasons.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: social media will be the death of us all.

Not since Keto!

I agree, lol. First of all - and I am very reluctant to admit this, because y'all know how much I feel about Susan Lucci - but as anyone who watched "Double Edge" could tell you, Ms. Lucci (bless her heart) can't handle playing more than one role at a time. Second, whichever HW cooked up the idea tanked it almost immediately by making "Jane Campbell" someone we never had seen or heard of before. As a matter of fact, I don't remember even seeing Jane's face pre-plastic surgery! She just popped up looking already like Erica! That's just bad storytelling. Yep. @carolineg remains forever haunted by the fact that those clones are just out there...somewhere...with no explanation as to where they are or what they've been up to, lol.

People like Nikki Haley believe that no more separate bathroom facilities for "coloreds" means that racism is dead.

Neither have I, @carolineg. I'd kill her off just for the name alone, lol.

Even her name gets on my last nerve. No offense to anyone out there named "Esme," but, boy, did your parents set out to ruin your life! Exactly. Tracy Angelica Quartermaine's motto: "If you're gonna commit a crime, do it right!"

Well, as we know, John and Marlena subsist on their love alone.
