And if she's gonna look like she's retired in Miami, then, I say, be a little more Blanche and little less Dorothy or Rose!

Well, a check is a check.

DAYS is way past due for an introduction of new families to keep the show fresh and moving forward.

This country is so sold on the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps narrative, they forget that many don't even have the bootstraps.

Grace Slick was right: there comes a point when older artists just shouldn't try to compete anymore with the next generation. (Of course, Grace said it less delicately, lol.)

If I had been in charge, I think I would have burned down Company (it was time) and had someone - perhaps Bridget and/or Nola - convert the lighthouse into an independent bookstore/cafe/performance space. They could have even CALLED it Lighthouse Books.

She'll probably play Ben and Ciara's son, now SORASed into a full-grown daughter.

I don't even know where the accent comes from! Like, is he supposed to be Southern or Boston Brahmin or...?

True. SSH/Julie should have a more youthful-looking wardrobe. But not TOO youthful-looking, if you know what I mean. Otherwise, she's gonna look desperate, lol. They should have written Sonny's wardrobe changes into his storyline. They could have said Sonny became vegan while away, which helped him shed weight and allowed him to improve his wardrobe, lol.

When did Chip Dox quit/retired/was fired as Production Designer? Because, I think that's when DAYS' overall production aesthetic went into decline. It's one thing not to have the cash for lush sets (or lighting or music or wardrobe) anymore, but Dox gave DAYS its' scenic designs a distinctive look that you didn't see copied on any other show. Now, though, DAYS' sets are so generic and all-purpose, they could work just as well on B&B, GH or even Y&R.

IIRC, Michelle wanted to convert the lighthouse into some sort of nightclub at some point. And she (or whoever) was gonna call it "Light," or some nonsense, too. The concept behind Conboy's opening wasn't wrong, but the music and production values for it were. But, then again, CAPITOL's opening sequences were pretty underwhelming, too. Ah, yes. I still remember several people online calling it The Maureen Garrett Memorial Baseball Field. Agree.

Amen. Plus, Leann Hunley seems to be the rare actor who isn't afraid to look older (turkey neck and all) on camera. That's darn refreshing.

To me, it just seemed like a lesser version of something I would see at Disneyland. Then again, it's been a long, long, LONG time since I was impressed overall with DAYS' production values, lol.

Why? Are they about to shut down the buffet line at the Golden Corral?

Hey, it's more believable than Judith Chapman!

Ben looks okay, too, but that's only because he owns just the one shirt and jeans.

Frank Valentini must be on vacation.

Believe it or not, I once snuck onto the SP set while at the NBC studios to watch a taping of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." (Don't worry, no one was there that afternoon, lol.). It was...a'ight. Seeing it up close and personal, though, I realized - perhaps, for the very first time - how the television cameras can do wonders for sets, lol.

Not just on the show, though. I still recall when he co-hosted part of the Daytime Emmys with Susan Lucci and thinking, "Damn, those two are hot together!".

That's pretty much the only way you'll get folks to watch the Daytime Emmys, now that Susan Lucci's hunt for the Great White Emmy is long over.

Actually, you could always ignore pretty much anything Gayle says.

And then there are the two Jennifer Hortons: Cady McClain's Jennifer, who looked very chic and age-appropriate; and Melissa Reeves' Jennifer, who looked like a white woman dressing up as Moms Mabley for Halloween.

Perhaps. But then there's the other problem (among many!) of Conboy's blatant predilection for hiring young, feckless men who looked pretty but who couldn't act for [!@#$%^&*].

I'm sure Chuck went home afterward, stood naked in front of his mirror and reminded himself that he was good enough and smart enough "and doggone it! People like me!".

She's officially become Mae West. Except with a little less dignity.
