This bed is on fire with passionate love

The neighbors complain about the noises above

They have ZERO idea what to do with Phyllis (or anyone really, but Phyllis sticks out, as they made such a big deal in luring back MS and ousting GT).

RJP will star in a reimagined film version of The Saint for Paramount:

Phyllis is acting like her dotter was trafficked to Italy instead of accepting a great job in the industry.

That is so on the money.

More of Artur Dalaloyan, from Russia’s gold medal-winning men’s gymnastics team  :

They showed Dustin Lance Black reacting to Tom Daley’s win at home with Tom’s mother, and he let out the most high-pitched scream. I’m sure the neighborhood dogs were in distress.

Ditto.

The Hot 100 is such a joke, lol. If you surveyed random people on the street, you'd be lucky if two average people have even heard these BTS songs. 

The only song of theirs I’ve heard a lot out and about is “Dynamite.” These other songs, nope.

And BTS replace themselves at No. 1 again, with “Butter” soaring back to the top (for its eighth week at No. 1). Officially the summer of BTS for Billboard.

Elizabeth Leiner gets a lot of deserved criticism for her low-energy performance but I find Burgi extremely wooden too.

If it follows the quality of Chad & Abigail in Paris and Last Blast Reunion, then I have zero hopes. As for swearing, let's hope some light swearing happens!

These were bad but it could be interesting for soaps on streaming to take on some Marvel Cinematic Universe characteristics. Having a mothership and multiple ongoing spin-off series that characters come in and out of but with a tighter focus. For example, a Will/Sonny/Paul series where they can show more of their lives immersed in a gay community, and people like Kate, Sami, and Gabi can pop in (similar to how characters from GH turned up on PC and GH:NS). It would require a creative visionary with a defter hand than Ken Corday and someone to make sure all the different series cohere narratively under the DAYS umbrella, but it would be an interesting streaming model further down the road. A way of introducing a lot of content using tried-and-tested IP.

No sooner said - DAYS is doing a Peacock spinoff with several key vets, a returning Lisa Rinna and the Black canvas. Not a coincidence, IMO. (Ben and Ciara are also there, but hey)

Just saw that, yeah. If it’s reasonably successful, maybe they’ll do a DAYS universe on Peacock of spin-offs (and provide a roadmap for the other soaps). And, more importantly, give the genre an off-ramp…

Who??

 

I liked Tinker on YR. Of course Days would hire him as an evil character and gone in 6 months. They always get rid of the good talent they have.

SON poster Khan. He loves him some Zach Tinker.

It could work!

Khan would approve.

Which is why they should all undergo the same mass purge of stale talent and creatives and move to streaming if soaps want to survive, which they clearly don't.

I will say that some of the existing creatives appear to want to do more but just can’t. They’d have more freedom in a streaming environment (if they were released from the current internal structures, that is).

It reminds me when TJ was "Arrested offscreen" at Wyndham's and Sonny dealt with it. I'm like why didn't we get this story on our screens for at least three to four months starting with the "robbery." 

This show likes to nod to “social issues,” but never really delves into them the way that soaps can. Maybe that’s the best they can do in this day and age, given Patrick Mulcahey’s commentary on soaps avoiding things that would ruffle the feathers of core (read: white, older, and conservative) viewers.

The body is ok, but that’s not a flattering photo lol.

Wendy is doing The Most. She wants to be the star of Potomac so baaaaad.

I mean, the stupidity of this. Didn’t they someone see the huge boat in the way when they started the race?

I can’t imagine the stamina of those guys. Looks absolutely exhausting.

A Season 13 trailer was released at Comic Con (which I forgot was even happening this year). This will be a COVID-shortened eight-episode season with one big story:
