Except GV/Eric will also be 50 as of next year, so Brady/Eric are practically peers.

Well, as you know, we are complete opposites in that I loved John/Isabella, so I was thrilled with their having a baby. And, really? Marlena had great loves besides John, so John also loving another woman makes things relatively equal. So there's one way to look at it, even if one is not fond of Isabella, maybe?

Also, from what I recall reading, Trapper John, M.D. was said to be a continuation of Trapper from the M*A*S*H movie, with Elliott Gould's version, not Wayne Rogers', so that makes it a bit more complicated there. I think - in an episode snippet I recall seeing on YT - Parnell Roberts' version of Trapper had fallen asleep at the hospital, and grainy images of the film were used as he dreamed of his past in the war, so...

And this is a big reason why soaps are [!@#$%^&*]: Arrogant writers that do not believe it is important to please the audience. And since the AUDIENCE watches the show, it's a big problem.

This thread makes me feel like I should join AARP. (Born in 1972. And yes, THAT birthday is upon me later this year. UGH.)

Yes, all of this.

I swear, if you see old episodes/clips of Days from maybe mid '70s to early '90s, it may as well have been another soap entirely.

Why is a daytime blogger on the writing staff to BEGIN with?! But I agree. Like Ron, Jamey is all about camp and idiocy and name dropping old character names without ANY sort of sign that he knows anything about old characters EXCEPT their names. His Sarah thinks she is Renée pitch sucked, and the execution is even worse. Then there is the devil that hopscotches into everyone - which was old almost 30 years ago. There is no heart. It's all camp, plot points for laughs or wacky cultural talking points, and the whole show is just awful.

The e-mail lady was right about EVERYTHING.

I cannot believe Adrienne Johnson, who has history and connections to brothers Steve and Jack, husband Justin, son Sonny, and so many others was sacrificed for the cartoon that is Bonnie Lockhart. I mean, Judi Evans has had a hellish few years and I'm glad to see her. I just wish her current character wasn't so freaking bad and pointless.

The New York cast, in the '90s and present day, still looks like puppies and rainbows next to this trainwreck (and other similar casts). The Original New York cast seemed to actually like or respect each other (sans Becky). This is just off the chain. Kind of sad that things are still so messy decades later.

Zombie Bill Bell would actually be an improvement.

That's like trading being shot for being poisoned. A lateral move, not an upgrade!

This show belongs on Saturday mornings, next to breakfast cereal commercials. A live cartoon. It almost makes the ridiculous Passions look grounded.

The Deadline write up must have been done by a Santa Barbara fan, because his brief role as Anthony Tonnell was mentioned (and a blurb about Dark Shadows in addition to his prime time and movie roles [namely, McAllister, one cold-ass villain in the original Lethal Weapon film!]) but absolutely no mention of All My Children. Loved both SB and AMC, but I thought it was odd. May Mitchell Ryan RIP!

Still, it may better explain just why Philece Sampler was never asked to return, despite reports saying she had always hoped to.

So now I know who to direct my loathing toward, in addition to Ron. What schitt. And so disrespectful to the late Philece Sampler.

I know the world doesn't seem to want to send troops in, but Putin needs to be "taken care of". Like, now.

Also already done on daytime. See John Black/Roman Brady on Days and Tale of Two Todds on OLTL.

The Forresters are actually blue-collar trash haulers, and the glamorous world is all a figment of the imagination of one of the Forrester grandkids, as they play with a snow globe. (Bonus points if you get the reference!)

Meanwhile, Dump is flapping his gums on Phucker Snarlson's show, saying this all happened because...the 2020 Election was stolen. I schitt you not. And the right is cheering for Dump's master. How I wish treason still entailed firing squads as punishment.

At least it sort of makes sense then just why Jo Johnson pined for him. Since it was obvious she had bad taste in men.

Okay, Ron, why did you hijack @Khan's account?!

Oh, God. PLEASE don't give Ron any ideas. This is already on the nth level of cringe and tastelessness. Hope Philece Sampler is haunting his hack ass.

Considering there are other spoilers of Anna and Tony disagreeing about how to handle a "situation" and Xander getting an earful about Gwen from Anna, I sadly think this is true. And considering how hard Steve/"Stevano" flopped, not to mention the whole Gina mess with Hope the last time causing KA to split, I see absolutely NOTHING good coming from this schitt.
