Krista Allen spoke to Soap Opera Digest on becoming B&B's Taylor:

Thanks for the news.

Is it too obvious EJ had something to do with Sami's disappearance? Thinking this has something to do with the Possession?

if you're behind why are you viewing the spoiler threads?... dork!

 

It's going to be a great upcoming week with Ed, Paulina's wedding and secret being exposed and Sami returning.

I took a chance 

As pointed out, Carlivati is writing Possession 2.0 more comedic than horrific, that isn't flying with viewers. I had hoped this week's numbers would show some increase, if for no other reason the brief return of 3 former actors, albeit the silly premise. Makes it all seem in vain. "A" for effort I suppose.

She showed up at the end of today's show. ED was the cliffhanger.

Oh I'm behind, I have been spoiled 

I didn't realize ED was returning.

Now this promo looks promising.

SusanDevil with southern accent lawd. Like we speculated in the beginning wonder if numerous people will be possessed. I don't see Susan possessed for long? Hot mess

The way Donna kowtowed to Quinn's beratement, I thought she had more backbone? It seems Donna could give as good as she gets...Or maybe I am thinking of her Grace Turner character on Y&R.

Ditto Hope's hair, the Hope Mannequin looked better.

Oops where is the November thread LOL

Days finally went up in HH and total viewers.

Good. I think?

Blake Berris Makes a Return to Days of our Lives | Michael Fairman TV

Next week as MarDevil (Deidre Hall) resurrects sone of the deceased former baddies of Salem, look for Blake Berris to return as Nick Fallon.

Jason47 is reporting the news that Fallon, along with our previously announced return of Vincent Irizarry (Deimos) will be part of the Halloween episode that airs on Monday, November 1st.

Back in May of 2014, Nick was shot three times, once in the back and twice in the chest, and died and it was late revealed that it was Gabi Hernandez who the person who shot him.

In addition, Mike Manning (Ex-Charlie), another former bad boy of Salem tweeted: “Oh, hey Salem”, indicating that Charlie could also be in the mix next week on DAYS.

Huge Hunter Tylo/Taylor fan...but I get the show must go on, especially if they reached out to Hunter and she declined. As with others I am okay with this casting choice. The younger age difference shouldn't be too hard to get past, although in scenes with Steffy she might pass more for her sister than her mother.

Krista was my favorite Billie, so yay I like this casting news. I think it can work. 

And will be curious to see if Krista and your man Thorsten have chemistry right?! 

...Watch out Brooke.

I'm all for the Katie/Quinn rivalry. 

Right...

I don't know about Carter and Katie romance-wise, but the story *could* have potential if for no other reason this is not going to sit well with Quinn or Bill.

...Carter and Katie?!

He seems perfect for the role and exudes chemistry with the cast. Thank you @Errol

So Days’ Possession 2.0 doesn’t seem to be attracting viewers, in fact the opposite. It’s still early, but if these numbers are any indication… Not that the possession story is to blame entirely, which airs 2-3 days a week thus far. Still, didn’t expect such a huge drop in viewers.

He tagged KB, so it sounds like Deacon and Sheila will be in cahoots.

@sheilaforeverI don't remember what happened last...

So who can see "MarDevil" exposing Paulina's secret?  I felt today's episode with Paulina confiding in Marlena is leading up to something.

By the way I agree with most of the replies in here, just too many to quote 

I very much enjoyed reading this @Errol, thank you.

Thank you @Errol for the advance weekly Daytime Broadcast Ratings.

I thought B&B would go up again in total viewers with the return of Kimberlin Brown (Sheila). But the show surged the previous week with an increase of 153,000 viewers; I suppose holding on to 126,000 viewers, and losing 27,000 is nothing to cry about. And the show is still above the big week of July 5-9.

Mrs. Trump!

Is it really necessary to refer to her as that?

I love that she's Finn's mom. B&B needs a shot in the arm BADLY.

Agreed.

Aside from being on CBS, I fail to see how or why Y&R and B&B are numbers one and two, respectively. GH has been consistently turning out not-to-miss drama since production resumed, and even the mediocrity of DAYS is better.

We get your love for GH... 

I was taking baby steps to get used to Chanel and Precious Way. Hmm, I wonder what happened...
