Contessa Donatella

I don't see a problem with people basically saying she's doing a good job but she can do better. She's a young woman. No reason not to think she can grow. I do think her writing is more difficult. But the biggest takeaway is that we have these two fine actresses with this challenging high drama story being told and they are both recasts & neither has been in their role for as much as a year. For that reason I think the people saying one of them is horrible somehow has lost their grip on any level of reasonable expectation. Horrible is simply not on this screen when it comes to the Davis women.

Just wanted to say to both of you @NiqueAlexis2020 that this was a good mini-discussion on DAYs & Marlena loving two men, oversimplified, but you can just take the compliment. .

You tell 'em, cowboy!!!

It's really irrelevant. For whatever reason Frank wanted Lexi to sign a contract. She declined. That was it. The only thing I can think is that Lexi regularly took other jobs & he wanted someone to focus on GH. Of course, I disagree about Mansi's obvious talent. That, too is irrelevant.

I have predicted - and I rarely predict anything - not a darker or more evil Kristina but Krazy Kookoo Kristina. Remember this is a woman who lost a baby AND her partner on the same day. If they push just a little more, which I believe they intend to do, Kristina may go completely off her rocker. Her first symptom was delusional thinking. From her Daddy Sonny she got the narcissists's gene. From her mom, Alexis she got the ability to perform mental gymnastics to support unsupportable suppositions.

Kate posted this morning about the scene where Alexis tells Jagger "his ass in a sling". Apparently they had to do that scene over & over & the whole time they were about to bust a gut laughing at that one line.

Now, this about Mansi's acting choices makes me curious. I think Kate & Kristen are both acting the pants off of everyone else!

Finally! An opinion on the firing! Thanks!

Well, we could meet up at the baseball diamond! 😎😎😇 llblockquote widget

Okay. I pick extra crispy spicy!!

The cliffhanger actually annoyed me. I had just had this new reaction to Dr. Mark Greene, because he was so over-invested in the teens' prom & to me that was weird. Imagine that, someone in Salem, seeming weird. So, just as I was writing him off, he goes & does this other thing. Changing the subject. Well, a little bit. I read this caption to a story that why RonC was fired is about to be revealed. Did you read or hear that?

And, may I just say THANK GOD for small favors. Not all of us celebrate the boink. However, I think that Deidre deserved an Emmy for this https://rumble.com/v52qak8-days-of-our-lives-12-5-91-marlena-and-abe.html I've been thinking. Who know the date of both - plane & table. I'm gonna look at the episodesagain. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, at times.

Jeff darling, you have no idea how right those people were. In general & going by Organizational theory, American businesses are copycats. Soaps, as we know, take that to the most extreme points that are possible. And, the thing is, it's not good for business. It is clearly not good for soaps. At one point in the rosy somewhat distant past each soap had its own individual character, scope, fictional socio-political landscape. Your people, places & things, all different. No more. Not hardly. So, what Gloria Monty may have been right for GH at that moment in time, did not mean it was right for each & every soap. Same thing goes for Reilly & what he begat at DAYS. Luke on GH sported a white man's Afro & suddenly Roman on DAYs curly headed, Travis on SFT also curly headed. You get the picture.

You're very welcome. Easy enough to share. Also it's not like it's some big deal or even a spoiler. I know that some of you skipped out on both the Cody & James scene, short though it was, and then also skipped Home & Heart, which we all know should be named Home & Hearth, but whatever. I just thought I would apprise you of a few things. Cody gave James a black cowboy hat just like his only in his own size, so he can wear it & actually see what is in front of him. Now, at Home & Heart immediately Lois faced a crisis. When it was her cue to go on, she froze. A female staffer grabbed her arm & said GO!!! She went. But, no, it wasn't over yet. Who would have ever guessed that Lois would be hit with paralyzing stage fright. Haven just treated her very gently but ureged her to begin by talking about the products! All of a sudeen Lois's mouth worked & then she reached down & picked up the right product & held it up to the camera & yes, she knew which camera to face. After that it was smooth sailing except for the anonymous internet troll on the phone yakking on & on about Lois's accent. Again, Haven showed her true colors by giving the caller a comeuppance. And, I was so proud of Morgan Fairchild, not snippy at all. aven said she was raised to think it was bad manners to blah blah but it was perfect.

Very much regular nice guy, although also quite good looking. I literally only know who he is at all because he & Lulu fell in love. I vividly remember them together at her place, out at restaurants & even that fateful night sitting opposite her at a table. He & she are apparently emblazoned upon my brain. I saw so much more of her on GL but it is GH that I remember. Recently some other GL fans have said how much they liked her as Lizzie. I did not. So, I also was not overly fond of her Lulu. Lulu & Lizzie what a resume. I recently talked to a friend at the studio. 2 weeks ago all glum, no Lulu yet. just the other day, fairly jubilant: We have a maybe Lulu! I asked what a maybe meant. He said everyone is speculating & we cannot talk about names. So, of course I accepted that names were off the table. He did say, though, that it is definitely not Stephanie G. She was out of the running earlier which we also know from Errol. I was excited just to know there's a maybe NuLu.

Dante had a bad case of PTSD. So his name WAS Dustin! Yea, I got something right. He reminded me of a young James Hyde.

Yes, they were divorced & Lulu had been seeing someone new & that relationship had become serious. I cannot remember his name. Griffin? Dustin? I honestly can't recall but I have a vivid picture of him in my stupid brain. Jordan, who has been of absolutely NO USE to Molly, better watch her step. If she plays with fire, she just may get burnt. Alexis, as she is played by NLG is a very deeply flawed individual but nuanced, layered, complex. Her girls don't have as many layers to them. I have been SO worried about Molly because she has been so totally alone. That moment, when she saw Ric was wonderful. You could feel the relief flowing through her. Hip hip hooray for Daddy.

So, all over, everywhere people are hating Kristina & blaming her for everything. I do not hate her; I love her & also I figure there is plenty of blame to go around. We can blame Ava, Kristina, Tolly, Tolly's family, Sam a little bit & most of all, Alexis! She warned everyone about these possibilities way back in the beginning. Yet, when things began to happen, she did nothing. Or at least nothing worthwhile. She paid lip service to being Switzerland but gave Kristina websites & resources where she could look things up & became able to create that affidavit. Then, still saying she would not take a side, she looked over the affidavit & then kept it for Kristina, in her briefcase, which is where Milly found it!!! So, I figure Alexis had 2 strong alternatives. 1. Tell Krissy she had to begin seeing a counselor or shrink because she had begun to be overinvested in the baby & it would hurt her in the long run if she did not. 2. Call a Davis Women Family Meeting & tell everyone that Krissy was overly investing in the baby & that she needed all of their support to begin seeing a counselor or a shrink. If this had been done, it is true, we'd have been robbed of all of this high drama BUT the Davis family would not be split. This was rare. So powerful. Also a possible reason why Alexis treats Kristina as the golden child. Her bias is so obvious. Molly always get short shrift. Krissy is #1 for both of her parents.

She's sitting pretty if you ask me! Rules every single scene she is in.

Just finished with the episode. GMAB! Imposter Abby's accomplice is Dr. Mark Greene?!!!! I thought Tate looked odd in a tiny pair of brown shorts & nothing else. I cannot stand Sofia. Plus she is very boring. Correct me if I am wrong but we learned they have a significant lead about the hit-and-run car but did not let us in on what said lead is!! Xander is already way too on edge! Are Holly & Sarah friends?

As soon as you said Pearl I knew you were talking about "the other" new female on staff!

I was struck by how DIFFERENT she looked!!!

Wasn't the new host Debbie Matenopolous? @AbcNbc247 Yes, I'd like to see Mansi win an award also.

I definitely think Vagnos now has enough for a reel & Mansi may also. I'm somewhat amazed at Vaganos. It's been roughly a year since we had 4 Mollys in 4 months & my God, how amazing she is in this role. If I recall correctly she began the end of Sept.

This is only my own opinion but I don't think it would be a bad thing to report specific circumstances where you had some basis for your suspicion, as opposed to saying nothing because it's not provable. It would of course be important to clearly label it as suspicion without proof & to provide your rationale. For example: I think January Boy & Megalopolis & French Foreign Legion are all the same person because of writing style & here are examples.
