Contessa Donatella

Someone has tweeted that a year ago, on 2-26-2022 Allie was with Tripp when she had a flashback to her first night with Chanel. That must have been disconcerting for her at that time. 

Oh, my, why did someone tweet this?!!

don’t understand how nobody BTS intervened yet

I get the impression that Corday doesn't function like that. That leaves Al Alarr & I've heard that he is a really great boss so I figure he works on the positive, boosting what's good. But that doesn't leave anybody to attack the negative or the real drag on the team. They need a sh*tkicker!

He should just go away at this point 😂😂😂

I do not think they are gonna fire him. I just wish they would modify some of him. It is so frustrating. When DOOL is good, it is GREAT. But, the rest of the time it is ... what's a polite word for it? Okay, crap. Not strong enough but polite.

Sasha (to Heather): "But, you know what? I can be compelling, too. I was with Brando in Charlie's in his last moments. Before he went to follow Josslyn Jacks into that alley where you callously ... brutally murdered him."

Heather: I don't know anyone named Brando."

Sasha: "The jury will know him. I will tell them. I was eating pie when he left. Our last kiss tasted like cherries."

😆😄😂

Sasha, pretending to be Heather's atty. was not like Sasha. It was like she was the actress. 

They're not only too big, but they're way too far advanced in smiling & focusing on people, etc.!! It is disconcerting to the viewer!

Thurs. 2 March:
Chad, Justin, Alex, and Stephanie say heartfelt goodbyes to Sonny.

 

It's so confusing because it seems like Sonny had a flight out 3 days ago, but I guess this is actually the same day in Salem. This current Salem Time versus Real Time is as bad as it was in the worst of Reilly. I really think they ought to invent a new soap trope where they put the day/date/whatever at the bottom of the screen!

Are you Lynda Hirsch?

No, I've talked to Lynda Hirsch & he is not she.

Also re: Heather as the hook. I recall her telling Ryan she only committed some of the murders while Esme was locked up so they’d know there was no way it was Esme. So unless another shoe is about to drop this is a big re-write.

Absolutely! So annoying.

Ugh. Just when I didn't think it'd get worse.. you mention that made. Match made in Hell.

💯 He should just go back to his "wishful castings" at this point.

I imagine that he listens to all of them. Lorraine Broderick retired so she's no longer there. And, Dorell Anthony worked out his contract this month & is now gone but he's still watching the show even though his episodes are gone & he's tweeting. Carolyn Culliton tweets. Scott McKinsey is on FB.

Love their camaraderie and have since World Turns.

Jon gives good tweet. Last night we had Jackee trying to teach us a thing or two. She was a delight!

@Tonksadora Hey! Since your posting soap related musical stuff. You might like this. The last scene of Santa Barbara. As everyone danced to "Don't Say Goodbye" by Joey Diggs.  ♪ ♫ ♬

 

Yes, I love it. Watch it often. Then, of course, I end up getting pissed at Paul.

An amazing cover of the Annie Lennox classic. ♫

Okay, that is nice. TYVM

I love hearing repetitive conversations over and over. 

Bradley Bell would love hearing that!

The insta-besties relationship between Brooke and Taylor is just ridiculous, and the gay baiting that Brad Bell is doing makes it even worse.

Hollis? I think there's definite chemistry with Brooke, and I hope she realizes who she is (uh....one of the girls who love to have fun) and calls him back. It's time for the S_lut from the Valley to return.

So, you think Bradley is just doing a big tease? You do not think he is going to actually create a romantic relationship between Brooke & Taylor? I've been watching fan talk & I just watched Friday's show & I am wondering. If he's gonna go for it, I want to be watching. But, if not, then I'm not into being teased.

Friday, March 3:
Rex offers Sarah a solution to her problem.

Oh, my immediate thought was that he offered to marry her. I like yours better.

Just to prove men on soaps are universally dumb, Rex (a doctor), instantly assumes that he is the father of Sarah's baby, despite the fact that they just had sex the night before, and he knows she's been married to Xander, and somehow he doesn't see her face which telegraphs everything to the audience. 

Rex loves Sarah. Love is blind.

Ari's got an anniversary & for it they're going to do nostalgia Eric & Nicole. Honestly, it sounds good. He'll probably even tell her that he is single again. But, she won't be able to say the same. 

I just came upon something I wrote on Feb. 25, 2022:

Yes, all of this.

 

There have been (and still are actually) shows that live, die, and maybe thrive on their breakdown writers  when the HW is not good. A good HW might be able to do it, but JG is too burned out to pull that off. 

 

 

 

A sense of humor has finally emerged. We'll only keep you a brief moment & then you can get back to the serious business that a soap faces in 2023. Just someone thinking of other jobs Josh could take on ...

I agree with everyone about Heaven being a waste of airtime.  It was just a weird showcase for Blake Berris and a reason to bring Chrishell Stuase back.  Whatever.  I am glad it's over and we can move on to the better part of the story.

'I'll just stake out the Minority Opinion of being the only one who enjoyed White Space & the Salem Angels. However, not even I think we need any more of it. No, once every 8 days for most of two months, sure, that was well enough absolutely! 

I flipped out over them adding to the already overfull retcon of Tony/Andre with Anna referring to him as Tony's twin. TWIN?! Yikes. 

I enjoyed the listing of the potential DiMera orchid thieves but thought Megan was conspicuous by her absence. I wonder if people know she lives? They didn't name Renee but I guess that was because she does not live. I liked Anna's nod to Marlena's parenting of Carrie. I appreciated Jackee's comedy with the talking urn. All in all, I thought it was a good day & give kudos to RCulliton & to Scott.

It doesn’t bother me because they have set up in character motivation for it- a Cassadine trying to take a baby from their mother.  Doesn’t matter that it was Nikolas or Spencer, that has to be triggering for her.  And also- I thought there was a connection when Esme was living with her before.  Esme is an extreme version of what Laura was like.  Family upheaval, feeling like she didn’t belong with the Vinnings anymore, but also didn’t know how to be Lesley’s daughter.  Followed closely by the David Hamilton affair and killing him.  Laura was very troubled as a young woman with a similar background.

Hopefully they do not have her absolve Esme of everything to get to where they may be going.  Laura can both want to help her and also feel for Cam and Joss.

Okay. Thanks. You make good points. I had thought, of course, about Esme staying with her & Kev in the recent past but not of any of the young Laura & Leslie backstory which is right on point! This will help me as I watch.
