Gosh I love this show! Found this on IGN TV.com. They compared some of the main characters with comic book characters. Pretty interesting.

I liked that we didn't get any of the stupid Girl/FlyBoy love affair.

And I KNEW that [!@#$%^&*] was evil! I never trust girls with pixie haircuts on TV.

I missed a bit or so, were Claire's "parents" actors or the real deal?

I feel the same way. This was probably the best episode of this season IMO.

I'm pretty sure that they were actors hired by Claire's evil Father.....

:lol: @ the Pixie Cut thing.......

It was a okay show. I think the only reason I found this episode okay was that they dragged some of the stuff with Ali Larter's character a bit too long. However it's still some of the best stuff I've seen out of any of the primetime show's this season. Heroes is still my favorite.

I knew the pixie was a fake. A spy. I still love Hiro. EvilNikki sucks, but then again, I don't like nice Nikki either.

It was actors. Claire's father walked them out and that's when we found out they wern't her bio parents.

I'm the opposite, I love evil Nikki but seriously hope that Clueless Nikki died.

I'm excited about this Monday's episode. It will be November 6th the day Hiro saw New York hit with the A Bomb. How are they going to prevent that from happening? Is pixie chick there to cut out the artist's brain? So many questions, hopefully the answers will be riveting.

Very cool episode. I was worried that EvilNikki was dead...but nope, there she is @ the end. I like all the characters on this show. Nice twist that Matt's wife was having an affair on him. I suspected that Micah had secret powers but was not expecting to see it tonight. And I'm guessing that Isaac is missing because of the secret girl, who showed up @ his door last week.

Nathan's still an ass, but less than one after his convo with Peter. I love that Micah has powers, I didn't think it would be discovered until their fight to save the world.

DAYS: December 2025 Discussion Thread

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.

LOL!!
In the past, I've speculated that Empire Valley was supposed to be a story about phony real estate developers bilking people, before it got changed into what made it on air.
I would LOVE for someone to interview Peter Dunne - not just about Empire Valley, but about his time on KL (and DALLAS) in general. I feel like he would have a ton of great writing advice to share.

in total agreement! over the years, i’ve written thousands of words going into all the gory details — particularly regarding ‘as the world turns.’
always wished i could have asked him about the ‘i hate soap opera’ comments. was he being funny, sarcastic, ironic? would have loved to heard the specifics of what he — and gloria monty — hated. and what did he think about the impact on the soap genre.
