Ok I know I am in the few but I am really enjoying the Phelia storyline. Kimberly Brown was great in her run as Shelia but Michelle is killing it with her own version. It is really interesting to see her play Shelia playing Phyllis. She is playing this physco to the hills.

Everyone in this storyline is rocking and killing it. Todays show is even better.

I have to to say I have just got use to Jana and now they get rid of her. I know I am in the few on this but I really think Colleen and Kevin would rock. I am sorry I know I am twisted but they would rock together.

As for Jack, please let him go down a few levels. Its time too smug needs a reality check and needs it now.

I loved the Pheila/Phyllis face-to-face yesterday...

That nut job is so touched in the head that she had a gun pointed at the baby...

Something does tell me, however, that this storyline is FAR from over...I mean, next week when all the action really begins, are they going to have it all wrapped in a bow and say, Sheila is done with...or are they going to through in another curve ball and keep this story going till let's say, early/mid spring?

I just don't think that once Lauren has her showdown with Pheila it's going to be over.

I am still not totally caught up on this weeks shows yet, but the parts that I have seen have been really good, so far I have only seen Thursday's show all the way through, and that was a fantastic eppy, makes me think today may even be better.

Sheila and Phyllis together was priceless

Yeah, I think so too. They need to take Kevin down the Todd Manning road, imo. A reformed badboy with a whole lot of edge left. GR has the talent to pull that off, I think. I wish they would take Colleen a little darker too and eventually hook them up. It's not like it hasn't been done before. JR tried to kill Babe on AMC and Alan tried to kill Monica. The show needs to follow the chemistry. I think Colleen and Kevin have it. Janna and Kevin don't and Colleen and JT, sure don't. At least that's how I see it.

Darn! Jana is out? I hadn't heard that she was leaving the show, I really liked her and her quirky ways.

I finally caught up with all shows last night and the part that stood out and made me laugh was Paul telling mags "oh she's just a psychopath" like it was nothing she should bother with!!

I'm sorry, but what was so great about the Pheila/Phyllis face off? There was none. I don't understand why they didn't actually show the confrontation between the moments of Phyllis opening the door and Phyllis being tied up. I wanted more of Phyllis's reaction and all of that dialogue that went with that. I wanted to see the actual struggle between the two and how Pheila was able to take down Phyllis. This is one of the main reasons LML's writing pisses me off. She completely skips over the most important and interesting beats of her stories. I can't wait until this crap is over... if I'll even been around to see it played out.

What confrontation? Its the same actress... and in this scneario, one character is a watered down version of previous glories and the other is a contrived hybrid of that very character in her original state and another actresses' character. There is no real character as an issue here. Phyllis is not a character anymore. Pheila? Lets not even...

LML has it bad for skipping important scenes. Everyone is scratching their head wondering how the hell Sheila actually got Phyllis tied up. Phyllis isn't one to back down, so she must have pulled the gun on her, but I would have loved to see it. All I can say is Sheila better not slip up and let Phyllis get behind the wheel of a car while she's outside because her ass will be road kill.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
