I'm enjoying the show so far.

Deidre Hall's on today, :) so that's always a good thing. I'm liking the Marlena/Kayla scenes today. The director did a great job having Marlena explain how the DiMeras work to Kayla while we watched Steve getting ready to do the dastardly deed.

Go Willow! Philip tried to attack her and she got the best of him. I'm glad we're seeing this from Willow. It proves that she is strong. Knock that cripple on his ass! :lol:

Nice to see Maggie, as always. And I'm with everyone else in not liking Dr. Reibert. He's the only part of this storyline I don't like.

Damn the writers! They give is a small dosage of MABBY yesterday and they don't follow through the next day. *SIGH*

i wonder when the next time we see Marlena again..Will we get to see her reaction to john's dissapearance on screen? or will it be dealt with offscreen? the lack of airtime for her now is pathetic..John i can understand, because of the coma..and because i think John has to stay in the coma for EJ to carry out the rest of his plan..But we should be getting more Marlena...

LoL! I had to laugh during yesterday's episode whenever Shawn's response to Claire being killed during the jump.

"If we don't jump, Phillip will get custody."

He would rather his own daughter be dead than with Phillip? I really, really hated that line.

Aside the ridiculous on-the-run story, Belle did phenomenal acting today. I really love MM and wish she had a worthwhile story. One good thing about this story is getting to watch the little girls grow. They are so cute and sometimes seem to really understand their part in the story. BB is a stark difference as Shawn compared to Jason, and too many cannot accept him. I think it would have been much better to give him an even slower lead in than the weeks with Willow. Actually, Jason was so opposed to a Shawn and Belle pairing that he ruined them in my view. It was too obvious that he was turned off by MM as Belle and only stuck around another year when promised he could have Mimi (Farah). I don't know what Hogan will do to fix this. Maybe shake the quad up and see how they land. Right now, I am enjoying JKJ's Philip even though he is not settled into the part yet and Willow who offers a different slant on life LOL. It's summer downunder and I laughed when I saw Belle and Claire all bundled up and a blanket, but Shawn at least is dressed appropriately for an island downunder.

Loved Marlena today. I didn't realize how much I missed her and especially when she is normal and making sense. Great day for her and hope there are more good ones coming along.

To my way of thinking, the writers went overboard in making Chelsea nasty to Nick. I'm not enjoying it, or her. She is not that silly and not that dumb either. The writers need to be reminded that she finished top of her high school class and is very bright, she probably could tutor calculus herself. Thankful for Maggie today. She saved that part of the episode for me.

Although JKJ has shown a few times that he could handle this new incarnation of Philip, I am disliking him more and more. I'm tired of the screaming and the clenched facial muscles, I'm tired of him using his Kiriakis name to threaten everyone all the time. He's sounding more and more like a little kid on the playground who had his lollipop stolen--"My daddy's bigger than your daddy, nah nah nah nah nah". They could have made him more sympathetic and have chosen not to, they could have made him a villain without him seeming seriously unhinged and have chosen not to so I assume they must be going somewhere with this. I can't believe he's seriously going to be a threat to Victor, though. He can't even handle Willow; how would he run a company as far reaching as Titan? Unless they really re-visit the Victor/Nicole story and have Philip/Willow team up to run Titan. Anyway, still can't believe Shawn and Belle jumped off that ship with poor little Claire. There's not much of anyone to root for in this story right now! But MM did a great job; I really felt her panic and fear when she couldn't find Claire.

I see a lot of danger signals flashing in the Chelsea/Nick story. I just keep remembering Hogan's description of their "tragic" love story. Something bad's going to happen to somebody. I am getting more interested in this storyline, since I can finally feel it's building to something. Same with Steve/Kayla--looks like things are beginning to move a little. I liked Marlena's voiceover, while we saw Steve stealing John's body. That was different and added some drama.

He was very good when he first came on, now I just wait for him to turn green, rip his clothes apart, and yell "Hulk smash!" I'm not going to blame this on the writing, I think JKJ is intepreting Philip as the angry bully with Short Man's Syndrome. I really wonder how Kyle Brandt would have pulled this off...I think he would have been quieter and it probably would have been much more effective. Villians are more menacing and chilling when they are controlled and calm in their plotting; how can anyone take seriously a screaming little man who acts like his favorite toy has been taken away? I know I can't. As much as I hate Willow, somebody had to own his a$$, it might as well be her.

At this rate, none of these people deserve Claire. She's better off with Bald Britney.

But that's Philip. That's who Philip, the real Philip, has always been. He's been the loud-spoken, jump at the gun type of character. Victor has always been trying to keep him calm and teach him that to get what he wants, he has to think. Philip is a hot head and doesn't think.

Totally agree. There's no way I can take Philip seriously as a villain right now. If this is not the direction Philip is supposed to go (and I can't understand why the writers would write him as a psychopath), the director needs to step in and tell him to tone it down. He's becoming ridiculous. And I tried to give him a chance, despite the fact that I never liked JKJ as Philip the first time around, and at first thought maybe he could pull it off. But now I want Kyle Brandt back. His last couple months on the show were very good.

    • That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited.
    • I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
    • That was one of the best grandslam finals.  Alcaraz comes all the way back down 2 sets to 0, and three match points in the 3rd set, to win it in a 5th set tie-break.  And the quality of play was excellent - so many great shots.  What a battle!
    • Indeed. I may try to watch it in full sometime, but not anytime soon... Mark played Sean Baxter for a few episodes when Courtney married Andy. Burke was either on Broadway or at OLTL at that time, I suppose.
    • Well, Josh was a horndog. LOL Yep. It was one of the first really weird things Reva did with her PPD. She became obsessed with the idea that Dylan and Sam should get married. Sam was only 17, and needed her parent's permission. Reva helped them leave town so they could go to a neighboring state where Sam was old enough. Ross, Billy and Josh stopped them, then Sam went to India to try and persaude Justin. Reva followed her and didn't tell Josh she was going. While Reva was gone, Josh advertised for nannies, and Harley applied. He ended up hiring someone else. But when Reva returned, she hired Harley because (in her weird mental state) she wanted someone she could trust with the kids (because she feared Josh was trying to get rid of her and that Vanessa wanted the children.). After Reva starts treatment, she asks Harley to stay until she's stronger because she's good with the kids. At the party, Reva starts going off the rails, insulting Justin and Josh hauls her to a private dining room to ask WTF. Reva starts confronting him about the "affair" with Vanessa, and he realizes she is weird. He locks her in the dining room and frees Mindy and Van from the ladies room (where Reva has locked them in). Van starts telling him that Reva attacked her and needs help.  Reva escapes out the window of the dining room and goes back to the party, climbs onto a table and starts a striptease. Josh gets her to stop, takes her home and after filling Ed in, decides to go to the doctor the next day. Reva then takes off and spends days running around town, coming on to a guy she thinks is Billy, Billy, Hamp, Frank and Roger.  Roger takes her to his apartment and takes nude pictures of her, which he tries to blackmail Billy with. He wants the deed to the land the Towers is on in exchange for them. (Billy had been left the deed by a sweet old lady who lost her home in the 5th street fire. Roger had stolen the deed from her before she died. After Roger took those pics of Reva, she saw him hide them, and took an envelope from the hiding place. She didn't realize she'd taken the deed and not the pictures.)  Anyway, Billy and Vanessa trick Roger into burning the pictures, claim the deed and at the Towers opening reveal that Billy owns the land and therefore the Towers. That's what led to Roger and Alex's breakup and Roger and Mindy's affair. Mark Lewis was on ATWT? 1986 is not a good year, storywise. No bueno. Muy no bueno.
    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.  I suppose even if she did have some fans they were just so used to getting rid of people left and right, so she was more collateral damage. As you said above I do wonder what the plans were for Peggy Lazarus. I think AWHP mentioned her once telling Peter that Peggy Lazarus wasn't her real name. Maybe she would have been another Carl moll... Rebecca Hollen never did get her due in her soap roles.
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
