Todays show was really good, something I havent said for 2 consecutive eppies in weeks.

What made the show for me was seeing fiesty Hope again. First, KA is probaly one of my favorite soap actresses of all time so that alone had me enjoying the show because Hope was actually being Hope. When Hope grabbed Willow after Willow had a smartass comment about spending all that money she had on crack I was just screaming inside get her Hope for not respecting that child she has growing inside of her, thats the Hope I know and love. I thought AB did a wonderful job going up against KA, and look forward to more of Hope/Willow scenes.

This Steve going crazy stuff has gotten old, but today I really enjoyed the scenes at the cop station. The writing for these scenes was great and all 3 actors did a great job. I wasn't expecting Steve to jump at Bo like that, and actually jumped a little bit. I have been hard on MBE, but the last 2 weeks she has brought it.

I FF'd most of the Belle/Shawn scenes as Belle was acting like a 15 year old. I had to rewind after seeing Brandon Beemer get half naked, other than that I thought the scenes were laughable, although the ending was nice after they made up.

Can Jed please just leave, or at the very least get a haircut.

Exactly, I would imagine they would have seen each other naked at least at some point through the years. Hell I've seen people naked who I never even dated, lol. It definitely happens, I dont see why that one comment is that upsetting really, IMO.

I concur. She regressed ten years and was acting like she was in Junior High.

Willow/Hope was good until Hope went psycho about having a dead kid. Chill it.

A good episode, made 1000x better by the fact that EJ wasn't on. :D

On a superficial note, WHY must Kayla wear such horrible clothes? They age her about 20 years. The white blazer she had on Thursday didn't do her any favors. And I'm sick of seeing her in skirts!

I thought Steve/Kayla were heartbreaking again today. Was anyone else reminded of the old "Patch" today? He was treating Kayla like he always did before they became a couple. He was always pushing her away. We all know Kayla is not going to give up on him. She will win him back!

I like the way that Days is doing romance again, at least with the young couples. It is nice to see Shawn and Belle taking it slow.

Good to see Hope today. We need her involved in Steve/Kayla's story though.

I read somewhere that Mary Beth assists wardrobe in choosing Kayla's outfits. Personally, I don't find anything wrong with them as it fits her character. Kayla is not like Sami, Billie, Willow, or the now-departed Mimi and it would be silly for her to flash a lot of cleavage or wear something more trendy. Kayla has always been conservative even back in the 80s. Of course, it would be nice to see her sporting some jeans every once in a while.

B!tchy Hope rules! Willow was a piece of crap as usual, but I couldn't help noticing the new hairstyle was so much like Mimi's. AB does look a lot better with bangs, instead of the 70s' inspired feathered hair she's been sporting for a while. But can't they get rid of the lip gloss? It's very distracting and not flattering at all.

I do not see Willow carrying this child to term, but if we do get the baby, I'd like to see Hope and Bo adopt it. I don't think Willow has the maternal skills to care for a frog, much less a child.

I am thinking that Hogan is going to surprise you. At least I hope so.

Steve and Kayla are going to survive this and come out stronger. That is what makes a supercouple different than just any other couple. They overcome tremendous odds to be together. In their first run, Steve and Kayla overcame so many obstacles and that helped the viewers to root for them and become invested in them. Unfortunately, the way their reunion was handled newer viewers did not get as much of an opportunity to do this. My guess is that Hogan is going to tell this story to help the newer viewers understand the strength of the connection and depth of the love between Steve and Kayla.

As to whether Hogan can write it - I have some trust. I probably have more trust that SN and MBE can deliver in the emotionally heavy scenes and show the connection.

wow, I disagree about the lip gloss.Everyone knows that a trashier person, such as Willow, the ex-prostitute, is more likely to wear unflattering things, such as lip gloss. It totally fits the character, and I applaud "Days" makeup department for continuing this important characteristic to further actualize Willow Starke.

I watched yesterday's episode, and I was not really liking Willow. I almost hated her, to be honest. I liked her hair and Annie's acting was ok but Willow really annoyed me for some reason. Sorry I rained on the whole Willow liking parade Drew, lol.

KA rocked and I liked Hope a little but not much. I have always hated Bope and probably always will.

I missed the BB in his underwear part unfortunately.

I LOVED S&K yesterday! MBE and SN were rocking and everything about it was so great. Too bad Steve is going to prison.... :(

HOPEFULLY we can track down something larger with greater clarity.

Usually Shrine to the Soap Hunks, an excellent resource, by the way, covers these issues. I'd say SSH has the best coverage even. Haven't checked there yet, but that's the best resource, I believe, for this kind of coverage.

    • 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.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
