There seems to be some real chemistry between the real Philip & Belle.

I still can't get used to Marlena with John. That's what made me shut the show off several times in the past.

At least Roman, this Roman, has Anna again, which could make for a very interesting story with Tony.

Any Stephanie of this version is still way too much Stephanie.

I kind of like the idea of Adrienne owning that bar. It's a shout out to the working class. It just works on so many levels.

I've decided I do like this Jeremy and he's a real hottie. But that whole set surrounding him is annoying as all get-out. Not just slut Stephanie (though Jeremy is being written as a huge slut too. Probably more of one than she is.)

I like Jett. I don't like Nick. Chelsea alternately annoys me or I can tolerate her depending on what's going on. If she's anywhere near Stephanie the annoying part goes way way up.

The interaction between Steve & Adrienne was priceless. So were Alice's interactions with Jeremy and the babies. Great memories that can build the show.

But they really have to do something about the Stephanie problem.

And it was great seeing Kayla interact with Hope again. These 2 need a lot more airtime and those horrors Stephanie and her party-mad silly friends need to go away. Surely the show can find more suitable love interests for Jeremy & Jett than that crew. I have to admit I couldn't get to figure out Danielle amidst all that Valley Girl nonsense.

I hope they keep Doug & Julie around and not let it be a short-lived visit. They add needed stability and a firm feeling of family the show desperately needs. And they need to give Maggie & Caroline a lot more airtime too.

It was wonderful to see Mrs. H again. I agree. She definitely looked stronger and more alert. She and Jeremy had chemistry as great-gran and great-grandson. It just dawned on me that Maggie would be his step-grandmother LOL. She needs to be the one to straighten him out. My mother is 94 and her oldest great grandchild is only 13. This is stretching it a bit, I think.

Loved Bo and Max. The actors look enough alike to be real brothers. I started thinking about how Bo and Hope had electric chemistry the moment they met and wished Days would find an actress with that effect for Max. It would be delightful to have a young couple to love and watch grow like it was (and is) with Bo and Hope.

I enjoy Philip and Belle but Shawn is just a damper who irritates me to death, figuratively speaking. How on earth could Bo and Hope have such a dunce for a child. I did enjoy that he asked Max for a job. That is sort of reasonable, but I'd much rather he go back to get his law degree.

Of course, I turned the channel the second I saw the fawning of Marlena and John. Thankfully that must have been very brief as when I'd turn back, it was already off them.

Anyone else find Sami (by which I mean Alison Sweeney) in a nun's uniform funny? I know Sweeney is Colleen, but I can't help but forget that she resembles Sami and Sami was a world class bitch and did the devil's work (at times) to get her way.

I loved the show today. There were so many family interactions. I know we can't have this many people on every show, but I think the show needs this every so often. It adds such a sense of family and reality to the show. Loved Alice's interaction with Jeremy. It is like she still has her inituition firmly in place. For the first time, I felt like maybe I could like Jeremy down the road. Also enjoyed Hope/Kayla, Bo/Max, Belle/Marlena, Bo/Marlena, Hope/Caroline, etc. Like I said before, If they will keep the vets involved in the young people's storylines, then they will be worth watching.

I also don't share the hate that some have for Stephanie. I see a young woman who has lost her way. I don't think she is going to stay this way. I'm looking forward to her redemption. I think this actress can handle it.

I saw this episode yesterday and thought it was pretty well done. I FF through the teen scene but everything else was worth watching, IMO. Even the nauseating John & Marlena scenes.

TPTB are really pushing the Belle/Philip idea..although I'm not sure if they're trying to make Philip out to be some creep or just keeping his bad side intact...I'm hoping it's the latter.

I still can't figure out how Shawn is Bo & Hope's son. He acts like a 3-year-old most of the time.

I enjoyed the scenes between Bo & Max. I had no idea they were brothers.

Today was really good.

The young cast was so good the past few days IMO. They are much better around the older cast. I liked Steve taking Adrienne's advice. The Justin mention has me excited. I like Danielle too and the actress. Nick is acting like an ass and Jett is looking much better in my eyes in regards to Chelsea. Loved the Bo/Max stuff and Shawn asking to go back to the garage. Good seeing Lexie and her acknowledging Jett. Jett's scene with Bo was good too.

The picnic was so good. Loved the interactions. Frances looks fantastic!! She looks so much better then she did at Christmas and she was sharp with her lines. I loved her scenes with Ciara and Claire. Just beautiful. Her scene with Jeremy were great. I wish we had scenes with him and his family sooner. I loved her telling him to behave. Jeremy was alot better today with Steve and Alice. Perhaps Donovon raised his game for the vets? :lol: I also liked how the cast acknowledged her long absence and greeted her like someone who has been away. Loved the scenes.

Great having my Kayla home and loved her going to get her dad. J&M bugged me today but their fans love this stuff so let them have it to be happy. I liked Belle walking and finding them. I love this Philip/Belle/Shawn triangle and loved the cliffhanger with Philip at the end. I am glad they gave us one cliffhanger. The episode was so good I don't care about the cliffhanger so much but I liked having one, even if it was minor.

Loved the picture ending too. Just a classic Days family episode. Bring on Monday!! B)

      6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.

      Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.

      When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.

      There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines.

      Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.

      Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.

      This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point?

      I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.

      6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.

      1986 began with the EP change from Gail Kobe to Joe Willmore and the HW change from Pamela Long to Jeff Ryder. Over the course of 1986 there was turnover in the HW ranks: Jeff Ryder, Jeff Ryder and Mary Ryan Munisteri as co-HWs, Mary Ryan Munisteri and Ellen Barrett as co-HWs, Joseph Manetta, Joseph Manetta and Sheri Anderson as co-HWs. The 1986 ratings reflected the quality of the show. GL was saved from cancel territory in 1986 because Capitol was still CBS's lowest-rated daytime drama.
