If only the system was different :(. It sucks. I don't know how they would change it but something needs to happen.

I agree Martha is rocking this still and I want her to get nommed next year.

I love Morgan! Clearly, as I said yesterday the new casting director has her stuff together. I hope they keep her on even if it is just recurring.

IA with you, and do see what you're saying. SB, though, if I remember, won Emmys when it was lower rated. Now, it wasn't sitting in the cellar :lol: , but I see what you're saying.

One can hope. That is..........if Ken Corday can keep his damn hands off this show.

Martha is the best thing acting-wise in this storyline IMO. If Days doesn't pre-nom her again this year, it will be a [!@#$%^&*] crime. She might be the one that gets Days/NBC's token nomination, and really, she has the best shot.

the exchanges between Marlena and John were sweet. Tomorrow should be much better and much more emotional.

As for a Drama Series nomination, it's numerically impossible for Days to get nominated. CBS and ABC soaps each have 16 votes, Days only has 2 votes (4 with Passions). Unless the Academy changes its guidelines, Days will be shut out again.

Wow, the show is making me feel again, something I didn't think it could do. If John's death grounds the show in reality again, then I think it's the right move. Great acting all around, especially Martha as everyone has said. Also, you really could see the years of history between Marlena and John as Marlena looked in his eyes. EJ really annoyed me with his smile at the end, I have always wanted Sami and EJ, but it's kind of hard to root for them, when you just know that EJ couldn't care less that John is dying. I would have liked to have seen him feeling bad, that Sami was feeling bad. Also, I wish we had a last seen between John and Sami, where Sami says she is sorry for all the rotten ways she treated John.

Agree with everyone about Morgan; great casting. I hope they give her a contract and a backstory.

It would make sense because CBS normally has 3 of the 4 slots with an ABC show alternating in. Call me crazy but I think they should just let all 9 shows submit to episodes for the actual voting. It could help with ratings possibly since people would tune it more. They could then have montages of every show which is always my favorite part airing throughout the telecast.

For some reason, DAYS didn't air in my market today. My DVR was set to record and it didn't...DAYS didn't even show up in the guide. Now I find out that I can't even record it until 10 tomorrow morning. HORSEPUCKY I TELL YA!

My stupid ComCraptic thing make me set up the guide and my VCR and it randomly resets itself for no apparant reason whatsoever. BUT I thought ahead this morning and left the channel on the NBC station when I turned it off and lucky for me today because it did the resetting thing so I didn't get to record GH, but whatever, I would of freaked out if it didn't record DAYS. I am not going to record over this just yet either.

I am only watch Days since the serial killer story, but this John thing makes me so angry. He is DOOL. I guess it is heresy to say this but I have to be honest, JER was a better writer than Hogan Sheffer and this hack has decimated the show totally with his neverending parade of post teens nobody asked to see. The sorority story? I hope they all get killed, frankly.

Why would the show kill John? It make no sense. Deidre Hall and MM were choking me up today, and it is frustrating this came out of nowhere and not even as a result of a story. He just went from reading letters once a week to dead. And Hogan Sheffer won emmys? He sucks and he has poor taste. If they had to kill someone over the age of 30, I guess I would rather they killed of Roman because he never seems to do much anyway. Drake Hogestyn is the man, the guy with all the charisma wrapped up in a single eyebrow, and Days deserves every 1.6 it gets.

I have never cried like this for a TV show, and all I can say is thank you to Deidre for a mindblowing performance. As a J&M fan, the respect and love between them just shined. And the fact that Drake even put in small touches, considering the past, amazing. They were committed to it and it showed.

I love that Marlena is actually kind of calm. She's not freaking out. Partly because she knows this is it, and she puts him first, and partly because that's what happens in a situation like this. You don't scream, you don't fret around, you can't do anything, you become paralyzed in a way.

Charisma? Seriously. :o. I along with many others are happy for this twist. John has been a shell of his former self for years. That poor taste comment is hilarious I wish I could eleborate but I would get myself in soooo much trouble. :lol:

Yeah, I totally agree with the way that Dee is playing Marlena. She is in a state of shock, and when something like this happens, you do get numb. And she wouldn't let John see her all hysterical, she wouldn't do that to him. I'm impressed with Drake too, he is adding little things in his performance, and I can't imagine what he is thinking. Obviously he wants to end on a good note, but you would think he would be kind of bitter now. I hope Marlena takes her revenge in ways no one would imagine, she doesn't have to be an alcoholic anymore for me to be happy :) Let her take revenge, become a powerful force to be dealt with, as she takes care of her family!

amazing episode today, Martha Madison and Deidre Hall is rocking this storyline. If they dont get an emmy nom and win, it would be a shame. OMG i teared up when he was holding claire and said im going to miss you. So for another flawless episode.

I also enjoyed max/morgan/stephanie drama. I am so loving Morgan Hollingsworth, she is awesome. I say keep her and dump jett and jeremy. I like Max with morgan and stephanie, i am going to enjoy this love triangle. OMG Shelley looking even hotter today with her striaght long hair. I love both Morgan and Stephanie, of course i love chelsea too.

This sorority story isnt half bad, it is actually good. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Morgan Hollingsworth.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
