Sign me up for a Nicole/EJ pairing. I could watch those two read letters around a table talking about some bullshit romance and I'd still be happy (*snicker*).

Chloe and Lucas........yummy. Yummy yummy screw.

Phillip and Morgan? I could get into it. Kristen Renton is smokin and Jay Kenneth Johnson is just.......see the above comment.

I'm back to hating Chelsea again. No real reason why, but I do, and I don't care.

I'm still on Tuesday's episodes -- sorry!

EJ & Nicole: HOT. Even though I think EJami may be the end-game (and I like them, too).

JKJ is always HOT but that goes without saying!

Um, I have to laugh at FauxRoman everytime he opens his mouth:

Random policeman: Lucas Horton, you are under arrest!

Lucas :ph34r:

Sami: Daddy! NO! Don't do this!

Roman: Thami. Come on. Lucath vi'lated the conditionth of hith houth arrest. Not only did he leave the D'Mira mansion but he deliba-- debila-- deliballally took off hith ankle bwathlet. Hic!

DAYUM. Either Roman is a squirrel storing his food in his cheeks. Or he's a drunk! :lol:

LOL... He's been like that for years. I think he's just lost most of his back teeth, that's what it sounds like to me. And to me, it's more of a "Shammy" instead of a "Thami."

But what I want to know is: who the F is making everyone on Days obsessed with "Going Green?" Is that an NBC thing? Or did Peter Reckell not agree to re-sign his contract unless all the Brady's became environmentally conscious? LOL.

Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with going green... it's just a little hamfisted the way they force it into every script. "Oh, thank goodness the Brady Pub went green! Not only is there enough battery power to keep us running through the backout, we're also negotiating with the city to find a way to sell the power back to the grid!"

We. Get. It.

Until soaps are no longer written in this condescending tone, people will turn them off.

LOL, I noticed that, too. And ITA about the condescension. At least it wasn't as bad as that Midol promo with Stephanie easing Morgan's cramps. Oh, and migraine. Thanks, Midol!

Liked yesterday's episode because it featured Victor and Nicole celebrating their divorce. Sigh. I love the Kiriakises. Especially Victor. And I have been adoring Nicole since she returned. I liked the way the JER-tastic flashbacks summed up Victor and Nicole's history -- and ended with Victor strangling her! Cue to Victor, yesterday, smiling malevolently across the table at Nicole. :lol: That heart attack at the end -- Victor better not die.

Stephanie & Max bother me. I don't think it's the sorta-incest thing. I think it's the two-permatanned-bimbos-so-why-should-I-care? thing.

Roscoe Born's voice, though. It gives me goosebumps!

The "Going Green" crap is something NBC Universal is doing across all of its shows and cable platforms -- one special day or week is fine, but when you do it day in and day out it gets tired real fast.

Poor Victor. I swear he had that stroke when he heard Caroline say it's a date. Probably shocked the living crap out of him. I did like the flashbacks to him and Nicole. Now THOSE are the flashbacks I want to see. Six-year old flashes tell a good tale, not stuff we've seen just the previous day. The good thing about this is I think they're setting the groundwork for him and Caroline to be possibly involved.

Today had the worst use of flashbacks ever.

In one of the acts which lasted a total of 9 minutes, 6 minutes of that were flashbacks! First Chloe has a FB (scene that we saw last week) that's 3 minutes long and in the VERY NEXT SCENE, Max has a FB (scenes we've seen numerous times already) that's also 3 minutes long.

And it looks like Kate/Dan slept with each other.....off camera. I can't think of anything else that "Chelsea can't find out." That is so lame to have it off screen.

What's with all the off-camera stuff?

Seriously, GL did this a few years ago with... uh... was it Beth and Rick? I don't remember... it was one of those "Yeah, they slept together, and we'll reveal in flashbacks how it happened!"

Oh. My. God. Just TELL US A STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I totally disagree with it comes to EJ and Nicole. They've been building the bond of friendship/clientship for several weeks now, all the time with Nicole showing that slight longing. Then, there was the day that EJ and Nicole were going to make love, but Nicole stopped it. EJ just got his heart slapped, and he wanted to go on. This isn't anything unusual on Days. And, it seems like quite a few people on the Net agree, even some EJami fans. There are people who HATED the whole EJami thing and the way it came about, but enjoy James Scott. This is like a second chance for him. Certainly, AZ has improved immensely since her last bout on the show.

Now, my concern is Dena dropping the ball on this whole thing. I would love to see EJ use his Dimera-ness against Trent. I think if they continue with EJ and Nicole, they have great possibilities. Plus, this would involve more characters in an umbrella story with Trent and Max (heaven knows, we need more than Max to keep this afloat!). I want to see more of the Nicole/Ava friendship come into play before Ava leaves. So, this is my worry.

Now Lucas and Chloe? Yes, that was rushed and forced and a silly obstacle. They want something new for Lucas, but they're not thinking it through thoroughly. I am of the mind, though, that both Lucas and EJ need new things for a while. Frankly, I'm hoping that Allison Sweeney chooses to take a break during her pregnancy, concentrating only on The Biggest Loser for a while. The whole Sami character has gone down the drain. What was intriguing about her was the fact that she WASN'T Belle or Carrie, complete with glitter and Teflon. Now she is them, but of the shrewish nature. What the heck is attractive about that? Also, this sudden defense of her mother? If anything, from the way Marlena has treated her over the years, she should be a little wary, but heck. That's my "I dislike Marlena" prejudice coming through.

No, JackPeyton, I'm sorry. There are good things, but it's far from perfection. Although, I like Kate being a monkey wrench in the whole Chan thing, which needs to die and die now. They've gone from hero worship of Dan to being wary of him, but now with Victor, he'll be the hero again. I need a barf bucket.

And, I'm sorry, but I find Stax blah. I love DB against RB, though! Roscoe Born is the ultimate in villainy right now, which means the character will be dying soon. Gosh.

ETA: I just realized I quoted the wrong post! I meant to quote Toups's post about Nicole and EJ. Sorry!

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.
