I love this show. I hope lots of people are watching so we can have good discussions. It's going to be a good season. All you Ashley Jones fans better be watching, since she is playing Daphne this season. B)

Let me say I am so so so happy Lafayette did not die (yet, anyway).

Previews for next week show him asking to be made into a vampire. That could be amazing.

I do wonder what the evil secret of that vibrating Mary Ann is. Is she a grecian goddess? On this show, anything is possible.

Me to. I was holding my breath on that one all this time. The show did a great job of making me think he really was gone.

I think Mary Ann is a follower of the god Pan. She seems to get off on people who are drinking or on drugs in some way. I don't quite get it though.

Here is an interview with the actor that plays Lafayette. It was actually on EW.:

I freaking love this show..I'm so happy that its back...Sunday night's premiere was excellent and i'm happy that the show has become such a big hit...It's definitely the new watercooler show..

Those ratings are great news. Sounds like a lot of people found the show since the end of season 1 and the premier of season 2. Nelsan Ellis also reference season 3 in his interview and it sounds like it's already a done deal. I have to say one more time, THANK GOD Lafayette did not die.

I watched a second time and I can't wait until Sunday.

I think it's possible. Did you get a chance to read the interview I linked above? NE seems pretty confident about his place on the show now. I could definitely accept Lafeyette as a vamp, but I hope it doesn't happen until the end of the season. I want to see a little bit more of his human struggles for now.

I had missed that link.

Yes, he seems to think there is

in his future. I like when these shows leave their books behind. I have intentionally stayed away from the books, but now, as the show diverges, it is less likely I'll be spoiled.

Jason Stackhouse is insanely hot, so I don't want him to become a religious bigot. I like Lafayette and Jason most, I think. And Tara!!

That man is sex on a stick! And I'm very much attracted to Lafayette (story of my life).

And I'm not excited about Daphne.

Awesome spoilers. I don't understand them all.

I've been struggling with who Maryann is. The series is apparently deviating from the books a bit here, so we can't be totally spoiled.

That said, here is what another website (greyblood) seems to think:

    • I'm inclined to agree with you and I loved her at Santa Barbara.
    • I haven't watched DAYS in years, so I have some questions for anyone who can answer them. Is the show actually acknowledging that Jeremy abused Stephanie?  The things he did to her back in 2007 were reprehensible.  I wasn't watching too much when that was happening, but I seem to remember that the show (at the time) didn't outright label him an abusive partner and instead acted like he was just badly behaved or something like that.  Could someone who was watching back then tell me how they remember it?  
    • It also strangely happened while the story was airing. You had a gothic and spooky story that because it got eyeballs ended up being dragged out and turned into camp. Marlena starts talking to herself constantly with that voice, she’s strapped to the bed for a never ending exorcism, would almost die multiple times during the process, and then everyone would just leave her there with Caroline Brady sitting next to her holding a rosary. Reilly had the show so segregated that when Carrie found out what was happening in practically her next scene she was like I’m praying for Marlena. Now what are we going to do about Sami? I don’t know about anyone else, but I would probably stop my storyline for at least a couple of episodes and have to go see my stepmother that had a huge part in raising me floating around with those eyes in her beautiful penthouse. It was just so stupid, and when it started I didn’t necessarily agree with the story being told, but at least it was taken seriously.
    • Yes, I feel the same way. I get the reasoning behind hiring him. He was playing a very similar character on RH, and they were in a pinch. I also found his accent very distracting. But then, Bev also didn't sound like she was from Illinois, and it didn't bother me a bit. That said, I've always had a great deal of sympathy for the situation he was in. It's never easy to take over from someone popular with fans, and how the TPTB were always insisting he was coming back eventually was another issue. Hearing he was going through it in his personal life on top of that makes me even more sympathetic. I found the article where it mentioned he had worked on both soaps at the same time. This was written a while after he left the show. Interesting that he was open to returning and that fans were asking him about when Alan was going to get out of jail. To this day, I don't understand why they kept Alan off the canvas as long as they did. He should have been there in the thick of Roger's return (without the dumb attempt to kill him), especially while he was married to Alex. To me, Raines was lacking in a lot of qualities needed for Alan. I think he would have been a better Mike Bauer.  They took five years to bring Alan back, I think they could have found someone better. I don't think anyone is irreplaceable. Anyone who took over the role would have been different from Bernau. But somewhere out there was an actor who would have had the suaveness, intensity, and charm that IMO the character needed.

    • I did feel like JFP's Y&R was decent. Of all the recent HW/EP swaps, her period was very safe but watchable. Nothing spectacular but better than what we have now.
    • I don’t watch B&B but I did know about Heather and forgot her. I really don’t know anything about Lawrence. Do people like his scripts?   Yes she did! And I know she did double duty too, even if Bell slowly phased Julia out while she wrote for the show.
    • Well, you are the most ill-informed, condescending person on this board so I am glad you enjoy mocking me? Or whatever you are trying to do lol.  You literally can't comprehend the simplest things about the show and don't watch, but are literally shaming me for being a women?

      One other side note, because now I've re-read 1993-1994.  I think that I found a ret-con issue. In 1993 after John finds out that Stefano is Kristen's father. It is not like I am claiming to have found nuclear fission, clearly mistakes happen.  But, I found this to be amusing. In 1993, Stefano becomes deadly ill, so Kristen tells John that she needs to be by her father's side, but not to worry about the deadly disease, because she's adopted.  Given, that I've always thought of Kristen as being adopted, until the more recent cannon that she is Stefano's biological child, it is interesting that in 1993, the week before Tony comes to town to announce that he is Kristen's fiancée.  Kristen is saying that she can't give blood to her dying father, because she was adopted.  So, the current reverse in cannon, neglects that detail. It is so funny to read this and then see Kristen and Tony in the crypt this week, 32 years later.  That's more than half the show's history at this point, amazing.
    • It was shuffled off the stove way before that. Think of the early summer stuff with Gio, Emma, and Dalton, which they basically dropped for weeks at a time, and then also put them on the back burner until recently.
