If all these stories are true, Danny Miller sounds like a real hobag, although I'll admit I can see the attraction. I just hope he keeps it wrapped...

 

I wonder if this is one of the reasons Mike Parr was gone from the show so many times over the last 6-7 months. 

 

I don't really buy the "cast divided" stuff though.

I wonder when that plumber Ronny Hale (John McArdle) will be returning. I remember the actor was very attractive when he was on Brookside. Would it be too risqué for it to turn out that Ronny was brought into three-way sex with Laurence and his wife and Chrissie was the result? If that ended up coming out, pardon my pun, I can see why Chrissie would flee to London or wherever if the rumors are true she's not long for the show.

I guess he has too much loyalty to Ross.

 

I saw some fans criticizing him for being angry with Ross. I'd love to know what their reaction would have been...

 

I always like seeing their relationship, I just wish it hadn't had to go this route. But everyone on soaps needs to have a criminal record these days. 

 

What fun to have Finn and Jay arrested on the same day :(

I know some feel that it cheapens the cancer story, but you can still feel sorry for him while enjoying the show. Given the amount of random sex on the show, we should be seeing a lot more of this (just let Zak and Joanie keep their clothes on). 

 

Speaking of men, I felt a bit sorry for Jimmy when nobody wanted to bid. He doesn't look that bad. His friendship with Jai seems very random though. Or were they friends when he was married to Charity? Sometimes I wonder if the show referenced, before Jimmy and Charity worked together, that she bedded him for info on Sadie and then revealed it publicly. 

 

I keep seeing people say Robert and Charity slept together too. I don't remember that.

 

I don't watch everyday but it seemed like this was one of the first episodes in a while to have a community spirit. It's always nice to see.

I do remember Charity sleeping with Robert. It was around the time she was with Chris. 

 

With Jai and Jimmy, I think their friendship was recent b/c I remember them loathing each other when Jai was with Charity. I think it had to do with a business deal or something. I hope they grow on Jimmy and Jai's friendship b/c they are two characters that are isolated and have no real companions. Jimmy hasn't really had anyone since they killed Carl (ooo that still pisses me off), and Jai has been a prick, so he rarely had friends. Its refreshing to see some potential between these two.

 

I loved the communal feel today too.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience?

      That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
