Andy was about 20.


Yes. Yes.

I'm just glad the show doesn't seem to be doing Kirin/Priya. That girl he was with reminded me of Sophie from Corrie. I have to admit I've been finding Kirin more hot lately.

I keep hearing theories that Ross is the father of Charity's baby, and I'm starting to wonder. I hope not. That's just too damn stupid and convenient for me. And talk about a joke if they want to go with Debbie and Ross. He made your mama a baby mama ph34r.png

LMAO....thank God I didn't read your post till after I completely finished part 1. This is crazy! Debbie holding her newborn brother in her arms is just so soapish I love it! The look of shock I swear I thought she was gonna say Charity had cancer or had died.

Instead a baby? Crazy twist. Does Debbie have any other siblings besides the little boy?

And do we know who the father of Charity's baby is?

I will be happy to be wrong but I think it's going to mostly be hype. I just hope the human drama is there, which is what the show does best, and is lacking in places lately. The human drama is what made the plane crash episodes stand out.

One of the odd things is other than Rachel, it seems pretty obvious no one we know is leaving the show will die in this stunt. So if it ends up being the likes of Tracy (nothing against her) dying in the stunt, or Pete, and the big characters are unscathed, it may seem like an anticlimax. I hope they surprise us and kill off one big character (one who is dead weight now...). And surprise me and spare Leyla...

He tweeted Charley Webb, Mike Parr, and Danny Miller (I think), so I guess we know they'll be involved.

I uploaded a few more episodes last night and had to remove a song from one of them because the song caused it to be blocked in the US and Germany, among a few other non-UK countries.

Do you know what the song was?

That Hillbilly Rock song by the Woolpackers.

Such a big hit in the US, right??

Danny Miller, for his charity, did the latest version of the evergreen where various people walk down a corridor miming to "Is This The Way To Amarillo?"

Quite a few cast members involved.

But how would they realistically pull that off?

I called Charity being pregnant before the episode aired, and I was disappointed to be right. They've been there done this story before with Noah - born in prison with a who's the daddy? question hanging over his head. At least they acknowledged this, bust still...

I'm not sure I like Charity having another baby, as I think it's a bit lazy, but they could win me over if the story is interesting - if Declan, Cain or Ross is the daddy, then not very interesting. If Ross is the dad, that will be super soapie.

I think Tracy is basically a definite since Amy Walsh has admitted that her contract is up in the summer. It's a damn shame Bisson has admitted his was just renewed for a year. I can only hope it's a false sense of security.

Loved that video, Carl. Seeing 'Laurel' beat the crap out of 'Marlon' felt good. It was sweet of them to get Amelia Flanagan involved. Jeff Hordley being camp is something to wrap my head around.

Ben, I can't explain my theory at all. But this is Charity, the dodgiest ho of them all.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Flamingo Road

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...

      Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.

      If the MAGAts were easy prey enough to get manipulated into voting for the tangerine-tinted terror, they'll fall for anything.

      And this came out as the "feud" and the media pushing the protests in Los Angeles got all the media attention. They know the press and the public will not care or can be manipulated into approving.
