Why do these people make it so hard to watch this show??? As much as I love watching, I barely keep up with it as it is because I loathe having to click through dozens and dozens of episodes to find where I left off every single time I want to watch. Now that they’ve added ads, it plays fine through the first ad and then the first chunk of show you get, then it’s buffer city immediately after the second ad. It makes it very hard to tune in for 2-3 episodes a day if that’s how you want to watch it.

I gave up because it's so hard to watch now. I wish at this point they'd just sell it to Prime or Tubi and let them upload it to their platform. They've tried but clearly can't develop a platform that is watchable. I had hope when I saw they had that live channel on Pluto. Hopefully something will come this year. I still remember where I left off and I'd love to finish the available episodes, but I'm not stressing myself out with their system.

If you guys are talking about their free site that hosts all the episodes... the only way I have ever managed to watch is when I have a browser with ad-blocker on. In my case it's Chrome with the free Ublock ad-blocker that is in the Chrome library. It eliminates all ads and the video plays just fine. I just checked again and it works like a charm. I hope I have helped.

OK. What was everyone's take on Kim Zimmer as Nola? I am asking b/c I just watched an episode from '82, and I just never understood the Billy/Nola tryst. Just reading about it seemed icky as Nola was not only with Jason, but was his aunt when he was a teenager. I am just curious to hear from those who watched in real time. I also find KZ's Nola drastically different from the others--very vampish compared to clips of the other Nolas, who were either a social climber who was ambitious OR very calculating.

Kim zimmer's take on Nola seemed to fuse some of the qualities of the two previous Nolas.

Her Nola in 1979 was kind of carefree, but I watched a few 1981 episodes and her take on Nola was different.  She had a more regal sounding voice and seemed more confident/sure of herself.

I actually liked all three actresses in the role.

I still hate that the Pollocks killed off Dan Allison.  They could've written a really fascinating redemption arc for him once he lost Carolee for good.

    • Interesting promo, @DRW50. I'm fascinated by CBS This Morning having on ABC stars. I wonder if they had any interest in reaching out to the NBC soaps.

      ok maybe I am obsessed with @melodythomassco ) I looooove my job! Thank you cast of @youngandrestlesscbs for allowing me to be me!! @melodythomassco @eileendavidsonofficial @hayleyerin13 @mel_ordway @missyclaireegan @swaltersashby @christianjleblanc @ericbraedengudegast @peterbergmanyr @michael.mealor @ameliamheinle @jeddiepeck @jairodriguez          
    • Just so you know I said it... @Antoyne ASHHHHHHHHLEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Yes, the Liz and Lucky scenes were horrible. Kristina better be sent to prison.   I'm already getting tired of BLQ continuing to blame Lois for her mistakes. Yes, let's move this along.
    • Oh I agree that they erred in not showing her bonding more with her family and not having this examined more closely. I think if I cared about Lucky or Laura I'd be more agitated. I think the material they have given her (aside from chasing after Charlotte, which was hurt by not focusing more on Rocco's response and just by Charlotte never having a reason to exist) has been OK but certainly not what it could have been.
    • I have never been much of a Lulu fan either since the JMB days.  I do think Alexa Havins is really a great recast.  When Lulu returned it was at the expense of Sam (no loss to me) but not the best for audience favor, she was barely on screen for weeks after she woke up, then went to run off and put everyone in danger to find Charlotte at the expense of her other child, and finally moved on to this Brook/Dante baby investigation.  Lulu never had a chance to grieve the years she lost, re-bond with her family or her friends, re-integrate herself back into town, or be anything more than a chaos creator. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn is this poor, innocent victim that's being bullied by Lulu.  I don't think Lulu is right.  I would just like a little more subtlety in the writing. 
    • Just beautifully done. I could name some minor quibbles, but I won't, because what DAYS gave us today was golden. That was soap opera at its finest, paying homage to history and legacy and actors and the audience. This is why we love soaps.
    • To clarify, we could argue about the necessity to have John Black speak while in hospital, but the body created an opportunity for people to touch him, and move around him.  Even though I never totally suspended my disbelief, I appreciated their creative choice to form a visual representation of loss.  Certainly there were other ways to tell this story, but it will stay with me because those production choices enabled these performances. However, with disdain, I note that Days has found an odd middle ground between a flashback and a montage.  I define a flashback as least a couple of rounds of dialogue, if not a whole scene.  And a montage would be a visual snippet without much dialogue.  But, these were often just a single line, or an entrance.  It felt like a bit of a tease, and made me wish that Peacock had curated a playlist of John Black's Greatest Hits, like they do for some Bravo shows or SNL characters.  OT - but they have yet to maximize that platform.
    • It's tough for me because I feel like this has always been Lulu. She used to be even worse, slut-shaming, verbally abusing other women, and always being written as being in the right. They should let Brook Lynn get dirtier, but I think the material of Lulu digging and being self-righteous, making everything worse even while not intending to do so, but also not being as in the wrong as Dante thinks she is, all makes sense for her. But I don't have as much experience with Lulu as a lot of fans as I just could never stomach her beyond the time she was a mute kid, so I don't have much right to speak.
