Watching the first episode now. It's interesting. I feel it's going to take time to memorize who these people are due to the white hospital coats, but I love the look and style and the acting is good. It's going to be so interesting to watch a traditional soap from this period since we only usually see Dark Shadows or Strange Paradise.

I loved Karen telling Maggie and Althea that maybe one day she'll understand the American sense of humor & Maggie and Althea look at each other like blink.png LOL

What passes today for humor is the whole cast acting like drunken fools and being behind bars and making nasty jokes about an actor's weight.

I love how snarky the characters can be. Althea is almost mocking of Liz while Maggie is so utterly dry and blunt. Matt is gruff and no-nonsense. Nick is just a rough and tumble ass. John is rather arrogant and judgmental, yet rather endearing in his scenes with Polly (who really is a kook!). And that first meeting between Steve & Carolee!!! OMG! Steve is just SO charming and smooth while Carolee is INSTANTLY smitten, endearing, and oh so adorable (I chuckled when she got flustered over Steve and accidentally smacked that other nurse in the face with that folder). The only ones who don't really seem to fit are Bill & Ruth because they seem so detached from the rest of the drama.

Just wanted to say I wasn't trying to scare anybody. I do hope we can still talk about these episodes and more will be uploaded as they go along. I'm so glad we'll get to see these, especially that episode before the one uploaded on Monday.

I never thought I'd get to see any of this. I thought they'd just be a bad taunting memory of Hallmark yesteryear. It's just so good to get to see something from this era beyond DS, Strange Paradise, and grainy copies.

      And I’d love to see that beautiful smile a lot more There’s just one problem… that should’ve been sent packing with Uncle Ron
    • Yet another reason some of the characters need servants.  Since some of the sets do not include front doors, servants could answer the off-screen door and escort guests into the living room(s).  
    • I remember them showing a map of Michigan during one of Rachel's adventures, and you are probably correct here.  But the map may have been used in 1978, when Sven kidnapped Rachel and characters were searching for her. They had no idea Sven had hidden her right there on the Cory estate.  So that's just another possible sighting of the infamous map.  
    • The one thing that drives me nuts about this show is that all these wealthy people never lock their doors and everyone just walks in without even knocking.  I live out in the boonies with no neighbors close by, but I always have my doors locked day or night!
    • All the best people are at the bottom of the list. Lauren, Michael, Chloe, Traci, Ashley, Mariah, Sharon, Amanda, Devon. I’d rather see more of these people than anyone in the top 10.. (with the exception of Jack and Diane) because I am still enjoying their scenes. 
    • The live video tribute to Drake last night with current and former actors Thread with link to video: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn  They said that the episodes were filmed out of order over a span of time. As we already knew, re: the upcoming memorial service (not spoiling the airdate here)... the memorial service was taped *before* Drake passed away, and then the studio was on a preplanned hiatus, and the actors learned of his passing during the hiatus. New info from the video last night, is that some of what recently aired (such as June 3rd episode ) was taped *after* the hiatus, so after Drake passed away. Maybe I misunderstood what Martha Madison said, but it sounded that way. My god, I don't know how the actors filmed it, especially Diedre.   
    • I did not expect Peter Reckell to be the one to break my heart today. Incredible scenes with Bo and his family.
    • Barbara, to me, is a mixture of Florence Ballard and Betty McGlown/Barbara Martin (both McGlown and Martin were part of the Primettes before they became a trio and were renamed the Supremes).
    • Maeve Kincaid said in interviews that she misses slapping Jordan Clarke's face..something along the lines "He knew how to take a slap!"   Or voodoo dolls..LOL!
    • Staci Greason was in Paris during this live tribute, which would have been in the middle of the night where she was. So Fairman arranged to pretape Greason earlier in the same day, and then spliced her part into the end of the video after the live feed, and it's all on the same youtube.
