What kind of lame-ass party is Noah going to? Parents? Soda? Is this a high school party or a middle school birthday party at the roller skating rink? :lol:

And I'm glad they're recasting Abby. It wouldn't have been believable to see a teenage Noah, and Abby still being played by Dary Rose Byrnes.

Chloe's face when she found out Billy was coming over...priceless! Squirm, baby, squirm! That was the brightest spot on the show today. I could not care less about Phyllis writing a mean letter about Sharon and Jack. Why? Because no real high-fashion magazine would ever do something like that. It wreaks of contrivance.

And I hope we're not going to get another teen scene plot. Those really bore me. When they were in the warehouse the only thought in my head other than "boring" was "is this the same warehouse that Paul kept Sheila in?" Anyway - Eden is a bust and this new family thing for the Balwin's is kinda lame. Does anyone think that River is really going to go to jail?

That said..it's wayyyyyyyy better than anything else on daytime.

Erin, who plays Eden, her site has her upcoming airdates listed, and at first, it was only listed through the 3rd of October, so everyone assumed she was done then.

She's recurring--and it seems that she's getting some better directions, the scenes this week have been good.

SOOOO on team Chloe.

This isn't the story I would have picked for Michael and Lauren and the girl who plays Eden still has a ways to go but I do think she has chemistry with both Christian Le blanc and Tracey Bregman. The scenes of Lauren and Michael dealing with a rebellious teen are pretty typical of soaps, but I just love the way CLB and TEB interact and act off of each other. They have had some good scenes this week. And the boy who plays their son is a real kick.

When I watch how Nick and Phyllis interact as a couple semi discussing issues it just feels so contrived and awkward and seems to inevitably ends in bad flirting or sex. Michael and Lauren's discussions just feel so much more real, although it wouldn't kill the show to give them an uninterupted romantic scene once in awhile. I have to say although I was never a big fan of Sharon and Nick at least their scenes feel like real parents worrying too much about their teen son because they lost his teen sister.

I don't like self destructive and petty Phyllis but if it frees her from her marriage schackles I'm all for it. I used to love Phyllis, but now she just irritates me. Michelle Stafford is too good to be stuck in this boring marriage.

Oh, I know but she was usually more interesting in her self destructive mode and I could understand and sometimes even sympathize with her. Now she just comes off as petty, jealous, insecure and vindictive. She is not likeable at all, and I used to really like Phyllis. She was genuinely funny and smart. Now she is neither.

On another note. I just loved Chloe's scenes with Colleen. She just totally dominated the acting in that scene and it felt like she was just playing with dumb Colleen. Her line about Colleen wanting Lily's life and the next step would be to get Neil to adopt her made me LOL.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.

      I just saw this. Thanks for sharing. The classic Y&R thread may enjoy your posts. It was in very poor taste for Andy Cohen to blindside MTS with that type of question, but I'm not surprised as he's an awful person.

      The way Kat was acting today, it only enhances Silk Press Sheila's stalking accusations.   She certainly takes after her Aunt Dani. It took about 70 episodes, but the show seems to have finally understood that Ashley/Derek have to interact with the rest of the canvas in order to get viewers to care about them... or at least understand what their purpose for being on the show. Leslie vs Kat is a wonderful pairing.... and Leslie/Tomas was comically.   Dani's delusion that she's still Bill's wife.... no comment. I really hope that Eva doesn't turn out to be Nicole's child.. because I find the fall out from the anniversary party to be pretty good and there's more possibilities having Eva not being Nicole's child then being her child..imho.
