I had 3 Times when I Cried. Nobody Died, but I Cried My Head off when Maria had to Give Sam back to Kelsey. I was Crying when They had that Montage of Phoebe AND Ruth Warrick and They Finished with A Large Picture of Her. I was thinking of Phoebe, but I was Crying at the End because Ruth Warrick had Died. Then, there was Leo's Memorial Service. I Cried because Leo had Changed Greenlee's Life. Then, I was Crying because Leo had Changed David Hayward's Life. Then, Bianca Started Singing about My Best Friend and They would Show Bianca, but then They had Flashbacks of Leo and Leo and Greenlee. I Loved the Lyrics where it said My Best Friend. I Give You Permission to Go. I Watched that Memorial Service FOUR Times and I was Crying My Head Off. I Watched on ABC, but then They Broke in and said that that Senator Died I think He was in A Plane Crash. I had SoapNet so I Watched that Again at 7 PM. Then, I like to Watch at Midnight so I can see what is Written on the Bottom of the Screen and See the Previews so I would know what was going to be on the Next Day. I can't Remember Them or I Tend to Forget what the Previews were. Then, that was on A Friday so I Watched It on the Week End Marathan on Sunday Night so It would be Very Close to Noon on Monday. It would be on I think from 4 to 5 so then it would only be 7 Hours and then it would be Noon. Jody

It sure did. This was a death done right. I loved the scenes with Holly and Michelle and then later the scenes with Holly, Blake and Ross where there was still that tension from Blake stealing away Ross. I mean, there were just so many storylines happening and just as in real life the characters had to put their issues on hold for a minute to deal with tragedy...but were not totally succesful. This was much more meaningul than say AMC Dixie's death where her sigh, double funeral, was essentially used to remind us all about how wonderful Babe was.

I know it's fairly recent and ended up not actually happening but John's "death" on Days after the hit and run was soooo good. Those hospital scenes between the DH's were pure money, and this was all before any of us knew they were bringing him back. In general everyone on the Days cast stepped their game up...and then they brought him back and it was ruined for me.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DKX9m3ytGIw/ cityofllanview and theonlydaphneeduplaix Now we know Thursday ain't here but here is a Flashback to @longjohnsilvers commercial from 2000 featuring the amazing @theonlydaphneeduplaix make sure to catch her as Nicole on @beyondthegatescbs Weekdays at 2pm on @cbstv and streaming on @paramountplus.                    
    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
