Man, I am totally loving this show today, don't even mind the Cris/Vanessa stuff. If Viki doesn't take him back, I'll take him.

OMFG the actress playing Sarah is [!@#$%^&*] horrible. Why are they writing lines for her?

Poor Dorian, she tries to do something nice, and no one likes it.

Go Sarah! Im loving her. as much as Im hating this Vanessa story, Im loving that its bringing out the inner bitch in Sarah. She was so bland and boring before and being Tina's daughter, I expected more spark. Im seeing alot more fire in her now and I want her to get rid of Vanessa. Watching her now, she looks about ready to throw her drink in her face and rip her apart. I cheered her on the way she just called her out on her crap in front of everyone. I also want her to drop Cris, bc he's bringing her down. I want her to become more confident, independent and go for what she wants, like her mother. She definetly has potential and I want to see them invested in her character

I see Renee is still rockin' the Katrina Stoneheart look...

Awww Renee gets the LOD. "My man never did anything wrong." It was such a simple, lighthearted, and genuine moment. Compare that to the overkill sappiness of Charlie/Viki today.

can they please get rid of the Vegas? Their airtime is always filler material. They were great back in the day but they have long outlived their usefullness and its beyond time, they were phased out.

And can someone tell Dorian that she doesnt live in Paris anymore

I just saw it and you got them about right.

Why is Catherine Hickland still in there. Lindsay has been recurring for years and hasnt been on in months. Is she even still with the show. It seems as if they forgot her in prison

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

And Johnny Wactor and Billy Miller (along with Tyler Christopher) dying so young and tragically. It’s devastating.
And Nneka Garland behind the scenes…

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.
