I know Lauren and Michael aren't really all that popular on this site and a number of people find them boring, but I thought I would give them a shout out since they just celebrated their third anniversary on the show.

This is a short but well done Likey anniversary video that I believe shows why the writers are missing out on using an established couple with talent and natural chemistry together.

By the way, I enjoyed feisty Lauren getting in Gloria's face today. Too bad the writers will probably have her propping Gloria tomorrow.

i am a huge michael/laurenf an and i couldnt agree more.

they were actually unharmed by LML hack saw she had going bu flying under the rader. i think every soap needs a stable couple and i think lauren/michael are that here. they dont have a perfect marraige but they also dont have affairs. any issues they have are usually internal or caused by michaels family. i dont midnt hem being played a b/c couple if it emans them going unharmed.

now i what i wouldnt give for a Lauren Fenmore story tho...

Mickey & Lauren are still popular, definitely with me, but we still all have lots of reason to be pissed when Tracey Bregman's sole purpose on the show is to be a cue speaker/pod for Michael and his family...

Speaking of the Baldwins: NuEden is Recurring!? Wasn't the previous actress on contract?

I apprciate the positive outlook and I definitely do not want a Sheila redo, but it's been almost two years since their last story (Sheila as Phyllis) so I wonder how long they'll have to wait. I think the writers like keeping them the happily married couple amidst the chaos of the other couples. They can use Likey to prop other characters' stories i.e. Phyllis, Gloria, Kevin and Victor. I guess Maria could give them some issues to deal with considering the Gloria spoiler. Though the writers have to actually focus on them to create them a good story. It's like this so called Michael story involving River which lasted a few weeks before being backburned. It was poorly thought out and executed, lost it's original purpose and is quickly being wrapped to get to another Gloria story.

I have never liked Phyllis and Nick, but I have to say, I thought their scenes were well acted and written today. The best thing that could have happened to Michelle Stafford is to have Nick and Sharon kiss. She does not play happily married well, but she is a force on screen as a schemer on the edge.

You know I really wouldn't mind that either. I could forgo a Likey story if we saw Lauren involved in a business story or anything apart from constantly dealing with her in laws. They could continue to use Michael as their resident lawyer, have Lauren involved in a business story maybe helping Amber with her new business or dealing with her stores financially suffering due to the economy. Then continue to occassionally focus on Likey's family life and marriage like they do now.

They were amazing. They felt real...MS's Phylis was on her A game today. She had all the blame on Nick, and after all the coniving she's been doing since the funeral, that's pretty hard to do. I wanted more. I love that Nick didn't try to lie, and it gave some respect to both Sharon and Phylis. I'm not a JM fan, but he really does make Nick a good guy. I really want this to tear their marriage apart because of scenes like today.

Anyone think it must irk Heather Tom to no end that she isn't on Y&R? I know she had opportunities to return before AH, but seeing as Y&R is in such good form and B&B is not..it must be so sad for her. And I wonder what the writers are going to do for Victoria and JT. They're barely on.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
