I guess I'll be the first one to chime in on this topic. I hated that the new month began with Mallet and Marina, but I did enjoy the Edmund/Shayne/Reva/Dinah scenes yesterday. If they take it slow with Shayne and Dinah, I might be able to get behind them as a couple (though I still believe Mallet is her soulmate). I'd love to see a Shayne/Dinah/Mallet triangle, with Marina going to CA to live with Eleni. I'm really looking forward to the next three Otalia days. I'm really looking forward to Phillip's return next week. I'm anxious to see who spends Valentine's Day together, particularly Frank/Natalia/Olivia. I'm sure it'll be Frank so they can torture us a little more! :D

Last I heard, Grady/Daisy/Ashlee/Rafe were all being written out. Is this still true? And if so, when is a last airdate for them, particularly Grady/Daisy. It can't come soon enough!

Actually, only Grady is being written out. The rumor is that Ash will turn out to be Rick's kid, via sperm donation and they are SORAS James to pair him with Daisy, which makes no sense.

I liked how the scenes on Monday connected to each other...instead of being in a world of their own.

Why make Ashlee Rick's daughter when we never even see the kids he has? Just write her out.

I'm so glad Jeff Branson left that horrible role on AMC. He's doing a great job as Shane. He's lucky because Shane never had a popular actor in an adult version of the role, but I still like his take on the role. I never understood why a child of Josh and Reva would be so weak. He also has very strong chemistry with Dinah. I don't know how I feel about Edmund being this dead woman's father (is she actually dead?), but I'm happy to see Edmund again. He's best as an antihero, a man who can sometimes do good deeds and yet still tower about the hypocrites. I hope he has more to do this time than he did in that lousy Bad Seed story last year.

Has Kim Zimmer lost some weight?

How long has Reva been pregnant? Is she going to keep the child?

I think I remember reading an interview with KZ a while back when she said they decided to make Reva pregnant right when she'd gone on this workout kick.

I agree about Jeff Branson. I never cared for any of the other actors who have portrayed "adult" Shayne, but I really like this guy.

So I'm watching some clips on Youtube to prepare myself for Monday. I'm currently watching some scenes from 1/30 and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, in particular, there's a good scene between Branson and Zimmer. But I'm sitting here thinking how much better it would be with a good old-fashioned GL musical cue. I like silence and feel that sometimes it can give the scene added emphasis, but when the entire scene is silent, it's kind of off-putting IMO.

It also saddens me cause GL used to have some brilliant scoring. Not to mention that I think that the HOTL opening would go really well with the new format. It always showed a great deal of outside scenes of each season. I can already imagine what some of the shots would be. Of course, I just want that theme, not so much for the open, but I truly miss the variations on that theme, ESPECIALLY the great solo piano version.

Agree about Branson..he is a great find. To think Shane grew up from being a skinny, queeny little twink to this. It makes me laugh to envision West as Shane in scenes with Togani's Dinah..she would eat the poor little thing alive!

The show has been so good lately, but I have been burned by this show so often in the past eight years that I am expecting to get a clone, painting jumping, Ben Reade as a serial killer or MAC thrown in that I have been holding off my love. The "gay," storyline is slowly turning into an umbrella storyline (who woulda figured) more people are being used (oh my God, I saw Rick several times this month being a good natured dogooder Bauer buttinsky like his old self ) the Coopers arent the center of the universe and besides a few misses (M and M, Grady and the awful Daisy) the show is mostly entertaining. My new fave Super Couple are Dinah and Reva...more electric then any of the scenes Reva has had with the dreaded JON.

Since I can't watch episodes on CBS.com, anyone know any Youtube channels where I can watch full episodes? Please PM me. Do not post links on the boards. Network spies will probably shut down the youtube channel. ;)

Dan being positive about GL? :o

    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
