Ummm......go back furthur, Thaao. Remember you playing Victor Cassadine? Remember the ice machine?

Sometimes people want to watch outrageous storylines - Monty proved it....Reilly proved it. It doesn't have to be "great reality", it just has to be interesting and fun.

Thaao Phenghlis is the nastiest soap star I ever interviewed. Jim Reilly was a nice man who never said anything bad about anyone in public and rarely in private. Thaao only wishes he had the fortune and success enjoyed by Reilly over all his years in soaps. Shame on Thaao for speaking ill of a dead man. Especially one who kept him employed for years!

I agree with Thaao on the facts. I hated JER's work but now that he is dead, I don't know we have to respect his memory. JER was a nice man, a plague for daytime for sure but a nice man and being nasty to him, especially now that he's dead, it's not the best thing to do. He could have respectfully disagreed. And by the way, Thaao is not the best actor I've ever seen...

I agree with Thaao as well. Because that man is deceased doesnt mean he got to around lying and say his work was great. That is Thaao opinion of the man dead or alive. He is only speaking what he feels and I totally agree 100%. I was never a fan of the guy's work myself, but I watched Days because I am a fan no matter who is writting. I watched Passions sometimes, but not because of the writting but the actors. James Reilly didnt keep him employed Ken Corday kept him employed. I like Thaao style he said it when the man was alive and now that he is passed away he still keeping the same tune. I am pretty sure that James Reilly respect Thaao or any other actor who didnt like his work to not change the way they feel about his work now that he is dead.

I have never been a big fan of Thaao's, but I agree with him here. And I for one have no problems with him speaking his mind. I mean this is America where we have freedom of speech.

Others have said bad things about other dead writers and stars without being raked over the coals. And how often are other dead celebrities, politicians and others talked about. I mean how far do we carry the not speak ill of dead.

I think Thaao has his information wrong about the ones who killed him off as Gloria Monty and Pat Falken Smith killed him off on GH - so it wasn't just Gary or JER. And why does Gary come into it. Gary is not the writer.

This is just another case of Thaao burning bridges where he doesn't need too. He was lucky after what he did the last time that Days let him come back. But they did and fans forgave him - just to be happy to have him back on Days. Now he goes on the attack again. He needs to remember that Days fans are not the most forgiving fans out there. He got another chance with them - he better watch out if he expects another.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • 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. 
    • 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 the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
