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.

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems.
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
