I really liked today's episode. I'm glad that the Ray/Vanessa storyline looks like its finally wrapping up. I always thought that this storyline was one of the shows few week links. I do wonder if the show has any plans on keeping A Martinez. I think he is the only bright spot out of this whole Montez crap and I would love to see him interact with Robin Strasser again and I would love to see him opposite Erika Slesak.

Couldn't Cristian have done his barstool/knife fight without his shirt on?! This whole group of scenes was just a train wreck and brought A Martinez a few notches below what he's capable of. Once again, Florencia Lozano was the only thing worth watching in these scenes. I'd much rather they groomed Ray Montez to be Dorian's new love interest for when David is off-canvas.

Is Markko leaving?! UCLA? Oh well. I'd rather he died and gave Langston more grief-filled storyline angst, but I guess they can try to have a long-distance relationship and then it can fail and Langston can move on. Markko's sweet and all, but he's completely extraneous.

I love Robin Strasser's tongue-twisting in so many languages as she continually renames the mansions of Llanview. She's entertaining as hell, that woman. "But I gave La Boulaie to Moe... and Noelle!" Brava, La Strasser! But she should have called him "Maurice!"

Hope they don't drop the ball on David's religion and newfound morality. Addie's scenes seemed to indicate that it's not over and done with.

I had no understanding of what Jessica's going through in this episode. She was bouncing between three storylines today, with her feud with Natalie over Chloe, the Buchanans getting kicked out of Asa's mansion, and Wes Grainger's murder. My head was spinning for her.

Most of the leading men on the show right now are very hard to take. I hope Markko isn't gone, they can do so much more with him.

They're pushing the end of this David story at warp speed, after months of the same scenes over and over.

The Buchs not being able to stay at Renee's hotel was dumb as hell. I dont see WHY Asa giving everything to David should have any bearing on that as Renee owns and runs the hotel. She's had it between her divorces with Asa and that was something independent from him.

I somewhat agree with you on that. Ron seems to have great ideas in premise but they seem to run on just a little too long. By the time the end comes I've usually lost interest. Although, I did like the end of the "Rapemance" story. Then again you have to wonder how much of what we see is Frank/Ron and company and how much is Brian Frons.

Natalie's going to figure this hospital mess out soon.. I just hope she doesn't keep it to herself for long.

Loved when the Buchanans showed up at the mansion at the end, this storyline is just too good :D I'm kind of sad that David ISN'T Asa's son, but this should be fun.

How did Viki not tell Jessica about David being her uncle? So weird.

      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.

      Flamingo Road

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...

      Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.

      If the MAGAts were easy prey enough to get manipulated into voting for the tangerine-tinted terror, they'll fall for anything.
