I'm curious too. That came out of left field.|

And is he now not attracted to Tyra? Not that it matters cause they're so lame but it would suck tremendously if we've seen them develop Eva as the next Dru for Neil then just drop that romance. After she got Ana back, they disappeared. What a load of crap.

Yes, the Victor vs Paul dynamic should definitely have been played, at least in some capacity. But they are too busy focusing on their fast pace to be able to concentrate on anything other than 2-3 stories.

Neil also (like Karen said) *needs* to be the good guy. And (this is just my take on it), he knows if he just jumps into a relationship with Tyra a few days after Karen leaves, before he's even really divorced, he's really going to look like the world's biggest a--hole.

I think Braeden will or could do for Sursok, what Cooper did for Frantz. A "legacy" character like Colleen should be more in the mix of things with character's like these, and that's why I don't mind her all up in the Newman bizz, even if Jack is mentoring her. It makes it all the more delicious to watch. The only problem is that TPTB are building a Colleen/Victoria feud, and I don't think both actresses are strong enough to pull it off.

LOL. And Heather Tom.

I just cannot believe those spoilers especially the second. Wtf.

Neil should've definitely expressed more discontent but what's done is done. I'm sick of Neil. It's time he went on an italian sabbatical to go find his artistic side.

Okay, but I do not understand. I do not. Is this "too crowded a canvas"? Is this "writers aren't interested"? Is this "Paul and Neil make too much, and we have to limit them to their guarantees"?

In the case of KSJ, when they've been thrown scraps (like Karen's exit) they deliver. So why not throw scraps?

I am utterly shocked at this. The EXCITING story would be to see Nikki genuinely and passionately in love with two men...the abusive Victor who stirs some primal need deep in her, and Paul--who is sexy, but who also makes her feel cherished and respected. That is a helluva contrast. Why don't we see it?

I guess the idea is to create more momentum. Have stories MOVE...and you do that with focus. But if that is the case, then they really should just trim the canvas (kind of like Days has done...I'm watching lately, and while that is not my cup of tea, the stories carry forward from day to day, and you can count on seeking folks regularly).

Eden can die. Cane can go to Australia. But Gloria and Kevin LIVE :). "Just for today, everybody lives!" (Doctor Who, Eccleston).

Yes. The Heather-Amelia switch is the way I'd go. Katie Logan is dishwater. Amelia could play that well. Victoria is fierce. Heather could play that well. It is so obvious to me. Why don't they listen???? :)

sorry to be ignorant, but who is that pistol-packin' mama?

    • 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.
    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that.
