Wardrobe aside, I don't care how Clementine looks. It feels like she doesn't want to be there. They should have never re-created the original Mac/Billy vows, even though they were recasts then too.

I LOVE how Billy brushed off Victor!

Oh, and I enjoyed Ana's singing today. Very well done. Victor needs to shut up, saying at "your age," to Kay/Murphy like the man isn't a fossil himself.

Oh, come on, not even a little? ;)

Yeah, like we had any doubt you wouldn't.

Seriously, brimike, do you even know which soap we're talking about?

Really? I thought she was a bit timid, myself.

But see, OF COURSE Clementine wants to be there. It's a gig! She's done publicity for it.

You've also been told she has played animated on other shows.

So, obviously, this is the note in the script, and how the actress is playing it. I think you might be bringing something to the show and the actress that isn't there. MAC doesn't necessarily want to be there. MAC had to be talked into staying. MAC is uncomfortable being so close to the love of her life. MAC has PTSD from Darfur. That is what you're seeing.

LOL! Of course I do! I'm all for pain and heartache and tragedy, believe me. And I'm not even talking about a whole story, or even a whole episode, or even a whole scene. I would be happy with a moment or two.

Like MarkH said, a few scenes with a mentally stable Kevin would really go a long way, and address exactly what I'm talking about. Easily solved.:)

No, the actress is not playing that way. The writing is sorta there, but the actress is just so stilted. Just because she's done publicity doesn't mean much. In a dying economy, the only thing that matters much these days is collecting a steady income.

But, Mac had a rough life even before Darfur. Believe me, it's just not in that girl's nature to be anything less than "anhedonistic".

Wow, they're not using Nina much today are they? I love Tricia though, she's like such a little kid (I mean her goofiness today was enjoyable).

I have a question, is everyone posting here watching live right now?

You know what I think it is? We see a young woman (Mac) with great hair (w/ extensions), great wardrobe (although, that's probably debatable), perfect teeth and cheekbones; and we assume this girl knows what it means to enjoy herself and have a good time at least occasionally.

Truth is, though, Mac, IRL, would be working at your local book- or music store, with an imperfect body shape, dark-rimmed glasses, hair chopped off and in at least three different colors, wearing flats and dark-colored clothes most of the time, and generally never registering an emotion above "mild bemusement".

IOW...? Mac is Daria.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
