But a big problem was the writing for both Michael and Lauren. They have been used as nothing but props for the criminal family for years. First under LML and now under MAB. Yes, CLB can chew scenery but when he is out of Gloria's realm he is much better. One of the reasons Michael and Lauren don't fit in now, is because they are not some sick couple screwing around. I think if they wrote them some drama in the guise of personal conflict, threats, family illness where we saw a committed couple struggling in a very real way it could balance some of the cheating and darkness.

Of course as a fan I am completley biased but CLB and TEB were very moving when Michael thought Lauren was dead, they thought there was something wrong with their unborn child and later when Fen was kidnapped even if the Pheila story was a joke. They can bring the emotion and pull at the heartstrings. Of course, maybe Katherine/the Chancellors will be the only ones to get those types of stories under MAB.

Ok, my Lauren and Michael post for the week. Now back to regular programming.

that's ALL you - though the day we learned Sharon was pregnant I said "Mj is gonna get that baby!" LOL!! I'm sure everyone here is researching a

today after ED's interview. i can't imagine how they're going to drag this out for so long. i mean they're not that far along are they? Don't they have like 6 months left to be pregnant?

The baby switch will only proceed if Ashley has a hysterical pregnancy and if they have her stomach growing and feeling the baby kicking until she goes into labor. A 70 year old (with two vasectomies) and 50 year (who was told she could not get pregnant) expecting a baby was one thing, but now she will have a hysterical pregnancy and her "baby" will be delivered by a sexual predator after her own baby was miscarried caused by Adam who apparently cleaned up what was expelled and burned it. It just is going too far.

And yet, that is what I think will be what happens. And we will see Ashley "delivering" her baby probably by the sexual predator OB/GYN Adam is blackmailing (now isn't that pleasant), Ashley will obviously become unhinged and actually start feeing her baby kick, and Adam will be in cahoots with MJ who will steal Sharon's baby. Better yet, wasn't their a rumor that Sharon will be pregnant with twins (one Jack's and one Nick's)? She will be told one baby died and just happened to deliver at the exact same time as Ashley. And Jack's baby will be the one to be raised by Ashley and Victor. Of course, how will that fulfill Adam's vengeance against Victor? And will Adam now suddenly stop haunting Ashley with Sabrina? :rolleyes:

I have terribly. Well, at least Michael and Lauren. Eden can go back to the ashram and Gloria and Jeffrey can just go. Of course even Gloria and Jeff get more screentime than Michael and Lauren.

But they won't. Kevin is a MAB fave and Gloria and Jeffrey will probably stick around for comic relief. Lauren is the one who will be sacrificed and maybe Michael, the two vets.

    • 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?

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • 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!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • 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.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
