its been abuz for some time now that they were penning an exit.

im sure it has to do with her contract. most shows wont allow actors to work past the contraxt date unless they agree to a one month type thing to finish talks.

what i really know is.... if they did pen an exit and its been filmed, when will it air? and are contract talks done? forever?

Probably, but it seems like wealth creates a need for more wealth.Not that I have any experience with this problem first hand. :lol: It probably takes a lot of money to maintain the lifestyle she is accustomed to though, I would think.

Well, when someone writes a post that long, even I find myself being lazy and not reading the entire thing...

I hope we're all wrong and they'll make a deal, even if it takes months.

I wish MAB would get a clue and cut the people fans don't like.

Gloria and Jeff-only a few people like these two. This may be a Bloom/Sonny thing because I heard they made LML hire Shakleford back after she killed off his character.

Tyra and Ana- these characters should have never been brought back when they went off to that music school. TPTB make these excuses to keep this woman on this show.

On to the younger characters...

Noah, Abby, and Eden-write them as their own characters instead of making them into the glo by jabot kids. They're not Billy, Brittney, and Mac.

The Scoobies-some of these characters are in their 30s, stop having them act like teenagers!

The way she's written is unlike how HT Victoria was but the way she acts in the role is discouraging. She's still missing that UMMMPPHHH. It's just a very incomplete Victoria to me. She's an ok actress I can see her playing a more tranquil, laidback humble character without feeling as if something is missing. It's probably not the best of compliments to her as an actress to type cast but that's how I see it. She's an ok actress she's just not Victoria

As an actor, you're supposed to bring life into the littlest of scenes you get. The easy stuff they've given Amelia Heinle, and she still hasn't delivered and almost SLEEPWALKS through her scenes. She might have been good in other soap roles, but she LACKS the necessary confidence to play Victoria Newman, she just isn't consistent and doesn't give her all to her work. The writing for the character is bad yes, but Amelia does NOTHING to turn the crap writing into gold, as many other actors on this show and other shows have done with crap writing.

Okay Mary Jane fans...here are the scenes where her divorce from Jack are finalized. I think I have some more scenes with her, but I'll have to look. There's so little Patty online which is a shame.

Patty and Jack Divorce Part One

If you look in my videos you will find part two and three.

Thanks for posting Chris B! :)

I want Jeff gone...not Gloria. I agree, though, that he may be sort of "CBS-imposed"...retained because he is a good actor, and to keep the network happy.

Noah should stay and get a real story. Eden should go and Abby should be recast.

The Scoobies...I like 'em, but I also am getting tired of "capers". I'm hopeful we'll move beyond capers. I'm hoping Amber comes face to face with the son she left behind, and has to deal with being a mom to an incorrigible young man (Noah's age is what I'd make him). I'd like Little Eric/Deacon to be the romantic interest for a recast Abby.

I love Jana, but I want the brain tumor to take her...so that Kevin can be free.

The lack of "ummpphh" is the same problem with Mac (character never had any) and Lily (character never developed any). But Victoria MUST have "ummpphh"...she is a NEWMAN, and most like Victor.

I'd send Vikki/JT to Italy (save some $$), rest the character, and bring back HT as Viki when the B&B contract is done.

Awesome video. I'd love to see that full episode (even though bits of it are online).

How long after this did Patty actually leave town? I'd LOVE to see her final episode, so I can get a better handle on the tone with which she left.

That would be interesting to see, but even if she left at peace with Jack I still wouldn't find her coming back pissed and obsessed unrealistic. Just because you think you've put a traumatic situation or grudge behind you, that doesn't mean it can't come back full force. Especially, if life disappoints you down the road or you are the type of person who blames other people for the state your life is in. The Patty's of the world are never really in control of their lives and that's why they never really get over the bad stuff (Sheila is like this and old school Phyllis to a lesser degree).

I'm sorry, but why the hell is Gloria needed on this show? They obviously HAVE NO IDEA what to do with her, and if her role is simply comedic relief, then that's a waste of time and money. If they must "pare down" then Gloria is one of those characters that can and should be written out. She brings nothing to the show and they seemingly don't know what to do with her, hence lumping her and Jeffrey into this Jill storyline, which is played for laughs anyway.

I'm tired of the directionless and filler characters on this show, especially when real vets are being let go or asked to take paycuts.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      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?

      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.

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