I hope the Morasco Fiasco is coming to an end. It is sucking this show dry, IMO. I'll though I do like the chemistry between Gigi and Schy, I can't stand Stacy. Crystal Hunt may have been good on Guiding Light but she continues to call in her scenes on OLTL. I also wonder if the damage done to Rex's character could ever be repaired. Has this storyline done more damage than can be fixed. To me Rex is just an idiot now. I don't think I could ever take him seriously again. Considering he is a P.I. as well, it ruins any future storyline plot points if he is used in that capacity because he couldn't work his way out of a paper bag now. The biggest problem for me is that I've stopped caring for the character of Rex. We have all seen characters we like in stupid storylines before but this is the first time that storyline has killed the character for me. If OLTL wants to be daring in its story telling then have Rex find out and kill Stacy. Let the viewers know but let the rest of Llanview try to figure it out. Like a backwards who done it where the viewers know but the characters don't. Have Bo figure it out and have him arrest his surrogate son and give Bob Woods something of substance to play and if he figures it out quick enough, restore some luster to the LPD.

OMG, Dorian, the scenery is aching with bite marks. :lol: She is on some crazy shiz today, and what was that little pill she popped? I love how she pushed her liberal beliefs on the Riveras. :P I was beginning to worry about her with Ray gone and all, but knock on wood, if today's any indication I feel like they are gearing her up for something good. I HOPE.

And again today she dismissed Rachel like a stranger.

ETA: And if Blair's lawyer doesn't look like Alicia Minshew's stunt double...

I don't think she was any better on GL. The writing for her on GL had more built-in layers since Lizzie had always been disturbed, and the story had plenty of great actors to carry Crystal. This story has none of that.

Rex has been a self-righteous idiot ever since they started this story with Gigi. As soon as they put him back together with Gigi they are just going to pretend everything was fine, and it was all Stacy's fault. None of this works for me because JPL and FF have zero chemistry and when they're together they make both characters detestable. The most character-damaging moments for Rex in my eyes were when he kept bitching about Dorian not giving him a video game system for Shane.

I still wish they weren't going to have Dorian go nuts over losing a man. Robin Strasser must be humiliated, but then she probably knows she isn't going to have another story, she just has to roll with the punches.

Some think her not knowing Rachel is a joke about the recast, but this is the third time Rachel has been recast.

Not feeling over the top drunk Dorian at all. She came across like a shrill, confused old lady.

On a side note: I really wanted to punch Markko's parents. There comes a point when you can only let mom and dad oppress you so much before you say "f*ck it, I'm out."

Poor Marcie!! Having to give away Hope was like that was so noble, very Marcie like.

Dorian went NUTS today! Ruining things for Markko/Langston, firing Sean, kicking out Moe/Noelle... How dare Ray break her heart!

I also wonder how Cole will get out of trouble after the cop caught him with the pills..

Solid episode for OLTL.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.

      I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis.

      When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!

      In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.

      I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway.

      @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.

      I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available.

      -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
