Why are they acting like Shaun is an angel when it comes to his brother, the doctor? Shaun worked for Vincent Jones in the gangster world in Atlantic City and he has a problem with his brother, why?

I am also liking Kyle even more every day and his interaction with Natalie and Jared was fantastic although I swear when Jared leaned in I nearly thought he was going to kiss him. I don't know why but it just seemed like it was going to happen <blush>

Shawn is being super annoying. What a hater, busting up Greg's date

Rex says Gigi cant have Stacy arrested for blackmail bc they made a deal, breaking up with Rex for Shane's life. Um isnt that what blackmail is? One person uses duress to force someone into giving something up in exchange for not suffering some type of loss, in this case Shane's life?

She's horrible. The worst teen actress Ive seen cast in a long time. Very cringeworthy. Doesnt help that the writing for her is a mess. They try way to hard to make her cool and hip and she just ends up looking ridiculous

Since I started watching OLTL again I find that Todd and Tea are the most tedious part of the show for me. I include John, Marty, Star, Cole and Blair (by association) as well. Definitely the weakest part of the show for me.

Tea can be fun on her own. When she's with Todd, nonstop shrieking and crying and Todd either ignoring her or boning her. They also like to keep up the pretense that she actually cares about his children, which is strange, since she's repeatedly hurt them, especially Starr, without much thought or care.

I'm trying to remember what they were like the last time with Roger in the role. Probably the same, minus the boning.

Agreed, but did anyone get annoyed that Blair's song and the "secondary" couples (Brody/Jess, Jared/Natalie, Todd/Tea, Cris/Layla, even Kyle/Fish) were used to build up to the "primary" couple Rex and Gigi and how it's so sad they're not together? That made me vomit a little. I enjoy most of the couples more than them.

Cristian and Layla are always the highlight of my day. :) PS I loved Blair interacting with Cristian again! That was great. It was fun seeing her out of the Todd/Tea thing.

Love in the afternoon can cover a multitude of sins! I am so indifferent to Todd and Tea but I found myself intrigued by them. I have no idea where they are planning to go with them but I bought them yesterday. I thought Shaun was a jerk for running off Greg's date but I love both Shawn and Greg so far. Jared and Natalie had the nicest moment of the montage when he was chasing her. It's so refreshing to see a young, married couple who are happy on a soap.

I can't believe Rex was so horrible to Gigi yesterday. He should have been honest with her. That was disturbing.

Love them too and they have some angst going on there. It's always nice to see Blair and Cristian scenes. I'm glad they allowed Blair to have a life outside of Todd, Tea, and Sole for a change.

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • 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.
