By the way, Ken Corday made his own list of the most important men & women in Days history in his recent book. He seems to conflate the actor and character, and the list is obviously weighted to current-day stars and Friends of Ken (I'm looking at you, Josh Taylor):

Women:

1. Frances Reid

2. Susan Seaforth Hayes

3. Suzanne Rogers

4. Peggy McCay

5. Kristian Alfonso

6. Mary Beth Evans

7. Deidre Hall

8. Renee Jones

9. Alison Sweeney

Men:

1. MacDonald Carey

2. Bill Hayes

3. Josh Taylor

4. James Reynolds

5. Peter Reckell

6. Stephen Nichols

7. Drake Hogestyn

I like James Reynolds, but he should NOT be higher than Reckell & Nichols. Ditto Mary Beth Evans > Deidre Hall. And RENEE JONES is in Ken's top 10? :lol:

Where are Joe Mascolo, Susan Flannery, and Melissa Reeves on this list?

And where in the f*ck is original cast member John Clarke?

Josh Taylor :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

With actresses like Marie Masters & Melissa Reeves & Patricia Elliot & Sharon Case in the business and barely anyone noticing they're there, I have to most impolitely disagree.

I'd even go so far as to say as Renee Jones is the most overrated actress in all of soap message board land.

She is the most underrated on DAYS, but I wouldn't consider her the most underrated/underappreciated in ALL of daytime.

She is a DiMera, who's husband is a politician. This woman should be driving major story on the show. Damn shame.

    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
    • I didn't think this was very good (I've never yet seen a good episode of this revival), but you do get a lot of Michael Stroka. And if you are a Donna Reed Show fan, you also get Paul Petersen.
