DAYS: Behind the Scenes, Articles/Photos

[janea4old]

Rachel Boyd posted that on her own Instagram stories feed.  The DaysPeacock show IG account often copy/pastes actor ig story posts onto its show ig account --- but it doesn't necessarily mean anything.  I think the show's social media account person just randomly reposts stuff from actors' posts, if the account person thinks it's fun or whatever.  

As to why Rachel posted that on her own account, I don't know.

Hey, guys! I finally got around to buy Bill & Susan Hayes's autobiography from Amazon, and it was cheap as hell. I haven't had the chance to read it yet because this next upcoming week is going to be very, very busy since it's not only my daddy's birthday but it's also my brother-in-law's birthday and also my niece is getting married next weekend too. Who knows... I might end up posting about any interesting tidbits I find in that book. One of the main reasons why I bought the book is because I'm planning to do a video on Brenda Benet soon and I wanted to do some research first.

The Tammy Bruce connection has always interested me because she was a liberal political talking head on talk radio in Los Angeles for years.  She also worked as a PA for Gloria Loring.  Then, she went through a political conversion, and now is Trump's spokesperson for the State Department. 

But, I don't recall if Tammy Bruce (who was 19 or 20 when Brenda died) ever discussed Brenda Benet in later interviews.  Most articles seem to mention her ex Bill Bixby, who was much more well known.  But, I would jump into a deep dive on that duo.  Importantly, I want to know if Tammy Bruce still watches Days of our Lives at the State Department.

Early March 2001 Episodes -

Philip/Chloe 

I wanna get into this couple but I find them boring. I can appreciate the build up the writers are putting in to build their romance but I just don’t feel the chemistry with them. I like both characters separately just not together. I’m looking forward to the Brady/Chloe romance to start to be honest. I see more chemistry there. This is still a good set up though for future storyline if they plan to make Philip the villain who comes between Brady and Chloe in the future. 
 

Sami/Brandon

Boy does Brandon look hot as sh*t in only a towel. You can tell he was putting in the WORK at the gym. His loyalty to Sami is quite something and if I were Sami I would drop Austin like a hot potato and just go with this guy. Of course, we know a guy like Brandon wouldn’t really look at Sami twice in the real world except for maybe a one night stand. I do feel the chemistry with these too though and the actor playing Brandon is making me believe he genuinely likes her. 
 

Stefano/Lexie baby drama

They’ve introduced 2 new characters who are connected to Marlo but I’ve only seen them in one episode so far so I’m yet to find out their story. I recognize the woman (Tamara Clatterbuck) because she played Alice on Y&R. I am curious to see how this story progresses because I wanna know if Lexie actually goes to Paris to hide out with the baby for a period of time before sh*t really hits the fan and everything is exposed. I’m sure it wouldn’t be on location or anything but I do love the different sets they incorporated back then. It’s one of the main reasons it’s been so exciting to watch these old episodes. 
 

Jennifer/Jack

It’s funny to me how soaps used to act like stalking was cute back then. Jack being portrayed as this light hearted funny character while he’s literally STALKING Jennifer and she’s doing everything in her power to get away from him. I’m not actually offended or anything.. I do love them as a couple. It’s just an interesting observation I had since I know there would be no way that kind of writing would fly today. It was nice to see Jack and Jennifer pop up again though around the March 8th episode. I actually wouldn’t mind a bit more airtime for them and I hope they do become more front-burner again as I continue to watch these episodes.

In terms of DOOL hunks, Victor Webster walked so Matt Cedeño could RUN!

Victor Webster as Nicholas Alamain are my earliest memories og a man being objectified and liking it.

I've said it many times: that era of NBC Daytime helped me realize it wasn't a phase.

Philip has the makings of a classic villain.  He was born to Kate and Victor, with Vivian as his gestational host. That alone should set the character's destiny. But despite the pedigree, he’s always been a letdown in the villain department. His schemes are half-baked, and he defaults to violence far too quickly, far too often.

We often talk about sacrificing one character to elevate another, and Philip’s arc is a textbook case. His potential was sidelined the moment Brady returned. Brady started out so obnoxious, they had to dial up Philip’s brattiness just to make nu-Brady palatable. And yet, Brady 1.0 went from tying his sister to train tracks to crooning Rodgers and Hammerstein with Chloe. Philip, by contrast, was never the audience’s first pick—and he’s never truly bounced back.

Good instinct.  IIRC, there was a lot of burgundy damask drapery being used to suggest France.

Okay I definitely did not know that she was also Gloria Loring's PA until recently. That actually got me thinking. She did write a book many, many years ago where she did mention her relationship with Brenda Benet. Somebody actually told me that she claims that Brenda supposedly coerced her into a relationship. I don't know if that's actually true, and I would be loathe to believe anything Tammy Bruce says, especially since she's basically a die hard Republican at this point. I know that Tammy and Brenda broke up a couple of weeks before Brenda committed suicide. The strange thing is though that I actually went through my Macbook the other day and I found an article that I've saved where Lou Ferrigno claims that Brenda and Bill Bixby were actually trying to reconcile right before she died, so I have no idea what the hell is even going on. 

And I highly doubt that Tammy watches Days much these days anyway; she probably thinks it's too "woke" or something.

TBH, it shocks me to know that Tammy Bruce has a kinda-sorta connection to soaps or soap stars.  Then again, I'm still reeling from the idea that Cheryl [!@#$%^&*] Hines is married to RFK Jr.
