Thanks for finding and sharing those 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2004 episodes Carl! They certainly brought back a lot of nostalgia for myself.

I always forget about Rianna, Alexis Thorpe's first big role. I also forget how much Stafford and Phyllis were so vibrant there 2000-2004. Not to mention when the creepy strange Kevin/Lauren friendship occurred I was fascinated by it as Michael desperately tried to keep secret his ties to Kevin. Easy to forget that Michael was such a vibrant character 1997-circa 2005. Those Isabella/Diane scenes were better than I remembered.

Walters certainly did have her moments especially during the custody battle and later on when Jack invited her to move back in but overall lacked Donnelley's fierceness and regal nature. Part of the problem is because by 2003 and 2004 Diane was suppose to be an antagonist to all (pool house fire mystery yet then bailing out Jabot with money she got from Victor's divorce settlement) but Walters while competent couldn't carry enough weight.

I can't watch any of the characters like Michael, or Kevin, or anyone currently on the show, except Nikki or Jill. Too much damage.

That teen scene around the time of Rianna just seemed to lack spark, for me.

Someone at TWOP wondered if they were chem testing Dru and Victor here.

An SOD preview for summer 1989 has a photo of Cricket and a photo of Chase, and says she will become closer to him, asks if she will tame the Jack Abbott in training.

How far did this story go? I thought she was with Danny by this time.

Did Chase ever have any real interaction with Jack?

It didn't & she was.

Chase like every guy on the show (at one point she had FIVE different men wanting her) was IN LOVE with Cricket.

Not really.

He had more interaction with Jill & Katherine (Jack at the time was busy with with Brad, Leanna & Lauren).

    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
