LMAO Gigi called Jack a sociopath. So true.

Rex's hair is out of control.

Dammit Shane, don't be so gullible. UGH JACK, DIE.

Don't worry....he's about to find out what's really going on...

Yeah well, I think it will be a little too late for someone in the story

John and Natalie had some nice scenes today, not OTT or obnoxious.

OMG, SHANE WIN! LMAO!

I like Brad, he's a good actor and so convincing as a douche.

Good, cuz when they said Phase II I feared Shane would be snapping pics of his Weiner.

Hey, that kid stole Cole's mouth cheese!

Shane sounds hilarious, like those old, "Cuz I'm drinking milk!" commercials.

"I'm Blair Cramer." Annnnd just what does that even mean exactly? :unsure: Blair, don't pretend like you're strong, you should have started up with that mantra circa 1995.

Rex and his talk of expiration dates while eating ice cream...

Pleased with the renewed focus on Hope.

Rex was eating a quart of ice cream (as annoyingly as possible, natch) and telling Gigi how the world should know that their love has no expiration date (insert ominous promos). It was an interesting word choice whilst consuming a dairy product.

I'm gonna need more Dorian, Viki, Bo and Clint and less...everyone else

I know some of the stories suck, but the show still has 7 months left. They shoukdnt have just drop stories just because the show has been canceled. I am sure all the unnecessary people will be dropped by the fall.

Oh, gotcha. Dammit Rigi! SO DEAD.

See, I wouldn't consider Dorian, Marty, Kelly or Joey "unnecessary." Cutter, Deanna, and the Fords? You bet your butt. I'm worried about where this show is going from here, not gonna lie.

Considering all of the stories seem to be completely padded and made up as they go along, it wouldn't be that hard to drop them.

I also don't think OLTL's idea of unnecessary matches ours.

Does Kristen Alderson check herself in the mirror ever? Her eyebrows are going to meet up over her nose soon for a siesta

My mom and I were just watching the show together and she said that James looked like he was going cross eyed from staring at that unibrow for so long. :lol:

DAYS: December 2025 Discussion Thread

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.

LOL!!
In the past, I've speculated that Empire Valley was supposed to be a story about phony real estate developers bilking people, before it got changed into what made it on air.
I would LOVE for someone to interview Peter Dunne - not just about Empire Valley, but about his time on KL (and DALLAS) in general. I feel like he would have a ton of great writing advice to share.

in total agreement! over the years, i’ve written thousands of words going into all the gory details — particularly regarding ‘as the world turns.’
always wished i could have asked him about the ‘i hate soap opera’ comments. was he being funny, sarcastic, ironic? would have loved to heard the specifics of what he — and gloria monty — hated. and what did he think about the impact on the soap genre.
