Stupid Maggie. LOL That scene of her getting shot was horribly executed. I hope the action scenes will improved under the new regime.

Umm...no...what I saw...them as a couple if thats what you mean...no....lol I think it has to do with more of the feud between Dimeras/Kiriakis.

Thats dumb...I think I saw that part not sure. I havent gotten to see the whole episode. Hopefully I can tonight.

I think wingwalker was implying that IF they were going with a Chad/Sonny hook-up, that he/she would be on board with it because they were so good and believable in their scenes. Not that this was actually where they were going. I have to say though, that on soaps, romance is often born out of any situation. And the fact that Chad/Sonny have teamed up for their warring families who hate one another, only makes the two of them hot stuff in terms of a romantic entanglement that would be looked upon as something that their families would not accept, and ultimately want to destroy. Really good stuff if it were to happen, but there's still Will to contend with, so.................

I just didnt see anything with Chad/Sonny romance wise. I know it would be good story considering the feud. If they are going to have it they need to do a triangle with Will.

Yup, that's what I meant. If show paired them up, I could be on board and see potential. Kind of a gay "Romeo & Juliet" type story, but I don't think they will.

I would like something like that but did you see anything we Chad and Sonny on today's show? I mean sparks?? I know it was the first time they were on together but I just saw them as friends/chattiing.

I feel so sad for this Chloe character, and Nadia Bjorlin. I like both the actress and the character, and it's sad how much of a downfall she's on.

Also, I find Melanie to be okay. (Surprising since all of you kept saying she was atrocious.)

I don't know what think of Sonny's storylines yet, we'll see how everything develops later.

Much, much, much later it seems.

I don't remember Sonny and Chad meeting either. I guess this was another Higley-off-screen-special.

Loved seeing the Carrie/Austin clips today. I didn't get to see their beginning.

They are showing that on tv? I thought it was something Hulu spliced in. Ive been seeing Carrie/Austin, John/Marlena and Jack/Jennifer over the last week

I also didnt get the Chad/Sonny connection and assumed I might have missed an episode. Good to know its Higley's fault and not mine!

I continue to hate Nicole being used as a ping pong ball between Brady and EJ. Its time to bring on someone new for her

The show is really lacking in men in that age range...and actually men in general.

Its about time the show prepares for the long awaited return of Eric. Seriously, I have no idea why they are sitting on this character

Much, much, much later it seems.

How much slower can it get? Its slow already.

I mean they're bringing back Austin, and IIRC during Peck's last return wasn't there a Nicole hookup or at least some flirtation? Sadly I think they're going to keep him happy in Carrie land...A recast returning Eric would be nice...Nicole really does need somebody, and not someone that treats her like [!@#$%^&*], and only uses her for occasional sex and manipulation...I would even be interested in seeing a Quinn/Nicole scene...But once they stop this pimp nonsense with the character...

ITA with you about NB/Chloe, and I LOVE MELANIE!

If I recall correctly, Nicole wanted Austin when he was with Greta and she caused trouble for them. I wasnt watching when he was last on so I dont know if that was revisted, but I'll take your word for it. Peck's Austin was too boring for her anyway so Im glad not much materialized there.

Broadcast Networks to Air Obama Statement at 1 p.m.

ABC to cut into programming; NBC giving stations option

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/8/2011 11:48:26 AM

ABC says it will break into regular programming at 1 p.m. to provide live coverage of President Barack Obama's statement to the press, which is expected to be an effort to calm the markets and reassure American's about the economy.

NBC will go live with Brian Willams anchoring from NY with David Faber of CNBC. The network was describing its coverage of the statement as an "optional" special report, which means it will not preempt Days of Our Lives, but will instead give the stations the option of carrying the President or sticking with the soap, according to a spokesperson.

CBS will also carry the statement live with Anthony Mason anchoring out of New York (Scott Pelley is in Kenya to anchor the CBS Evening News from the famine-torn region). A CBS spokesperson said they would be preempting regular programming for the special report.
