I kind of wish Donna's hot daughter was in this. She doesn't live in L.A. though. It would be interesting watching her in her mom's corner against these starlets.

I'm totally with Donna that their ideas were unoriginal and played out. But I don't think Donna's ideas will be exactly revelatory.


Every time Vanessa laughs, I think of that pic R. Sinclair made.

Crystal and Lindsey's little battles looks so forced …LOL

Are all these ladies so dumb that they didn't know Joan Collins was on GL? When they worked in the business at the same time….LOL

Loved seeing Joan Collins and ending it with her….Ha

So Hunter found her new husband online too…..her new husband looks creepy as hell…LOL….he is such a downgrade from Michael Tylo

A Winsor Harmon sighting...

Here's the first episode (Well, okay, it's an hour long double episode. Same difference.):

Not sure if any eps after that will be posted there, though.

I forgot the next episode was on tonight. I wanted to see Dame Joan! sad.png Maybe Pop will post each episode online after it airs, like it did the first one.

Joan met with Donna and told her that she had received a phone call from Crystal. Joan and Donna are good friends. Donna told Joan what was going on and they decided to teach the ladies a lesson. Joan popped up later at the end as the cliffhanger…classic Joan….LOL..she walked into the meeting Donna had set up with the ladies to set a trap …..in the previews Crystal gets caught red handed and denies calling Joan…LOL

This show is a scripted mess and it's hilarious:

My favourite parts of the first/second episode:

- The girls supposedly randomly meeting at a "networking" event to discuss the god-damn concept of this show!

- Vanessa Marcil meeting Donna Mills at a costume fitting, just so that there's an excuse for her to be dressed up in the nines

- The messiness of their ideas for a show, "I like Golden Girls!"

- The weirdness of Donna randomly bringing in Hunter Tylo - why?

- Donna's stilted acting

- Donna meeting with the CW to discuss a show that doesn't even have a concept. Or visiting the CW at all to pitch a show about people in their 30s-50s when you're lucky to have a job on a CW show past 30.

Lucking forward to the third episode now! It's up on the PopTv.com website but it won't load for me. :(

This episode was delicious...when you put Dame Joan and Donna together it's soap opera magic.

There's Donna, in a Mark Zunino skirt suit that's got day glow flowers all over it, on the patio at Riva Bella, waiting for her lunch companion, only for Dame Joan to arrive, also in a Mark Zunino skirt suit but in black and white with the flowers on the lapel, striding in to the most glorious Petshop Boys style synthesizer music announcing that she's just gotten back from London as the soft, natural light makes their respective faces look glorious...it was all too much. I watched that entrance a dozen times.

And then they drink wine and gossip. It does help that Dame Joan and Donna are friends IRL, so the banter is naturalesque.

Crystal continues to be the blunt bitch of the show...but then Lindsay comes across as an idiot getting pissed about Crystal wearing an old Sue Wong dress.

Chrystee and those butterfly bows in her hair. Anyone else notice she has one in at all times?

Vanessa is so neurotic, I'd have a tricky time working with her, that kind of indecisiveness is so irritating to me.

Next week holds promise for Hunter having the messiest life of all...is that husband of hers for real? Why shouldn't she feel attached to her children, especially given that she's lost one?!

The ending of the episode was great with the music swelling as Dame Joan burst into that boardroom in matching black and white suit and hat, throwing out "Don't look so surprised!" to a stunned Crystal.

    • Per Flixpatrol, it's been at 4-4-5 (June 3rd to 5th).   https://flixpatrol.com/title/days-of-our-lives/
    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
    • Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:

    • GH on Hulu, their Top 15 list, now for the second consecutive day ... #1.
    • From PKWaddle, ex-soap journo & fan & one known only to give good intel, in a post on my FB soap group: #1 Peacock shows 10 of the past 12 weeks DAYS in their TOP 3. #2 DAYS is now more ahead, currently at 10 months & 1 week.
    • Just a little nod, Today would've been Bill Hayes 100th Birthday! He was almost the first Centenarian On A Soap
    • Kevin Kline's description of soap fans makes me laugh.

    • Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.
    • Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.
