Is Vanessa really gone though?....I know she probably really did quit (unless she changes her mind), but I wonder if that's it for her on this show...

Lindsay is beautiful, but I was sort of turned off on how she was allowing herself to be filmed with Jason making out topless in the hot tub.....I know it's not the worst they can show, but it's still taking it a bit far IMO.....I guess that whole thing was scripted.....if not...... Lindsay was giving me some Theresa vibes for sure....

Hunter comes off so fake...again it's probably scripted, but she is just too OTT when she gets all emotional.....the changing her name thing with her jerk husband was exactly like a real soap scene (which was probably the point, haha)

I can't believe that it's Lindsay of all people that makes the surgery comment about Hunter....I though for sure it was Vanessa...

Um, hello.

They all signed contracts. Unless Vanessa can afford to pay a fine for breaking it, she will be back.

Hunter vs Lindsay…boring…Hunter made a big deal about the Tweet and then nothing….LOL

Nice to see Lorenzo Lamas but he looks old….

And David Tom….why do the actresses act like they don't know him….

And why are the ladies trying to get Vanessa back on the project? She isn't needed IMO….

Hunter, Donna, Christee and Crystal are right about Lindsay trying to get Jason on the project: it's a recipe for disaster. And can we all be honest and admit that Jason's audition, in comparison to Lorenzo's, was dreadful and hammy. Lorenzo Lamas definitely looked older - but he's 57, he IS older and looked age appropriate and not desperate, which is not how he always looks! Fun to see him pop up on the show with Donna, it always seems like CBS in the 80s was a very happy place to be.

Hunter v Lindsay and the plastic surgery retweet...a non event. Interesting that Hunter said she didn't want to do daytime again because of the drama queens. Hmmm.

Vanessa seems like a very sensitive, overtly sensitive I'd say, girl who doesn't seem to understand how she is diminishing in value for the entertainment business, despite how gorgeous she still looks. I wonder if Vanessa is living well off those 'Las Vegas' royalties?

Well, Vanessa, like many former soap stars, is in some Hallmark movie. Not sure if it's new or old but there's that ... lol

Because she never truly quit! She has a signed contract, that's why I find it so ridiculous when stars just walk out.

I thought Vanessa signed a contract to be on the reality show, not to be acting on the scripted project they were working on together. So of course, she didn't quit the reality show.

LMAO at how shady Hunter was being when it came to the wardrobe. OMG at her dramatic fall claiming to dislocating her elbow and hip. WTF?!?

ETA:

So they really trying to say that was real? I just assumed that mess was fake and I beleive it. They were taping her yet they dont show her actual fall? Hunter's a very private person? Since when? She puts all her business out there.

Omg I hope she's ok

of course she is. The show is beyond fake

I keep waiting for a really meta twist to be thrown in that what we're watching is actually the show idea that made it to series...

Does anyone think this show will get the ladies outside opportunities like Hollywood Divas did for those ladies?

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.
