I just finished watching Days. Positives: I thought the toast that the best man gave was good. I also thought that the guy who was talking to Abe (I forgot his name I think it's John) seemed like a pretty good actor.

Negatives: The impotent storyline seems to have poor execution. I though that Lexi slapping that dude was over the top and Abe seeing the moving van was over the top. I thought that the guy who was talking to Marlena was an okay actor until I saw that flashback where he was threatening John. I like the Marlena lady but even her acting was over the top when she was talking to John. To be honest though I think it was more the dialogue than the acting.

Overall if they toned down the over acting and improved the dialogue the show would be more interesting to me. Some of the storyline concepts seem okay but it's the execution that I don't really like. I am going to watch next week though.

Who cares if it's more popular online...it's not more popular overall.

PJA, I watched the same episode and thought it was the best non-Bo/Hope focused episode in ages. Kyle Brandt was, dare I say it, good?? It's obviously not your cup of tea, as it were. Maybe it used to be or whatever, but that's how the world works. It's a television show. Don't watch it for torture. That's why I stopped watching GH *ducks*

Keith, PJA doesn't even watch the show regularly - never has watched it regular. That is why I got so mad. He/she came on here bashing the show calling it a comedy and admitted he/she had only watched a few episodes. I bash AMC right now and am upset about it, but my decision is based on 30 plus years of viewing - not on a few episodes.

DAYS has always been probably the most popular soap online and back in the mid 90's even though it wasn't beating Y&R..... I have no doubt it was the most popular soap across North America..... everyone I knew if they were watching soaps, most were watching DAYS.... even non-soap watchers were talking about Marlena's possession... I just have never been able to get into the show.... I always credit it too that I am an AMC lifer and DAYS just happens to air opposite AMC..

    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
