I totally forgot about that. That's just how forgettable Lani is. 

 

All this family bonding off-screen is reminiscent of Paul Rauch's Guiding Light in the late 90's when all the action apparently happened off-screen (Buzz/Jenna, David/Vicki, Matt/Vanessa, etc.) for characters they didn't really want to write for.

In a perfect world, one where soaps are progressive and DAYS is being handled by people who know what they are doing, this would lead to a re-introduction of David Banning as well.  That way, the show could restart the David/Valerie romance, in a story about former lovers, kept apart by small-town bigotry, reuniting at last.  It would be a sensitive, mature love story that would help illustrate how far we, and certainly the soaps, have come since the 1970's.

 

I'm just saying.

Now, I know for a FACT Dena been stealing my ideas! LOL

Since she's only on recurring, and none of the characters she interacted with are on much anymore except Marlena, I'm curious how they'll tie her in or keep her around.


But knowing DAYS, she'll just be a doctor in the hospital that Marlena talks to once in awhile while making eyes at Abe. I'd LOVE for them to build a family around her character, but it won't happen, I'm sure.

Khan is right that it would actually be a fantastic idea and would establish a very different kind of potential 'tentpole couple' for DAYS. Which is why DAYS will never do it.

 

AMC 2.0 knew when to roll the dice and make the Hubbards the tentpoles. That was change.

Of course, I wouldn't be opposed to Debbi Morgan being cast as nuValerie.  But...I dunno...I'd like to see whether DAYS could land an actress outside of daytime for this role.

That is so random,yet encouraging that someone has some interest into dipping into Day's history.

There have been many missed opportunities over the years where past characters could have been brought back,even for minor things.

When Abe first came on he was briefly involved with Val (Dianne Sommerfield)

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
