I look forward to see what he writes for Marlena

 Maybe she's the one who gets DID? Or maybe the Devil makes a come back. 

This is both hilarious and sad as our current administration in the white house. The only positive is Sheri Anderson as consultant.

Wow, great news. While Ron certainly was burning out near the end of his GH run and deserved the boot, overall I've enjoyed most of Ron's work and think his writing style is a perfect fit for DAYS. The worst his having to wait 6 months for his material to air. It'll be interesting to see how Ron is without Frank as his EP.

I'm thrilled. Carlivati's OLTL was the last time I actually enjoyed a soap for an extended period rather than just an episode or two. I didn't like everything he did, but I was pretty consistently entertained. Hopefully, Shari is there to rein in his more extreme impulses and ground the story in a little more history and romance. 

 

I just wish we didn't have to endure another six months of blah from Higley.

To be honest I quit watching Days in late 2011 after twenty years during the Poulter/Thomas regime because the "reboot" I felt horrendously was doing a lot of unnecessary damage i.e. Sami sleeping with E.J. and then E.J. possibly not being a DiMera was way too much. There was some good moments I tuned in for in 2012/2013 sorely for Eileen Davidson's Kristen, I tuned to watch E.J. and Sami's exits in 2014, and I tried to watch Days' 50th anniversary and serial killer story but nothing has ever brought me back to the show at all. E.J. and Sami shacking up back in November 2011 was disgusting enough to make me quit watching regularly , but Chase's rape of Ciara was enough for me to sever any sentimental ties to this show. 

 

I wish the best of luck to this show. I never watched OLTL but I've seen Carlivarti's name thrown around quite negatively for years. People said and I even thought myself that Hogan Sheffer would be more ideal for Days. Just look what happened back then and I am sorry to say this has be the last go around for a soap I once loved and fell out from. I was able to stomach ATWT and GL to the very end but I can't the say the same for Days unfortunately .

This is eerie as aside from the 20 years (mine wasn't quite that long) so much of it describes why I slowly quit GL and finally moved away for good (until I knew it was likely going to be canceled and I wanted to say goodbye) after the unforgiveable Ben serial killer story and Tom Pelphrey Does Yoko Ono. 

 

It's sad how we slowly lose so much of what we loved about a soap until the last things we thought they couldn't take are taken too.

I never watched Days, but I wish Mr. Carlivati well.  Love him or hate him, I don't think anyone can dispute that he is very clever.  I liked his GH tenure, it's just that the show didn't inter-connect the characters very well under him, but, now that he's been gone awhile, it has been demonstrated that all the problems were not his fault.

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
