CLB should have gone recurring long ago.

MM and Eric Braeden are excellent scene partners. MM has easily become my favorite actress on the show and honestly I mainly only watch for Hilary and the Abbotts.

The Sharon rehab has been great but I do need to see her do a little more.

Since Ms LeBlanc is getting so ballsy they should reboot that cancer story and make it lethal this time.

Seems like they are about to use Hilary/GC Buzz to get the Newman storyline some juice. Braeden was very complimentary of Mishael Morgan during his book press tour so I'm not surprised they found a way to get her in that orbit.

I don't get the way they've written the Juliet and Hilary's relationship. All of this sudden antagonism was not needed and ruined what could be a great friendship

Cane is trash for trying to back out of the baby's life. Those last scenes with Lily telling him he couldn't abandon his child were probably the best acting work CK & DG have done the entire story

Gina Tognoni is being so wasted but that backside was looking delectable in the bathing suit

Abby is my favorite Newman child now .I loved her going in on Vicki and Nick remains an annoying bum piece of garbage

I'm torn. For me CLB has become part of the shows fabric. At the same time he must be expensive and he really doesn't do a whole lot on the show. Maybe it really is time to let go of the Fisher/Baldwins all together. I'd miss Gloria more than Michael.

Understandable; however, I don't see CLB/Michael being the fabric of the show. I always thought it was foul to make him so righteous given his heinous past. Had be been written more like Jack (DAYS) or Roger (GL), who constantly felt grief for their actions, I'd might accept him more. Same with Kevin too.

I just feel like the Fisher/Baldwin clan needs to go, and Lauren needs to be set free. Leslie needs to emerge as the primary legal beagle character on this show.

^ Those scenes of him tunneling through the walls to get to Chris, Lord have mercy . I'll never forget that and I don't believe people change that much unless mental illness or drugs were involved. They did have him expressing remorse pretty frequently when he was dating Chris if not so much in recent years. I won't miss Kevin and in the end Michael (and obviously Gloria) is expendable too.

Michael was great up until they made Kevin his brother. Then he became a massively hypocritical prissy bore.

I'm all for Michael and the Baldwin's to leave....then Lauren can find her way back to Paul

Allowing them to fulfill their Hart To Hart destiny. Which would allow Cricket to reunite with Danny.

I wouldn't mind either to be honest. I wish Sally would pluck Chase out from wherever he disappeared from all those years ago and have him finally wed Nina too.

I liked Chase but he always came off gay to me. Too bad he wasn't interested in Phillip. Of course Phillip ...I am gay bullshit didn't happen till after he left...or came back...or whatever...LOL

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

Not that there wouldn't have been opportunities! For instance, they could've hired George Takei (there's your ST person) as one of Chao-Li's relatives, who was also after the Nazi treasure. Or they could've hired Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (a.k.a. C3PO and R2D2) as another team out for the gold (and comic relief for the storyline). Heck, they could've even hired none other "Blofeld" himself, Donald Pleasance, as a sworn enemy of Gustav and his father's, who will stop at nothing, including romancing poor Emma, to keep Riebmann from reclaiming the treasure.

I agree. Especially because it happened so damn quickly, with absolutely no breathing room for him, for Cathy, for all of us.
David Jacobs insisted that was the plan all along, but I doubt it. I think they had every intention of keeping Joshua around for years to come, but Michael Filerman and his ego ruined everything.
I'd still love for someone who was there to explain to us what the original intention was for Empire Valley; was it ALWAYS meant to be revealed as an underground spy network? Because, even if that wasn't how it started, it still feels as if they were leading up to something big. Otherwise, why invest so much time in another real estate development scheme? We'd already been there and done that with Lotus Point.

I feel like Days was always going to run into this problem regardless of writing. Days has done a horrible job establishing the next generation of leads. It has relied on Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Kayla, Steve, etc., etc. for far too long. We end up at this point where most of the characters that get significant airtime are boring.
It seems to me the writing team is just too afraid to entirely revamp the show and are doing the bare minimum and coasting along with mediocre material. Because at least it's not as bad and offensive as Ron, right? Let's not rock the boat too much.

OMG I agree! I can't put my finger on it but there's something morbid about it. Same thing for gambling.
Big agree.
Honestly it's been campy from the get-go. If one enjoys it, they should make peace with the fact it's pure camp.
Kat's hat was giving Lindsey McKeon's Marah (GL) vibes when SATC's stylist Patricia Field joined the show.

Madison is such an underdeveloped character - she can be a genius doctor and then a teenager - and the whole relationship with Chelsea is treated as an afterthought. This show has too many characters and too few (talented) writers.
Extra comments:
Greg Vaughn is a pro and a stud, however I don't see where the story is with him and Nicole. There's no stakes, no tension. Mark my words: they will tease a big secret with Kial in the next few months, that's all they can do story-wise.
Speaking of love stories: how grand can these love stories be if the most exciting thing these couples can do is bounce between cafes and book a hotel room? If I see that hotel room one more time, I'll scream. They have a huge problem with sets.
I have liked Vanessa so far but I don't understand what they want to do with her.
While WF was a bust, I'm enjoying the new writing and I'm loving the direction lately. They're experimenting a lot - and succeeding.
Loving Leslie & Marcel.
I literally have no idea what's next for Ashley and Derek. Not that I'm worried at all, but they've been written into a corner. They were isolated before, they're even more isolated now.
I don't see any chemistry between Shanice & Ted. In fact, I don't see any chemistry between Keith's Ted and ANYONE.

I didn't remember her still being in Salem as late as 1979. But I agree, I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

If you can ever visit the Paley Center for TV in NYC, they have a number of 1976 Days eps available in the viewing library, including Amanda during her cancer story

By yrfan1983 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Yeah.
Amanda got pregnant, and (I think) she wasn’t sure if Chris or Greg was the father. But the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic and she had to terminate it. And it sounds like, after that, she decided to just make a go of her marriage to Greg and left Salem with him.
Which was too bad because from what I’ve read, Greg sounds like a real douche 😂😂😂
I wish more of this time period was available to see

Excellent posts @cody_1990 !
There have been a lot of boring couples lately. And a little too much Dimera. I think that all the ingredients are there for a good show, but Paula/Jeanne just need to use them more effectively. And yeah, a few characters do need to be sent packing lol
I’m surprised that they haven’t actually gone over budget, with the amount of characters we’ve seen on screen lately lol
Not yet. This isn’t Ron Carlivati’s show anymore 😂😂😂😂
As for techniques, maybe playing a character as smug or arrogant was one of them.

Have we seen Theo's abs? Otherwise, I'm not sure what acting "technique" they're talking about here... drink less water if shirtless scenes?

What are you currently reading?

Ripley Under Ground unraveled in the last one third. Absolute mess. I enjoyed the first 200 pages, but then it absolutely went off the rails. I can't give it more 5/10 for this reason. Shame.
I will still try the third book in this series.
