Members Faulkner Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 DAYS is really the only soap that features male actors in their 20s. The others have all but given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 Why don't they feature actors in their 20s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 12, 2017 Members Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm not sure, but there's been a steady decline in the number of younger actors on soaps in the past decade or so. (Look at how embarrassing the younger actor Emmy nominees are each year, even compared to the other diminished categories.) Maybe it's because of budget and declines in the younger demos. I'd guess a lot of it is because so many soaps have been cancelled, and the few remaining shows started poaching established soap hunks, leaving little room/budget for newbies? Again, that's a wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted October 13, 2017 Members Share Posted October 13, 2017 On one hand I'm kind of tired of the Bonnie stuff, but I'm loving her awkward interactions with everyone. "Adrienne" and Victor are hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 13, 2017 Members Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm a stan for Dee, but I think what's been off is that there's an inflection in Hattie's voice that is sometimes missing. It helps distinguish Marlena vs. FauxMarlena. Meanwhile, I think Judi Evans has been excellent at slipping back into Bonnie's shoes, even though I absolutely detested the character the first time around. I'm enjoying the Bonnie/Adrienne doppelganger story, even though it's a total rewrite that Bonnie is an exact replica of Adrienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I didn't get to see it. A Trump news conference ate up the last segment. I was really looking forward to Queen Sami's return. Going to try to catch Sami's return on Youtube or Dailymotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 13, 2017 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yeah, she was on the last 5 seconds of the show. She was the cliffhanger. She showed up as Paul and John were about to dig up Will's grave. The look on Paul's face when he got caught by Sami......LOL I also enjoyed the Nicole/Brady scenes....

Members KMan101 Posted October 13, 2017 Members Share Posted October 13, 2017 Today's show was pretty good. Brady is definitely Victor's grandson. Lawd he's taken a turn and I LOVE it. He was ugly. Meanwhile, talking about ugly, lawd what WAS that on Nicole's head? Love anytime Eric and Marlena have scenes. Also enjoyed Paul and John. The JJ/Abby/Thomas scenes were sweet and interesting they threw in about JJ having kids Please register in order to view this content and Hope not wanting to regret letting JJ come back. The anvils were dropping today. Solid episode. I was SO ready for Alison Sweeney and Sami to be off my screen by the time she left but I have to admit I'm excited for her return. And it helps it's just a couple of months. Loved Sami catching John and Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranger1rg Posted October 14, 2017 Members Share Posted October 14, 2017 For me, the beginning of the end of Nicole was when she started wearing those things on her head, as well as when she started making faces like someone farted right in her face.

Members RavenWhitney Posted October 14, 2017 Members Share Posted October 14, 2017 Great week of episodes. Kudos to Rebecca Taylor McCarty for two brilliant scripts Wed/Thurs. She made palatable the discussions among Roman/Marlena/Kate/John about all the times Rolf did crazy crap like create aliens! Brady finally doing to Nicole what should have been done a long time ago. She's a slutty train wreck and deserves neither Eric or Brady. Love the actress, hate the new "Walk Like An Egyptian" hairdo but Nicole's character needs a multi year absence from Salem. Carlivati has handled it expertly so far. Deidre's water works get me every time. Crying over gay Will and Kate touching her cheek. Love it. Judy Evans bringing it home and John Anniston is such a master class actor. His Bonnie scenes should be submitted for Emmy. I hope he's around a long time. What a gem. But why is Sal Stowers still on the show? And most of Friday, Hope was in sleeveless dress then in one scene with JJ she's put the sweater on. LOL. Bad outfit choice Commish. And what's with letting hot JJ go for his violent policy brutality? Tsk Tsk Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adamski Posted October 15, 2017 Members Share Posted October 15, 2017 I absolutely love any scenes where it's just Victor and Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted October 15, 2017 Members Share Posted October 15, 2017 I agree that the past week had solid eps. Nothing too exciting but the dialogue was great and the interactions of characters (Kate,Roman ,Marlena, and John, Chloe and Julie, Abby and JJ Friday) were great. I hope with Sami's return things pick up the pace a bit next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
