The Liam and Steffy half hour bonanza!

 

Nothing but Liam and Steffy

 

The only soap opera on air that has 1 storyline!

 

How Exciting!

 

OMG- Brad Retire from writing, hire some new writer, and get some stories going.  

 

This is the first time I have ever thought of taking B&B off my DVR.

I've been complaining about Liam for a long time now. He was finally shelved only for Brad to bring in Sheila and other nonsense stories. Bradley Bell is not his father's son where great writing is concerned. He sucks...

I'm counting the days for several weeks /months? now: hoping that June 15 will be the turning point. This upcoming week seems to be the moment where all those actors who were rejected to glorious extras for several months are back with an actual storyline. Hopefully decent to good and lasting ones...

Emma annoys the hell out of me.  I didn't even realize she's been on contract for a while now.  I was hoping she'd just disappear once Forrester Creations moved on to a new fashion line, but now it looks like they're involving her in a "summer teen story."  They're probably recycle RJ's story from last year.

The fashion show stuff with Hope was SO BAD, especially her “dancing” and suggestions for improving the runway show.

 

And then the insta-romance with Zende replacement Xander was even worse. NONE of these characters were introduced properly...or at all. 

 

In addition, Katie’s insta-breakup with Wyatt was cringeworthy. These are execs and writers with ZERO respect for the audience. They just don’t care about us.

She sounds like she has something in her mouth or her tongue is in the way.

 

Those scenes with her "dancing" were just HORRIBLE.  WTF????  And to have Emma criticize the models for being too stiff ... Lawd!

 

I'd rather watch the oddly incestous brother/sister vibe of RJ and Sally's sister in another PSA story than this mess.  At least those actors had a bit of charm to them.

 

This can't be real, this has to be some Brad Bell plot to get us begging for more Liam/Steffy, right?

I was glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Avant yesterday. It looks like yesterday was the start of some new storylines, (Xander arriving in town, Thorne/Katie.) I hope these and other storylines get focused on for a bit and we get a break from Steffy and Liam. They can reunite with baby Kelly and go to the backburner. I am glad they weren't on yesterday.

 

Julius already seems suspicious of Xander. I wonder what secret Xander may be hiding and why does he really want to pretend to be from America. Julius also didn't speak too kindly of his brother and I wonder if he will show up some time during this storyline. I also think that Xander looks like Maya, they do look like family.

 

Also, Wyatt and Katie did end abruptly but I am glad they addressed how awkward it was for her to be dating her young son's brother. I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Thorne and Katie, now that Wyatt and her have broken up.

I started watching B&B a bit again last week since I don't know how long and I like that they use the classic opening tune again.

 

The Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle is back and as dreary as that one is I still think there's so much potential with them that never fully materialized. It just never really quite works, does it? But at the same time it will always intrigue me. I must admit I do miss Kim Matula now that Hope is back.

 

And sorry but nuThorne looks awful. Why not just use the other actor. I hope this one will be off the canvas soon but I've been hoping that with Thorsten Kaye too and he's still there 4.5 years later.

 

That part where Emma knocked Xander out was really awkward and corny.

    • 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. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
