OMG, around 2000-2001 when John would get into his "RoboJohn" modes and start barking orders like a possessed dom top in an underground gay sex dungeon.

A lot of DAYS scenes from the late 90’s and early 00’s don’t hold up or look ridiculous in isolation.

 

Anyone remember the scene of Lexie crashing Zack’s baptism and knocking over the holy water? Hilarious as hell, wish it was still on YouTube.

Renee Jones is a force of nature.  I wish she would have stuck around.  I think Ron may have given her back her Dimera streak, and  that would be fun to watch.

Yeah, there's something about his mouth and the way he pulls his head back into his neck. It's like we're watching him chug from a water bottle without the bottle. Very strange. 

 

Speaking of random singing: On GL in 2003 during the Weston/Conboy era, Danny and Michelle spontaneously burst into song while having dinner in his restaurant. It was so bizarre (I guess it was reminiscent of Conboy's work on Y&R in the 70's? That's what onliners said). I think the song they sang was a vocal version of their instrumental theme song that was always used for them (I will say I *loved* how GL always had specific background music for particular couples, including the final scene of Josh & Reva in the last episode) 

 

 

OMG, around 2000-2001 when John would get into his "RoboJohn" modes and start barking orders like a possessed dom top in an underground gay sex dungeon. I particularly remember when he suddenly hated Maggie around this time with Brady at the restaurant and then John and Brady going all apesh&t around town before Brady was accidentally shot. 

 

I love you people! I sweat to god this place is a gift.

Am I the only one with the opinion that Brash and Cwikly were underrated at Days? 

 

I loved their run and was surprised when they were replaced.

They were replaced by godawful Dena Higley. In the first of her many disastrous  runs.

She left show biz altogether after leaving DAYS, right? Whatever she's doing now, I hope she is well and happy.

Yeah, I think she retired to some farm "down South," wishing to have a life that was in no way connected to show business. I hope she's doing well, too.  She definitely deserved her retirement.

LOVED them :wub: I was so pissed when they were let go and we got that hack Higley. Fans got her fired the second time. And then she took it out on us during her third time. I can't believe Corday went back to her after fans got her fired. He's such a moron.

 

Aww, thanks @Gray Bunny love dishing and bitchin' about the past, present and future ... lol. DAYS has been a hot mess for a long time, sadly.

 

I wonder what happened to Tomsell? I didn't hate everything in 2012 or even 2013 (but I did hate them killing Jack, which has thankfully been fixed, as I expected it would be). 2014 it all went to absolute hell and castmembers couldn't run from the show fast enough!

 

I miss Renee Jones. I adored her. I just loved seeing her. She was vastly underused most of the time but when she could shine, she SHINED. She definitely deserves her retirement. I hope she's happy. I imagine being fired and rehired a couple of times, she kind of checked out and said you know what? ..... but I miss her

Definitely, though I along with many other viewers miss her. 

 

I do. So much. But I'm glad she's happily living her life. Selfishly, I wish her and Reckell would come back. I miss them so much more than I ever thought I would!

Ron's the writer who'd probably love to get her out of retirement or have her play Nikki Wade again! lol. But if she had stayed and Lexie was still alive, I imagine he'd have fun with her.

 

This place is definitely a gift. I get sad anytime it goes down for maintenance and it makes me realize how much time I still spend here, chatting and bitching ;)

She and her husband have a farm over in Georgia, and form what I hear she is very happy!

 

Good for her, but not so great for us.

I posted this is the "Worst Executive Producer" thread, but at least on film it's better than it was under Tomlin's toxic reign.  He had the show looking like it was taped inside a vagina. 

 

As for now....lighting still sucks....and wardrobe???

 

Listen, there are times I think Kate skint a musty coach in a Salvation Army Thrift Store, and self-sowed that horrid [!@#$%^&*] together by hand.  There is no excuse for that.  

 

And we can all tell Deidre makes her own wardrobe choices...That ridiculous pleather she loves is always on the menu.  

 

This show is like a runaway train lacking any brakes.

DUDE!!  We cluck like hen's in a chicken house, and it's fantastic.  I'm glad I got a seven day ban on Twitter.  

 

Man, Ron would have given Lexie her bite back, and that is all I ever wanted.  It's unfortunate she likes the country life.  I doubt we'll even get a drive by from her when the show is inevitably cancelled.

To me, the more we bitch about DAYS (and other shows), the more it proves just how much we care about them, even if they're total crap at the moment.  Otherwise, why would we even bother commenting?
