What the Kassie DePaiva... fall back, sir.

 

You know, if y'all are craving sexy gay guys, there are MUCH better options than Days of Our Lives. I've never really been excited by ANY romantic soap couple, *couples* aren't my thing (unless we're talking Viki and Dorian), so I'm used to being bored.

I was thinking the same thing and was going to post it. I could appear in church right beside Chandler Massey and Will says.....Paul you have a hair out of place...here is a mirror and a comb......I look at myself in the mirror and presto!

Don't put anything past that man, Carl!

 

 

In more ways than one! 

 

 

OLTL needed to BURN for thinking they could ever recast Blair with a non-Asian!  Talk about a whitewash!

 

 

IDC if you could pass for Robert Redford.  Paul was Asian, played by someone with Asian heritage.  It's bad enough Asians get even less representation than African-Americans on soaps.  Let's not even joke about taking away one of the few opportunities they have.

I'm sure this has been posted but I've been away and catching up.

 

And yep Strasser seemed to have enjoyed herself and is more than willing to return. If Louise Sorel is done then I'm happy with Robin. Of course if OLTL is rebooted ... (I can't stand that Burke woman constantly teasing it)

I've dove back into DAYS for the mask reveal and to see how RS fares as Vivian. I am surprised at how bad Robin is, how un-Vivian she is, how badly she's being lit and how tragic those shake 'n' go wigs are. 

 

Louise Sorel apparently said on her Facebook page that she was given 1 week's notice to come to Los Angeles to shoot and that she couldn't make it work, which is almost like they didn't want her to film...

Ouch, 1 week notice? Seems fishy, I agree they maybe didn't want her. (Though, to be fair, there seemed to be a quick shift around this time in filming so maybe it really was quickly thrown together? I know some things were scrapped). At least Louise was called and she didn't necessarily balk at returning (right?) so there's that ... has she said anything about her friend Robin as the recast?

 

I'm OK with Robin as Vivian (and trust me, I ADORE Sorel as Vivian, I'd always want her back, hands down but I adore Strasser too and it kind of is what it is at this point I guess). She seems a bit shaky and slightly rusty though.

 

Guess I'm just glad to see Strasser so maybe I'm being less critical but I don't really agree with all the negativity surrounding her performances. She's not going to parody Louise's Vivian so she's doing her take. Whether some like that take on it ... or not ... lol

For sure - I don't begrudge Strasser the work. I think she was great for much of her OLTL run, and when she dabbled in primetime I think she was really good...but I think she's a bad fit for Vivian. The character is so connected to Louise Sorel that I think recasting is a bad idea, especially when it seems as if DAYS (or just Ron...) wanted to shut her out by making a return impossible. This recast reminds me of when Beverly Todd stepped in for Tanya Boyd as Celeste - the essence of the character disappeared in someone else's hands.

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
