 Princess Gina was awful 20 yrs ago. All these years later is still awful. I was liking Gabi. But now i just find her disgusting. Lani is to weak to slap her and take the phone. I wonder how many months we are going to be subjected to KA wearing that tiara?

It’s crazy to think the episodes airing next week Nov 4-8 were filmed 7 months ago.

 

Did we get official confirmation that DAYS is going dark soon for several months? 

 

Dark Gabi, looking refined and perfectly dressed, is a-OK by me. I loathed victim Gabi and never cared for the character. I have a new appreciation for CB and her ability to spit out that venom. It’s such a contrast to Jordan, who been written so badly that Kristen’s twirling mustache dialogue looks positively Emmy worthy.

I really don't like Gabi's behavior or how Lani is being written in this storyline. Lani should be written much smarter and shouldn't just be cowering to Gabi and her threats. Lani is a police officer and should be warning Gabi about the potential consequences of her actions. Including jail time. She should have told on Gabi already/or at the very least threatened to tell on her. That could have forced Gabi to change her plans. Lani should have also reminded Gabi that she could be away from  Ari for a long period of time if she goes to jail again for killing Julie. I hate how Lani has been dumbed down and written as virtually helpless against Gabi. That looks terrible especially because Lani is a police officer, Eli is the commissioner. And this comes on the heels of Lani already looking very weak by begging on her knees. 

 

Lani should stand up to Gabi. If she doesn't Gabi could continue to make demands regardless of whether Lani dumps Eli or not. Plus she could purposely or even accidentally kill Julie, anyway by pressing the button. I know Gabi has already messed with the pacemaker, but I wonder if she's really thought things all the way through and is prepared to possibly go to jail again and long term for murder. Lani could have thwarted Gabi's plans about the pacemaker and forced Gabi to go in another direction with her revenge.

 

Like plot to seduce Eli/break them up in another way, that won't land her in jail for a long time. That would be a soapy way of handling things that doesn't have Gabi completely running over Lani and Lani looking very weak. The way that Lani/Gabi are being written in this storyline is really irritating a lot of people, (myself included). And has actually caused people to actually lash out at Camila Banus. Granted, I don't condone that, but that shows the types of negative feelings this type of writing is stirring up. And IMO if anyone should be criticized for it, it should be Ron.

    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.
