Yummmmmm

Oh, Freddie, that is just not funny. So bad.

[Khan]

DAYS is already one big joke.  An April Fools' episode was just overkill.

 

And why, in God's name, is William Shatner discussing soap operas on his Twitter account?

I can't answer why, but he's been doing it for years now. He and Billy Flynn use to respond to each other a lot.

IDK. I really don't care about the stand alone episodes. I find them funnier and better than the actual show

 I mean, it's a joke like you said and the show itself is basically a parody of itself at this point ... I get the frustration but I just can't think deeply about these shows anymore when they can't bother themselves.

 

Shatner seems to be a soap fan

I’ve accepted Stacy as Kristen especially now that they’ve made Kristen sane, but I still can’t help myself wondering how Eileen would play this stuff especially with her history with the actors. Missed opportunity.

[Taoboi]

THIS.

 

While I have peeked in here and there when it comes to Kristen, I am scared to see her. I love SH, but I was so used to ED and her acting and her throughline (always wanting love and a baby), all of this new storyline...happy to hear and read she has been redeemed...and how long she has wanted a child, I can't help but feel about how ED would do it. And I would be reallllllly happy for her.

I basically like what's happening with Kristen, save for the really clunky plot-driven anvils they're dropping about Rachel/Mickey... but it requires me to ignore, like, her entire on-screen history.  And when I do remember, I'm like, "what the actual f*ck?!?"  And I CANNOT with the Brady relationship and J&M warming to her.  This is getting Ben level.  Kristen could be doing all this with Lani and her family (with a little Jennifer sprinkled in) and it'd be much more effective and authentic for me.

 

And I miss ED for all the obvious reasons already mentioned, but I really love SH as Kristen when she's not bat$h!t... but the interpretations and writing are so different, so it's tough.

[ranger1rg]

I like Stacy Haiduk, but not as Kristen. I think ED is missed horribly. I don5 see any connection or chemistry between SH and EM.

[Antoyne]

Dare I say I felt bad for Stefano today as he was telling his kids goodbye.

[Wendy]

 

I just find it a cartoon. Because this is a mind-controlled Steve Johnson and Stefano is DEAD. As it should be. What a slap in the face to Joe Mascolo.

[DynamiteKiddo]

Ya, it feels like there is no respect for Joe Mascolo's legacy.  Everything since Hope "killed" him has been a hot mess.  The only thing I liked was that "tribute" for him at the pub in 2016, but ultimately that was about Hope.  Then there was that horrible Shane impersonation bull$h!t... omg lol.  And for everything going on with "la famiglia" right now, EJ and Peter's absences are hugely glaring.  Peter's absence has been such a problem through all of Kristen's returns and Chabby.

 

On another note, I don't think Nicole would EVER suggest keeping Brady's child from him.  I hated that beat on yesterday's show.  Victor doing it really has me at a loss, too... but I get that is really complicated.  I loved that moment with Xander offering his condolences to Brady today--really uncomfortably messy to watch.

[Antoyne]

Yeah Nicole telling Eric to keep the baby seemed waaaay OOC for her. Why would she go through the trouble of finding out the truth just to keep it a secret?

[Gray Bunny]

 

Agreed. The whole thing is DUMB. Next time, Rolf should just plant a chip in Marlena's brain and Marlenano can play with herself all the live long day.
