And this is the main issue - I don't have a problem with them going there (soaps of ye olden DAYS did deal with sensitive/contoversial issues after all), but as someone said: if they were going there, they needed to do it properly. And in all honesty, it's not the budget that's the issue here, but the fact that Ron's writing doesn't exactly lend itself to devle into this sort of introspective writing. It's a bit like trying to run before you can even crawl in his case.

 

I guess it's a small blessing that he didn't have Ben run into there, shirtless and trying to resuscite her, Ciara screaming in the background and Maggie waking up exclaiming "My hero and everyone's hero of Salem! I'm completely cured of my depression by the power of your salicious lips", which at least shows some progression in the writing. Small steps, small steps.

NONE of them reacted with Maggie with enough emotion except for Xander. To me, the others seemed laid back in hearing the truth and in worrying about her. Just ridiculous.


Freddie left out that his scenes with Chandler were cut because they’re so damn boring.

 

Speaking of Chandler, he GRINNED today when talking to Maggie after her failed suicide attempt. And no, it wasn’t an appropriate acting choice.

I just saw that and laughed. Rafe loves to be on that high horse while ignoring his own family history.

 

I don't like new Zoey at all. And it's a shame they've already basically made Orpheus' family a non-starter. There were brief glimpses of them becoming a semi viable family in town but they killed that pretty quickly.

 

I wasn't disturbed by Maggie's suicide attempt and it actually made sense to me.

I spied a palm tree in Salem that day...

DAYS used their back lot many times during the mid-90's through the early 00's. That park bench across the street from Salem Place got a lot of use. Heck, that's where Kate & Franco were posed when Sami found those perfectly staged incriminating photographs of them conspiring.

Sarah is showing sparks of being interesting for the first time to me. I love how they had her say she has a personality flaw where she jumps into bed with the first person in front of her. I LOL’d at that one. If I were writing it, I’d lean in to her being an alcoholic ho bag. Could be fun.

Ciara trying so hard to force her family to accept her with the serial killer is so no annoying. I'm glad Victor stuck to his guns and didn't give his blessing. What the hell did Ciara think was going to happen?

 

Oh god I spoke too soon, he gave in just so she would stay at Titan. I hate Ciara so much.

 

I love Gabi so much.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
