It’s what we usually get. Just awful. To be fair, Chandler didn’t shine in those scenes, either.

 

Marlena made me gag with her story about how Ben has changed, putting in the work with therapy, meds, meetings, etc.  Propping to the nth degree.

 

Claire is fun. Hope she wrecks Ben and Ciara.

Yeah, it's gross and disgustingly transparent to use the star of the show to sway the audience into rooting for an irredeemable character. I didn't care for it when OLTL used Viki in the same way with Todd, but that was done masterfully in comparison to this mess. At least one could fathom how a person sought to find the best in her hitherto unknown sibling.

So now Ben is the authority on when people are well or not?!

Omg I just got to that part, and that was f.uckin ABSURD.

 

Nice twist with Emily' O Brien being Jake's ex they're looking for.

Today's episode had a bit of suspense and momentum. Bland goody goody Nicole is back. It's completely out character for her to want Sami at the wedding. Why are Jack and Jenn at the DiMera manison? I'm guessing it's because the show has no budget. I'm enjoying Claire's return. But i just know she's back to make Ben look good. I do like seeing CIn and Jake teaming up to find Gwen. WilSon are useless. I wasn't a fan of Ben and Will's friendship. But it seems forgotten now. That Ben and Jake are besties. I would've like them to have teamed up with Cin and Jake. I can't wait to see a now pregnant teen Allie. I hope she isn't just going to be used to give a boring and played out WilSon a child. We hardly see them with the kid they already have. The only good thing about WilSon at this point. Is that their days are numbered. Pun intended.

Poor Rafe. I hope he gets a happy ending when he leaves.

 

Kind of glad to see the Orpheus family go. There was a lot of potential with that family, especially from Brock Kelly and Kelly Thiebaud's Zoey and they were wasted in what turned out to be a plot driven mess. 

 

Glad to see Lucas back too. I'm really looking forward to the scenes that he and Sami are going to have with Allie.

 

All in all, I still feel like that return to normalcy is still being played out on the show and I hope it stays like this for a while. I won't hold my breath though.

Yes, he really did and I'm unsure what that was all about. Was it motivated by how he thought the character would say it, his own regionalism, use of an intrusive r. Either way, they had him say mama and papa so much that it always stuck in my head. 

 

I actually watched a full episode of Days today. It was nice to see lots of familiar faces. I need to read summaries, because I'm still unsure what's going on half the time. I think that's another issue with soap operas when you're not invested in the show or characters and watching in passing it can really seem over the top, ridiculous and confusing.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
