Jill?

 

If she went to Days, I wonder what older female actors would be fired and what primetime show she would try to turn it in to.

 

Jill needs to be the EP of a brand new soap, I think she’d do well with it.

Have to say this was a really good week. To me, it sort of proves that you don't need OTT nonsense to tell a good story. Even Vivian holding the wedding hostage wasn't even that OTT as it could have been.

Lmaooo nah the Brady family already had one inappropriate Uncle Eric, they won't have another one

Agreed on Evan and Zoey (had Thiebaud stayed in the role of course, not the other one).

 

LOL I just watched Gwen vs Ciara and Ben and I was dying. Gwen is what we need! Let's keep her! But they'll probably end up wasting her as DAYS often does ...

So, how many people in Salem are ordained now?

 

I enjoyed today’s episode. The Jack/Xander scene was great. I hope they develop that friendship more. And the Sonny/Justin scenes reminded me that the show made a big mistake in not introducing Justin and Adrienne’s other sons.

I'm pretty sure they do that to save some money. But how expensive can a dayplayer actor be?  But then again this show can barely afford extra's. I don't think will ever see Sonny's brothers.

You’re probably right. There could be so much story for them though. When Angelica came back a few years ago, that would have been a great time to reintroduce Alexander too.

 

Plus, for a while, Alexander was supposed to be Victor’s legacy

I knew that Noel Maxam was a director at Days Our Lives. What I was surprised to find out was that former Y&R Executive Producer David Shaughnessy also directs regularly on the show.

 

If they are going to promote from within, I could think of worse than either of those two, particular the latter who was arguably the last really effective EP Y&R had. No idea if the depleted budget would hamstring them.
 

I know the former has previously served as Co-EP, but that coincided with the McPherson/Thomas misfire. 
 

Y&R could probably do with them in future but for now, that experience may be helpful to Days.

    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
