I'm starting to watch these post-covid episodes and for the DAYS budget, I'm sort of impressed - I noticed that they're trying to play with shadows a lot more and camera angles and not pushing dolls on actors. It's sad that we have such a low standard but there it is.

 

Correction: I was initially impressed and then it just got lazy and weird. Oh WELL.

Loved Lucas telling Kate today about Allie's rape and her instantly going into Grandma Bear Mode.

 

I will never get over Marlena talking about Christian being a murderer and trying to get Will, when she's the champion defender of the guy that actually murdered Will. It's one of the major writing flaws that will never not annoy me.

Lucas and Kate have always been great together. I used to hate them both so much when I was little, but over the years they've grown on me lol to the point where I look forward to watching episodes with the two of them.

 

They deserve to be on the show. I'm glad Lucas is going to be sticking around for a while.

Yeah. The whole reason for this blackout storyline was to get the show back on schedule after the shutdown.

 

There are some differences in these episodes though. There are no background extras at the hospital, or the police station or HTS, and there was some distancing, just not so much that it looked obvious and awkward.

I agree. This social distancing is not noticeable at all.

 

The distancing on Y&R and B&B is awkward as hell. Today on Y&R, Chance sees Abby at the end and doesn’t hug her let alone kiss her??? They stay 6 feet apart??? It doesn’t work. The writers would’ve been better off with a phone call between them.

There was a crew member that tested postive, not a cast member.

I can notice it sometimes, but Corday did say that a lot would depend on the comfortability of the scene partners essentially. I haven't watched all week, but the Chad / Abby scenes it was sort of noticeable when they were in their bedroom with very little touching. But I think it helps they haven't done with Y&R/B&B has and attempted to do many love scenes.

Say what you will about Days, but I'm pretty sure it's the only show on television where you'll see a sixty-something woman using her sex appeal as a bargaining chip to get her great-grandson back from her babysnatching escaped convict ex-boyfriend. And also the only genre where you'll see her reach into her purse for a pacifier, then pull out a gun and shoot him. While still carrying the baby in her other hand.

      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.

      https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
