Freddie and Alyssa are very painfully too watch. In one podcast Alyssa is talking about having a bad tummy. And taking TUMS for her tummy. For a young couple they act like their 90.  Freddie's very pretentious and dull. And as you stated she way, way overly perky.  I wonder if they make any real money. From their unverified youtube channel

I would assume they make no money off of it or very little.  There aren't any ads and not a ton of views.  I am not really sure who they are marketing this to except for a few diehard Wilson/Sonny fans.  I would hope they have other sources of income.

 

I do think they dial up the wholesomeness and overcompensate with the clean, boring lifestyle due to that years old DUI.  Honestly, they are just both fairly unappealing to me, but she definitely bothers me more than him.  When they were interviewing DH I thought DH and FS played off each other well, but she was distractingly over effusive and obnoxious.

So bizarre that we got Will/Maggie but not one scene with Will and Marlena. I also was thrown that Will got to interact with Jennifer. I'm still really liking Cady in the role.

 

The less said about Sonny's Zoom return, the better. I'm cracking up at that one unfortunate screen cap that someone posted. Sami's Zoom appearance was way better.

Good point. Not with Missy Reeves after the Chic-Fil-A debacle! I think we're seeing a lot of different shades with Jennifer that we didn't get before. I hope that continues. For the first time in a LOOOONG time, I'm interested in the character and what she does again.

 

I'm realllly enjoying seeing the Horton house more. Seeing it feels like old school DAYS in a good way. So nice to see Jennifer have scenes with Lucas, Allie, and Will lately. It helps the Hortons feel like more of an actual family on the show. Although, it would have been great to see Maggie, Shawn, and Lucas at the tree trimming. I wonder if covid played a role this year.

Not that I know of. I have a feeling something got cut in that scene at Marlena and John's apartment. I always enjoyed Marlena and Will's scenes. They have such a great dynamic. Actually, Will has interesting...and different...interactions with both Marlena and Kate. I'd love to have a single Will back on the show again.

 

If they could bring anyone back, I would love to see Paul back on the scene. That man was sex on a stick!

Heard on another board their was a Marlena/Will scene filmed but it got cut.  No idea why, but it's clear stuff was cut when Will was at J/M's townhouse.  They also cut a few Jarlena scenes that were spoiled in pics this week, so who knows?  I don't think there is any BTS reason just a time/content issue and they cut some good stuff sometimes

Why is this show cutting scenes AT ALL?  We know DAYS' budget is less than zero, so why waste money like that?

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Missy Reeves can STAY gone.

DH appeared the most in 2020 and SR probably appeared 40% of DH's time, so I get not cutting Maggie's scenes.  The Will scenes would have been better with Marlena.  Same as the Phillip/Maggie scenes would have been better with Kate a few days ago.  It seems like the show just doesn't know how to use Maggie.  Instead of creating, non-existent, weird relationships with her non family members like Brady, Will, and Phillip maybe just have her check in on Jen or Julie or bother Sarah/Xander some more.

 

I honestly can't believe that made it to air lol.   I don't think he was always awful, but I have had more natural, genuine conversations on zoom with my co workers that I mostly hate lol. 

 

 

Especially when Days actually releases spoiler pics of things like Jarlena kissing and get their fans excited then completely cut it and piss them off.  It seems stupid to waste scenes filmed that people might actually like.

 

I never cared for MR, so I am fine with her gone and CM is more than adequate and acceptable.

 

On a completely unrelated note, I thought Marci Miller looked very beautiful today and has for awhile.  In her last run she looked like her wardrobe was channeling a hippy grandma and her hair was either long and stringy or severely pulled back, so that's an improvement.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
