I'm actually enjoying Jackee Harry much more than I thought I would. I love how she says anything and points out how whitewashed Salem is. She manages to crack me up, and that hasn't happened watching this show in a long time. It's great to see more diversity on the show. I wish they would keep Theo full-time no matter who plays him.

 

I have my suspicions about who she really is to Lani though.

 I'm loving all the shady shade Paulina is throwing white bread Salem USA. '' If variety is the spice of life . ""Salem would be a sodium free diet''-Paulina Price. Julie going to touch Valerie's hair. And Paulina stopping her. Telling Julie to never touch a black women's hair. This doesn't sound like stuff. RC would think off on his own. Meanwhile Roman comforting Gabi felt so random.

I've been wanting to post here again for a good while, but per usual I forgot my password. I frustrate myself at times. Obviously I couldn't post here until I suddenly remembered it. It's nice to be back.

 

On to Days, and the continuing saga of how ReRon will self sabotage the show just as it's finally watchable. 

 

I'll save that ridiculous, stupid, repulsive and tired plot for the spoilers page. Still, Christ on a cracker that man is the hack of all hacks.

 

I LOVE JACKEE HARRY! She lights up every scene she's in. Boy, did Days get lucky.

 

I'm enjoying the "Who Killed Charlie?" Storyline, solely because of the dysfunctional family interactions. Sami brings much needed tension and conflict to the canvas, especially with her onscreen family. 

 

I wish Rafe would die. Xander has no balls. This Kristen/Susan story is going places. Places nobody asked for and not a soul wanted. 

 

I'm halfway enjoying the show again after loathing it for months. Knowing what I know, in about 3 weeks it's likely going to be painful to to even read recaps. 

 

Well, Ron will do Ron.

I don't think I've ever laughed as much during an episode of DAYS like I did today. Jackee Harry definitely sparked some energy into the show, and the scenes at Julie's Place were perfect, from calling Julie an old white lady, to calling Julie out on trying to touch Valerie's hair lol!

 

I find Cameron Johnson so cute and likable as Theo. I know there's many that would rather have Kyler back but Im ok with him in the role and think the character is needed on the canvas more than just a drop in. CLEO fans online are hoping for a reunion since Theo "broke up with his girlfriend," but with this version of Theo I'd rather see him with a man haha.

 

In contrast, Claire continues to annoy me. No offense to Isabel Durant but I'd welcome ORK back in a heartbeat. I just haven't warmed up to her, and it doesn't help she's wrapped up in this Ben nonsense, I tuned most of that out today, but that aside today was a good episode... funny and good display of diversity rarely seen.

I second what everyone is saying about Jackee. I expected the energy and humor from her but I am genuinely surprised they seem to be setting her up in two if not three different stories (the business, the potential Abe pairing, maybe a family secret).
And I am LOVING the way they are using her to be blunt about certain things, not least of which the place of race on the show. That's very bold and very welcome and intriguing.

Jackee is terrific — when she’s on the screen, you can’t take your eyes off her.

 

The naming of the godparents was ridiculous. I know it doesn’t really matter, but naming all these old people? And Theo, who’s never around?

 

Speaking of Theo, I guess it’s cool that he’s cured of autism. Seriously, what’s up with that? I’m not crazy about this recast, tbh.

 

And speaking of recasts, I’ll never get used to nuClaire. Just don’t think she fits the character at all.

 

it has been nice to be free of Susan and Kristen for a couple days.

I was going to ask about Theo's autism?  Is it still a thing?  Or is it like Phillip?  He magically grew his leg back when JkJ came back.  Phillip's leg isn't that big of a deal, but Theo's autism is lol.

NuClaire seems too old to me.  And I think her and Allie look too much alike.

I don’t think she’s nearly as distinctive and characterful as ORK, but I sorta don’t mind NuClaire. She doesn’t rise above the material, but she also doesn’t detract from it IMO. Not great when the material is lacking, though LOL.

I think NuClaire tries really hard to hide her accent and it effects her performance.  She was really likable in the Day of Days event clip when she was using her normal voice and accent.  ORK was a real find, but ID isn't the worst or anything.  I think she does a pretty good job interacting with her family.  It also helped ORK that she looked exactly like MM's daughter and DH's grand daughter.  Durant just looks like a random blonde girl they cast.

Agree on Theo. He's sort of in the same boat as Joey; the character needs to be on the canvas but the acting needs some work.

 

I love the Jack/Xander friendship. I'm glad that it hasn't been forgotten. Soaps needs friendships/other relationships like that.

 

And the whole Ciara/Ben psychic connection thing is stupid. I just don't get it. It would be stupid for any of the couples even the likable ones.

    • 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 or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.  
    • 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...
