I was laughing when Marlena gave that heartfelt speech to like John, Roman, and her kids.  They could have invited a few more people.   I did enjoy Brady, Belle, Eric, and Sami in a room together.  That never happens.  And I love me some John, but is Drake getting more OTT everyday?  Even in the background he's making these odd faces and gestures.  Has he just given up on any semblance of dramatic acting and just moving into comedy?

I think the Tripp/Allie sex or love scene not being shown ... was a COVID thing.  That was filmed around the end of March or beginning of April.  Maybe the actors hadn't been vaccinated yet?

But that was fine with me. I have zero interest in that pairing.

I don't know why we had to see all those Kate/Jake sex scenes. Maybe the actors were quarantined, tested, and agreed to the risk? Or maybe they were actually kissing for only a few seconds but the film editing made it seem like more?

It's weird the disparity in love scenes.  John/Marlena are full on making out and I feel worried for them.  EJ/Sami are in bed together.   I honestly don't have much interest in the pairing, but it needed more.   I am certainly not wanting people to risk their health for entertainment, but it's a case where if they can't show anything due to health risks maybe they should have waited on the actual sex or put more depth into Allie having sex the first time post-rape.

Honestly, maybe.  It did feel like we were supposed to root for Chanel and I do.  I just think there is so much more to Allie/Trip with the rape, the baby, and now her willingly sleeping with him.  Even without a love scene it feels like this romance isn't even scratching the surface of all the issues.

I disagree lol.  Eli is the one who decides to be naked all the time when he knowingly has a house guest.  Chanel was just reacting normally to a naked hot guy.  She wasn't hitting on him IMO.  Chanel seems vaguely like a partier, but she doesn't really seem slutty to me.  She seems like she might just be a gold digger, but that's sorta how Allie was introduced as well.

I agree. And when Chanel hit on Theo a few days ago, it was her reacting to her own pain of Allie sleeping with Tripp.   And Chanel and Theo had a relationship in South Africa, so she wasn't hitting on some rando - and also Ciara didn't know that Theo had become involved with Ciara.

Not to be Professor Tsk-Tsk-Tsk here but "slutty" involves a judgement that is on the person who makes that call.
Chanel could very well be sexually promiscuous but my personal reaction would be: so? Good for her if she wants to enjoy her body with people she is attracted to. Anything that involves consenting adults is fine by me and it doesn't make the character a good or a bad person. 
I for one am all for a female character on soap having a happy busy sex life and not giving a f*** what others think.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • 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.
