I wish she'd be bitchy on screen then.  She only gets to with Jan or Sami on occasion.  Sami isn't wrong.  She's a wet noodle. 

I know she's supposed to be Marlena Jr. but Marlena on her most sanctimonious days is way more exciting.  Belle would should be possessed by the devil for awhile.

Charity Rahmer was more exciting than MM.  At least she inappropriately flirted with her on screen dad to spice things up and you never knew what 'acting' choices she would make next.

I really only know KB from the Real World and Days.  I see he has a game show on Peacock now.  I honestly thought he was an okay Phillip.

DevilBelle would be a start.  Or have her mix it up with EJ or Chad or something.  I don't know if MM has it in her to be a romantic heroine, but she deserves to be something more than being a lawyer and doting husband to Shawn.  I think MM does well with friendships and with her family so give her scenes with Jarlena, Brady, Chloe, EJ, etc. and style MM better.  I think she did good with the Jan stuff and I am okay with Jan being her Stefano big bad and locking her or Shawn in a cage yearly.

Honestly, my biggest issue with Belle/MM is that she's way too close in age with Ali Sweeney. If I was in charge I'd probably recast her with an actress that's at least ten years apart from Sweeney (and looks visibly younger) and also put Claire in a Mike Horton-freezer for at least five years (if the show is still on then) and then maybe have her return as vaguely "early 20s" lol.

Agree 100%.  Belle and Brady should look younger than Sami/Eric not the same age especially when the show continues to mention things like Sami trying to sell baby Belle on the black market.   It wouldn't bother me as much if Belle's conception wasn't tied to events that are still spoken about fairly frequently.

And they definitely need to de-age Claire.  MM looks her age, but her age is not anywhere near old enough to have a 29 year old daughter lol.

I have always thought he was hot and it looks like he's aged really well.   Good for him for making a career for himself.

Yes!  I thought he was hot from the Real World.  I think that's half the reason I liked him as Phillip lol.  I wanted him to succeed.   I always thought he was smirking and laughing in all his scenes with Charity Rahmer like he was in on her awfulness, so I liked that about him too.

Chandler got that job he was interviewing for as an analyst. He is in Georgia but did beyond Salem in L.A.  I believe his scenes airing now on the main were taped before beyond Salem. He is currently working on a movie in Connecticut? @AbcNbc247 confirm? There are rumors he will return to Days as he and Sonny try to help Marlene free herself from the Devil.

Haha

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
