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 can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first into to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.
