He is younger than GV but older than JJ.  Here's my thing-JKJ is having enough trouble playing a character he (practically) originated 20 plus years ago.  I don't think he can take on someone else's iconic character.  I know the writing is awful for Phillip, but JkJ is not exactly hitting the mark with his acting choices.

A mess.  But JJ did those weird greasy bangs and watery eyes as Lucky, so that wouldn't exclusively rule him out for me.  Many other factors would lol

 

I saw that too.  I assumed SBu was older, but he played a teen in the early 90's while JKJ played at teen in the early 2000's so I figured there was a larger gap in age.  SBu looks like he is an entirely different person from 1997.  His neck alone is three times the size.

I think Steve Burton has a bit of toxic masculinity. He presents as peaceful but he bulked up like he's ready for a fight and some of his personal views are questionable to me. The anti-vaxx stuff, chumming with Tucker Carlson, looking like he's high on roids all the time.

He seems angry, I hope he can let it go because he seems like an alright guy outside of that stuff.

I don't think he's attractive at all anymore. He was never my type but I could see why others thought he was hot. Now? He looks buff and malnourished at the same time. It's weird.

I used to think Jax, Sonny, and Jason were so hot in the 90's.  None of them aged particularly well.  Ingo probably looks the best still, but he's Ingo so that excludes him from being hot.  I think it would help if Steve found a happy medium between his super skinny 90's look and his roided out look.  Comparing SBu and Ingo to Days stars like GV and EM there is no contest.  The Days guys look much better.   MB is quite a bit older and I like the grey, but he was so good looking and charming back in the day and that is gone now.  I do think a lot of the stories and behind the scenes stuff have made all of them less likable to me over the years.  MB is making a comeback into my good graces with his book and his you tube show.  He comes across as a decent guy.

Apparently in todays episode everyone gets a chance with the Salem brain. Belle figures out Brady is being set up, Steve figures out that MarDevil is going to free Jan, and even Tripp was smart to play it cool when he came upon Marlena and Jan.

I’m getting some weird vibes from these Kate and Philip scenes. Kate has gone from being 100% on Philips side to now appearing very concerned that her son Philip has a serious problem and has gone off the deep end. I won’t hold my breath that the show will follow through with Philip’s apparent and obvious mental issues, but they are being written pretty good today in a overall poor storyline.

MarDevil knocks out another person with that hospital tray SMH this is getting tiresome.

Phillip needs some psychological help. I imagine once Marlena is no longer possessed, she’ll end up being his doctor and curing him. I felt bad for Kate trying to get through to her son.

Today was a pretty entertaining episode. I always like Jan pop ins.

      DAYS: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      Thanks for that. It was great to see her in an interview. She's very likable. Although it was somewhat confusing. What new soap is she talking about going on audition for in 1973. Was it The Young and the Restless? The editing around that part was weird and choppy. I felt like there was a chunk missing or something. And I'm not sure why she was saying she got colorectal cancer from HPV and said it's because she never got the HPV vaccine but then said she's never had anal sex. I'm not a doctor but that didn't seem to make any medical sense. I don't know. Maybe I'm tired. It just seemed like some of this interview didn't make sense.

      If it helps any, the last script cover from the Elman papers that I have is from episode #3,736 airdate November 15, 1977. Writers are the Hollands with Frank Salisbury.

      B&B: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      B&B really does look incredible. The lighting and the polished sets have made a significant difference how visually appealing the show is now.

      I found the problem with the Labine era was that the show lost some humour when the Labines came on and it could be dull. They also didn't seem to understand some of the characters. As others have said, it looks fantastic in comparison to the next regime but I just remember boredom being the primary response.

      Something I didn't realize: Frank Ashmore, who played Monica's investigator Corrigan in 1981, was also Victor, the third guy in the cockpit, in Airplane!

      Thanks, maybe I will skim through those episodes.  I have previously binged late 1985 through early 1987; April-June, August 1992 (I skipped Carlo Hesser murder trial), Jan-March 1995 and I began watching in 2006. I just struggle to stay consistent with routines especially binging routines haha

      I could've sworn we went over the Bobbie thing a while ago, and saw her introduced to Rick and Lesley as "Nurse Barbara" in very late '77? Or was that early '78? I know the clip is online. Jackie always credited Marland with creating her IIRC.

      Thanks.  Loon Lake - very on the nose. With that "dad" outfit Bo looks even more like Cassie's father...

      That lengthy flashback does make me wonder if she threw out a lot, but I agree it may have been too easy an urban legend. Would these have been her very first episodes? I imagine you could feel the big difference when Bobbie arrived, alongside the Quartermaines filing in, the return of Heather, and Lesley/Rick/Monica/Alan heating up. It does remind me that there must have been some dud moments in the 60-minute format we just don't see because little of the period is available in full.  I wonder how much longer the Dantes lasted under Marland.  David Hamilton is so disgusting. I appreciate the show making him disgust as some shows when they have stories about older men or women manipulating teens aren't as honest.  I can't see this Rick being friends with him. Chris Robinson's Rick, on the other hand, I could believe.
