This story and LG are so awful in it I almost feel bad for her.  She has to know everyone hates it and LG seems like a nice person.  I have never thought she was a master thespian or anything, but it has to be difficult to get into character when the description is character that's been dead for 40 years and in love with Tony Dimera lol.

I rag on her as much as anyone else and LG could do actual research on the character, but I would love to know her reaction the day she found out she had to play that.

I like LG/Sarah and wanted her back, and I'm regretting it. This story is unwatchable, and LG is putting out terrible performances, though I'm not sure what anyone could possibly do to make this material work. Everything about it is just awful. I dread watching when I know Renee is being featured. 

I can't even enjoy Tony and Anna because their scenes are complete BS. Maggie coming over to the mansion to cry and ask Tony to move in was absolutely RIDICULOUS. Maggie doesn't want her daughter to get medical attention? Instead she's going to feed into Sarah's delusions and try to help her play house with Tony? Asinine. And of course Tony is actually entertaining this idea. Anna doesn't just immediately hang up the phone when Sarah calls, but instead hands it to Tony? Everyone is being written as an idiot to make this work. 

Nicole is my fave but I did not miss her and Rafe. I liked them being off screen. Awful. I need Eric back in Salem ASAP.

This episode was an absolute chore to watch. 

Oh, and I don't like Abby's bangs.

It is literally the Jessica story from OLTL all over again. Everyone was expected to roll with her delusions to the point of putting her back in high school as a thirtysomething and letting her pant after Cristian, who had a girlfriend and a job at the school! What's baffling is those involved seem to have learned nothing from that, either as writers or former viewers (like Giddens).

I also really liked LG on B&B and in doses here before, and I feel bad for her.

I guess the point of this Sarenee [!@#$%^&*] is to bring conflict to Tony and Anna's relationship?  Like, once Tony moves in with Sarenee, he'll gradually come to see her as an opportunity to recapture his youth and fall in love with her?  I guess?

Sigh.

This storyline is just too damn stupid for words.

For years and years and years on this board, it seems, everyone, including yours truly, was wish-casting Sarah Horton to beat the band; and even though several - again, including yours truly - objected to her finally being cast (or, rather, recast) with LG, most of us went along, because, hey, at least Sarah Horton was finally back in Salem after so many years!

Well, now, let me just go on the record AGAIN and say what damn fools we ALL were for hoping TPTB would remember that Maggie had a daughter out there somewhere.  We forgot that this was still DAYS, a show that will stop at nothing to make all its' characters look their absolute worst.  We shoulda known better.

Do you really believe Jamey Giddens or Ron Carlivati learned anything from their past mistakes?  Hell, Jamey and Ron are so tone-deaf, they probably believe the Teen Jessica story on OLTL was a smash!

I know he's just an associate writer on this show and not ultimately responsible for how this story will play out, but this is why I refuse to believe JG's tastes or sensibilities have matured over the years.  He knows nothing about what makes for good drama, let alone good soap opera.  He never has, and he never will.

As @SFK said elsewhere, though, there's really no point to LG researching PS or Renee if she's not REALLY playing Renee, but an impression she has of her from reading her diaries.

I dunno.  Maybe DAYS should have gone full "Maxie" and had Renee's spirit inhabit Sarah's body instead.  Perhaps then the premise would have more logic and LG would have been more inclined to try and be more like PS/Renee, too.

In case you (or anyone) doesn't know who or what "Maxie" is:

    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
