Maybe Will and Sonny really do want to be gay superheroes

But yeah, it would have made much more sense for them to simply visit Marlena or Justin or whoever and have them run into Craig and Leo. I don't think there's any BTS issues that could have prevented that lol

Re Marlena and her age.

It did help immensely that Deidre has had excellent work done over the years.

Jackie Zeman should have got Dee to give her a referral.

Whheeewwww can John just shut up and let Marlena talk.

Her work is good.  You can look at her twin to see the aging process.  They also used to have a foggy glaze over the lense when they shot her in the 90's and early 2000's-at least in my mind.  DH looked like she had no wrinkles lol

I have no problem with them being gay superheroes, but something else should have brought them to town.  And then they fell into the Craig stuff.  Are Brady and Will even close?  I can't remember them ever really having meaningful scenes.  But Brady moves in and out of being a Kiriakis and Black/Brady all the time, so it's hard to say.

@carolinegThey did have that soft focus look for Deidre before she was let go in 2009.  It was very noticeable.

[AbcNbc247]

I think they have a good relationship but they've never really shared any scenes or storylines

[carolineg]

I didn't think I was imagining it, but thanks for the confirmation lol.  My best friend and I will joke and say let's "Marlena glaze" this issue for a second if we don't want to talk about something or something silly happens.   It's said with love-she looks fabulous.  I just think in the 90's and early 2000's John did look younger than Marlena and that was the show's way of dealing with it.  Now, I think John looks older lol.

 

I really can't even recall a Brady/Will scene ever lol. 

[jam6242]

@carolinegYeah, my co-worker and I used to say wish we could have one following us around, lol.  Guess Days is too broke for that now.

[carolineg]

Lol!  I need a soft focus lense for my mirrors.

DH still looks great.  Her face is fabulous still.  Her work is Lucci level, but I do think the wardrobe she chooses ages her more than anything physical.  I really don't think that matters much anymore though.  She definitely still projects younger than Julie/Maggie, not by much, but I can buy she can fight of the devil.  That being said, I think LK projects way, way younger than her age and I hate her wardrobe but if someone told me Kate was 55* I would believe it.

*I am also the worst at telling peoples ages.  If you told me Deidre was 60 I would totally believe that too.

[jam6242]

I think they all look good, though Suzanne is looking a little puffy, but I give her a pass because of her illness, and her recent health scare.  She always had great legs.  LK does present younger, and has the most sex appeal, I think partly because of her real-life personality.  Deidre is too comfortable in those blazers, I wish they'd expand Marlena's wardrobe, regardless of what Deidre likes.  Susan has always had a hang up about her weight, thinks she's fat.  She's said Deidre tells her she's just short (that's always been my excuse too, lol).

I loved the Will/Chad/Sonny scenes today. I could watch a whole episode of just them. Man, Will and Sonny both looked goooood today. ZT in that tank... HELLO!

I loved Sonny saying that Chad is great looking. 

I know he has a lot of haters but Leo cracks me up. Can't wait to see him with Chadwick.

I hate Deidre's blazers and pleather jackets and I think she can pull of dresses, but it may be a vanity thing with her skin or something because she has always had some sun damage.  Deidre is tall- 5'7" but Suzanne is listed as the same height on the internet and the Rockette's have a height standard, so I think that's approximately right.  I think Kate dresses so young, but it sorta works and she does have a lot of sex appeal.  I never have thought DH or SZ exuded that but could with specific screen partners. I mean the fact Marlena had sex on a conference table makes me think she is down and Maggie got hers as well lol.  John/Marlena were fire hot in their day, although I don't think Marlena exudes that sexuality the way that Kate does, but it is character specific.  Kate has a more slinky, I have been through it all way of acting.  I don't think Kayla, Kim, Jen, Adrienne, Melissa, Belle, Sami, etc. exude hotness either but they found the right pairing to make them sexy.

I would say someone like LR's Billie, CC's Carly, and ED's Kristen exuded sexiness.  I don't even think KA's Hope did.  She was gorgeous but sort of cold.

I think Susan looks way more 'done' than Deidre. Especially around the eyes.

Also Deidre is doing the butch look now with the plaid and pants  whereas Susan is still in the spaghetti strapped mini dresses.

 

[carolineg]

Agree about the facial work for sure.  Deidre looks very natural as opposed to other actresses in her age range.  I think Susan is just super tiny and Deidre isn't fat or anything but more normal sized and the same things would not look good on her.  The butch look is awful, but I think it's a self conscious thing.  Look how tiny DH was 10 years ago compared to now.    I mean, same, I was much tinier 10 years ago as well, but I do think she feels the need to cover up more now.  And, listen, at 75 I would do whatever the [!@#$%^&*] I wanted too.  I just don't think it's the most flattering, but John's still into it so whatever I guess lol.

Deidre is just a very classic icy, blonde, old school beauty and she doesn't work into that.  I mean she's older than my grandma, but she seems to want to go boxy and butch with her clothing choice, while always wearing high heels.

I have something to look forward to. I'm still on Tuesday Will/Allie episode.

You know the stories suck when the thread goes off the rails and everyone is talking about Marlena's looks.
