Well, it's a natural question, isn't it?  Especially when the storyline in question involves one of your show's leading heroine attacking people in the middle of the night while zonked out on over-the-counter sleep medication.  ("Where do you intend to go with this, Dena?")

Why is this show allergic to scoring scenes?! Every other soap still does but this trash bag of a program thinks all scenes should be silent or have that lame twinkly music they use at the end of every episode!

Yes.

Has she explained why she chose this particular moment to reveal herself when she has had years to do so?

It might have been better had she been in cahoots/linked  with someone.

Maybe Matt Miller let's the Newmans know he's tied the knot. Dee is a wonderful lady etc.

'Bring her to town' proclaims Victor. All the family assemble and in walks Diane...

As Victor is propped in a chair

Diane: I’m surprised it took you this long to show up. Maybe you’re slowing down a bit.

Victor: I’m as fast as I’ve always been. 

 

 

Diane: Threatening helpless women? That’s really not your style. Or is that you’ve become these days — a common thug?

Victor: Hmm. I would never threaten a helpless creature of any kind, you know? But when someone as venomous and potentially evil as you comes across my path, all bets are off.

Diane are you forgetting Victor through you out of a moving vehicle?

At least things are FINALLY happening on this show again. Diane's return has proven to reinvigorate the show in a way I didn't expect. They need to invest in Susan Walters long-term.

I still have no interest in who is running what company. I don't understand why the writers think revolving jobs at ill-defined corporations is interesting for the viewer. It was different back in the day with Jabot. We saw people at work in their offices, things HAPPENED at the office, and it tied a lot of characters together. I don't give a flip about who's the new CEO for Chance Com-Newman-Winters-Hamilton. What do these companies even do???

And, that's what every good soap storyline should do...it leads you to the next story.

True....especially since Phyllis has done just as bad in the past. Hell, ran down Christine and Paul with her car.

When is Ashland finally going to meet Diane?
 

Grossman’s Adam has finally found some fresh air with being paired with Hope’s Sally but the writing just never does any favors. I recall Justin Hartley’s Adam found himself in the same predicament. It’s a shame any character growth always gets stunted by catering to egos. 
 

It’s interesting that the show today took some strive to resolve a dangling story plot from SSM days five years ago in regards to the sex trafficking story by saying Rey had secretly solved the case. It’s an interesting touch and a reminder that the shots being called these days aren’t necessarily from JG or Morina lol

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
