For sure.  I could see Ron thinking about it, but the amount of time you would have to spend explaining it would be awful.  Plus, I don't see the point in making a serial killer J/M's kid.  The show doesn't feel the need to redeem him, so why do we need extra reasons to like him?  Although RSW does kind of look a little like Drake.  But I am going to not put that into the universe.

I forgot to mention this in my initial post, but what the hell is that picture?  I need someone to explain why on earth that was taken lol.

Also, to all not @AbcNbc247, RSW is not that bad.  I am at risk of getting called a Cin shipper here, but I don't think he's glaringly worse than anyone else.   I don't think he should win awards or anything, but he's not the worst actor on the show.

It looks more recent that 1986, but who knows?  Maybe it was during the Belle stuff.  It looks like a SOW pic when they used to do interesting photos.

Anyhow, I think RSW is better than CB, but I honestly think CB might be the worst actor on the show lol.  I like him and hope he figures it out though.  I just don't think RSW is that bad.  But then again I don't think EM as Brady is that good either and he gets nominated for emmys year after year.  So it's entirely possible I have no taste.

Agreed EM is too old for Brady, but I never thought he was as good as his nominations/awards suggest.  He's decent and charismatic enough but he's pretty bland overall.  I have seen some of his stage/musical work and he's very talented, but it's a meh for me.  

Idk, I definitely respect people's opinions on RSW, but his acting doesn't bother me.  I am not a Ben, Ben/Ciara fan, or anything like that so it really doesn't offend me if people think he's awful lol.  JMO on this.

Has anyone noticed the wall behind Abe in the beginning scenes with Mr. Aioli Man and how bad and "untogether" it looks? What do you call wood when it gets wet? Warped? And it looks like they put caulk or something in the corner.

EM isn't horrible or anything.  Meh is the perfect word for him.  I don't think it helps that the characterizations of Eric and Brady are very similar.  Outside of Eric being a priest (for now) there really isn't much difference between the two of them lol.  I don't think there is a huge acting difference either between EM now and when he was on Passions so I don't really get the Lead Actor Emmy nom, but whatever.  Good for him lol.  

I never cared for KL's version of Brady either, but I think that's more on the writing than him. I do think KL is closer to the right age for the part.   Both Belle/Brady have been the biggest disappoints since they were aged.

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
