LOL! I'm not trying to stir some stupid pot. Please, I've got bigger perch to fry in life. I'm just adding satire commentary to a fictional television series. I don't ever recall going after members here because that's just not me. Secondly, if one needs to have total and absolute control in their own environment, then perhaps move to an Amish village and stay clear away from the world of internet. That's the only advise that I can give since we're talking about a fictional television show.

Oh, for the love of Christ. Well, like they say .... you step from one sociological bubble to another. I'm still going to post satire commentary anyway unless I'm banned. And if that's the case, then I'll look at the subjects of world poverty, social discrimination, cancer, homelessness, etc. and realize that I'll be just fine.

I'm just going to continue to be me and press the envelope some more, so to speak. If any others want to private message me about how they feel, there are other ways to go about it in my opinion.

This scene made me laugh. It's been a mere 24 or 48 hours since Eli woke up from a coma since March? You just gotta love the sanctity of marriage even in soap-opera fictitious land:

Lani: "You don't think that Paulina is guilty? Why would you say that?"

Eli: "Well, a couple of things."

Lani: "Such as?"

Eli: "When you first told me about the shooting, you said that Paulina said that she shot TR."

Lani: "She did."

Eli: "That phrasing …"

Lani (interrupts Eli): "About what?"

Eli: "Lani, don't you think that's kinda strange? Why would you put it that way if you were there and witnessed the shooting? Why wouldn't you just say Paulina shot TR?"

Lani: "I was upset. I just …whoa, I just saw my biological father get murdered, so I guess I wasn't forming perfect sentences! Is there anything else you want to grill me on, detective?"

Gee. For a guy who almost died and then woke up from a coma since March, Lani sure sounds grateful to have her husband alive and well.

Oh, and here's another funny conversation between Chanel and Johnny:

Chanel (to Johnny): "I wanna go see how Tripp is doing. You know … he and I got close while you .."

Johnny: "I know, I know .."

Shut up, Chanel. All you and Tripp did was act like a bunch of amateur drunks on New Year's Eve sportin' aound Red Bull breath. That's nowhere to getting close especially when the only conversations Chanel has had with Tripp have lasted as long as the taste of spearmint in the stick of a Trident chewing gum. Yeah, REAL close my ass.

I don't think the show wants us to perceive Nicole as a 'whore.'   I would consider her more self-destructive than promiscuous, especially considering the men she chose to sleep with.  Xander actively tried to destroy her life and EJ was awful to her as well in the past.   These choices suggest to me that she's sabotaging herself not that she's sleeping around town.  I would have eliminated the whole Xander tryst and put more effort into her and EJ, but I also think Nicole was a character that was a victim to cast departures (Sami/Eric) and things didn't play out the way they should have.  It's a lot of men over a short period, but thinking of the entirety of her run, I don't think she's a whore.  I think some things Nicole did early on suggest she will easily use sex as a weapon (Marrying Lucas for money, marrying Victor, randomly sleeping with Roman, etc.), but she was a victim of sexual abuse and has issues.  I do think she has grown a lot since then.

When she slept with Xander, when she was so drunk & even more than drunk when she was so upset with Eric & hadn't adequately expressed that & was so full up & overflowing with anger & feelings of loss & also of betrayal & abandonment too, and she slept with Xander, I tried to think of it as an action that had motivation behind it, even if it was a sabotaging of herself & that she was gonna hate herself in the morning, but this little voice kept saying, PLOT DEVICE, DONNA, don't get so worked up. But, short answer, I don't think of her as a whore. And, Good Lord did she ever pay for that night's indiscretion! I can't think when we saw a guy pay in spades for a night like that, maybe Chad after he stooopidly slept with Gwen.

I'm not saying the show wants to us to perceive her as one. I'M playfully joking around and I'm saying that she is, lol! Shall I make a graph and put all the characters of Salem on the horizontal axis and then put the quantity of people slept with on the vertical axis from a five to six month time frame? I like your explanation and it's very much detailed and I thank you for that. I And hey, if this graph would indicate that Nicole has the highest quantity of people slept with, then all power to her. I'm not slut-shaming or whore-shaming. The scene with Sarah was funny in the sense that Sarah doesn't know that Nicole slept with Xander. Actually, she probably knows now since half these conversations are done in private. That could explain why she stormed off to the ladies room when Zander arrived. Or, maybe Eric told her that her baby is dead instead. Who knows? There's nothing climactic about it I know that much as these storylines breeze on by quicker than a New York minute.

Johnny/Chanel/Allie/Tripp is so messy and I’m here for it. I’m fine with any of their pairings. There was great writing in all of their scenes today. I also really liked seeing Tripp stand up for himself and not accept being someone’s second best.

And hopefully, in the end, Kristen and Jake end up screwing Gabi over.

The bad writing and the ugly cheap, weird looking room. As well as Shawn's stupidity. Really undermines things.  

The dry and boring DiMera board meeting put me too sleep. It's just more of Kristen's played out bs.

 

I agree that best stuff was the Tripp/Chanel/Allie/Johnny quad.

Ok, did this bitch seriously just snatch the wig off of Nancy’s head?? Lol I can’t.

And why was everybody dressed in floral prints today?

Got to give a shout-out to Zach Tinker though. He really is a chemistry magnet. But they’re going to bust up Will and Sonny, at least bring back Paul.

      As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.

      Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.

      I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so.

      I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either.

      I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).

      I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.

      Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna

      Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
