Next week SOD: Imani plots to keep Elena at bay. Nate wants Elena to join Chancellor Winters to do a medical podcast and Imani is not happy. He asks Imani to extricate Elena from her Newman media contract while Elena is away. Josh says given who Imani is she would be a fool to not try something while Elenas away.

 

Victoria's company is called Destiny media. She tells Ashland she desposited 250 million and needs him to do the same. This also the amount he has left from Victors pay off. Josh doesn't say why but this is very significant. )The Article even said Griffith winked when saying this, LOL) She acts all smiley and happy until he leaves and her smile fades.  Josh says she's on a misson and has a specific game plan.

6-23: 

Again Diane, Summer, and Imani were the driving force for the show today. 


I loved the pivotal moment when Imani overheard Elena talking on the phone about going to be gone for a week as the wheels clearly were spinning in Imani’s head.

Allison Lanier as Summer has been such a breath of fresh air and I like the more mature edgier take she has as Summer. It’s interesting to see Lanier hold her own against Stafford. Just as Summer was unamused and unimpressed with Phyllis, I get the feeling Lanier is completely unphased by Stafford’s ramping up her acting tics. It really does make it look like Phyllis is the batshit crazy one here.

Phyllis and Michael scenes were hilarious though. 
 

I don’t think either Get it On or Hot Enough For You were bad campaigns overall, just maybe a couple had a few cringeworthy moments that got overblown looking back.

Hot Enough For You I think was fairly successful as it also came at a time when Y&R, B&B, and ATWT were on a creative and ratings upswing as the three rounded out the top 3 soaps in the Nielsen ratings that summer. Other than the lousy GL performance I was neutral on the song. I don’t think the singer ever enjoyed the same success his sister got though.

Same it’s a shame they haven’t fleshed out the Benedict family more…I mean have we even seen Naya’s husband/Imani’s dad? I really don’t remember now except maybe once..? Yeesh. I feel like there could be at least another Benedict sibling. 
 

Yawn. Predictable. FF material. I think a revenge story could work, with Ashland having Diane by his side but Victoria would need an equally strong male partner to fit the bill, something the show doesn’t have to offer at the moment.

Re PB and the 5 years contract-why

It's not like he's some hot young star they need to hang on to. Peter will be there to the last episode anyway.

Wonder what the terms are, in terms of money and guarantees...

Will Eric be offered the same?

    • 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?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
