Didn't Lani & Eli ask Julie to be Jules's godmother? Maybe Salem's in a different time zone. LOL

Adding in Edit mode: I should be way more clear. I think Julie was too old to be a godmother. When Paulina thought it was her, I thought she was too old. And, I agree with you that Marlena is too old for what I think a godparent is supposed to be. On DOOL I can't help but think it is "wealthy old person."

 

I'm not sure how specific my question was but I've been collecting dribs & drabs of information about Chloe, Joy, Belle, Evan, etc. off & on today which has been lovely. Thnx for adding! I just had a strong sense that there might be history afoot.

There. I did not remember that Mike was with Jenn in Boston. Great. He knows.

I'm still a happy camper with DOOL & with GH & in anticipation for Beyond Salem.

Tamara Braun tweeted the other day about taking a fall. She was in a dress, and on concrete & walking a dog or perhaps dog/s. If you tweet to her or anything you might want to give her a good thought. It didn't sound like anything was broken, and it might not have even used up a trip to a doc. Whole lots of us tweeted in reply. This is just offered FYI. Here's what she tweeted:

I understand now why Rafe was present when Ciara announced that was leaving Salem in front of Julie, Doug, and Rafe. Because Rafe's the baby's godfather, lol! That one really slipped my mind. I found the audience attendees for the christening to be a little odd, but then again, I don't really know how that stuff works out besides splashing a little bit of water here and there.

The nightguard shouldn't squeal on himself for his incompetence and then projecting his basic irresponsibility on Gwyneth. I saw him on June 10th, and all this guy was trying to do was hog his 10 minutes of fame. Moreover, if Statesville prison is that easily escapable, then what's the definition of prison? 

I'm still laughing at Nancy because this girl went from a doctor to a cook.

I didn't mind this past Friday's episode believe it or not. Everyone seems to be leaving town at the same time.

Why do you call Gwen "Gwyneth" ?  I don't mind because of course it's okay to use whatever name for characters when discussing them.   Just curious/wondering if there was a reference I missed.

Yes, it's like when a play has that stage direction ALL EXIT LEFT. Or worse ALL EXEUNT LEFT. whatever THAT is. Abby died. Tripp left town. People in town for the funeral may or may not have gone home yet. Lani became incarcerated. Eli and the twins moved nearby. Ciara & Ben & BabyBo found the extra boat keys & sailed away!

I can't believe Nancy actually said, "Innocent until proven guilty."

Oh, and at least Rafe isn't an older man!

I'm a couple weeks behind on DAYS, but something that's looked off to me is the lighting outside. It started with Abe/Paulina's wedding and it's continued on with scenes of Leo, EJ, Clyde etc. where it's supposed to be daytime, but there are bright spots and extremely dark spots outdoors. And the sky in the background is certainly not of any hue of blue I'm used to unless there's a storm on the horizon.  Like, what is up with this botched up lighting?

I just like saying Gwyneth better as it's more sophisticating. I remember back in my undergraduate years, I had a director who's name was Elizabeth. I guess my former co-workers felt comfortable around her so they started calling her Liz. Trust me, Elizabeth wasn't having it and she sent an email to all departments and personnel not to address her as Liz. I rarely worked with her nor called her Liz, but I respected her work background since she worked at Northwestern University. I guess in some sense, Elizabeth reminds me of sweet Gwyneth. Respect.

    • 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.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
