At the very least just acknowledge Alex looks like Ben and call it a day.  I don't even care if they don't explain it.  Just say it's a really weird coincidence.

That would be ideal and I think VK is a good actress and has a great look, but has she ever booked anything outside of Days?  Not to be mean, but it doesn't seem like she had any other projects during her absences.  All I see on her wiki is stuff she did before Days.

While I think it's possible for her to land such a job, a huge thing for those streaming series is that they don't really tend to end up paying the bills because they're usually so short (8-10 episodes and maybe two/three months work and long breaks). There was a story the other month about one of the Euphoria actresses really struggling to make ends meet outside the show.

 

Maybe she'll be able to make enough money on doing "social media influencer" work, but that seems like a "job" that will probably go on a downward trend as we're entering a huge recession...

Seriously, I want to take that straw and stick it in Alex's eye

The writers kind of dropped the ball by not having Alex and Gabi already know each other, but then again, maybe Sonny organized that on purpose to keep his pervy ass brother away from Gabi 

All the more reason that TN could have played a Weston

I think RSW has one of the highest guarantees.  But then again I think Deidre has topped the episode count overall the last two years and I feel like we go a full month sometimes without seeing Marlena, so RSW might just be more *noticeable* being on all the time because everyone hates Alex.

Alex is better than Ben. I said it. Not sure what it means. Alex remains a throwaway. Especially when Justin is MIA and Anjelica is dead. DAYS misses the mark again. Chanel/Allie saved those scenes big time.

 

Who asked for Kristen/Brady/Chloe again? Kristen seems so above both of them. Eileen's Kristen wouldn't subject herself to bothering.

 

It was nice to see Paulina/Abe and Roman lasted the whole episode. Also nice to see Kate and Lucas. Certainly a better episode than yesterday, though not a high bar.

 

Time to give Quan a shot as HW. Though I suppose he bears some blame for the state of the show being so ... meh.

Oh there's an obnoxious difference IMO but I see what you're saying. He's basically playing AMC Pete as a HO with shades of boring Ben. It's such a waste of Alex Kiriakis as a character. Just let RSW go (hey CW with their 58 year old demo). He can get another gig. You have Joey, Andrew, Tripp, Paul, etc. just waiting in the wings. (Paul/Andrew would give hotSonny something to do while Will is MIA filming Hallmark movies; though Tinker can easily book roles ... they better use him)

 

As someone who wanted Alex this is such a let down. The glasses and hair were NETWORK NOTES. Is NBC that high on him? Again, no offense to RSW; I can separate actor and character.

 

And now Stephanie is going to be wasted on him. Sadly it feels Stephanie/Alex are easy Philip/Ciara 'replacements'. 

 

I suppose they could explain away Anjelica's heart attack as her faking it. We've had that before, right? I think I'm grasping at any hope to make him interesting or worth the airtime spent on him.

They didn't even bother casting Alex. They just gave the role to RSW. There should've been a casting call for this role. But who gives a [!@#$%^&*]! Right? That's why NBC cancelled it!

Ron still acts like he has no actual investment. Abby killed (Marci Miller so got the Guy Wilson treatment in terms of the character being expendable). Laura killed. I'd rather watch Laura rant and rave at Kate or Nancy. I digress ...

 

No casting call at all? Of course not.

Wilson as Pete Cortlandt on AMC had a lot of swagger but also some of the arrogance and imperious temper of James Mitchell's Palmer, his father, and that was in the writing - Pete wasn't just a hunky dreamboat Prince Charming. He also was overcompensating for his geeky adolescence, which Colby Chandler brought up often. Again, RW is no thespian but he played what they gave him well with decent writing. He is likely not capable of playing two unique characters on the same show, let alone selling a reformed serial killer to an audience, but the writing is also doing him no favors and never has.

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.

      Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience?

      That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

      Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
