I signed up for Peacock originally to watch the Olympics - especially figure skating and gymnastics.   But I found their coverage difficult to navigate on my antiquated computer, so I ended up watching next-day videos on youtube.

I wish I could navigate Peacock's sports coverage better. I guess I need a more modern computer.

I was watching Chicago Fire episodes the next day on Hulu, because I like the display on Hulu better.  So I was going to unsubscribe from Peacock and just keep Hulu.

But then I learned that Hulu isn't going to host episodes of primetime NBC shows anymore, so I kept Peacock to watch Chicago Fire. (and Days if I feel like it)

I was gonna go look for a pic & just then I saw your post. Yes, I like her very much. I am a little crazy for all three Chicagos. Thnx for looking her up! I'm very annoyed that Jesse Soffer is leaving PD. He was on ATWT before Chicago PD. Excuse us, folks, we just fell into an off-topic rabbit hole.

I apologize for starting that off-topic rabbit hole. I got into the tangent as to why I have Peacock.
I will post about Miranda Rae Mayo  as Stella Kidd in the primetime section later today.

But yeah I will go back to discussing DAYS on this thread.

I get Peacock free for year through Spectrum. Days is comfort food in a way. So i'm glad it's still around. And i do enjoy watching during dinner time. The other day i had a friend over and we watched Days. I had more fun goofing about Days with my friend. Then actually watching the show.

It is lucky to have a soap friend IRL. I used to. But, soap viewing to me is enhanced even by online soap friends. I hate people thinking soap watching is weird. Soap fans are no more weird than are sports fans. Now, other reasons for being weird, that's okay. I'm weird & I know it.

I agree it was really hard to navigate-especially during the Olympics.  They have since removed all the Olympic coverage from Peacock unfortunately. Now if you go to sports and click on figure skating it's much easier to find.  Gymnastics doesn't have it's own icon for whatever reason so I usually go to upcoming in the sports icon or just search Gymnastics and you can find it.  I enjoyed their Golden Gymnastics doc and Meddling about the 2002 skating controversy even though it didn't cover anything new really.  Anyhow, without going into too many details of my life I am highly invested in figure skating and struggled for years paying for crappy feeds for expensive prices, so I love Peacock for that alone.

Again, for me Peacock is absolutely worth the $4.99 I pay because I watch it a lot.  I personally would still pay for it for Days alone, but I don't think Days is doing anything to make it worth it at the moment.   I do actually find myself watching Days consistently though because I can put it on anytime which is helpful.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
