Phyllis is getting on my last nerves. I’m really fed up with her character. I was quiet satisfied that Diane got some sort of payback with her resignation coz she remembered what Kyle/Summer told them. It doesn’t matter what Phyllis does or Diane both will be fired. Phyllis brought this on herself.

and Phyllis self talking annoys the hell out of me. I don’t remember her being that annoying in the past. She is so obsessed by now with Diane it’s getting ridiculous. It makes me root for Diane somewhat.

And what happened to the Tess character? She was so confident with her music back in the day and now she is lacking all confidence and looks like a mess. She is so off

I don’t believe it was a racist comment. His point was the origin story for the character is very explicit in where Bond comes from. It has nothing to do with race directly.

Can writers ignore the origin story and race swap? Sure, but why should they? I’m of the opinion that fictional characters shouldn’t be race swapped just to appease people who think it doesn’t matter. For instance, if it’s not okay to race swap a Black or Asian character without backlash, why race swap a White character other than because you can?

I generally don’t talk politics or get into topics like this, but this is just my personal opinion and does not reflect the opinion(s) of others or the direct opinion of Soap Opera Network and its associated properties.

9-23-22: Phyllis - The Cry Baby. No wonder Danny Romalotti couldn’t deal with her on a long term basis. I wish they would get rid of that useless character. 
 

Nate/Elena… I’m still siding with Nate and the actor is doing a fine job with his facials. Since he has become a bit sneaky he’s really on fire. 
What’s the fuss about Elena anyway? She looks gorgeous but her character is dull as hell. Devon and Elena all talking about honesty and loyalty and stuff but they were the first ones betraying their family’s and boyfriends. But Nate is the evil one.

sure sure
 

I hate Devon talking about Neil after what he did to Neil back in the day with Hillary. He’s such a disgusting piece of crap and I hope Nate will give him some hell. I mean he got his girlfriend first. Now he should get Devon’s job

Poor Doug is digging his hole deeper and deeper. I remember times like this when I was against a female Doctor Who back in the day lol 

 

9-26-22: 

How many unneeded female characters does this show have?

What is Chloe’s purpose besides having a go or making a comment everytime Adam appears. Come on Griffith let them hook up already and everything is forgiven between them.

Chelsea became quiet unneeded too even though I enjoyed her performance today.

Victoria and Billy told Johnny something so important in a public place like this? I know budget is tight but seriously??? Ok then.. But great performance overall from Heinle.

I find myself enjoying the Sally/Nick-fling.

The new girl Adra (or whatever her name is) had a lot of dialogue. I’m surprised the new actress pulled it off so well. 
Nate/Victorias plan moving forward gets me excited.

I was so hyped to see Jill again even if it was via cam again. I’ll take everything from Jill that we get. Wish she would be used more again instead of Phyllis or adding new characters

Here I am doing my workout and say 'bitca' as this giggly heffa keeps getting in Diane's face, begging for the slap that Diane should have given her...only to see Diane wipe the smug look right off her face without a slap needed by resigning from the company. And given the clause Kyle and Summer JUST TALKED TO THEM ABOUT that meant Giggly Heffa was GONE TOO. I laughed my butt off. Well-played, Diane. I should not have doubted you would get Phyllis together if needed.

 

But glad to see some more movement this week with the focus on Diane again as Phyllis tried to drive her crazy and Nikki in LA to see Deacon. LOVE those flashbacks. They looked so good. Still do. lol. 

 

I did miss the first episode of the week due to CBS switching over seasons. And that just let me know how much I am loving Nick/Sally because outside of that episode (nick appear next day, but not sally), they have not been together at all so far this week and I really want to know what happens next. 

 

Speaking of what happens next...Devon vs Nate continues to be where it's at. And yes, I do see Devon's side. Neil made that company so there would be something for his family...kids and their kids. And taking it public would jeopardize that. Even Nate appeared to feel the same way on that end. And when Neil was alive, I am sure he voiced the same. So I am Team Devon on that. But I do wish he would listen to everyone who feel he does seem to have some hidden dislike for Nate and I continue to like the past of that brought up. That said...liking some sneaky Nate. And at the rate he is going it's a WHEN he sleeps with Imani not IF.

 

Oops. Giggly Heffa just walked in early on the vow renewal.

Phyllis/Diane - Boring! Snoozefest! But the text message Diane got at the end made me interested.

Allie/Noah are so cute. I really like that pairing.

I’m really feeling the Nate Story. It has some great classic vibes to it. And everytime Nate talks business I feel like if a guy like Nate with no experience can do that then I can start or take over a company and business too.

Victoria/Billy/Chelsea plot had me a bit moving emotional. I get where Chelsea is coming from but I loved for Billy putting Chelsea in her place. Victoria standing up for herself and her family really hit hard. I side with Victoria here.

Nate/Elena… Isn’t it funny that this chick Elena talks about morality , family and love even though she broke Devon’s heart? 
talk about hypocrisy… I never liked Elena tbh but she just made me dislike her even more now where she took off some time from Nate.

Nate can do better than Elena in my opinion

    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • 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).
