@te. omfg, didn’t even think of that. PLEASE don’t let either of these women be pregnant by Alex. On the other hand, maybe that’s just the message the young impressionable viewing audience needs.

The continuous DiMera CEO battles are so boring and tedious. At least Wendy is a breath of fresh air.

That’s my main issue with Alex is that RSW seems incapable of playing him as anything but obnoxious even when he’s trying to be nice.

That’s like his only style: obnoxious, villainous and just an a****le, not the romantic lead that they want him to be.

You’ll never see him in a Hallmark movie 😂

It's true what an SON poster once said that Carlivati hates Will and Sonny and that's why he never wrote anything for them. Leo is Carlivati inspiration. 

Seems like another bias of his: if you’re gay, you have to be like Leo and if you’re not, you’re boring, you’re a bad guy, etc. I don’t like that either.

Look at the way Sonny gets written in scenes with Alex

I think it's an issue that goes beyond Carlivati to be honest - I remember commenting on this when Sammy Jo was made a gay man on nuDynasty and how they would just make him the nice gay guy... and they did. And after a few Cristals brought in another nefarious gay nephew to play the "bad" Sammy Jo role.

I guess my point is that a show that targets women tends to make gay characters that take off with the female audience and make them rather harmless and sexless; so in comes the other extreme, who they have to make sure isn't liked - or is a mere visitor - or else the same fate will befall them. Sonny and Will has long since fallen into the category of "nice gay bestie" so left is Leo as the outsider.

RSW is basically playing himself.

@TonksadoraDonna it's time for your daily Days recaps.

I love Wendy as well.  I have since Beyond Salem 2.

You deserve one of these after all that. 🙂

 

Thanks!  All better.  It was my fault.  That's what I get for trying to clear up misinformation.  I know better.

Sorry, babe, I had to get out early for a doc appt. That poor hourglass & I are both all shook up! But, don't worry, its only temporary. Either that or I'll toss my cookies & they'll be sand dollars.

OK, but I honestly think we’re pretty much saying the same thing. Whether it was all in Allie’s head doesn’t make a difference. Perception is reality, and her thoughts were her reality.

Chanel could have shut this down before anything happened. Their communication skills are terrible. 

Okay. I can see that. So, lessee, somewhere I mused that this is Allie's first adult mistake. Good god, it may be Chanel's first adult mistake, too! I just want them to play this out in real time, dramatic beat for dramatic beat. I'm afraid of being cheated out of any pay-off. And, of course, Chanel has a crisis of some proportion to take up all the oxygen in the room.

Now that is terrifying. There are real people having to play scenes with this guy!

I see what you mean. 

But Will and Sonny always drove storyline under other writers. Even under Ron for a little while.  And they do still have a healthy sex life.

The current writing always makes it seem like Leo is in the right. Especially in Beyond Salem Season 1. Will and Sonny hate him so much, yet by the end of the week they were practically thanking him for getting him out the "rut" they were supposed to be in. Personally, I don't believe that having nice, quiet nights home with your spouse qualifies as a rut. It just seems like such a backwards way of thinking, for me anyway. The original QAF gave off that vibe sometimes, and I didn't really like it there either.

Well, in that case, he's very lucky that he's hot 😂

Alex has yet to become a serial killer?

He's barking up the wrong tree then. His good enough is not good enough. He's not always gonna have someone in a position of power who has some demented crush on him. I recommend some serious career counseling. Do we have any serious career counselors to offer up?
