But we're saving 8 cents a day because the tone deaf racist who was shilling the .08 a day is now spamming the board with daily recaps that no one asks for. Why champion everyone to sign up for Peacock for only .08 a day and then proceed to spam the board with summaries that no one reads. By the way, GREAT video! And I didn't have to pay 8 cents to watch it.

The Mike/Nancy scenes came off better than I expected they would. Of course it's all rushed, but they hit some nice notes there. I was impressed that they hit on the aborted 70s story of teenage Mike questioning his sexuality. And as random as this is, one thing I do appreciate about this regime is that they make it feel like there's a world beyond Salem and that the offscreen characters have lives. Now if only the stuff we watch day-in-and-day-out could be consistently decent...

I thought it was a bit rough at the beginning. RC acting was over the top. As Mike realized Nancy had changed the scenes got better. 

Ron Carlivati is over doing the 80s redux stuff. It's like him saying see I respect the history but to me it's a crutch and just lazy writing because he can't write anything original that will entertain the audience.

I totally agree.   I love the use of history as much as the next person, but Ron uses it to make us think he is so clever and respects the shows past.  It's like a smokescreen to make his writing seem better because he CARES so much about Days history.  

I haven't finished the show yet, so it may answer my question, but why didn't Kristen just go directly to John to ask the favor?  Why go through a dying, half conscious Marlena?  Wouldn't John be more likely to do it for Kristen to save Marlena?

Yeah, RC was playing it BIG, and the dialogue could've been a lot more subtle. But I'll take what I can get! And the guy hasn't had to act at this one-take-and-we-move-on pace in a long time. I appreciate that they brought him in.

This whole Jennifer/Gwen thing, on the other hand, has been so hilariously rushed. Was this all just to give Gwen (yet another) "redemption"?

Honestly this entire situation is a shítshow. Putting the troll capitalizing on the recent drama aside, obviously Donna should be censured for her racist commentary if she hasn't been - let alone other unnecessary spammy or often OT posts she makes and putting aside the fact that she appeared to have been shadowbanned a year ago for bad conduct and then allowed to return. Nor do we require daily episodic synopses.

If I had my way (and I don't) she wouldn't be allowed to post. But by the same token, I also don't think openly antagonizing her daily in threads meant for monthly discussion of the soap adds anything to the board. It's sport and unnecessary. (And speaking of unnecessary posts, we don't do episodic picture spam posts in primetime threads either.) So maybe everyone can move on with their lives.

With SON now being referred to as "Donna's Blog" in many circles something needs to be done. She's not the only one that's made comments that are racist, and not the only one that gets away with it, but I don't understand why her comments and the many reports of her posts have gone by the wayside. Believe me, I know when a certain poster complained about me, because they got swift action.

And yet, now I remember the ghost of shallotpeel from the GL Buzz Boards and the P&G boards and she was banned from both of them. And I mean this with complete sincerity, I wish her health and mental stability to be well, but she's an absolute deranged lunatic, and she needs to seek help and I hope that she receives it. Her racism is where I draw the line. And I can be a pistol. 

You can serve and mince your racism to me prepared scrambled, sunny-side up, poached, or however you want to serve it to me, but I will still call a spade a spade.

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.

      It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.

      There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
