LOL no discussion yet? How the mighty has fallen….

I actually like what I’ve been seeing with Nick and Sally. There’s a nice easy chemistry. I doubt they’re long term but should be interesting to see Summer and Phyllis’ reactions. LOL.

Too soon to decide on Tucker 2.0 although I think TSJ played the smugness well.

Noah’s club set continues to look dumb. And why are the main characters in formal attire while the extras are not? 
 

Why is nuttier than a fruitcake Chelsea still this show? The scenes of her screaming (especially that one with Billy) are dumb and corny AF.

A bit overplaying but there definitely was some bad blood. Tucker was originally supposed to be a Victor replacement character hence his initial story was deceiving Katherine and a hostile takeover. The character got messy, but overall was pretty much a POS with underhanded tactics ie hostile takeovers of Jabot and Newman, manipulated Sharon into going crazy again, numerous affairs, etc. I do recall Tucker got JT full custody of Reed as JT was working for him, which ended up being a bad thing down the road.

Bill Spencer & Tucker McCall were both described as "Richard-Branson-types", but I think the problem is that Branson is not iconic enough to be a recognizable type.  I mean they both dress casually, they had those zen sand trays in their office, and both characters were involved in media companies, but there aren't a lot of defining character traits that one could pin to the CEO of Virgin Media.

If they were Bill-Gates-types or Steve-Jobs-types, then we could expect certain traits  based on those personalities (or lack there of).  But, Branson is not enough to base a character upon.  So, in the end, Tucker was ill-defined and his motives were ever changing.  Hopefully now that he's back (and wearing a tie) we'll get more insight into the character.  Many will scoff, but hope springs eternal.

    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
