Queen Sugar is an excellent series on OWN.  If you don't get the OWN network, you can watch the first 6 seasons on Hulu.  And you can purchase season 7 via amazon prime video.  It's a great series about a Black family in New Orleans.

Greg Vaughan played one of the only white characters in Queen Sugar.  His character Calvin was paired with the lead female character Nova (Rutina Wesley) for several years.  That pairing was popular. I loved them!

I think DAYS gave it no thought and said, oh we can just duplicate that... by doing an interracial relationship plug and play - by putting Eric with Jada. No relationship development at all, just put them together.  I love GV and I loved the Calvin/Nova pairing on Queen Sugar.  But you can't just do random plugandplay interracial representation without any thought.

Yes!  Not to mention it seems so strange Eric entered what I can only consider at this point to be a casual sexual/romantic relationship so fast.  The man got fired from the PRIESTHOOD like 6 months ago.  Did Eric/Jada do anything more than share a run and coffee before they jumped into bed together lol?

I've also said that this on Twitter, but it seems Jada is more of a placeholder to be the third wheel on the road to reconciliation of Eric and Nicole. I would like to see Jada become her own character as well. I would like her to have more scenes with Steve and Kayla. In addition to her building a friendship with Stephanie as well. I love her connection of being Marcus' daughter, but I want more too. And who is her mother? Is it going to turn out to be Gail, Faith or someone else entirely?

I didn't mind the Anniversary tribute. It wasn't a landmark anni so that little tribute was enough for me.

It would have been all the better if Maree Cheathem was there, Days only original Horton.

. Had Marie been included over the years she could have been in town and having lunch with Doug and Julie when the shoplifting thing happened and she could have recalled it as she was actually there.

After today, I rest my case about unlikable characters being shoved down our throats.

Leo's pity party did nothing for me. Being lonely and not having any gay male friends to go out with is still no excuse to be an [!@#$%^&*]. And all that talk about what a great guy Sonny is, there's no one else in Salem that he could have gone out with?? Zach Tinker deserves so much better than what he's getting

And, Alex still comes off like a creepy predator villain.

 

And they're all perfectly fine, as though being possessed is a common occurrence

It just sucks because there are so many missed opportunities. 

You're right that they need to develop Jada more. We all want Eric and Nicole to be endgame, but they didn't need rush through Eric/Jada. They could have spent more time building their relationship. And if you ask me, they should have built up some kind of friendship between her and Shawn. They did have chemistry in their scenes together. Which Belle could have noticed as well and prompted her to continue her affair with EJ, which Ava could have exposed to get revenge on EJ instead of this kidnapping crap that we're seeing now. 

Too many missed opportunities.

I wish they'd bring her back for visits at least. The only surviving actor from the first episode and she's never been in any anniversary episodes.

If Leo had just come back like this after the Diane/John story I think it could have worked.  I honestly felt some sympathy for him at the end when he thought/hoped John was his father.  He even was the hero (sorta) in Beyond Salem.  Honestly, I can't take him seriously now.   And it's not like the show couldn't cast another guy (or bring back Paul) for Sonny.

    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.
