Did you ever notice that Stephanie takes so long to write her press releases (because she's flirting and typing at the same time), that the news usually changes since she started the project?

e.g. Chanel's arrest and Sonny's stabbing

Susan Was supposed to be the comic relief, but the writers are so one note they try that with her being a fool who talks too much, and doesn't know anything, the fact is Susan has brains, she showed it sometimes through the years (stealing Kristen's Identity, Paying her back by selling her to The Harem, Resurrecting Will and Brainwashing him into EJ) as For Kristen she was meant to be a Criminal Mastermind with Layers, With Sincere Feelings for some people, a Complex Character, the writers just don't explore those things well enough otherwise it's probable Stacy Would've been nominated for the Emmy at least 3 times, And probably won once, she's not Eileen but she's very good

Susan made it for Marlena for her wedding day to John in 2018.  She even copied the 1999 dress from their wedding, so it's supposed to be a one-of-a-kind gift.  Susan gave it to her on screen back then and Marlena just kept it in a box all these years.  So it's odd in that it's a handcrafted doll Susan decided to make as a wedding gift, but it's not a mass market doll others can buy in Salem USA.

Lol!  I actually have one in the box that my mom bought for me in 1999/2000.    Good to know there is a market still, but I want to say they were really expensive when they came out.  Maybe even more than that lol.  There is an Erica Kane one too and I think I have that somewhere as well.

You know, there are two other gay characters out there, both of whom are absolutely perfect and absolutely gorgeous, for Sonny to cheat with, just sayin. This [!@#$%^&*] will never be believable, no matter what.

And, as much as I love Zach Tinker in the role, I have to ask, why is he always crying?

I kind of liked drunk Eric, and that jab to EJ's face was amazing  It was a side of Eric that we've never really seen before, and I hope the show delves more into it. 

Pretty much just on the Youtube channel and the Twitter page. I've seen some ads on Peacock, but they were about everything that Peacock offers, not just Days.

This is common with Ron and it's also what he's tried to do with Leo, Gwen, etc. and characters on his other shows (hence the attempts at cockeyed redemption arcs for Leo and Gwen which deliberately try to drag down more conventional protagonists to compare unfavorably with them). It's why they're trying to pair Leo with Sonny too. 'The love of a good man.'

It's not like that kind of story in soaps with reformed antagonists or schemers is not as old as the hills, BTW. That in and of itself is not a bad trope. But it's how Ron does it - and how far he takes them both before the 'redemption' and after, while vacillating and wanting the character both ways - that always wrecks the execution. And frankly Kristen cannot and should not be redeemed IMO.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
