Really enjoyed the Christmas episode, so I'm looking forward to viewing todays episode and the Victor tribute. DAYS is one of the last few soaps left that still has the capability to be written with heart. 

Speaking of the xmas episode, I'm not usually fond of ghostly visits, when used by Ron on this soap. I think he uses it way too often and as a substitute to move a plot along. However the visit from Abigail this Christmas was written unlike the other ones, instead was treated with care and the dialogue wasn't as clunky. It just seems like out of all the ghostly visits Ron has written on this show, this was the most justified and gave closure.

Thanks. 

I still don't get it though lol NBC wasn't ready for a little butt, which was never going to be shown on the network anyway, but were ready for things like Abby and EJ in the shower

Also want to say that the tributes to John Aniston that are being posted on the Days Youtube channel are lovely.

I think the episode, for John Aniston, was a good one to go out on. He had several zingers delivered in his trademark style. 

The memoriam at the end of the episode was lovingly done. Corday/DAYS clearly held him in high regard and I enjoyed that everyone who shared significant story with him over the years was acknowledged.

Two polar opposite statements by you. It does mean Days is capable of delivering with heart instead of the wink wink mean spirited stories don't make sense episodes. The problem is Ron Carlivati does not care. He has blatantly said it in interviews. He does not care what the audience wants in a soap. 

I still haven't watched Friday or today's yet. I hope to later tonight.

Just saw the Victor tribute.

 

I've never seen early Victor. And he definitely had charisma from GO. They touched on so much...though I never knew all of his 'women' were on at one point a la Asa's OLTL wives. Interesting that outside of Caroline and Maggie, they touched on Vivian so much. 

 

And my eyes teared up to see him with Hope. 

 

OH?

Regarding the Sonny/Will/Leo story...

I'm of two minds in this regard...

On one hand I totally understand Will's reaction and it's a completely justified reaction. After what Leo has done to Sonny, why in the hell would Sonny what to have anything to do with him? It makes no rational sense and no matter how much the show wants to twist it around the idea of Sonny being friends with Leo is just plain stupid. Yeah, Sonny has always been a person who always tries to see the good in people...but c'mon...this is taking it to the extreme. I was glad when Will walked out on Sonny when Sonny decided it was more important to keep his promise to Leo over his husband's completely understandable request for Leo to leave.

But on the other hand...

How exactly is Will in the position at being upset over Sonny's new "friendship" with Leo when Will himself is friends with Ben Weston? I mean for all of Leo's flaws and reckless behavior it doesn't even come close to matching the level of violence Ben did to towards Will. And don't give me this crap "But oh Ben was sick." that still doesn't take away his actions and the emotional pain that came from it. And yet Will forgave him, was best man at his wedding and had a "tearful" goodbye scene when Ben left Salem and so on and so forth. I mean if Will can forgive Ben - which of course makes absolutely no sense - then Sonny should be able to forgive and be friends with Leo?

Now that being said the idea of Sonny and Will having any type of relationship with Leo or Ben is just completely stupid. At this point I completely understand why the show wrote Wilson off. They have no idea what to write for this couple outside of dumb crap.

Now that all being said let's take a moment to enjoy the yummiest that is Zack Tinker (Sonny)

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
