Overall, it seems as if they've adapted well to writing and producing within the streaming format.  On network, they could build to each commercial with a suspense moment, but that's gone because it is impracticable on Peacock.  Also, it feels like there are fewer scenes per episode.  But, with daily drops, they still maintain a weekly cliffhanger which I enjoy in terms of tradition.

I feel like such a dope.  I just put it together that Marlena's return from the dead will probably coincide with her milestone 5,000th episode, which is why her obituary noted that she had been in Salem for almost half a century.

Brandaon Barash and Isabella planned to get married in December. Then they changed their minds and got married (legally) shortly after they got engaged in the summer.  They had second wedding in December as a formal occasion for everyone to attend.

Kirsten Storms (formerly Belle on Days, now Maxie on GH) and Brandon Barash were briefly together when he was playing Johnny on GH.  They have a daughter named Harper (who is now 9) and have coparented together ever since.  Kirsten said a couple of months ago that she and Brandon were friends and tried a romance but it didn't work but they've remained friends all these years.

Isabella was a camp counselor at a camp Harper attended.  Harper loved her and bonded with her first.  Brandon met her as "Harper's camp counselor".  So they met as adults who both cared about Harper.  I know Brandon is a lot older but Harper met Isa first.   The story is that Harper kept begging them to date and get married.  I saw an instagram post from Kirsten Storms indicating her approval.

When BB proposed to Isabella, he gave her a diamond ring and he gave Harper diamond earrings, because they are a family together.  

They knew each other for a while before they began dating. They dated for 2 or 3 years before he proposed. Her parents were there to assist with the surprise proposal.

So after reading the entire story, my personal opinion is that it wasn't what I had assumed at first. 

But of course I don't know anyone personally so I actually know nothing.

Forgive me for harping on the same issue repeatedly, but when I look at the Barash's wedding photos the first thing I see is my pet peeve of an aging actor with a receding hairline, still coloring his hair with a single process dye.  My tip is that if you're going to publish photos of your marriage to someone a generation younger than you, ditch the dye, it's not fooling anyone.

I know, right? This show always talks about food for some unbeknownst reason. Mayo with fries, cheeseburgers, whatever topping that fictional characters like on their damn pizza like jalapenos and pineapple, and now clam chowder. And did you actually see that slop that Sloane was picking up with her spoon? So gross. No, those weren't potatoes making it all clumpy either. It was lard. As I said before, I don't care about the character of Sloane. When that bitch propped up her nasty ass feet on the table at the Kiriakis mansion in her Zirconium high-heeled shoes near all that breakfast food, I was immediately disgusted. If DAYS is trying to make Sloane a villianess or whatever, I won't back her up. And that's a shame too, as I'm the best person to have in your corner, lol!

Brandon Barash seriously needs a pedicure. He needs to use toenail clippers instead of tearing them off with his fingernails. I don't have foot fetish or anything. I mean, Brandon doesn't have scary feet unlike Eric Martsolf, but yeah, a trip to the nail and spa salon is seriously in order.

So glad that I’m now able to watch Days before I go to work.

It was great hearing Vivian today. She totally had a point though. Stefan loved his mother and since he came back, he hasn’t gone to see her? I’d be pissed off too

I see when Jack was going through Gwen’s list of crimes, he left out causing Laura’s death. Gee, I wonder why it was written like that. Is Gwen the new Ben?

I was totally Team Jack in his scenes with Gwen, even though I admit I probably would feel differently if those scenes were about other characters, storylines, etc. He’s given her one too many chances. You could only push someone so far before they push back.

Which could also be said for Xander in his scenes with Leo. I admit, I thought all the touching was hot  But I did also think Xander was a little justified in threatening and trying to strangle Leo. The scenes as a whole seemed a little random though. I thought we were passed all the rapey blackmail/prostituting  stuff. 

I think they were at first, but then they changed their minds and gave her more layers. I’m glad that they did though

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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!

      Your daily (or nightly) thought

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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?
