And here's what confuses me: What the hell does this home slice need? To me, he's like a total Phillip Kiriakis or Chloe ... What's her last name again? Is it Lane? But anywhoos. But yeah, I can't take home slice seriously enough. Will he be written off again? Do we care enough?

Yes, Chloe Lane played by Nadia Bjorlin, one of the world's most beautiful women, who I am told is actually more beautiful than the camera shows, and who I am told is a very real, grounded person & not stuck up because of her looks. Chloe is Nancy & Craig's daughter, one of them. She has a son Parker who we can only guess is in  boarding school. She never sees him or mentions him. 

If you ask me, Tripp needs to be at work as a doctor, to have a girlfriend, for his mother not to be crazy which he is out of luck on. He grew up without being in touch with either his mother, Ava, or his father, Patch. I think he struggles with how to act & how to be around people. He's a good boy. When he & Allie were together they had an active sex life, but then he lost her to a woman, so no telling if that works on him. He made the utmost sacrifice & took the devil out of Allie & then jumped 4 floors to his death. He was brought back to life. This stuff has to have warped him. I really like Tripp. Most people do not.

OMG. I saw Zach Tinker on Fire Country! Good for him! I feel like his character (I haven't read spoilers) may have a backstory besides putting out fires every damn day. I'll find out next season hopefully.

Going back to DAYS, I guess Allie makes her "life decision" after breaking up with Chanel a nanosecond later.

Ralphie's aunt went to a lot of trouble to make him that bunny outfit too and it belonged in the trash lol.

I liked the town square when they first debuted it but then they cut it in half and I don't like it. It doesn't look like a real square, it's small, the plastic tree in the middle is ugly, there's linoleum where a blacktop should be and the streetlights contradict it being an indoor covered plaza hence weather not affecting it and no one ever wearing seasonally appropriate clothing.

I just don't like it lol.

I say blow it up, redesign and call it Salem Place with Tom and Alice's plaque as the only surviving piece of the town square falling into a sinkhole after the bombs go off.

DAYS insta is promoting the return of Bo & Hope in March with a daily trivia quiz.  But, does anyone else think this fact is a bad idea to use as promotion in 2023?

Maybe their social media team should take a second pass before tomorrow's question about where Hope lost her virginity...

Okay. All good reasons. I don't personally hate it as you do, but I can't dispute your reasons. They fact. 

Maybe they should have let Paulina do it in for "Pricetown". ACK NOT

You were probably kidding, but I wouldn't put it past them to ask something like that. Hope lost her virginity at a former slave plantation.  Will the social media team know that?
When Ben and Ciara visited Oak Alley, one episode had a guide explain to them the real history of the place and slavery.  I'm not into Ben and Ciara but I watched that episode out of curiosity about how the show would deal with Oak Alley.
But would the current social media team know this? Probably not.

    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.

    • When written correctly or played correctly the antagonist will often have a sizable following, although this can go too far. It's why having a balance and allowing your heroes to be called out by other characters is so important. Speaking of that, I did not realize Sonni got a lengthy montage when Michelle Forbes left, or that Pam Long was willing to showcase Sonni/Josh so much for her farewell. The care taken reminds me of when Anne Heche left AW a few years later. Given that Sonni was brought in an as interloper, it shows just how much respect the show had for Michelle's talents and how much she captivated viewers in those two years.

        Oh I think Holly gives Blake a smack in the mouth. I think it was during Liz's early days as Blake as that is when they become estranged for a good while, although I may be wrong.
    • Billy slapping Mindy is a turning point in '90. And I feel there was a slap between Holly and Blake during the Ross thing.
    • That definitely was her voice. 
    • I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June
