Finally, if Li and Wendy come from a rich family, why don't they have nicer accommodations?

I just assume that Li is a cheap ass 😂😂

Wendy runs the DiMera IT department. It's stupid that she's still sleeping on Allie's couch after months of being in Salem.

You'd think she could afford her own place by now.  I get that they want all the young people living together but she should be able to afford something with her own bedroom.

Well, he's been in Salem for so long now and he's still living at the inn. What other reason is there? 😂😂

Oh I get it. I would never date a cheap guy.😂

Also, I wonder if Marlena's age wasn't mentioned in her obit because if it has taken two weeks to advance two days in the Salem universe, perhaps in that timeline she's still in her 30s?

I just assume no one actually knows Marlena's real age lol.  And if they do they aren't telling.

And, that's a fact! 🤨👑🍓

Marlena's obit was crap because Gwen Rizczech wrote it. She runs the Spectator now. (Well Jack just fired her but she was running it when the obit ran).

I figure as a Brit who doesn't think very much of us on this side of the pond that she's got Idiom block, or is that Idiot Block? Don't even get me started on Jack giving her Abby's job basically. 🤬

I get the disdain for the character of Gwen based upon her egregious crimes, but to me, Emily O'Brien is so damn charming that I enjoy watching her on screen.  And, at least they haven't fallen into the soap trap of calling her Gwen Deveraux.

I was also a fan of Anne-Marie Martin's Gwen Davies, so it may be that I just have an affinity for the name.

I predict a troll will respond to this post using an insensitive pejorative, let's see how long it takes...

I loved Gwen Davies! Amazing actress, woman, character. Can't stand Rice Chex.

I think Emily O'Brien is very capable and her Gwen was a breath of fresh air when she first came on. The writing has done her no favors since, however.

I loved Gwen Davies, too.

Poor Kayla, lol! I wish she could see how bad her children have been grieving since her "death". 😄

I had wondered about that & had lost track! 

I would be glad to ignore you if you would return the favor. But, don't tell lies & inaccuracies about me or what I post. We can agree to disagree & that would be great. And, listen, you can set it up to literally ignore me so you won't be bothered. 

Nope. I will constantly call you out for the misinformation that you post. Explain to us the metrics you post. How is Days still # whatever on NBC when Days is not on NBC anymore? It's Peacock Exclusive. Days is not on NBC, not on NBC on Demand or on the NBC app. Back up the data that you post. Is Days still on NBC?

No, of course, DOOL is not on NBC. However, it is listed in comparison with other NBC shows in the data as shown. I posted the address. You can see it there for yourself. 

These metrics are not as good as good old-fashioned Nielsen ratings used to be to us but they do give us some ideas about where things stand. B&B never breaks through the total number of shows they consider, so they never show up in these metrics. They beat us up in international waters, so to speak, but they do not come out to play here. Otherwise, soaps are doing okay & a rising tide lifts all boats. DOOL is consistently the #1 or #2 show for peacock & that's great for us & we want to hold that position. GH is always the #1 soap & we battle it out with Y&R for which is the #2 slot. They win it more than we do.

Rather than being ratings, which do not apply to streaming, this calls itself "Metrics of online audience engagement" which is also something you can see for yourself should you look at the website. 

Pass around what you're smoking, Donna. Streaming is everything and this site doesn't consider shows like B&B yet you post this stuff as truth? Shameful.

You know I don't mean to tell you how to do your business. You're the acknowledged expert when it comes to being a bully, calling names, trolling aggressive behavior toward other posters, but you really seem to be slipping, losing your grip maybe. I did not say that B&B is not considered. B&B simply does not make the cut. And, there's certainly nothing shameful in anything I ever post.
