The unoriginal Mr. Griffith.
When Josh Griffith was HW at Days, for the Days 50th anniversary in Nov. 2015, he wrote a bicentennial for Salem.  Which was dumb because a Salem bicentennial had already aired on DAYS in July 2003 and nobody checked.

Seeing Mamie back at the Abbott's warms my heart. It would be a total misuse of her, especially with her own extended family out there, but if I still watched this awful show, I wouldn't mind Mamie moving back in with the Abbott's and serving as a recurring support system for them - kind of the reverse of the purpose Dena served just a few years back.

Spoiler for week of March 20: "Jack receives a surprise houseguest."
 
Will Mrs. Martinez be shown serving breakfast to Mamie? 
(Has Mrs. Martinez ever been shown or just talked about?)
Will Mamie advise Mrs. Martinez to ask for a raise and vacation pay/time to travel?
I have questions!

I have this imaginary headcanon that the Queen, the Legendary, the great Mamie Johnson is now fabulously wealthy.  But her loving heart has only grown.  Maybe she runs a foundation.

Mrs Martinez has been seen occasionally over the years played by different actresses I think, but not since pre COVID

It's ridiculous she is not seen more often. It would only have to be once every few months.

Jill paying off Mamie was an awful story. It happened so quickly and was out of character. It might have worked had they delved into it more.

It's so stupid lol

I gotta know: have they been mentioning the bicentennial in the lead up to it?

Nikki would not give two shîts about Genoa City's bicentennial. Veronica Reed does indeed look great.

And I'm really not trying to be a dîck but every single person in that preview was over 60. Is this show just utterly uninterested in generational storytelling?

They're scared to focus on the young ones because the longterm viewers might switch off.

See- Reed,Mattie, Charlie, Ana, Fen, Faith, Moses,Noah,Ally etc

The bicentennial idea is crap-that's 200 years so nothing to do with 50 anyway. So then why not celebrate Jabot's 60th or 70th- at least that ties in with something viewers can relate to, although Jabot has been ignored for years in favor of these 'trendy' media companies.

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
    • I need to go and find less.
