Well, at least the Spectator finally has an office

Jada should still be in Eric’s orbit and should still be pregnant with his baby. That would be a lot better to see than whatever the hell’s going on between her and Rafe right now. The pregnancy could have also been the thing that brought Talia to Salem, instead of whatever’s going to happen.

Chad was stupid today. Uncharacteristically stupid. I still like Chad and Stephanie but they can come up with much better conflict for them then this. And agreed with Chad that Alex is a douchebag. Yes, he actually said the word

And I see they’re trying to make Maggie the villain, but it’s not going to work. I don’t care what she does, nothing will ever make me Team Alex.

Yes, the spectator has the usual conference room/office set with two partitions.  Peacock $$$

I still can't believe how badly the show dropped the ball with Jada's pregnancy.  I remember you and I were convinced she was still pregnant and lied about the abortion, but apparently we have more creative minds than Ron.   The conversation between Rafe/Jada was so awkward.  Why is Rafe so weird?  He's a man who's been married multiple times why is he acting like a teenager?

I don't necessarily think Maggie is supposed to be the villian.  It seems like her plans for the company are well thought out.  But if that is the intent it won't work for me either.  I am not going to ever be sad Alex the nepobaby doesn't get to run the entire company.

It's weird Chanel can't hire a single employee lol.  I would assume the business would be separate from her personal assets, but what do I know?

It would have been a lot better than this conflict of interest stuff lol 

I like messes and Eric, in love with Nicole but angry at her, sleeping with Sloan and also about to be a father would have been a pretty good mess. Jada could have been conflicted about how Eric is acting and could be questioning whether or not she wants to shut Eric out of the baby’s life, she could be lashing out at Sloan and Nicole, weaving Talia into it, etc. Rafe could still be a part of it, just have him be secondary in the story

As for Maggie, if she was playing against any other actor/character, I’d agree with you about her not really being written as the villain, but with RSW, I’m not so sure. The agendas in the writing has been evident for years now.

You mean you didn't find Rafe/Jada's playful banter about whether or not eating at the Pub was a date super adorable and compelling lol?  Nicole/Eric breaking up, Eric making poor choices, and Jada questioning Eric's parenting ability/sobriety clearly would have been less interesting 

I am no Maggie fan, but she has shown adeptness at running businesses before even though they were restaurants.  Alex seems to just sexually harass his employees and we are just told he's good at business.  I don't feel any sympathy for him, but I suppose the audience might.  But, like you said, Chad spilling intimate details about Stephanie/Alex's breakup doesn't bode well for Alex being the heavy in anything.

Since the Victor/Maggie pairing, I've always thought it could be a great story that Maggie finds herself getting deeper into the Kiriakis fold and way of thinking, slowly losing her morals and sense of self more and more. Play on her insecurities that have been a part of her character since she started on the show. Have her slowly lose her friends, her daughters, especially Melissa, being cautious of the relationship forming on the heels of Mickey's death and then downright against it. Maggie becoming hard faced, cynical, vengeful at times. The irony being, her changes in personality start to turn Victor off and eventually he starts treats her like he has the past women in his life, she's becomes completely alone and falls apart. Once Victor is done with her, she's completely and utterly alone. The drink gets the best of her again. So much could have been done.

    • 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
