I'm good. I'm still a clown. As Jinkx Monsoon says, "Water off a duck's back." It's not even worth the momentary cerebral effort. But, hey! Let's talk about DAYS! Oh my God. That rhymes. Genius!

Unless Sloan's mom is a doctor, but I don't think they said?  I was thinking Talia was maybe involved with Sloan's brother and they aren't trying to frame Sloan, but destroy Chanel.  Or the brother is blackmailing her over a medical mistake or something?  Talia has already become 100% more interesting than Jada IMO.

That post that Errol referenced is not still not okay with me. At all.  I found it extremely upsetting.  Errol deleted my objection, so I won't restate here the specifics.  I just wanted to go on record.  There is nothing more to be said about it here.  I have communicated with Errol further via private message.

I’ll give them that; I didn’t see it coming either

But good God, yesterday was a mess. Tying it back to the posts about ideas and executions, this just might have been one of the worst executions of an idea that I’ve ever seen.

It's too bad because if the show played it less campy and less quickly (I know impossible for Ron), the stakes could have been much higher and it could have put a wrench in a lot of current stories, but now everyone knows they were drugged I assume it's basically over.  That begs the question as to why it happened in the first place.

I like Noel. That's his whit humor. 

That said I understand how you and others might have found it offensive. I do feel your pain when you feel you aren't being heard. The board needs an overhaul where moderating is concerned. Posters can continue trashing the board and other posters yet still continue to post on here. I'm not even referring to Noel. 

But I understand how the game is played here.

The show would be better as a whole if everything was less campy and less quickly, IMO. Everybody seems to forget that it's a soap, things are supposed to take time. It's like they really want to turn it into a primetime reality show and when a soap copies a different medium, it almost never works. 1994 B&B immediately springs to mind.

It's well past the time for a change in the writers room. Not even just Ron and Jamey. I feel like a lot of them need to be sent packing.

Sweetie. I'm fine. I don't go through things with animosity in real life. In real-life, I'm an advocate for civil rights, LGBTQ rights, or any other types of social discrimination and I support their causes. Periodt. I've also conducted ageism research, but the thing about me is that I know who am I am. Sure, I'm a sarcastic sh*t, but it makes me pretty. I don't need strangers from a far away land tell me who I am. They do not get to define me. No way, no how. I ain't got no tea, no shade, no pink lemonade. Let their issues with me be theirs as it's none of my business. 

That being said, I just think that there are things that we may not know especially when it comes to what other people may be stuggling or going through? You know? Because we don't know. When I come to this board, it's all about escapism. I'm not mixing real-world situations into soaps. I said two days ago that Victor Cassadine on GH is savage as he just shoots people with guns. Does this mean I'm going to be berated by strangers on here asking me what the f*ck is wrong with me because I don't support safer gun laws? 

I know my real-world facts from low-budget fiction, okay? Trust me, I know. I don't need a stranger from a far, far, far away trailer tell me who I am.

Days is garbage!  There are zero character driven stories. The show is all about one liners, brainwashing and tainted biscuits. Ron considers Days a joke and that's how he is writing it.

    • Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

    • I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic. 
    • Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!  
    • Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?
    • So I was reminded that we're now meant to be celebrating PRIDE by this amazing post:

    • RIP to our hero, John Black

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
