Thank you. As you probably know Jamey is a darling to many on #SoapTwitter. I like the fact that he does in-jokes & drops in references to other soaps. I like the fact that he admires Irna to a huge degree, quotes her & writes like she did (And Bill & Agnes did) where he talks it all out using different character voices before he types it. And, after those two things I just can't figure how he got hired. Apparently you've known all this time!

See? I knew a straight girl like Talia had feelings for Chanel when she saw her in a Forever 21 dress as she walked into Small Bar. I knew it. Weirdly, Talia is serving her community service so quickly, while Kate still hasn't even lifted a finger to do hers. Just because Kate is a white girl, had some sickly virus, and was comatose for several months does not give her a pass. Bitch still needs to do her community service. Do you know what I'm saying? Mmmm-hmm.

The fireworks were so explosive for the 4th this year in Salem. It felt like I was watching them on television, all bored and alone with a box of stale Fiddle Faddle and no friends to celebrate the holiday with. Instead, I'm in the recliner, flipping the remote with my feline companion, Mr. Mittens. Only this sneaky little bastard wants cat nip, so he's pretending to be my companion. I know his little deviant ways.

I don't know what's so great about Sweet Bits. Was Chanel paying Talia a salary? If it was a wage, then, girl, it's time to move on, unless making bear claws is a way to be back in Paulina's sweet graces. That woman can scarf down some bear claws, let me tell you. Other than that, it was a ho-hum episode of DAYS, and I hope Abe will not be struck with a blunt object on the back of his head again because he's already endured a baseball bat and a rolling pen so far within a year. One more of these instances will lead Abe to suffer severe brain damage.

So, Megan’s gone? Just like that? 

I’m sure she’ll be back soon but I still don’t get it. I really hope we find out what’s going on behind the scenes and who’s making all these stupid decisions. Not only for this, but for Bo and Hope’s disappearance as well. 

She really should be on the canvas full time, especially now because Dimitri’s story is starting to pick up. The two of them were good today and I was hoping that their mother-son dynamic would be explored more. Both now and when it’s revealed what I still think is going to be revealed about Dimitri in the future.

I knew she was leaving soon. Another reason I stopped watching and others did too. She told her fans to keep watching. She would've loved to have stayed but hasn't been offered a contract to do so.

Yeah, I've become "weary" of how villainesses are portrayed in soaps nowadays. My gut says not to become too attached, as they'll be gone in a puff or poof of an instant. Who knows? Maybe Jan's coming back with a bag of poisonous cheeseburgers .

I guess Steve Burton isn't concerned about getting typecast as a mindless goon who is easily manipulated into becoming a contract killer.  Someone should tell him that it is not a compliment to his talent that he keeps getting parts as an emotionally detached guy recovering from brain surgery.    

When Marlena's hypnotic abilities become a magical healing power?  She's like the good-Rolf, without the need for all that equipment.

Speaking of equipment, is anyone going to investigate how Li got a hold of plutonium for Rolf?  Certainly, that's a crime in and of itself.

When did Kristin decide to wear black leather every day, in the summer?

Speaking of fetishes, DAYS has a thing with handcuffing people to beds.

One of the biggest problems with DAYS is the constant in-and-out of major characters

It reeks of money problems, it reeks of writer ADHD, it reeks of treating actors horribly, it reeks of "Let's do something soaps have never done."

I cannot get used to it, and I never will.

It’s stupid.

If they’re so cash strapped, wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in the actors and characters that you already have instead of cycling more people in and out? 

For a while, I even thought that if they were keeping Megan around, maybe that was the reason why the Bo and Hope story was botched, but my suspicions were clearly wrong lol

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
