Today’s show again reminds me of how isolated (and well, pointless lol) the Newmans have become from the rest of the show. Other than Nate and Audra as interlopers, there’s literally nothing going on here with Victor’s scheme being essentially stillborn/DOA from the get go.

I hate to say it...but I've been enjoying it as of late.

 

It goes without saying how much I love the Mamie storyline. 

 

The Claire storyline has been intriguing to me. Like I mentioned in the Spoilers thread, I just feel like HK has been giving off a psycho vibe. So watching her being slooowwly introduced (remember when soaps did that with a new character?) has been giving old Y&R.

 

Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy Heather/Daniel/Lily triangle that has been slowly building. And now Lily knows Heather is moving to town. Uh oh.

 

We know I love the Abbotts and am looking forward to what appears to be Diane/Kyle vs Billy with Jack in the middle. 

 

And yeeeeah, even the Newmans are slowly starting to get interesting again. Victor is TOTALLY faking this illness. That scene with him and Nick (mmmm Nick) after he made another slip was telling. To what end though? And then there's the stuff with Claire so Nikki will be kept busy. And I can even tolerate Nick/Sally/Adam again even though it seems clear Sally/Adam are heading back to each other. 

 

And I actually enjoyed Phyllis getting the upper hand on Tucker. Nice ending. 

 

I think the only thing I'm missing right now is more of Summer/Chance/Sharon.

Hehe. Probably more than I should be. He definitely looked good in that tanktop more than he did since he returned from his trip.

 

I thought it was so 'like father, like son' that he was at the punching bag like how Victor tends to be. Has Nick ever done that? I know he goes to the gym, but I can't seem to remember if he and Victor has done the punching bag at the same time.

 

He's getting that way. Which tbf is how Tucker SHOULD be.

 

But is he really in the Newmans storyline at the moment? I don't think he is.

Oooooo Audra vs Phyllis!!! That was some bitcafest chemistry right there. Well done to AS who I felt was denied a rivalry with AL's Summer so it was nice to see some hint of chemistry with her and MS. And they both looked good as they verbally sparred with each other in Tucker's hotel room. It was what I expected with Audra and Nikki when Nikki found out about Kyle and Audra, but Audra folded too quickly.

 

And yeeesss at these Mamie/Nate scenes. They are really using Mamie to get into Nate's head. And I loved that she touched on Nate might have moved too fast, too soon during the Chanceller takedown #shadesofimani. I also thought it was slightly meta that she said what I feel we all think...Victor would only give Nate's crumbs even if he married Victoria...kinda like black characters in general on soaps when it comes to story. Though Mamie's dislike of Jill will always be a hoot. Or her shade in conversation. In any case, the humanizing of Nate continues.

 

Ugh! Shut up, Kyle. Such a baby now. 

 

I missed it.

Ik. No worries.

 

I would assume it's from Jill making him pay for cheating on her when he was originally WITH Jill back in the day. So there will always be that. And we know Jill holds a grudge.

    • 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
