Wow...they dragged Zende and Paris out of the backrooms of Forrester! When was the last time we saw them? January??

The room for the fashion show did look small, but I know budgets aren't what they used to be. 

I love Esther, but still don't understand how she ended up there...or why we're getting so much story about Charlie all of a sudden. 

Thomas and Hope were MIA which also doesn't make much sense...budget I assume.

I still predict that Eric will win the fashion show and collapse immediately afterwards.

Oh, how I just hollered at Katie just walking in as Eric said he was dying. This kind of thing happens to her a LOT, doesn't it? lol.

 

But is JMc retiring or something? I admit that I feel invested. And these scenes with Eric and Donna have been interesting.

 

My hate of Liam is GROWING. Sniffing around Steffy. Messaging her. Ridge not knowing he messaged Steffy. Just ugh. Go away!!!

Same here. I love the actor, but the character has entered the "beyond annoying" realm. Maybe if they Jason Morgan him and have his entire memory wiped out. LOL. But, Liam as a character just feels done.

Zende gave Luna the once over with an interested look. MAYBE they're thinking of using him as part of a triangle with RJ and Luna. It's a shame they don't do more with the character. The actor is gorgeous.

I have completely missed all of it.  But - the fashion show flop thing has happened for awhile.  Remember the big show in Monaco wherever they were - Sally Spectra vs. Steffy?  And then it was Bill engineered the big cheat because Sally actually won - so he had to say "everyone is a winner, so why choose one?"  After all of that.  Flop.  And they never addressed it.  The continuity on this show and just dropping things has been a staple for years now - it makes 'none of it matter.'

Sadly, they already did that story when he was Adam. But I agree he needs some kind of reset/reboot cuz this version is loathesome. Moreso because every character already call him out on him sniffing around Steffy before the paint was even dry on his divorce from Hope.

 

Oh...? Isn't Zende out of that age group? And I agree they could do more with him? I always said that Zende vs Thomas was the way to go since the writers gave bread crumbs from time to time that there was tension there since they are both designers. And then you have Paris who was close to Thomas, too. Zende/Paris/Thomas should have been the triangle...not Zende/Paris/Carter.

Well, I can see why. Decades...I mean years...waffling...I bet SC was bored. So something fresh. Kinda like how MB felt about playing Mike on GH for months in Nixon Falls. 

 

Yeah...I don't want Dollar Bill gone. But Li's family is rising...so a family has to go and it won't be the Forresters or Logans. Or perhaps they will finally put Dollar Bill with Li.

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
