@soapfan770Although the BTS BS is intriguing, I try to only engage with what is happening on-screen when I watch.  To me, the stuff about the producer is like listening to a stranger's office gossip.  I'm in it for my own bad predictions about what's going to happen, and reading @AbcNbc247 morning summation.

Good cliffhanger. I guess there are some benefits to not reading spoilers lol 

I think we all knew both characters were full of crap but I had no idea that they were working together. This is another storyline that I hope isn’t ruined and rushed because the effects of this can play out for a while. 

Same can be said for Xander and Sarah and the custody fight, and the way that it could be tied to other characters and storylines. It’s better than having everyone in their own little story bubbles with no interaction with each other. 

And, I love how everything was fine at the hospital like there wasn’t just a massive security breach and a prisoner escaping. Here’s to hoping Steve beats the crap out of Leo and Dimitri if he finds them. 

Btw, I should’ve said this yesterday, but wtf is this fascination with handcuffing people to beds? Is that another Jamey trademark?

Stefan and Gabi need a cause.

The whole idea that they want everyone's voting shares would make sense if we knew the issue for which the board is voting.  For example, if EJ wanted the board to fund Dr. Rolf's Youth Serum, and Stefan wanted them to back his idea to build Dimera Mobile Mausoleums, then we would know what they're fighting about (of course, Kristin would pitch low cost latex masks or pre-fab underground tunnels).  BTW, she quickly dropped her desire for power in the company once Megan died.

As it stands, I have no idea who to root for in this argument.  Because both parties seem ill-suited to run the company, and there's no logical reason that they couldn't manage it together. 

We never see them actually go to the office.  Unlike, Titan, it is still unclear what their company does (shipping?, drugs?, films?)  There's never been a scene where one man was an impediment to the other.  And, everyone seems to have forgotten that the mansion only belongs to the CEO, so they'll all still be rich and have a house no matter who wins the vote.

Where's the conflict? When is this stupid vote going to happen? And, while Tate's whining about not seeing his Dad in two years, has Gabi even FaceTimed her daughter since she moved to New Zealand?

Oh, yeah, much less than 6 months. I can't wait till the show gets really past some of this!

I love Tamara Braun but as much as I love her that much is how much I dislike Steve Burton. It was bad enough when the show wasted her just making pasta for Rafe every day & having sex every night. Now because Alarr wanted it we have to see a romance between Harris & Ava. 

Some people say that we lost Lindsay Arnold because of him. We know he was why we're losing Martha Madison. 

I also hope that someone makes some interesting statements tomorrow! If Day Of Days 2023 isn't the right time for a pep talk on the future of the show, the balance of Season 59 & the exciting Season 60 I don't know when would be the time! 

The only thing I liked today was that Greg Vaughn just looks at Ari like Eric is still in love with her. 

But I also did not hate today, and there's that, right?

You're correct, it was so quick that I forgot.  But, I think you understand my point that once Megan went vamoosh, Kristen seemed to have lost interest in running Dimera, she was more interested in the potential for Dimitri's money than her father's company.

I just realized that Holly has an awful accent. What is it? I hope they put her with an acting coach & try to get rid of it. She is young enough that it would probably be good for her future career.

I find myself comparing Charlotte/GH to Holly/DAYS. So far I think the new teens are good. 

I think Tate is so realistic. And, his scene with Brady was very good. Laughed at him saying that washing dishes is embarrassing. HUH? What's embarrassing about it? 

DAYS went all the way around the world practically to justify having Theresa move in with Alex! And then he invited her on the basis of her fine taste in china. Now that's a new one!

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Tisy-Lish · Posted

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
