Frances was driven to the studio in a limo on numerous parking lists I have from the early 2000's, so I'm sure she was in first class on a plane! She was very active in the unions, so I'm sure she was also pretty particular in her contracts and made sure to have things like that in them.

I know we’ve been through this before with DAYS, but it seems like we just had a completely unnecessary mass exodus of characters in the last week or so. And today being reminded that Leo and Dimitri are still on canvas and are being presented as a happy couple, I just had to roll my eyes and sigh. Also Clyde unnecessarily being back in the thick of things.

Can Lucas ever get out of prison? No one in Salem serves terms this long. Kate needs her favorite son back in town.

Well, he’s not the first soap writer that’s been obsessed with his own awful character and I’m sure he won’t be the last.

Plus, Greg Rikaart really isn’t in much demand, like Chandler, Zach, etc. are

True

Just read that Zach Tinker just finished his new movie.

I loathe them as a couple. Such an awful pairing.

Yet killers and other kidnappers like Xander are running around town living their lives free. Ridiculous!!

DEIDRE HALL APPEARS IN 12 EPISODES IN A MONTH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2021...LAUREN KOSLOW APPEARS IN 12 EPISODES IN A MONTH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019...

Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Lauren Koslow (Kate) have now appeared in 12 of the first 13 episodes in October 2023, including the last 10 episodes in a row. It is the first time for Hall to appear in that many episodes since 2021, and for Koslow since 2019. There are still 9 episodes to air in October, so how high will their episode rankings be?? It is too time-consuming to check, but this is also the first time probably in a long time that two actors have appeared in 10 episodes straight.

Leo makes me sick and Peter Porte deserves so much better than what he’s getting. That’s all I got for that [!@#$%^&*]. 

Tate/Holly were the best part of today. The kid playing Tate is actually pretty good and I enjoyed his scenes with Eric Martsolf. What Tate brought up about Brady and his parenting is actually a pretty good dynamic that should be explored. Same can be said for Holly’s dislike of Rachel. But I think today was a Jamey episode, so of course, any good dynamic will never be brought up again. 

And, sorry to say it but I would not mind Holly breaking that little demon’s face

All this stuff with Tate and Holly could have such a ripple effect on so many storylines, including their own, and it really looks like both actors can pull it off. I hope Days plays that for all that it can be. 

And, as much as I don’t like Kristen, I do gotta say that Christopher is a much better name than Tate

Agreed that I don't enjoy the silliness of Leo.  I actually think that there is a story to be mined from a lonely gay man living in a small town, but that's not where his character goes.

My practical question is where does he keep the myriad of wigs that he seems to have available at a moment's notice?

This already ties her for the 2023 monthly lead with Greg Vaughan (Eric), who appeared in 13 episodes in March 2023. With 8 more episodes to air this month, how many more will Koslow appear in?? No one has appeared in 16 episodes since July 2020.

Kate pops up again in today's show.

Leo and Dimitri need to just leave. Why would anyone root for these two losers?

Both are insufferable.

I'm enjoying Tate and Holly.

The Dimera shares nonsense needs to stop. Why focus on it when we never see them working there? No one cares!!

Kudos to the University Hospital Surgical team!

Dimitri was shot in the back last week, and today there's not a scratch on him, no tubes attached, and he's ready to be transported to jail.

If we've learned one thing this week, it is that short staffing destroys efficiency.  Salem PD hires a middle-aged vet straight from the sanitarium, next thing you know they've lost one of their most wanted criminals.  University Hospital hires a new doctor who conspired to drug the whole town's biscuit supply, a week later she has a drunken one-night stand and quits.  The Brady Pub hires an underage bar back, now the only customers are his grandmother and the owner's wife.

I'm surprised that DAYS is not sponsored by Zip Recruiter.

The only story I want to see for Leo now is his death

If anything, I’d say the story lies with Dimitri and his relationship with Megan, or with his father, why he was closeted, a former relationship, etc.

    • 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.

    • 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.
