Members AbcNbc247 Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) I liked Eric and Brady’s conversation today. It’s always good to see Brady confiding in someone about how he feels he failing as a parent. It could be used to play into future story and I like that. I also like how the conversation turned to Holly and how they both feel that she’s lying about something. Eric being weaved into that could lead to conflicts between him and Sloan and that would be great to see. I also love that Brady stepped up and agreed to be Jude’s godfather… and saved him from Leo Please register in order to view this content Mixed feelings about EJ/Stefan though. I don’t mind EJ being a villain, but the problem is he was written as so petty and bitchy today. A villain should never be petty and bitchy because it never works. Just ask Clyde and Konstantin As for Ava/Harris, I see Steve is still shy about showing off that body during love scenes lol which begs me to ask, why put so much work into it if you’re so shy about showing it off?

Members Khan Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Because, Jesus came down one day and told him to knock it off or else burn in Hell forever. True story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Drake/John's tears today were a um...choice? He spent half the episode with 2 tear tracks down his face lol. I know Sloane is awful, but, again, she is not wrong for being upset Nicole is hosting their baby's christening. It is weird and inappropriate. If Eric wanted Holly to be a part of it so much just have her help with the planning instead lol. Ej/Stefan are boring. So I know Brady/Eric consider themselves brothers, but does Brady consider Carrie his sister? I know Belle does, but I can't for the life of me recall a Carrie/Brady scene since he was a child. That has nothing to do with today's show, but I was just curious. I thought it actually did have something to do with religion..or Kelly Monaco lol. I swear I remember hearing Steve was a born again Christian and didn't like love scenes anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) I recall an interview with Steve where he talked about going on morning television after his Playgirl pictorial in a vest with no shirt. Maurice Bernard made fun of him, and told him that nobody would take him seriously as an actor if he dressed like that (because the 'craft' of acting is so important to MB, give me a break). So, he eschewed shirtless scenes in order to gain more respect. Also, the makeup department would've needed overtime pay to cover those awful tattoos.

Members Gray Bunny Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Agreed 100% It's okay to look older at this point in the game. She's fended off Father Time for decades. So much so I could almost believe Marlena's 2005 pregnancy LOL. Almost. But seriously, when I started watching in 1995, with Deidre at 47, I thought she was mid-30's and I was trying to calculate how she was the "mother" of Carrie Brady, who seemed to be early/mid-20's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 2.3/10 North Korea? I was amusingly stunned when EJ mentioned Stefan going past the DMZ. It's quite a marvel how the Salem airport seems to offer direct flights to Italy for coma patients and even to North Korea! Perhaps the DiMeras have their own private jet, but it still leaves me wondering how EJ managed to arrange for Stefan to travel to a country that doesn't accept US passports. Despite that, I must admit, the dynamics between the DiMera brothers never fail to intrigue. Watching their bickering alongside the camaraderie between Brady and Eric was both fun and clever. Their weekly debates on what might upset Stefano in his grave are particularly rich, considering their own resurrection experiences. And as much as Brady and Eric may lack finesse in romance or business, their unwavering support for each other is heartwarming. On the flip side, I can't stand how Eric treats Sloan. His audacity in questioning her reluctance to have Nicole host the christening is baffling. Could it be because Nicole's past actions, like kidnapping baby Jude not too long ago, have left Sloan understandably wary? It's hardly surprising that she'd prefer a bar with bad chowder over husband's former lover and her legal foe as hosts for her son's party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Yeah, who knows? I know he said on GH had gained some weight and that's why he didn't do love scenes. I swear I remember hearing he became a born again Christian when he got married maybe? I don't know if that applies now since they are divorced though. I honestly feel like Deidre looked younger in the 90's than she did in the 80's and looked the same until age until about 2013 and I am not even exaggerating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) I recall the same thing, but that was later than the Playgirl issue. Fun fact, his ex sister-in-law (whatever you call the wife of your brother-in-law) is Melissa Ordway (Abby Y&R), because his wayward ex-wife is Justin Gaston's sister.

Members Khan Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) Which is stupid, because even Jesus knows when you're just playing a role on television. (I try not to judge entertainers who profess to be Christians, because I, too, am a Christian, and there are lines that I will not cross, but they really try my patience sometimes, lol.) Like I think I said in another post, if taking off his shirt and performing non-pornographic love scenes on a daytime soap opera is a problem for Steve Burton, then why the hell does he keep working in this genre? Just go do faith-based movies for GAC/PureFlix! It's easy for Maurice Benard to say that. Last time I checked, no one was clamoring for him to take HIS shirt off. Please register in order to view this content Look, I could understand needing to be taken seriously as a performer. That's why you (or your reps) set limits: "yes, I will take off my shirt for love scenes on my show - but no, I will not, under any circumstances, show up for a personal appearance wearing nothing but a thong!"

Members carolineg Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Oh yeah. I mean, the man dated pre-fame Tara Reid for two years, I doubt he always had such pious views lol. Agreed. I know I had this conversation about AS on GH and the fact she doesn't like love scenes out of respect for her husband. Even though the reasons are different it just makes me think this is the wrong genre for you. Steve Burton had way too much power on GH and got way more say than he should. To be fair though, I could totally see Days hard passing trying to film and choreograph a love scene with a man with a serious gunshot wound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Exactly. And if I've said it once lately, I've said it a hundred times: Steve Burton can miss me with his "I won't take off my shirt or do love scenes because Jesus!" b.s., when the Bible clearly states that a person is NOT supposed to tattoo any part of their body. You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the Scriptures you live by; either you live by them all, or you're a hypocrite; and God, according to the tenets of the Christian faith, does not like a hypocrite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 (edited) I watched today but have nothing to add. I did notice Days is no longer in the top 10. Edited March 18 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 But also, it is so silly to see men on TV with the sheets pulled up to cover their chest. As a content expert, I can tell you that most men don't relax in that position after sex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted March 18 Members Share Posted March 18 Now that we've concluded, our thoughts on whether Steve Burton should be shirtless. What did you make of the North Korea reference? Too silly or just bombastic enough for the situation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
