In a way... it died all those years ago. It's like a bad nightmare ever since. Bell is well past his expiration date as a writer. He should be retiring and giving a new writer a chance to re-invent Bold.

I can’t be bothered to be more articulate than this (or type up my full thoughts) except to say that segment was incredible and here are my immediate reactions shared with a friend (!):

I really hope this is a return to form for the genre. Haven’t been this excited about daytime in maybe 20 years (which is a crazy thing to type out).

Ha, it really is! I just can’t believe daytime hasn’t truly excited me since around 2004 when we had Bianca’s baby switch, Sheffer’s ATWT and when Y&R was still watchable. That’s the last time it was telling stories I felt I needed to watch.

And to watch two black women talk about the new show they created and their love for the genre…just means so much to the little black boy who only loves daytime because of a black woman (miss you ma). These accomplished black women spearheading this new show after 20 something years of being aware that black viewers have been undervalued and underrepresented, despite being a well known, significant and stable part of the audience, it’s just incredible that we’re here.

Don’t get me started on how Tamara Tunie, Daphnée Duplaix and Karla Mose, who are all talented and accomplished actresses done so dirty by daytime…wasted, disrespected and dismissed while lessers got to shine.

Can’t wait to see the new promo.

It looked like everyone was in all black and I swear some of the women were wearing those church lady hats! But idk!

But sequins?! For a funeral?! I don't think so. It felt like a gala of some kind, as I am sure those hats are not church-specified. At my last job, several Black women would always come in looking for fascinators and bigger hats for special occasions.

Sorry, but this does not look like a funeral. At all. It's giving black tie/gala/celebrations for a special occasion. Maybe the engagement party for the upcoming wedding?

    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
