I love how much I recognize the classic soap staples and yet this casting breakdown also feels like a soap being created today. It feels fresh by having more age range than the youth obsessed 90’s and 2000’s, being I assume mostly Black characters, and a gay power couple. None of the other soaps feel at all like they are current. At least we know that in Atlanta these performers will have people bts that can make Black and Brown people look beautiful onscreen.

Execution will determine success, but it looks great so far.

From the descriptions alone, you can almost feel that this is MVJ’s life work after having to write for all those ridiculous stories for white folks on GH and B&B for so many years, lol

And from the description for Jillian, they’re really drilling the fact that Betty is a singer and Jillian inherited her talent. I think they’re going to cast actors who can also sing for these roles or people with musical theater experience.

      GET THAT HEFFA, NOSY NURSE!!!   I'm sorry to see Smitty and June coming to a middle ground. It seem like that tension would be between them for at least one more story arc. A writing change?   I'm sorry but I love the teen unit of Ty, Samantha, and Jessica (and Rocco, Danny, Charlotte over on GH which is what today is reminding me of). I'm a sucker for soap teens. lol.

      I really hope Laura doesn’t get reelected. She doesn’t deserve it. Imagine her campaign staff, freaking out at the Metro Court as election results come in while she’s hanging out with Sonny.

      DAYS: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Reverend Ruthledge · Posted

      Thanks for that. It was great to see her in an interview. She's very likable. Although it was somewhat confusing. What new soap is she talking about going on audition for in 1973. Was it The Young and the Restless? Is it just me or did they never even say the name of this soap opera? Days wasn't new in 1973 and there was no "Jack" with three daughters on The Young and the Restless. What soap are they talking about? The editing around that part was weird and choppy. I felt like there was a chunk missing or something. And I'm not sure why she was saying she got colorectal cancer from HPV and said it's because she never got the HPV vaccine but then said she's never had anal sex. I'm not a doctor but that didn't seem to make any medical sense. I don't know. Maybe I'm tired. It just seemed like some of this interview didn't make sense.

      If it helps any, the last script cover from the Elman papers that I have is from episode #3,736 airdate November 15, 1977. Writers are the Hollands with Frank Salisbury.

      B&B really does look incredible. The lighting and the polished sets have made a significant difference how visually appealing the show is now.

      I found the problem with the Labine era was that the show lost some humour when the Labines came on and it could be dull. They also didn't seem to understand some of the characters. As others have said, it looks fantastic in comparison to the next regime but I just remember boredom being the primary response.

      Something I didn't realize: Frank Ashmore, who played Monica's investigator Corrigan in 1981, was also Victor, the third guy in the cockpit, in Airplane!

      Thanks, maybe I will skim through those episodes.  I have previously binged late 1985 through early 1987; April-June, August 1992 (I skipped Carlo Hesser murder trial), Jan-March 1995 and I began watching in 2006. I just struggle to stay consistent with routines especially binging routines haha

      I could've sworn we went over the Bobbie thing a while ago, and saw her introduced to Rick and Lesley as "Nurse Barbara" in very late '77? Or was that early '78? I know the clip is online. Jackie always credited Marland with creating her IIRC.

      Thanks.  Loon Lake - very on the nose. With that "dad" outfit Bo looks even more like Cassie's father...
