I dunno, I kinda give her props for refusing to allow age to slow her down, lol? 

I also think she was smart to hold onto her flight attendant job even after Esther, um, took off (sorry, lol).  Just as Marla Gibbs was smart to hold onto her gig taking reservations for another airline until she was sure "The Jeffersons" wasn't in danger of getting yanked off the air too quickly. 

The industry is so damn fickle.  You never know how long your job will last, or whether another one is coming, so if you have a steady gig (like flight attendant) that doesn't interfere with the acting or writing jobs, by all means, hold onto it for as long as you can!  I've always said that if I ever broke into the biz, I'd still keep a side gig, just in case.

I'm still LMAO at yesterday's show. Not only did we get more OCD offscreen -- ALL of it -- but we were treated to Chelsea wheeling her luggage from place to place.

First she dragged it into Adam's suite. Then we got to watch her wheel it around Crimson Lights. Hilarious!

Maybe if the story wasn't so bad I wouldn't notice this stuff.

Just saw this.  Christopher Cousins' character on One Life to Live
https://www.oocities.org/historypg/oltl1991.html


Tina devised another one of her patented, destined-to-fail plans. She was going to write a book about the trials and tribulations of the Lord/Buchanan families. Publisher Hudson King (Christopher Cousins) offered her a stunning salary for the work and Tina began spending a lot of time with him in his apartment in New York. But Hudson wasn't really Hudson - he was a con artist by the name of Cain Rogan. When Cord discovered the truth, he had a tough time convincing Tina of it. They staged a scene to smoke Hudson out. Cord would play the jealous husband and barge in on Tina and Hudson; when he saw what they were doing, he would pull out a gun in fury and fire a blank at Tina, who would then play dead. The ruse worked: Cord "shot" Tina and then threatened to kill Hudson, who hurriedly admitted he was not Hudson after all. Hudson was carted off to jail (though he was never actually sent there),while Cord had saved Tina from herself yet again.

Megan bolted town and ended up in Atlantic City, where she pledged that the lupus wouldn't run her life. She then proceeded to get drunk and have the time of her life in the casino. It was here she ran into a man by the name of Heinrich Kaiser (Christopher Cousins), a German filmmaker who instantly took to Megan and later followed her home to Llanview. Soon after, Tina and Heinrich met in the lobby of the Palace Hotel and the secret was out: Heinrich was really Hudson King - the publisher who tried to profit off Tina's story months ago. And not only that - but Hudson King wasn't even his real name - it was Humberto Kaldaron, and he was a Spanish businessman. (Of course, it was later revealed that his name was Cain Rogan, and he was nothing more than a clever con-artist). Megan felt betrayed, but as her condition continued to worsen, she could do little more than pray for Jake's safe return and spend as much time as possible with Andrew.

For God's sake, would somebody PLEASE fire Josh Griffith and then stipulate to Steven Kent that he can never be hired again under any circumstances whatsoever?  Please??

Thanks, @janea4old.  I think, lol.

This has got to be the worst DID storyline in the history of daytime. Didn't Griffith do ANY research?  Doesn't he know a mental health counselor who could have given him at least a slight insight into the reality of DID?   Couldn't he have read a book, or at least done an internet search?  There is nothing even slightly believable (much less realistic) about this plot -- from beginning to end.  Griffith has used a serious mental illness to create a farce.  He'd never get by with doing this with any other serious illness.

    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
