Agreed, because as much as I may question the creative choices, there's still plenty to enjoy.

I'm eager to see where the Abigail story goes.  I want to know what happens to EJ now that he has so few supporters.  I enjoyed the pairing of Alex and Stephanie, so it will be nice to return to their story. 

And, I think the strength of the show currently lies in the friendship dynamics that are always fun to watch.  Jada and Stephanie, Marlena and Kayla, Chad and Stefan, and even Abe and Kate have bonds of friendship that are sweet and interesting.

Finally, it is hard to argue that DAYS has more sexual diversity than any other soap.  It may be written immaturely, but I doubt we'll ever see another threesome in daytime.

That threesome happened a long time ago, and it wasn't followed up with anything, including sexual diversity. All we get is Leo panting and drooling over any guy who takes off his shirt.

 

Getting rid of Carlivati is a reason to celebrate.

But 8 more months of this crap? My God.

DAYS has had more than one threesome, right? And, the last one, Alex doing an excellent impression of the supposed male fantasy with two women was definitely not a long time ago. 

We're DAYS fans. Aren't we somewhat accustomed to poor treatment?! 

And, BTW, look what showed up in my Facebook Memories as a year ago?!!

Because it was for RSW and nothing more. So much drama could’ve been mined from that and they didn’t take the chance on any of it. 

I’m suddenly reminded of the time I posted that clip of Whitney Houston singing “Impossible”

I generally think Abigail Klein is good as Stephanie, but she was awful today lol.  The hysterical crying?  Eek. 

I don't know if it was the way the episode was structured or what, but Jada and Stephanie basically did a whole lot of nothing for an extended period of time and just let Bobby/Everett die lol.  

Is BB out?  I seriously wasn't expecting him to die since I don't read spoilers.  And then they just rolled him out in a body bag.

I don't know why Ava/Kristen/everyone is so mean to Connie.  We know she's a psycho, but in general she is just being pleasant to people and they treat her with such disdain.  Sure, she's not as beautiful as Tamara Braun, but people are treating her like some bridge troll or something lol.

But no one knows that yet and everyone is just so mean to her.  Like laughably mean to her.  If I worked with her I'd probably pay no attention to her and everyone is acting like she is so "eccentric" and "weird".  Clearly she is a psycho, but she's not outwardly acting like one in this moment.

Kristen was so rude to her for 0 reason.  And then complained about the latte.  That wasn't for HER to begin with lol

Sadly, Janet Spellman-Drucker has done NOTHING since Alarr was fired that lets us know he's no longer there.

Yes, I understand the importance of getting rid of someone so awful and toxic. I just expected something -- ANYTHING -- that would improve the look and feel of the show.

 

COMPLETELY agree. It makes no sense, and actually amounts to bullying. Awful writing.

I think back to a year ago & go over in my mind, what happened. And, actually I believe Alarr was fired in August, but maybe the end of July works. 

The fan campaign was in high gear. Fran Drescher met with Ken & someone from Sony. And, she set it up for them to meet with her people. And, after that second meeting with SAG-AFTRA people, they changed from slap on the wrist to FIRING HIM. So, I of course thank Soap Jesus but I really seriously thank Fran Drescher & their union!!! 

I do wish that Peacock & Sony would get Ken to step down as EP & just remain as an Owner. The way I figure it Alarr was not only horrifying evil, he was also very aggressively active, so from that perspective, things are not as bad as they were, but I do not believe they are actually good.

Lol!  You get what I am saying.  It's almost misogynistic the way the show is talking about her.  Like Ava and Melinda gossiping about how Li would never go for that type of woman.  Because she's a bit overweight and not soap "pretty"?  Maybe Li Shin would like a woman that didn't think velvet long sleeve skin tight club dresses were appropriate in July.

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
