Of course you don't... some of the most legendary soap characters have never been in a so called supercouple. I would even dare to say these couples are sometimes a safe haven for boring and stale characters to hide in. SOMETIMES. 

Especially women; it seems like everyone is after the females to be paired or they're not worth their weight having around, but males? Let 'em overpopulate!

Or is it still only just his two favorites? 😂😂

This is not true at all. At all. Who says that this is a show based on supercouples exactly? Is this just your opinion or some kind of written rule. If it's a written rule, where is it? 

At one point in time, in the past, it literally was known for having so many supercouples. It was a thing. A very real part of its identity. But, I mean, that was decades ago! Not years ago, decades!

No you don't. Again, stop being so naïve about this. And seeing your viewpoint on this, if you are female (I can only assume based on your username), shows how little and narrow-minded you see your own gender. Shame.

Or she can be a success businesswoman, which do exist, you know? Without a man. What a concept, honestly.....

A successful businesswoman? Are we SERIOUSLY talking about the same character here? The very same woman who is so lazy and inept with absolutely no desire to work and only wants to marry a rich, wealthy guy so that she can spend all his money on all kinds of junk? The same woman who couldn't even keep her own fashion company going because of bad investments? LOL! Don't make me laugh! 

I'm not naive, I'm being realistic here. I want better for female characters on this soap but it's pretty obvious that is never going to happen because these writers are just going to keep on perpetuating the same old tired tropes every single time and they are going to keep on writing for a certain subset of viewers that refuse to change with the times. And I highly doubt that's ever going to change. And at this point I'm not even going to hold my breath and wait for it to happen.

His two favorites plus the actress who plays Connie.

Hopefully all three will be gone with Carlivati out.

Maybe we'll hear some reactions in the upcoming week. I'll never believe that every single actor like every single storyline for 7 years.

Thanks!

Not really sure why Julie Dove is that thankful, considering the way she's being written, but whatevs.

Hypocritical and hilarious you would state this, yet believe female characters need to be in a pairing. Can't have it both ways, my dear. Can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Wasn't she just a one day player? I guess she's thankful that she got more airtime and her character was a psycho killer.😂

Yes exactly.

A few years ago, Julie Dove won a contest to appear in one episode of Days, and she was filmed but her scene was entirely cut.  She posted the deleted scene on her social media.  (edit: the show uploaded the cut scene onto Days social media, and then she quoted it.)  A year or two later they hired her to appear for a short scene as one of Sloan's legal clients, and that scene aired.  She posted then about being happy/grateful, etc.   Then later they hired her to be in a scene with Li.  But basically nothing else.   She was still glad to be hired.   Then more recently Ron wrote her into the current Li storyline.   So even if her current storyline is stupid, I think she's just grateful for some work, especially since she was originally supposed to be in only one episode.

Idk. I guess it's just the fact that she's being written like a big joke. I really don't like that humiliation aspect of it all.

Yes, that's why she's thankful. She did one episode in 2022 where she yelled at Chad & Abigail in Horton Town Square. Her scene was cut and never aired. Ron heard about it and that she was a big fan of Days, so he made sure to get her scene uploaded online and then brought her back in 2023 and then made her a killer in 2024.

so was Jeanne Marie Grunwell Ford the scriptwriter on that episode?

Just to be sure, Cwikly is pronounced like “quickly”, not like “sea-wick-lee”.  Correct?

I've always pronounced it "quickly", although I've never heard it pronounced.
