Very. lol.

 

While Sonny probably does not at all deserve a happy ending, chances of that (Sonny dead) happening if the show was cancelled tomorrow are slim to none. So I have no problem with him riding off into the sunset with Brenda. I just want Brenda to make him BEG for it given their last actual breakup scenes around 2011 resonated sharply. So they can't truly get back together until that is discussed I find with fans. Her return scene with Sonny in 2013 for the 50th anniversary is why I would want them back together myself. Nothing like seeing Brenda written in character which she truly wasn't IMHO in 2011...even if the rest of the storyline was RC silly (for some). 

I can see that. Partly. Wasn't there a rumor about a lawsuit allegedly at one point due to having them both being let go?

There was definitely a stupid rumor that they had been fired because they went out on strike & so were suing because of that but honestly, that's just stupidity. 

It was definitely thought that Dan was going to sue them in some wrongful termination setting which I do not see any way it could exist because they can be fired for cause any contract cycle date with most people having 13 week cycles. (Some have 26 week cycles. Those are preferential contracts. I'm sure none of these writers had one.) And cause could be as flimsy as bad ratings. 

So, here we are. (As Dorothy Parker would say)

Because of Korte I feel good about Jarly, Carly & Jason. 

Because of Van Etten I feel bad about Heather. 

Because of the evidence onscreen I feel bad about Kraze - new.

Because of the evidence onscreen I feel bad about POC.

I've just seen a poster praise Ava for saving Donna's life. If she'd really consumed a handful of actual lithium, it's true, it could've killed her. I mean she took enough to get a stomach ache. That would've been enough in a child that small. That they were placebos saved her life. Without meaning to Ava did something right. 

Because of the evidence onscreen, suddenly, I feel good about Sonny, which I don't think I've ever typed those words before. 

Frankly, I'm confused.

There are plenty of Brenda, Sonny, and Sonny/Brenda haters out there.  Brenda really doesn't deserve to be paired with Sonny and all his baggage, but I think watching some 90's Sonny/Brenda might help you appreciate them more and how much better Sonny can be (mostly lol).

For me, it kills two birds with one stone.  We aren't getting rid of Sonny or Mo, so we might as well get a story a good portion of the audience would enjoy with a character most of the audience wants back.   The second issue I think comes into play is that I don't think Vanessa/Brenda are coming back without a Sonny pairing and Mo pushing a bit.  I don't think it's right or fair, but Frank seems to really not want to go down that road.

Anyhow, I don't think any of us Brenda fans want her to just fall into Sonny's arms.  I think there needs to a strong change from Sonny and sacrifices made by him to get her back.   It also would make sense for Sonny to finally change and give up the business for her.  The love of his life and Sonny could move more to the background.  Brenda can lead 'their' stories. 

Honestly, if I have to watch Sonny it might as well be with someone I like to see him with.  Just my opinion, of course.

See, basically I hate Sonny, always have. That's why I belong to the Sonny ABC club ... Anyone But Carly! And, then, you go & do one of these posts & I remember, dammit I liked him with Brenda. How is that even remotely possible? I don't know how but I do know it's your fault! So there. I was so tickled last night after I watched DAYS it wasn't Leave It To Beaver that came on. It was Vanessa in Vegas!

The thing is most of us Brenda fans would take Brenda with or without Sonny because the character is stronger than 75% of the cast just wandering around town chatting with people.  It just not realistic unfortunately.

I have spent many years defending Brenda so I have practiced.

On that note about Days, I was so annoyed Peacock kept sending me to Leave It to Beaver after every Days episode.  Why?  And pleasantly surprised to see Las Vegas the last few days.  I thought Peacock had finally figured me out, but I guess everyone is getting that up next..

      Critics Unleashed!

      By DRW50 · Posted

      @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that these were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER.

      I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol

      "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Maxim · Posted

      I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore.
