Is Poplar Bluff the new Turkey?

Do I need to go to Montana for all of my plastic surgery needs?  Because if those are the results, the doctors there are very talented.

Also, Clyde and Goldman have been locked up for weeks, so who is feeding Abby?

The same person that was feeding John?  They seem to have employees or whatever.

Drugs must have a huge profit margin, which is odd when you consider the labor costs.

I still have no idea how Clyde has so much capital to do what he does.  It seems like a very expensive empire.  And he doesn't seem that clever.

Sophia needs more motivation than a bad prom date.  She is full-on evil at this point, and it seems to have come out of nowhere.

Couldnt Sophia have been Joy Wesley

Yes, in theory, but the actress appears to be of Asian descent so no lol. 

The elaborateness of her hairstyle today was epic.  It reminds me of GH's Lisa.  The more evil Brianna Brown's character got the more elaborate the hairstyle.

I choose to believe she just realized Holly is the worst and also stupid and is disappointed she spent so much time being her friend.

Does anyone know if Chandler Massey is still up to playing Will Horton?

I just need a recast on Alex if the character is to stick around, like ASAP!

I’ve come around to RSW’s Alex but I wouldn’t mind a recast either. Who do you think would be good?

 Abby is the most obvious one because KM's Abby dressed entirely different than MM's Abby when she took over between MM stints.

Freddie Smith and Zach Tinker seemed to fall into that category as well.

All the more reason they should have gone with my idea of Sophia dropping by the cabin a lot while Holly was at work, and building some kind of thing between her and Tate 😂😂

It could’ve given Sophia more depth and more notes to play

Last I heard, he had a full time job in Atlanta, so if anything, we’d probably just get visits from him.

First off, I gotta say, no Chanel. Soaps do not need a character like Connie to stir things up. She and Johnny deserved a lot better than what they got today. Btw, they’re both over the miscarriage already? Just like that? 

The Gabi/Ava scene was pretty good… until the end. I was really starting to get the impression that Gabi somehow figured out that Stefan slept with Ava and keeping it a secret from them. But sadly, I was proven wrong… by Connie. 

I liked the Alex/Stephanie scene as well. It was nice seeing them just having fun and getting all the anger out about Theresa and Everett. But I also saw it as more evidence that RSW should be playing the villain, not the romantic lead. 

Btw, I’ve never seen glass that didn’t shatter all over the place when you slammed it hard on the ground 😂😂

I don't think Deidre Hall should hold wardrobe hostage with her boxy suits and flannels either.  I loathe Hattie, but Deidre looked great yesterday in a pair of jeans.

Deidre Hall is another person who is guilty of infusing her own personal style into Marlena, and has done so more in the past few years than when she returned in 2011.

Kate Mansi seems to have a really distinctive sense of style.  The way she dressed as Abby is quite similar to how she dresses as Kristina.  I think she gets a say in her GH wardrobe where I don't think Lexi ever did.   She was just lucky to be called in to work that day lol.

Oh, absolutely. They're definitely trying to allow Mansi the chance to personalize and characterize Kristina, and it makes sense. They're likely want her to stick around, etc. and make it a worth-while experience for her.

This has got to be particularly humiliating and embarrassing for her. 

Why humiliating and embarrassing? I've seen nothing but positive reception for her in the role overtime. The only thing embarrassing must be the wig(s) she was forced to wear that looked fake AF.

I hate him with a fiery passion, so I'd be happy come April 2025 to not have to endure him ever, ever again. He's a horrid actor who thinks to high of himself.

Well, truthfully, there are multiple reasons for that. Both in terms of Sonny's job status and Freddie Smith's obvious weight fluctuation (which isn't a negative on him). I've been there and continue to do that.

That's not what I've seen. I've seen a lot of overwhelming negative reaction in numerous online forums and also on social media, including Twitter and Instagram, regarding not only the horrible wig that Emily had to wear, but also the horrible writing and characterization for Theresa. I hate to say it but this version of Theresa really flopped hard as a character and it would be better for her to stay off-screen for a while, at least until the memory of this latest horrible storyline isn't so prominent and vivid in people's minds and they can move on from it. I hope one day she can return as either Jen Lilley or an actual proper recast that can truly convey the essence of her character without any stupid blonde wig or anything. There are plenty of actresses in their 30s that can take on that role; they don't have to rely solely on Emily especially when there could be better options out there.

I've seen positive reception for O'Brien's work⏤again, I'm speaking of O'Bren, not Theresa as a character (which you remain fixated on), despite the horrid writing, etc. And she is a fine actress who did the best she could in a shït situation with shït scripts, both during a strike period and after.

I want to give DH a pass because she deserves to wear anything she pleases at this point.  Some of the stuff she wears is just so ugly and unflattering.  She still looks great and has a fabulous figure, but I doubt anyone on Days would tell her what to do.

Mansi is a case where the actress gives a character a sense of style.  I can't really recall how Lexi was dressed, but Mansi's Kristina has a modern, relaxed, but trendy look that really fits how she portrays Kristina.  The opposite of VK's take on dressing Ciara.

I think O'Brien is quite good.  I hated both characters.  It's not her fault.  I think GR is a good actor too.  It's not entirely his fault Leo is the worst.  He is just playing what it written.  Same with EOB

Oh, they wouldn't dare, unless it's an event and Marlena is needed in a dress... but those scenes seem limited. And it kind of feels the same for the likes of Genie Francis & Melody Thomas Scott.

Ainsworth did a lot of maxi dresses and maxi-like tops with skinny jeans.

Mansi, to me, has a more modern take on Kristina.

Both O'Brien & Greg Rikaart are good actors... but got saddled with roles that... shouldn't have existed (Gwen for O'Brien).
