She is still trying to act lol. I've seen some updated clips of her still trying. She will always be my favorite Belle. Unforgettable.

On the subject of asking if actors have commented, I think it's fair in a thread like this. The only time that bothers me is when fans go to the actors directly demanding a statement. We're just trying to see if anybody shared their condolences, but hounding actors who are grieving is wrong.

Well that's unfortunate lol.  At the time I am sure I did not find CR funny, but clips of her now give me more entertainment than MM ever did in all her years playing Belle. 

I definitely think it's fair to ask who made statements in a thread like this as there have been so many that it's hard to keep track.  I just know it got pretty ugly on social media with people directly asking Deidre for a statement and wondering why it was taking her so long.  Which is gross.  It feels like some people (not on this board) are demanding statements from everyone that ever worked with Drake and it's no ones obligation to make a public statement.

It seems like yesterday. Drake was so very kind to everyone. When I joined the DOOL cast from day one, Drake was a supportive force. He never engaged in negative talk and just was a gem of a human. I feel honored to have worked with him although it was only a few months. You are missed Drake. You’ve definitely left this world a better place for being in it. #drakehogestyn #daysofourlives #gratefulheart

From soapcentral, her character bio: (Link)

She said in her IG post that she worked with Drake for only a few months.

So many cast/crew who knew Drake for short periods of time long ago, still have lasting impressions of his kindness and supportiveness.

Yes.  Ali carried the show for those years, but Maggie moved more into the Marlena role and was heavily focused on.  It was a weird time, but EJ/Sami/Nicole did have a lot going on.  They also fired SN and MBE a few months after they fired the DH's so it was very transitional.  A lot of people did enjoy that era though.

Sami as the heroine on the show was my least favorite viewing period. Sami as she’s been written in her returns is more true to form. I don’t need her hating John, that’s played out but she lost just about all the spunk that made her Sami at the time. There was a period where all Sami did was cry. I think this was during those years.

I actually now that I remember didn’t mind Maggie getting a little more prominence until of course they retconned Daniel and Melanie into her life.

Woah, first off I am like the only Melanie stan on this board.  Love Molly Burnett lol.  In all seriousness I don't know why people hate Melanie.

But as far as everything else I agree.  Sami was either crying or pregnant.  And the John hate is annoying because they made up approx a million times and she named her son after him, but I do get it's an easy trope to go back to.  I think Ali and Ari did a good job holding the show together in the absence of Drake/Deidre, but it felt immediately more like home the minute they were back.

    • Mm-hmm; this is why the storyline, despite some standout performances, is an absolute mess. History of what we've seen played out is being ignored by the so-called historian "Elizabeth Korte" for their own storied history. Treating audiences like they're morons (well...) is not going to help your case.
    • I never watched the prior Brook Lynn actresses, except for Briana Lane's brief stint.  So I'm primarily familiar with Amanda's Brook Lynn. I did watch Lois and Ned decades ago when they first met and he was Eddie Maine.  I do remember Lois wanting honesty and feeling weird about Quartermaine nonsense.  I don't remember the details because I was watching it on live broadcast and it was so long ago, but I do remember in general what their characterizations were back then, (and that Wally was hot back then). There were many years I didn't watch GH at all because I objected to the mobster stuff.  So I have missed a lot.
    • That was weird because I wasn't sure if Doug saw them or not.  Both Johnny and Tate's backs were turned, but Doug 3 obviously knows Tate.  He didn't really react, so I am assuming he didn't see who she pointed out clearly. I got you!!  Lol.  You've already blamed this Days experiment of yours on me so the least I can do is answer your questions.
    • Yes, I am sure not everyone remembers Brook Lynn's romance with the Text Message Killer or her foray into being a paid escort first by Carly and then by Nik.  Those two examples you cited are when Amanda was actually in the role and are relatively recent.
    • These things especially make the retcon weird.  I mean all of the examples you cited, but especially those.
    • May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long. (for returning viewers, she's the current Gabi -- mother of Will&Sonny's daughter Arianna.  Cherie has been airing since June 2024). This was previously was posted on the spoiler thread because it mentioned the casting of Marissa Reyes as SORASed Arianna Horton, and the recent scene where Gabi noticed Arianna wasn't in her room. Now that all of this has aired, I'm bringing it over to the main thread, as there are no spoilers anymore. Cherie is 40.  Marissa is 21, playing an 18-year-old.  Cherie is aware that they look more like sisters than mother/daughter.  Interestingly, Cherie said that in real life, her own mother was a teen when Cherie was born, and that people commonly mistake Cherie and her mom as sisters. Most of the interview is about Cherie as Gabi, getting cast, working with Brandon Barash, working with Casey Moss.

    • So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.
