Steve Burton looked beyond disinterested in mouthing those lines about coming to better appreciate Edward and the Quartermaines in those scenes with Ned and Tracy the other day. In fact he looked kind of pissed. It's odd, since he did give emotion to the scenes surrounding Alan's death years ago and has allowed Jason to be a little closer to Monica and the Qs at the very least ever since his return in the late 2010s, to try to mirror Billy Miller's Drew who embodied a 'Jason' who was much more closely tied to them. Seems almost like Steve is annoyed with the 'Jason moves in with the Qs' plotline and is phoning it in, and that's saying something given his low standards.

I’m sold on nuEmma after today. Her dancing around telling Anna she got expelled from Berkley was fun and I liked the snark once she got exposed. The scenes reuniting with Josslyn and rubbing in her face that she introduced Cam to his new girl were the exact dynamic I wanted for Carly and Robin’s daughters

Lulu’s reunion with Charlotte was sweet. Alexa Havins plays the moments with her onscreen kids really well. Of course Valentine was lurking at the end I’m actually excited to see him and Lulu go at it next episode

Trina is too nice to Ava lol don’t give me a painting give me my bonus ma’am I liked their scenes though and I loved her swooping in to save Kai from the overzealous fan. Glad they pivoted to less head chewing and more fun with those two

Martin telling Laura and Alexis that Ace is getting the Cassadine fortune and Alexis will be the trustee felt like scenes that should have aired a few weeks back, same with Michael and Diane finally meeting. I did laugh at Diane’s reaction to Willow cheating with Drew and Alexis’s joy at finding out she gets to take Wyndemere and funds from Ava though.

I’m back to wishing Sasha really was leaving because I’m not looking forward to where this baby plot is clearly headed  

On SB’s recent pods he keeps saying he’s happy he finally gets to work with Jane Elliott and do the big Q family scenes again. I don’t think he’s doing any tanking for real, those scenes didn’t really call for a lot of emotion from Jason. He did briefly mention wanting the penthouse set back though

I wonder if it's his awareness of just how little he matters to the current show, compared to the hype over his coming back and the heyday of his badass shootouts and motorcycle rides. 

Being one of a million in the Q mansion must be deflating to him, especially since his big years were where Guza and others made sure everyone knew the Quartermaines were poisonous and pathetic. 

Anna and Valentin seem to have a lot of Twitter fans, for whatever reason.

He is still capable of doing the work when he cares, as his scene at Sam's deathbed showed among others. And I believe him when he says he enjoys doing the scenes with Jane, etc. But for whatever reason I just felt he gave nothing to the scenes with Ned and Tracy, even less than Jason's usual these days or in recent years with the Qs (or when he first came back under Mulcahey, and BLQ? showed him the note from Monica at the PCPD). His tone and responses here were just 'yeah, whatever.'

Yeah, I know they have a following.  I just never thought it was that "real".  It seems to have really tarnished Anna, IMO.

Steve did some decent work on Days too.  I just think like you sometimes he 'cares' and sometimes he just coasts.  I imagine he's not happy with Jason's return in general.  Hell, he was getting more interesting material on Days as Harris even with everything wrong with that show.

It's always hard for me to know what's real or not with fan followings online. With Sonny and Nina, I get the feeling many of them are Nina fans, all of Liz's pairings are mostly just Liz fans, etc. I would say Anna and Valentin are more mutual, even if I don't know why Anna fans would want the pairing at this point.

I think there are certain sector of Sonny fans who will follow any pairing with a woman that props him up.  I remember the entire faction turning on Carly, then Alexis, then Brenda, then Kate and so on once they decided to speak up or dump him.  Very loyal fanbase lol.

I assume Valentin has a similar small (but vocal) fanbase as well.  I don't think any true Anna fan would consider that romance much more than a blip on the radar for the character.

Just spitballing, but it could be fun if Brennan seduced Joss/have an affair with her to make Carly's head explode. I'm thinking it'd be reminiscent of Dorian/Cassie and the character John Martin played on OLTL. Those classic confrontation scenes where Dorian goes on about him being a coward randomly popped into my mind so here we are. Emma could find out about the affair first and use to against Joss somehow, or just to mess with her. Could be fun. And ultimately, lead to the the exits of Brennan and Joss.

    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
