With Jada's personality I couldn't see her sleeping with Shawn it would have be some type of  traumatic event for that to happen and I just don't see it  happening also if Ron had wanted Rafe and Jada not together he would have split them up a longtime ago because when he wanted couples apart he did it  without hesitation

I liked the first Chanel lol.  Precious Way had a very sing-songey way of delivering her lines, but she had great screen presence IMO.

Talia just had an intense eyebrow acting situation going on.  

Lani has had better pairings than Eli, but I do like them together.  They are such an attractive couple lol.

Hard to say with PW as Chanel.  She was only on the show for such a short period of time.  I just instantly liked Chanel.  I doubt PW could play the material RB has been given and I do think it was a good recast.  I just always liked Chanel.

JJ/Lani were better.  I also sort of like Gabi/Eli (don't yell at me).  They were interesting.  Eli/Lani tend to be dull.

Precious Way I just... never bought. She annoyed me, and I never felt she could act. Horrible hire from my perspective. Had I been a casting director/hiring producer, she never would have been in-consideration. Maybe she's improved outside of the role, but... yeah, I never bought her as Chanel, and could not have seen her trying to sell the subpar material the character has had since her exit.

Considering I hated Gabi during Camila Banus' tenure, I was sold on that pairing, because it was two characters I could ignore with one stone when they were in scenes together. Eli/Lani is just boring, and now they're slapped with twins? Ugh. Couldn't have happened to a worse pairing.

It would be something good though.

As a couple, Rafe and Jada are boring 

Those eyebrows were legendary

Agreed, Raven Bowens really did save the character. 

As for Eli, I like him but his biggest problem was that he would sometimes give off that self-righteous/Daniel Jonas vibe

I don't think PW's Chanel was ever meant to be long term, but the character caught on.  IIRC, PW was attached to an entirely different project so Days knew she was short term.  I liked her.  

RB just gave the character more layers and worked with bad material well.  I just don't think PW's Chanel was supposed to be anything more than a way to give Paulina some depth at the time.

I like CB's Gabi lol.  She's a mess, but I enjoyed her.

John Black level legendary.  It's like they move each one on their own so expressively lol.

Were we supposed to be listening to anything Xander said today because Goddamn!? Good episode though with Philip, Shawn, and Belle all back home where they belong, giving the show so much life! Philip actually makes this Stephanie interesting. She was at her best when she was messy and neurotic. Bring that Stephanie back, and make her a bit of a nympho too! She'd be ecstatic two men were after her, only to be complicated by outliers Belle and Joy. 

I don't know when the trial is actually happening on screen, but it definitely should have been pushed to the new year.

I'm team potential Shawn and Jada pairing, while Eli has been probably the best new character since his creation. I'm not against him and Lani breaking up one day if they're ever full time again though.

Ava vs. Kristen - silly, but at least this confrontation was more all out bitchy. The main reason I tolerate it is because I'm interested in what was happening with them in the DoD promo.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
