And agreed about the Theresa/Tate scene. Despite the writers mucking it up last summer, there’s still so much to be explored between the two of them, and their relationship as mother and son

You both mentioned Ava fighting back with Rachel.  However, I think the question is even more basic, why doesn't she lock her door?  It's all well and good to be the daughter of a mafia boss, although that line has failed her multiple times recently.  But if she's going to let people hide behind her door, then she almost deserves what she got.

Also:

  1. Did she move out of the Brady Pub (remember, when she was going to cook there for a minute?)
  2. Or, did Rachel sneak in through the pub unnoticed?

-- The Rachel and Ava "fight" ruined the episode for me. Maybe they should have cut that out of the episode, too, because it was ridiculous. I'm done with that old lady Rachel character.

-- Someone should tell Melinda how absurd she looks walking around town with that necklace on in the middle of the day.

The fact that the shirt was overpriced is not an excuse for why EJ was wearing this knit short-sleeved top the day after it snowed in Salem.

Seeing the word "dickmatized" brought this song to mind:

You cannot be serious? Ron’s material is written long before it’s recorded and they’d have to pay Ron and Paula and Jeanne if they edited stuff. Didn’t happen. This is Ron’s material. 

No, it doesn’t.

Are you trying to say that the show has to pay Ron, long after he's gone, if they edit his material?  If so, I don't think that's accurate.  Once Ron's cycle over and his contract is done, they don't have to pay him anymore, and it doesn't matter if his material is edited or not. 

Also, I don't think the scripts are so far in advance of the taping - I think it could be a month.  Maybe @JAS0N47 knows this info?

"UNCLE ANDREW"

 

Bring back Andrew and make Dimitri become obsessed with him. 

I love how Doug III basically delivers all his lines flat but we forgive him because he's sort of cute.

Those Disney channel boys…

Rachel said she used a bobby pin to open the door 

That’s what should’ve happened from the very beginning, not that disgusting mess with Leo.

They could’ve even said that Andrew/Dimitri had a fling when Dimitri was in the ISA and that he feels that Andrew was “the one that got away”

Rafe is an anti-chemistry guy. He just works as a mean boss.

Jada and Shawn is someone I would really really like to see. Especially a baby. Jada would solidify her place on the canvas with a Shawn baby. And then Belle can go and die in a ditch or something.

I’m done. F*ck you, Brady

I’m tired of him. Get rid of him too. I was totally Team Ava today and I’m glad that it’s looking like she’s gonna dump his pathetic ass. The only thing that they needed to do was really have Ava go all out and rip Brady a new one about his awful kid and how ridiculous he is. They didn’t go there today and they really should have. 

Luckily, they seem to go there with Gabi. Her vs. Belle and Paulina was the best part of today. It was a pretty good fight. They’re still missing the family beat about Belle and EJ but I’m really liking the mess that so many people are involved in over him. 

Speaking of EJ, except for some clowny, campy moments, he seemed more villainous today and I liked that. That’s the way he should be, instead of treating everything like a big joke. And I’m totally behind him being the one to get rid of Kristen’s annoying ass mother. I’m liking how this is all coming together. 

And I was liking Shawn confessing everything to JJ. I hope their relationships as family and as partners continues. Having JJ, and hopefully Gabi too be a part of Shawn’s mess with Rafe/Jada could be really good. And for the first time in a long time, I’m finding Rafe and Jada interesting

Not Jason but this is what's been said. Perhaps it will suffice till Jason's here. 10 months ahead on scripts, on the writing. 8 months on tape, in the can. 

And, I think the only person, at DAYS, ever, to have to be paid longer than, what you've said here, was James E Reilly who had what is called a "no fire" contract, which is a misnomer, because he could be fired BUT they'd have to pay him the full amount whether he still worked for them, or not.

Also I'm sure you're right about not having to pay if they edit. I've never heard anything even remotely like that. Scripts do get changed when the time comes to tape them. That's not even an oddity. Just a thing that happens.

    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of
