We don't need to just post 'oh?'. We really don't.

Anyway, like others I have no faith in anything changing at DAYS. Call me when they bring someone in from outside.

The most useless EP in soap history! Janet Spellman-Drucker was there the ENTIRE time that Albert Alarr was wrecking havoc and she did NOTHING to improve the situation. She knew what was happening and enabled it. Good riddance!

I think her claim to fame as EP is the fake exterior AI generated shots.  Noel should have been named EP after Alarr anyway. But the pressure was on to name a woman.

I calculated that Maxam's first episode is likely to be March 23, 2026 unless Days takes more than the usual dark weeks up through May 2. Here's how I got to this date (all based on Jason47's posted production schedule). As of 3/7/25, Days shot Dec 30, 2025 episode (Jason's last schedule update). In the last two calendar years, Days has been dark five weeks total by end of April. So far this year Days has been dark three weeks up through 3.7.2025, if they go dark two weeks between now and May 2 they will shoot 60 more episodes under Drucker i.e. through March 20, 2026. Wow. So Maxam will be EP for six months until Days reaches the end of its current contract with Paramount. I guess it's possible that they made the switch because Paramount indicated they will extend Days passed Sept 2026 and they want changes, or Maxam is cheaper than Drucker and for the final six months the show airs he will be EP... badumbummmmm....

It's the only thing I truly believe will save this soap; I've said it for years: NBCUniversal/Universal Television should be running the ship. Buy out everyone that's involved (Ken Corday/Corday Productions⏤who I am sure would love the money—and Sony Pictures Television) and invest in this soap a bit. It's time.

Sony Pictures Television barely has any say, but I am sure Ken Corday would love the payout and seeing actual money for once.

    • Good catch. More Bell parallels. ICAM! With both statements. Same. It doesn't seem like they even enjoy writing for her. They may need to change her career to move her around.  I hope it's only for flashback scenes. Not every character needs a family member, especially the villains. That's how I felt, too. It ruined the coming out moment for me. I still liked the moment, but it was more like a plot device instead a more natural time.
    • My god Kristina was in full delusion today. I know she was never the best character but I don’t remember ever hating the character the way I do now and have since the baby nonsense.
    • To me that's always what they have been. I figured that was part of the charm to people who enjoy them. They could have just had the legendary Rosalind Cash onstage but instead they have Lucky and Luke (and Justus) in the background to give us some heartwarming comedy as the Pips. I think the Nurses' Ball should just have been left to those first few years, to be honest (any time before we got year after year of Ned "rocking out" and the year of a sex tape being played), but I do know many people love them. My main issue is they often just seem a little too glossy since coming back thanks to the HD format. I was watching the Spinelli performance on Youtube and it is clearly meant to be charming, silly fun, which it is, but it's more suited to the cheap seats era of the Ball where you had someone literally hanging from the rafters, not today's slickness.
    • I think Grant had just returned, although I'm not sure. I can't remember the exact quote, but I think Kassie said Blake took her storyline, her romantic pairing, and her job (at Spaulding). I can't remember when this was - maybe her leaving interview in SOD or SPW. 
    • I meant to mention Kat on my list. I think the actress is killing it, and I love the way Kat dresses. I can't understand having a problem with her wardrobe, which completely fits the character.
    • I wonder who Andre was thinking about when he was lying in his bed. Kat gives me feels of Y&R early Christel Khalil Lily, and her being a virgin is a throwback to the 1980s prized virgin heroine ie. Y&R Cricket, B&B Caroline, As the World Turns Lily.
    • This "3 Love Stories" episode was like taking a sleeping pill with a bottle of Nyquil. Josh Griffith is writing for 80-year olds with blue hair.
    • I guess in terms of Phillip's woman du jour coming in third behind Beth and Spaulding, that's true. But she sure wasn't either MKA or even Liz Dennehy. Was Bolger still in the role at the beginning of Phillip/Chelsea?
    • -- The coming out stuff was well-written and acted, but can't we at least hear someone tell Chelsea she needs to find a girl (or boy) who isn't frickin MARRIED? How is that not a huge fail on her part? She was willing to wreck a marriage to get herself a new boo. -- Dani can't have it both ways -- wanting Andre when she wants him but not wanting a relationship. He needs to leave her dry. -- The Dani/Pamela kiss was a plot device, but I get why they did it. I still think Cady McClain is overacting like crazy. -- Sean Freeman is good as Andre, but geez, his expertise on how relationships work is hard to listen to. He is not that guy. -- Ashley continues to be horribly written and badly played. I've grown to really dislike the character to the point of supporting Derek. -- The closing montage with Ashley and Derek looking at their phones was cool out of context. In context? We just saw Naomi lecture Derek about what to say to Ashley and how to move forward. So why in the hell did he go back to the fire station? Why not go back home? Made no sense. -- The writers are not giving Hayley enough. She's islanded. -- The Leslie/Eva scenes are still great. We get to see this complete mind control that Leslie has over Eva. We know that everything Leslie says is selfish and incriminating and awful, yet it's easy to understand why Eva falls for it.
