There had been *speculation* that Martin was actually Vernon's or Anita's son, and adopted by Nicole.

Some on here have speculated that maybe he's really Anita and Vernon's son... given the age and whatnot.

Samantha irks me. Does she really think Chelsea is going to have time to manage her when she is starting her fashion line... over Dani who actually has experience?

This gambling storyline is poorly done. The Doug McBride actor is rather dull.

Very eager to learn Ted’s POV on the cheating.

Not Leslie gaslighting the hell out of Eva.

This gambling storyline - what in the world was that butcher surgery scene?? LOL I'd get substance abuse like drugs/alcohol - but can gambling really impact your motor skills and cognitive thinking like that?

For a Carlivati episode, it’s pretty strong so far.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

And Johnny Wactor and Billy Miller (along with Tyler Christopher) dying so young and tragically. It’s devastating.
And Nneka Garland behind the scenes…

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.
