I have no problem with Conner thus far, but Days casting is wild.

I am waiting for the Kirsten Storms back as Belle announcement because they would do that 😂

LMAO. I don't see that happening, ever.

that wasn't snark. It was a genuine comment. How could you NOT watch something for years and know what state it's in? This is what happens when new writers come on these shows w/o knowing anything about them.

Except both Jeannie and Paula have established histories at Days of Our Lives prior to their current tenure as co-head writers, so citing them as new is disingenuous and false.

No wilder than the casting at GH, where they literally pull anyone and everyone off the street. ("Hey! Wouldja like to be on a soap opera!?")

I don't really either, but they pulled Steve and Tyler after they were canned from GH, so it's not that insane.

That's how they found the actress that plays Jacinda!!

But, right now, Martha is actively working as Belle and given her longevity in the role and the popularity she does have, I don't see them replacing her for someone whose public image is less than stellar at the present time.

Lol! Popularity? Or just MM is the best we got on this because we've fired her 10 million times? I really don't disagree with the Storms sentiment, but I don't think Martha is terribly popular.

Yep, just as she was getting a beef and cheese empanada from the food truck parked in front of the Prospect Studios!

She's like Mr. Pibb: it ain't Dr. Pepper, but it'll do.

She's only there, because DAYS had hired the worst actress alive before her on purpose.

Lol! Literally that's what happened with Jacinda.

MM is the worst Belle. I actually hold Charity Rahmer in higher regard because at least she was hilariously bad. We have to pretend MM is a real actress or something.

Same. MM just reads old and tired and like I get being John and Marlena's only kid is a task, but she's not fun at all.

what are you talkin about? I'm not speaking about DAYS current writers or any show's current writers. I'm just making the comparison of blindly judging whether a show's canvas needs a character to a writer joining a show and writing story without knowing what all every character's tea is. It makes no sense.

The way you wrote it came off as that. Seriously, it's not that serious. That user is entitled to have their opinion on something. And the way in which they wrote their original response could have genuinely garnered a much warmer response from you; instead of berating them and jumping down their throats for making a comment and asking a question, you could have easily answered their question (which they never disclosed whether or not Chad was/was not needed).
