Leo and Xander are the most popular characters in research that Corday and Peacock use to determine story.

I have a hard time believing Leo is more popular than Marlena lol.

At this point Deidre's pettiness is real. She was facing the bookstore guy and Julie with her body language completely ignoring Suzanne the entire time. It's so ridiculous it's almost funny.

I'm sorry, but Deidre Hall should NOT have gotten away with that. IDC that DAYS' guerrilla taping style doesn't permit second takes or breaks. The director or Noel Maxam or SOME body should've stopped tape, pulled Deidre and Suzanne Rogers to the side and reminded them that when they are on that stage and in front of those cameras, they are NOT Deidre and Suzanne; they are Marlena and Maggie, "and if you find that difficult to understand, there's the door."

As a soap fan, I've learned to put up with a lot from these actors and these shows, but one thing I will never abide from anyone is unprofessional behavior. Not when there are people out there who literally shovel [!@#$%^&*] everyday for a living - and for a fraction of the money that Ms. Hall is being paid to behave like a jackass on camera - but who still know how to conduct themselves like actual adults.

I have a hard time believing Leo exists at all.

I agree with you 100% on principal. No one should get away with such petty, silly behavior, but on the flip side I don't know if it's noticeable? All of us know there is obviously an issue. To regular, casual fans? I am not sure. I don't think either tanked the scenes. They still worked in an overall context. I am not sure if it's enough to go in that deep with two veteran actresses who in general help carry the show.

Believe me, @carolineg , if I can notice the tension between the two, anyone can; and if it's enough to pull me OUT of the scene, then I can only imagine how others are reacting. But you have a point.

IDK what happened between Deidre Hall and Suzanne Rogers; and frankly, I don't care anymore. I just know that it's ridiculous how their characters are supposed to be close friends; yet, you hardly ever see them together in the same scene anymore; and when you do see them together, the iciness is so palpable that it tanks the whole scene. You're actors, g*ddamnit. Act like you're BFF's or one or both of you needs to get the [!@#$%^&*] off the show!

(And I say all that with a lot of love.)

I so agree and I’m going to put it on Deidre, not Suzanne.

It was SO noticeable! Deidre can be very cold.

I’m not a fan of you @Khan but yes, Deidre and that coldness she exudes to Suzanne Rogers is disgusting. Suzanne is the nicest person ever.

Lol. Thanks for giving me that right. I am sure I am delusional and Leo is the most popular actor on the show.

I mean, do you know both Suzanne or Deidre personally? Deidre could be evil and cold, but we have no idea what they are like in real life lol.

This set of scenes didn't pull my out in the way some of the previous Maggie/Marlena scenes have. I would honestly leave the whole relationship alone like they have in the past and let them live in their own Days bubbles. They are both in their 70's/80's. If they can't work whatever happened out by now they probably never will.

Then why is Xander on once a week if that? Leo and EJ dominate

Yeah... it's time for them to finally end this, whatever it is. 30+ years of friendship deserves a second chance. And honestly, they're both too old to carry around this much tension and animosity.

Ryan Murphy is probably already brainstorming Feud: The Deidre/Suzanne story-Never Say Never 😂

Fair enough lol.

It really is a shame they had a falling out though in all seriousness. They did seem to be very close for years. And SR/DH don't appear to have issues with anyone else on set. I mean the Hope/Marlena hug was cold too, but I don't really know what that was about.
