[quote] What Do You Think Of The Bobby/ Everett Plot?

Not enough Cock.

Everett is gayer than Leo.

LOL @ R5. I was actually thinking if they were going to go with a dual personality story angle here - a gay 3rd could join Everett/Bobby for Leo!

FCF making a MAGA ass out of himself and getting called out for it.

Fat Fuck Freddie was always dumb trash.

Dumb Ohio trash that went to Florida.....quelle surprise

Dee Dee Halls does Hacks!

Everyone is making fun of some promo that was put out this week featuring the show's new cast members. This includes NuGabi. Apparently, the show is going to have over half new characters with all the classics phased out. Viewers are not happy.

The character could be Dario or a Sonny recast.

New and old cast revealed.

NuTwunk.

Wait, they SORAS'd Nicole's daughter?!

Both HotSonny (Zach Tinker) and Paul (Christopher Sean) were seen at the studio not that long ago. I don't know why Paul was there, but the speculation about Sonny was that he was there to attend a wedding, because concurrently a photo also appeared of Alex (RSW) dressed in what looked like a wedding tux.

I admit I didn't see the reason for Chanel's hospital visit coming.

That new Mexican guy looks hot!!!!! I hope he’s a de-SORASED Dario.

Link please, R17.

Is he the return of Freddie Smith?

R18

That new Mexican guy looks hot!!!!! I hope he’s a de-SORASED Dario.

Instead of de-SORASED Dario, I hope he turns about to be the other Hernandez boy that we heard about during Papa Eduardo's first appearance.

Recall, gay Paul knew this (unnamed) boy. The duo had played and roomed together when they were both in the minor leagues. Paul contacted him on John's behalf in order to find out some information on Winterthorne Academy and Eduardo. When Paul got back to John on this, he even mentioned that this buddy of his even knew that he had family in Salem, a sister and "that guy who's a cop." .

They never followed through with anything more, but the set-up was just like with Eve and her daughter, Paige. Eduardo had even another family out there with some woman who gave birth to this son of his. And since he and Paul roomed together while on the road, one imagines they also fucked.

R18 Here's one from the other thread. Click to see his hairy legs.

Some believe he's a new character named "Javi."

I loved the Administrative-type person at DiMera Enterprises and her interaction with EJ on Wednesday's episode.

[quote]I loved the Administrative-type person at DiMera Enterprises and her interaction with EJ on Wednesday's episode.

She reminded me of Ann Dowd.

Could that be a (doomed) Theresa/Alex wedding? That Sonny's brother marrying Paul's boyfriend's sister.

I loves me some Marlena, but she needs to be reported for multiple medical ethics violations based on the number of people she's treated or is treating who are connected to her and her family. They need to bring Kim back so that there can be a backup shrink in this town.

R9 yay maybe Dee can finally snag a (Guest) Emmy?!

R25 I'm always surprised Marlena can get any patients what with her being outed (albeit wrongly) as a Serial Killer in-between possessions, constant disappearances, amnesia and messy family life!

She must have one helluva rep as a Shrink if she's remained employed all these years!

[quote]Serial Killer in-between possessions, constant disappearances, amnesia and messy family life!

You are so right.

Sorry, Dr. Evans won't be able to meet you today she's locked in a golden bird cage.

Sorry, Dr. Evans has to reschedule your appointment she trapped on an alternate universe Salem called Melaswen for the next few weeks.

And when she was possessed wasn't the devil giving her patients bad advice? How does she still have a license?

R25 r26 r27 r28

Hello, this is Dr Evans' secretary. I'm afraid we will need to cancel your appointment today. Dr Evans has had a rather nasty fall down some stairs and, just between you and me, has managed to contract hysterical amnesia. She thinks she's 22!

Grown men who watch soaps are loser simpletons.

R27 Don't forget her radio call in show and all the fame and glory it brought her way!

R31 As opposed to grown men who troll soap threads on message boards?

R31 is a rancid cunt that repeats itself. FF and ignore it.

Imagine seeing your Psychiatrist making a break from jail and being gunned down on live TV!

I think due to budget cuts Marlena no longer has an assistant, people are always just walking into her office and asking for help. That entire hospital is totally unprofessional. Dr. Kayla is constantly talking about people's health conditions. University Hospital just hasn't been the same since Tom Horton died.

I'm sure some kid would happily play Marlena's assistant for free

R26 Do the real Emmys (i.e. Primetime) still have the Ingenue category?

R36 Dr. Tom was still in charge when that candy striper, Sami Brady, accessed and change the paternity results on her baby sister Belle.

^^ He was also in charge five years earlier when evil, loony Emma Donovan -- a volunteer -- changed the paternity results of Andrew Donovan. (Which would have never been discovered if Andrew hadn't needed a blood transfusion a year & half later)

Okay, Dr. Tom wasn't perfect. He may have kept his grandson's true paternity a secret for 8 years, but his heart was in the right place. And now that I remember it, Dr. Tom was also in charge when Vivian was running loose in the hospital killing old people with bleach while pretending to be in a coma and paralyzed, and none of the doctors or nurses could tell that she was faking. And he did allow his Grandson Mike to parade around the hospital in barely buttoned Hawaiian shirts in the 80s, but Dr. Tom is still a better administrator than Kayla, who just let her hottest doctor on staff leave town.

Plus, Dr. Kayla doesn't write beat poetry

How is Mike related to Will Whoreton?

Mike and Lucas are half brothers. Lucas is Will's father. So, Mike is Will's uncle.

Thank you, R44.

Emma Donovan. That bitch was crazy. Days was so good back in the 80s.

Price hike coming, so grandma will have to eat more ramen and less Little Debbie's to afford Days on The Cock! LOOL!

[quote] LOOL!

LOOL! :)

Promo!

I hate Paulina and how selfish she is

Yessss, R46!! Jane Windsor was SO fantastic as Emma!! She had that innocent, porcelain-doll look about her...but was such an evil BITCH!

Andrew's Paternity really was one of the great long-play storylines of the mid-'80s. It began in December 1985 with Kimberly's discovery that she was pregnant (after seducing Victor in Miami during November sweeps) and was finally resolved in the summer of 1987 -- a couple months after Shane & Kimberly were married.

The audience knew from day-one that Emma had changed the paternity results & Andrew was really Shane's son -- but everyone in Salem wandered around for a year & half, thinking Andrew was Victor's. At some point, Emma was murdered & took that secret to her grave.

Meanwhile, Shane had accepted that he wasn't Andrew's biological father. He loved Andrew (had delivered him), vowed to raise him as his own, protect him from Victor's influence, etc. When Shane & Kimberly married in May 1987, I remember thinking: "Wait. Isn't Shane gonna find out that Andrew is his??" In a way, the writers had sorta lulled us to sleep, with what a fantastic, accepting guy Shane was -- it didn't seem to matter.

Then, one-day -- out of the blue -- Kimberly & Andrew were in a car accident while Shane was out-of-town on ISA business. Andrew required a blood transfusion. Kimberly's blood type didn't match, but neither did Victor's. Everyone was stunned & thrilled -- except Vic, of course. Kimberly & Neil Curtis quickly deduced that Emma fucked with test results.

Those were the DAYS.

I would just like to add (since Kristian Alfonso gets dragged a lot):

In the mid-aughts, I had the most delightful conversation with Kristian Alfonso about DAYS in the '80s. She revealed herself to be a HUGE Shane & Kimberly fan -- "I LOVED their story!!" She said that was her favorite period of the show -- when Bo, Hope, Shane & Kimberly were all entwined in storylines together. (Prisms/England/Miami). And she had a massive crush on Charles Shaughnessy, every woman on the show did. Her words: "He was just DREAMY....and still is!" (he is aware of this)

That’s an old story from a soap mag.

You stole it.

Yes, we've heard that story here on DL multiple times over the years, r52

Does DAYS still do those OUT LOUD thoughts? No other soap did that regularly.

No, I didn't steal it from a soap mag, R53. And yes, R54...because *I* have told it before. The conversation took place at Trader Joe's in Studio City, 2003-04.

FYI r56 Generally here on DL, people who tell the same tale multiple times over the years, start the tale by saying, "I've told this story here before."

Fair enough, R57, and in the past, I have prefaced the story with that phrase. Just didn't think to do so, today. But this conversation really took place, 2003-04ish, at Trader Joe's. And I was completely giddy about it, as a Shane-Kimberly fan, and the memory of it still makes me smile & laugh.

Sure, George Santos at r58.

🙄 okay, R59.

Andre's hot takes on this juicy week of episodes -

[quote]but Dr. Tom is still a better administrator than Kayla, who just let her hottest doctor on staff leave town.

When did Dr Marlena leave town?!

That woman in OP's pic is a beauty

Yeah, she is R63! That's Leann Hunley. She was gorgeous AND funny! She won the (Daytime) Emmy in 1986, for best supporting actress. She also did a ton of primetime guest-work, including a stint on Dynasty as Adam Carrington's wife.

She was also the one in the Designing Women episode where the ladies thought they had to tell a client that her husband was cheating. Constance Towers was the client ("I knew! I KNEW!!!!!") and Hunley was the mistress "I didn't know!"

It's hilarious, but you have to see it.

Are the actors who play Tony and Anna healthy? Why aren't they on?

Leann was big enough to make it into this 1985 NBC Promo (toward the end). Dee is in there, too -- but she was doing double duty on OUR HOUSE.

what's the other commercial where they all twirl... it had the hot gay Mike Horton

Per your request, R68: "It'll Excite You!"

[quote] Per your request, R68: "It'll Excite You!"

Promo!

r69

thank you! I could not think of the catchphrase

I’ve never told this story.

I worked on the production crew of blindfold: act of devotion in the 90s and Kristian Alfonso played a cop.

She requested the fancy coffee at the time. Celebrate the moments of your life…

She was very pleasant and at the time she was the most beautiful woman id ever seen in person.

I also sold location schedules for $300 to the national enquirer to photograph shannen Doherty coming and going.

Now, THIS is promo!

Spoiler alert,

You can totally tell that it's Jake underneath that mask.

Was the Strangler an established character? Was he lusting after Marlena's beaver?

Very established.

R76 hmmm I don't know eh

I remember being so bummed when it was Jake. He was Chris Koscicheck's younger brother and I was just at the age where Chris and Jake were......commanding my interest, let's say.

Jake and Jessica were supposed to be like the next big thing but then Jake was discovered and I think Jessica either went crazy or became a nun.

R66 They look healthy enough to work, Both Thaao and Leann were seen at The Smoke House restaurant in Burbank celebrating Bill Hayes with Susan in late March. Thaao will be at The Grove in Los Angeles on May 22 promoting his book. He probably wasn't available during the last quarter of 2023 for scenes that would be airing now because it looks like he was over in Greece attending a family wedding and traveling around the area for quite some time.

This week's spoilers start at 1:35 =

How did she get an invite?

What the HELL is she wearing? That caftan could only come from the closet of a Datalounger!

[quote]How did she get an invite?

She married a billionaire.

Not only did she marry some kind of billionaire, but even before she arrived at LOOL! she had over 1 million IG followers. She's some kind of social media phenom. They were also at the Elton John Oscar Viewing Party, premium table, I believe.

Who is the caftan woman at R81?

R85 Pia Zadora Rose.

Dishin' Days talked about ALL of the recent developments =

Why did TPTB show those large skyscrapers for some of the new exterior shots when they've been trying to portray Salem as a smaller city around 50,000?

It has enough population for an average sized airport, a robust down town area & I recall they had a mall in the area at some point.

Those new shots look like they came from NYC.

West Salem is where the real action is!

The Spot in West Salem is where all the hot gays party. The one in the town square, is not as fun anymore.

West Salem has its very own Vaseline Alley.

Will Whoreton is greatly missed.

So I wonder what Maggs will do to Konny to get even with him?

Anyone know what date Ron's new material starts airing? I can barely stay awake watching the Centrum Silver gang plot against Konstantin.

Eric is too moody and cries too much for a 50 year old man, but he did look hot as fuck today.

I'm willing to roll with it, R93, if it will lead to Konstantin's demise from the show. Speaking of the Centrum Silver gang, the new "teen" gang isn't cutting it for me either. The show needs to be careful with Tate as a "teenager" - throwing him in with a group of "teens" calls out he is much older than them.

Eric is a smoking hot daddy now. Remember how hot it was when Kristen seduced Father Eric? 🔥

Are they NuTeens?

I'd bounce on Eric's thick cock tight in front of Dr Marlena Evans!

Derrick the Hot Bellboy wanted Father Eric to fuck him senseless.

That scene would have broke the 'Net.

Eric is better looking than Sami or Belle

Broken.

Hot Sonny is hilarious in this clip spoofing Challengers.

Okay, Zach looks really sexy in that TikTok.

Zach is now officially the only Sonny who ever mattered.

That was actually pretty hot, R102!

R104 I agree!

Meth face Stacy is unbearable.

Andre's takes for the week =

This week's spoilers start at 6:00 =

Tony & Michael are this week's hosts...

Crystal had beef with Deidre and Kristian.

Crystal wore the ribbon!

The beef with Kristain was justified. Kristain, like she has done with many others, worked to undermine Crystal. A lot of that drama is what somewhat reignited the Reckell/Alfonso feud. And that's not to say that Crystal, can't be a handful or a little bit crazy.

Vintage Dee Dee Halls Day of Deidre on Cozi TV this Saturday...

That's amazeballs, R115 .

It's fun seeing Dee when she was a NuTeen!

WAS, R117!?!?!

R118 Yes. Hard to believe, but Dee's a bona fide ingenue now .. why fans are clamoring for her to be paired with RSW.

[quote]why fans are clamoring for her to be paired with RSW.

Ahh, yes, the classic older man goes for young beauty storyline.

Kristian r114

Those big city skylines that they use, make it even harder to believe that Salemites can't find a place to stay except with somebody else.

Brady inherited millions, yet he is still living with his father and stepmother.

Salem started as a college town, but, like other soaps in the 80s, became big metropolitan areas with an international airport, big corporations, organized crime, and hubs for mad scientists, evil geniuses who wanted to control the world and spies. I guess they can't walk it back now.

I can accept, for budget reasons, that not everyone has their own place. What really annoys me is Sloan's bed right there in the living room. That's just taking open concept to a new level.

It is striking how the sets do not match up with the exterior shots at all.

Well, TV has a long of history of the exterior not matching the interior. There have been threads and threads and threads on DL just discussing how the Golden Girls house doesn't make any sense and that's just one example.

When are Kate and Tate going to fuck?

[quote] The good ole DAYS

GOOL.

How is it that Rafe has been in Salem for over 15 years now, but has never fathered a child?

Isn't it about time for a previously unknown Hernandez offspring to appear in Salem?

Remember when Sami breezed through town and fucked Rafe (I think in the park?) right when he and Hope broke up? I figured she'd come back with his kid, but she doesn't need any more children.

[quote] How is it that Rafe has been in Salem for over 15 years now, but has never fathered a child?

Dios mío, please tell me my Rafael is not shooting the blanks. However, it's not his fault that he didn't knock up Esperanza's dusty old cooter.

Definitely blanks.

Mama Hernandez needs to lay a big Maca Root poultice on Rafael's pelotas to boost his swimmers!

Rafe hasn't been with the nubile young ingenue Marlena. I'm sure his swimmers would find lots of eggs to fertilize with her.

Teen Will Whoreton fantasized about being bred by step-daddy Rafe and used to spy on him when he was in the shower.

[quote]Teen Will Whoreton fantasized about being bred by step-daddy Rafe and used to spy on him when he was in the shower.

Who wouldn't do that! Will was just being a normal, red-blooded gay teen.

Aznarepse has had multiple children on Melaswen.

True, R136 .. The funny thing is Rafe knew, so he'd leave the bathroom door open enough for Will to get a good look, and then he'd put on a show for his stepson.

The only step daddy Will wanted to get down with was EJ. The chemistry between Chandler Massey and James Scott was so wrong it was right.

Rafe was the warm up for E.J.

And actually, even before Rafe, Will had these weird night dreams about Uncle Austin when they lived in Switzerland. .. Carrie got tired of changing the bed sheets.

EJ's dick remained Will's favorite until Hot Sonny (who canonically has a much bigger dick than FCF).

[quote]The chemistry between Chandler Massey and James Scott was so wrong it was right.

So wrong that they received network notes to tone it down and Ken Corday eventually just killed it altogether, by separating the characters

Here's the latest!

Andre's take on the big twists of this week!

This week's spoilers start at 1:37 =

"Sure, Jan."

Not that it should be a surprise, but Leo Stark is likely a DataLounger.

Am catching up on episodes. On Monday, May 13 episode, Nicole was telling Leo how happy she and Eric are in their respective marriages to EJ and Sloane.

Leo said, "Sure, Jan. Whatever you two lovebirds say."

Ron's writing must be kicking back in. Today had snark, slugs and shots.

I'm a little behind but does EJ know that the baby is Nicole and Eric's or does he think the baby is his?

Is Leo the only gay on the show now?

NuSonny robbed.

Leo is the token gay now, not to mention the stereotypical one.

I agree, R148. Today's show was pretty good - I actually paid full attention for the entire show.

r151

who the fuck leaves their wallet in their car??

The fans hated today’s show.

R151 I know it's wrong, but part of me hopes they got his phone full of sex tapes and dick pics and it all gets leaked. I am a terrible person. Horny and terrible.

I can understand forgetting to get your wallet and leaving it in your car, but thousands of dollars of belongings... was he living out of his car? He's still hot though.

Here's the latest episode of DD =

^ The Andre/Tony actor from the OP pic is their special guest interview near the start of the show.

Carson Boatman's ass today deserves a special recognition Emmy.

Link please, R160.

[quote] Carson Boatman's ass today ...

And rather funny, since the opening scene featuring Johnny's Ass had Chantel wearing her apron that says SWEET BITS on it.

Cheers!

Thank you, R163.

I think Tate's friend is cute.

R165 Damn! Get him under contract! Do the DiMeras need a speedo clad pool boy?

Days really does need a pool set.

A pool set, and a gym set with a steam room, like OLTL had in the era of the Ford brothers.

Another day with Eric crying for almost the entire damned show.

Plus, I don't care what Sloan did, Nicole is worse and she's also a baby stealer.

I wonder how much longer it will take for Eric to learn the REAL truth.

Nicole's leaving soon, I imagine she takes the baby with her, so maybe he'll never learn. Though rumor is that Eric leaves soon after, so maybe he goes to join her and their baby.

this guy reminds me of Daniel Feuerriegel

Ari said her last day is at the end of July so she'll be on for another 8-9 weeks (40-45 episodes).

So not that soon.

Welcome back Ron!

Promo!

R173 r174

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing Nerium.

NuRium

In a laughable move to try to get away from all the bad press about that scam called "Nerium," the company changed its name to "Neora."

NuName, same snake oil.

R165 I wished he looked that good on my screen.

R181 I was going to ask, is Day on the Cock now being produced by AI?

Andre's back!!!

Happy Saturday!

There was an inside joke on Friday's episode. EJ told Sloan she should relocate to Milan, which is "teeming with billionaires," or words to that effect.

IRL, the actress who portrays Sloan is engaged to an Italian billionaire four years her junior. Lucky lady.

I'm going to miss Sloane. I wish they'd hired a stronger actor to play her brother. They could've caused some real shenanigans in good ole Salem.

...and Jessica (Sloan) has a 15-year-old son from a previous relationship. That means she would have been 17 or 18 when he was born.

^ SLUT!!!

I caught that R185. I really grew to like Sloan - could not stand her when she arrived.

Spoilers start at 0:50 =

A big week reviewed!

At least today's episode made more sense about Nicole's reaction on Friday.

She was in shock & disbelief.

Guess who spent the entire episode either looking pained or crying again.

Is the answer Cry Baby Eric?

Finally.

Sounds like Cartooni thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

No Alex & Marlena jokes from today?

My only question is, are these two lovebirds finally going to make it official when they show up at the Daytime Emmys together next week?

Incredible show today!

please remind me but does EJ know that Jude isn't his son? Also did they keep the name Jude?

nevermind... the first 2 minutes explained haha

R199 Hi Ron!

It was great. Looked like everyone was having fun, and it was nice to move story along. Love Melinda. She and Rafe need to hook up.

I like Melinda too, R203!

I like Melinda three. No matter which actress plays her.

I wasn't expecting Eric to walk in at the end to see Sloan leaving.

I thought she was there to tell Nicole who the real father was as a slap in the face to EJ.

r205

I do like the 1st Melinda better but NuMelinda is growing on me

I thought Sloan was going to tell about Eric as well especially since Nicole is leaving fairly soon

promo!

[quote] promo!

Yay! I’m so happy.

R206 Fairly soon? She'll be around for 2 more months + June & most of July.

I liked Melinda #1 too but the #2 one seems to be more pro LGBT which is a plus in my book with so many celeb repubs coming out of the woodwork = Marha Byne, the Quaids, etc.
