June Burns A Hot Salem Summer = DOOL

DOOL?

The May thread =

The newly released promo =

Marlena is going to be over Alex very quickly once Tate asks her to the prom.

I hope Marcie Miller is coming back as Abby. However, I think I read that there is a new Abby lookalike, a different actress.

Upcoming events =

This week's spoilers start at 0:55 =

^^^ I like how that speaker pronounces Eric: "Urk."

Kru.

R8 Do you like how Ol' Andre pronounces the characters?

The Dish gang discuss the BIG events from this week =

Notice how the "dive-y" place that Kristen Blake DiMera and Stefan Octavious DiMera were dining at today uses the same coffee cups as the "normal" restaurants on the show?

What was the name of the restaurant that FCF's Sonny used to frequent?

Kristen's back dress was a winner.

Sloan's clothes were awful.

^ black dress not back dress LOL.

LOOL! :)

I don't know who any of those couples are or why we are talking about them but I voted for John / Marlena.

DYKWIA?!?!!! is filming again.

Is JumpStreet JJ back for good? Or just for Doug's funeral?

Abby's resurrection from the dead?

JJ needs to come back and have sex with Melinda, keeping his mother/daughter conquest streak going.

JJ is JJ on Melaswen.

Time for JJ to forget Mother/Daughter hookups and move on to Father/Son duos! Brady and Tate to kick things off!

Then Lucas and Will. Datillo was looking very good today.

Well, Lucas is his uncle and Will is his first cousin... how about Justin and Sonny instead?

Shit, I forgot that Sonny was also his first cousin. Damn near incestuous Salemites!

EJ and Johnny.

Perfect! Those two duos will keep JJ plenty busy.

Dattilo can afford Wegovy?

Bryan and Dee split an order between them

R17 Do you even watch this show?

John & Marlena have been on for decades.

I love Julie.

Every time she starts squawking I think "My friend Julie is such a cunt..."

I knew Conny would walk in on the 2 old broads yakking about the upcoming marriage.

So predictable.

I hope Dee convinces her dear friend, and dramatic workshopping collaborator, Jaclyn Smith, to join the show as Xander's mother.

Maggie's big wedding reveal has so afar been a bust for me.

The highlight of Friday's show was Bonnie grabbing the phone away from Sarah & making the call herself.

I'm enjoying it. Glad the returned writers are powering through so we can put Constantine in the rearview, get to the Alex/Xander reveal, and hopefully say goodbye to Theresa (and maybe hello to Gwen?).

Thread to discuss Daytime Emmys

An explosive promo!!!

Wow, R36. Looks great.

Andre getting sassy with it -

Deidre, Dattilo, Drake, Judi…

Is there a Wegovy epidemic there?

And, if so, MAGA Sami and Brady need prescriptions ASAP.

(r39) and Paulina, too.

MAGA Sami

CorbinFisherTripp

Amy Steele

DYKWIA?!?!!!

FCF

GrindrJoey

What other DL names have we had here?

BTW, I miss Susan Lucci’s compliments to Deidre.

How could I forget:

FOWBF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, yes, r41, Paulina was first in line!

Bonnie needs a neck nip and tuck now, though.

JumpStreet JJ!!!!!

Chik-Fil-Jen

Mela-ME

ManZi

RSW has always been just RSW, huh?

Strudel

Chambo

"Chambo" was only used by sick weirdos.

Jen-Fil-A, sometimes called Missy-Fil-A

[quote]What other DL names have we had here?

R42,

We also have Dr. Stinkface (Kayla) and Meth head Stacy (Kristen).

You're the only one who calls them that.

Maybe Jason Voorhees is holding Abby captive in the woods outside of Salem. What's the lake's name? Where Philip threw his leg?

Sorry R51 but I created the Dr. Stinkface nickname & I'm not R50.

Once or twice was okay but she is living in the overkill zone with those facial expressions. I had hoped if this nickname became popular that she'd quit doing them (I never see her doing them in older episodes from the 90s). So far no such luck. I find it very distracting from her acting abilities.

I prefer this grinning, maniacal "don't fuck with me" NuKristen to the Dopey original actress so I have no bad names for her.

Carry on.

^ Original Kristen = Ol' Dopey.

I much prefer Stacy to 70 year old Eileen.

No version of Kristin is needed on the show.

[quote]Sorry [R51] but I created the Dr. Stinkface nickname & I'm not [R50].

I ❤️ you, R53

[quote] I much prefer Stacy to 70 year old Eileen.

Hi, Stacy!

Eileen is soap royalty. Meth-face Stacy needs to hit the road!

Soap opera royalty is just another way to say elderly.

R46 RSW is also "King Rob" since that's the way TPTB treat him.

R42 There was also FCF, who will never be confused with HotSonny.

Dishin Days for the week =

Original Kristen trying to be young Rachel's mother would be impossible to believe as she's headed for 70 here soon.

NuKristen is more believable in that role.

The Dishin' Days Awards

Jada at the 51st Daytime Emmy's =

Leo =

Xander, Mags & Alex =

Johnny, Chanel & Holly =

Ava & NuTheresa =

Hey look it's Mikey!

Justin & Sarah =

Brady & his real-life family =

R65 Has the Nicole, Jada, Everett, Tate, NuTheresa performers plus various crew members accepting their awards in live shots from around the globe.

This week's spoilers start at 0:47 =

I hope Gwen returns - RICH - when Theresa goes to jail or whatever.

Martsolf's sons are quite attractive.

Everyone at DAYS seems pretty happy and drama free. Unlike those cunts over at GH.

Did Cantu have a wardrobe malfunction? I hope she packed a roll of double-sided Scotch tape in her purse.

Mikey's husband accompanied him. There was a nice shot of him at The Bay's table during the broadcast.

Queen Brady is always pimping his twin sons. Now that they're 18, they might get more traction if they opened an OnlyFans.

I see where Cartooni blew this shindig off and went to Paris with his husband.

Did Days win anything else beyond the award for having Dick Van Dyke play himself?

Martsolf’s sons have grown into their looks. When they were younger they were going through their awkward looking teen years and looked it. They’ve always been fit though because they’re water polo players.

You’d think they could have used AI to make Victor’s voice more convincing.

Thoroughly entertaining episode. Suzanne got her Emmy reel, and a fainting spell for the win.

Emmy reel? For what?

Same bad acting she does in every episode for the last 50 years.

Aw, don't get your McRory wig in a twist R83 .

^^I don't get the insult.

My speculation, Theresa will get out of this mess with switching Victor's will when she turns up pregnant. She'll claim it's Alex's kid, but it's Brady's.

r86

[quote] Original Kristen trying to be young Rachel's mother would be impossible to believe as she's headed for 70 here soon. NuKristen is more believable in that role.

Wrong. The child will be SOARSed like all the other ones. The show still wants Eileen back, and she will return.

How old are Martsolf’s sons?

They’re legal at 18 r89

Queen Brady was hoping Carlivati would be at the awards show, so that he could introduce his sons, giving Ron the bright idea to write some gratuitous shirtless roles and give them IMDb credits.

(r88) If they're smart, they will get Eileen back. I am tired of Kristen being such a one-note personality. As Eileen has proved recently on Y & R, she is very skilled.

Eileen is not 70. lol

No one faces off with Deidre better than Eileen. It’s iconic!

For every one episode featuring Eileen, they can pay for four with Dollar Tree Kristen.

R93 Well since the DL poll wants John & Marlena to have a big break from the show,

senior citizen Eileen can face off with them while they're on their 6 month vacay.

R95 = Methface Stacy

Is Geriatric Kristen on Wegovy like her nemeses Marlena and John?

The Marlena and Leo scenes were great today.

I like Dr. Mark Greene.

R98

Old Hag Kristen turns 65 on Saturday.

Stacy is only 56.

I will still take Eileen Davidson any DOOL! It is about much more than age. It is about the ability to act and create a character that viewers actually find fascinating and are not wondering "what she's on".

Stacy's Susan Banks is much more fun and sorta believable than ED's vaudeville-style acting as the character.

I hate Stacy's Kristen but kinda like her Susan

John "The Con" =

As Carl in The Breakfast Club =

He looked different in 2020 =

So, has anyone seen these films that he's been in?

OMG! Look what's happened to The Breakfast Club cast -

Is new Dr. Greene gay and he doesn't know it?

Hallmark Mysteries is constantly playing that series of movies that he was in there a few years ago:

Also co-starring DL Fave Barbara Niven, who is also in all of MAGA Sami’s Hannah Swenson movies.

R110

I think Dr. Greene is very closeted due to his sis Felicity taking up so much of the family's energies.

As a result, he didn't want to "burden" his family with this secret.

Maybe Dr. Greene will get with that cute New Mexican guy that will be onscreen soon.

50+ year old Leo is too old for Mark and Mex.

Leo should force Gay Brady out of the closet finally. Kristen would go even crazier!

BTW, so Xander purposefully murdered Constantine.

I hope when the paternal reveal happens that there is a minimum of scenes with all of Salem anointing Xander as the most wonderful, super duper good guy ever. 🤮

Maybe Zander will ultimately wind up with Gwen, which would be comical since Theresa was so involved in the cover-up of Zander's true parentage.

Did anyone else think yesterday that Chad and Clyde were going to tongue-kiss?

[quote] Emmy’s

Chad sure can chew scenery. I do think he needs to explore his sexuality as he has way more chemistry with males.

I was watching today's episode and was wondering what kind of Friday show it was - that is until the last minute.

So are Chanel & Johnny leaving the show for real or is this just a upcoming plotline?

Haven't they chopped enough young folks out of the show by now?

Guess who's coming back now?

r121

what happened the last minute?

Also curious about Johnny and Chanel…

They're not going anywhere.

R124, Stefan discovered EJ was not Jude's father.

StefanO?

I don't know why they added the Felicity character to begin with (her two brothers yes to replace the younger characters Tripp & Wendy).

She is slow talking & sow moving.

The cast's senior citizen vets have those traits down pat.

Since the show is starting to be more Glee like, Felicity's new nickname should be Becky Jr.

[quote] Stacy's Susan Banks is much more fun and sorta believable than ED's vaudeville-style acting as the character.

Stacy looks like an idiot wearing cheap Party Store teeth. Eileen makes people forget that it’s her. She made Susan lovable. Stacy cannot act and is just painful to look at. She was driving for Uber before she got the gig, and she got it because Y&R wouldn’t allow Eileen to return in 2018. Days contacted Eileen every year since then to see if she would agree to return.

Judith Chapman is returning. They just confirmed her airdate. I love how she plays Diana. She’s Mommie Dearest.

They need to get back the original Eve. She wants to do it too.

Can’t they recast Stefano? They need some older male actors on the show in the style of Joe Mascolo and John Aniston.

Colton Little is coming back too.

R133 Isn't John, Steve, Roman, Abe, Clyde, Jack, Doug, Justin, Bo, Orpheus, Tony/Andre, Dr. Rolf, Rafe, Brady, Lucas, Harris, Konstantine & Mr. Shin enough for ya?

I agree, R135. I've only been watching the show a few years and was surprised at how large the older cast is.

Tripp left the show? Why and when?

[quote] They need to get back the original Eve

What don’t you like about NuEve?

[quote]Colton Little is coming back too.

Oh joy. I hate it when the way you envision a character isn't what the show has in mind or brings to the screen. I always imagined Andrew as a James Scott type.

When are Diana and Andrew returning?

June 25 for Diana.

This week's spoilers -

I've hated Chapman's mugging since her days as Ginny Blake on GH.

[quote]Also curious about Johnny and Chanel…

Me, too. It seems that if Johnny takes the new job and Chanel opens her "Sweet Bits L.A." business, they won't have much to do with Salem any longer. Maybe just some sporadic guest appearances.

These are some of the male actors ages for 2024 =

99 = Timothy (Dick V.D.)

98 = Doug (r.i.p.)

27 = NuTate

25 = NuTheo

R148 IMDb shows James Reynolds' "Abe" to be turning 78 in August. This is why Marlena sees Abe as such a wonderful grandfather figure.

Also, Kevin Spirtas' "Craig" recently put a post up on Instagram saying how he was embracing being 61 now, encouraging others to do the same.

Carson Boatman and Johnny's buttcheeks turned 30 in February.

And middle-aged Shawn-Douglas, Brandon Beemer is 44.

53 = Rafe

Thinking that Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald is now a member of AARP makes me feel old.

R149 Well I'm not 61 & won't be for a while so Kevin Spirtas can kiss my grits!

Chandler Massey a.k.a. NuWill will turn 34 this year on Sept. 10th.

Michael Hagiwara who plays Wei Shin will turn 68 on 11-10-56.

Richard Wharton who plays NuDr. Rolf turned 70 on 3-21-24.

R137 Tripp couldn't see eye to eye with his dad Steve so he hightailed it to Hong Kong

to play Ping Pong with King Kong and to see if Wendy's family can get over their hot son Li with an even hotter blond son-in-law.

[quote] Chandler Massey a.k.a. NuWill will turn 34 this year on Sept. 10th.

I thought Chambo was OlWill and Strudel was NuWill?

[quote] to play Ping Pong with King Kong

King Kong will stop the rain.

Another gay joins the writing team.

Homophobic Miss Giddens returned? Blech.

r158

he pretty gay

R160 He certainly has a MARY! moment at 25-second mark.

R159 LaGiddens announced that during his interview at The Locher Room with He/Him Alan some six months ago.

R156 I recall Chandler being at least Will #2 (not counting baby versions).

So that makes him NuWill.

Strudel is Strudel.

Wasn’t the Will before Chambo a druggie and/or drug dealer?

^ I don't know but if he made it on to screens then he counts.

Konstantine is the guest on this week's show starting at 5:40 =

Enitnatsnok.

^ Erdna in orange & on Konny's death, Clyde's drug ring & other developments =

There was the baby and toddler Will, then awkward looking pre teen Will. The first cute Will, with the Bieber cut, who was busted for dealing in real life. And then our Chandler. There are no other Wills worthy of mention.

Comings & Goings =

Poor Chambo’s so god damned dumb. It took him 13 years to graduate from college.

Is there a know-it-all cunt on this thread, comparable to the one on the GH thread? I'm curious about the status of Ari's lawsuit against Corday/Sony, etc.

Strudel at least had smoking hot sex scenes with Paul. Off the charts chemistry.

Strudel liked Paul's noodle.

Ari’s gonna lose the lawsuit. Things were so horrible for her that she’s asking to return to the show? How bad could it have been if she wants to go back? A lawsuit loss for sure.

[quote]Things were so horrible for her that she’s asking to return to the show?

The man that made things horrible is no longer there.

Strudel is a method actor, so he probably convinced himself that he was gay for that steaming hot scene and just went for it.

R175 Ari filed the lawsuit before Alarr was fired. So she wanted back in while he was still there. Lawyers will pick up on that. She’s gonna lose and Corday will never take a troublemaker like her back. She screwed herself.

Struedel may have been hot for Christopher Sean IRL. Maybe that's what came through?

I saw Steudel in a multiple episode part on Bosch. What has Chambo done post-Days?

I am not a fan of Zucker and I also think she's MAGA, but that's neither here nor there. Bottom line she was willing to go back to the show for a raise and more story control with Albert still in charge. She only filed the suit when they didn't meet her demands.

This does not mean that I don't think that AA was a bad person and a horrible producer, but she's not all harps and halos either.

Ari longs to be like MAGA Sami and do Fraumark movies. But it will probably end up being schlock horror flicks for her where she's playing some teenager's mother.

They took Missy chik fil-A back

The show sued Missy, not the other way around. Plus Missy's situation was somewhat different and more delicate.

Plus, they didn't bring Missy back until Jason Brooks' big cut Peter was gone.

Missy was a lucky woman. I mean, her Y&R hubby was so hot back then (crazy fundamentalist tendencies hadn't yet emerged), and then she gets Jason Brooks taking her to pound town, too?

[quote] What has Chambo done post-Days?

Didn’t he learn Mandarin, get a degree, and now has a real job in his home state?

Scott was hot, but I think he was already a fundie (one of the super crazy type) even when he was on Y&R. He was the one who brought Missy into it. I've always thought that Missy was fundie by marriage and to stop him from taking her kids away after the affair was revealed, but since then it appears as though she drank the Kool-Aid. But I can never be mad at her for fucking Jason Brooks.

R178 R185 Yes. Chandler works full-time at a healthcare consulting company in the Atlanta area using his degree in economics. But it appears they looked around the office one day and decided to use his bright young face in one of their videos (see link).

Besides all that, Chandler has been doing about one boring Fraumark TV movie per year. This is an easy-peasy way for him to make some extra cash and get a vacation out of a location shoot.

[quote] Homophobic Miss Giddens returned? Blech.

Who?

[quote] I am not a fan of Zucker and I also think she's MAGA

What??!

God, I work in Healthcare Admin. How do I get Chambo to come to my facility?

R189,

This…

R188 Jamie Giddens (aka Miss Giddens or LaGiddens) ... He was a longtime soap blogger (at Daytime Confidential) who hit the 'big time' in 2017 when Victoria Rowell hired him to help her write the first season (six episodes) of her soapy series called "The Rich and the Ruthless." This eventually got picked up by the "Urban Movie Channel" (now Allblk) for streaming. .. This led to producer Will Packer hiring Giddens to help create "Ambitions" for OWN. That ran for one season (12 episodes) with viewers dropping off weekly. It didn't get renewed. Cartooni then hired Jamey as a writer at Days. I believe he took a leave to work on another project (for Tyler Perry?); now he's back at Days.

If you're really interested, you can watch the interview that Alan (He/Him) did with Giddens at The Locher Room.

Giddens is quite……..plump.

Team Jamey.

Jamey team

[quote]I am not a fan of Zucker and I also think she's MAGA

I wrote that before I saw her clip on Twitter. I've long suspected that she was maga, going all the way back to the way she handled that grab em by the pussy thing. I guess this news has made a lot of people on the Days Facebook page happy.

She must have liked being grabbed by her snatch.

R192, what makes him homophobic? Isn’t he gay?

I can’t get over Ari’s interview. Crazy.

MAGA Nicole doesn’t even care about the Insurrection, the Supreme Court, nothing, just her money.

AND she says Trump is being persecuted politically. MAGA Bitch!

[quote] Team Jamey.

You'll need to bring your own bench. .. Jamey is a team into himself.

Still waiting to hear how he’s homophobic n

I will always hate Giddens because he was on a crusade to get ATWT, GL, and DAYS canceled in the middle to late 2000s.

Plus, he’s just like EDWlN: homophobic Black gay.

Yeah after listening to Ari on that podcast she is definitely MAGA. Thanks for posting that interview guys.

Her being in the top 1% most of her life & complaining about $$$. Boo hoo.

I bet the Daniel actor she is/was involved with is too.

DOOL Trumpers so far = Sami, Gabi, Nancy, Nicole, Kate, Missy, Harris, Marilynn McCoo & hubby. Anyone else?

Not too manty of the male actors it seems are MAGA. I know Tripp has bashed Trumpy & Rafe too. Any others?

Maybe Ari will introduce Donald at the GOP convention this year.

[quote] Plus, he’s just like EDWlN: homophobic Black gay.

Again, for the hundredth time, HOW IS HE HOMOPHOBIC?????

[quote] Plus, he’s just like EDWlN: homophobic Black gay.

a is black?

[quote] Her being in the top 1% most of her life & complaining about $$$. Boo hoo.

Ari's father was a plumber, and she went to Chatsworth High School (public) in The Valley where that slut Brooke Logan is from.

Hardly 1% LOOL!

[quote] Hardly 1% LOOL!

LOOL! :)

Mic drop.

R206 r210

Poor R208 struggles with simple math & facts.

Her dad was a plumber (many can set their own wages = in my area they can charge over $28 an hour so not exactly chump change) but her mom was a lab tech so not exactly a double minimum wage household there.

Ari is 50 & has been in the biz for about 3 decades now so that means about 60% of her life has been in the upper class income bracket of the world pop.

She only has an older brother so I'm guessing she'll be fine when she gets her parents estate somewhere down the line.

R208, plumbers made six figures easily.

R213

She was married to a QUEEN, and Shawn Christian has always seemed gay to me.

She’s probably on of those closeted Jillian Michaels MAGA dykes.

[quote]DOOL Trumpers so far = Sami, Gabi, Nancy, Nicole, Kate, Missy, Harris, Marilynn McCoo & hubby. Anyone else?

Twitter says Kristian Alfonso, based on some of her likes and follows. 🤷‍♂️

One of the former Days writers posted that he was waiting for the Zucker news to come out, so this must not have been a secret on set.

r216

On SOC, a poster said that a different soap site is claiming that FakeAbigail IS related to Abby. They will think she's Abby but she's really another character related to her.

A twin? Another daughter of Jack?

GWEN???

Looks like Chanel loses the baby...

Let's hope it's a twin/doppelganger for Abby, and we get Emily Obrien's Gwen back and Theresa GONE.

Matt Ashford looks great.

r220

[quote] DOOL Trumpers so far = Sami, Gabi, Nancy, Nicole, Kate, Missy, Harris, Marilynn McCoo & hubby. Anyone else?

I don't get MAGA from Kate. .. Please explain that conclusion.

Koslow seems more Libertarian to me, which does have some conservative elements within, but is more about personal freedom. I also see she's shown support for independent, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who now has his "We the People" platform.

I just don't see a MAGA when Koslow does things like support same-sex marriage, espouse sustainable fashion, promote organic foods, advocate justice for George Floyd, tell people in L.A. to visit the amazing Auschwitz Exhibit, and quote the likes of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Maya Angelou....

[quote] Twitter says Kristian Alfonso, based on some of her likes and follows.

On the other hand, Alfonso seemed super-excited to attend Biden's big event at the White House honoring Sir Elton John back in 2022.

ftr - She also did the NOH8 campaign and always participated in Spirit Day when Days was doing that.

R222, she follows Fox News hosts, PragerU, CPAC, far Right groups and talking heads, she’s an anti-vaxxer too. She’s a Right-winger.

Greg Vaughan is also MAGA.

Soaps are filled with MAGAs. Most stay quiet about it. However, Zucker's MAGAness just spotlights how stupid and hypocritical most MAGAs are.

R224 Libertarian in the U.S. is generally considered some kind of "right wing," so one will find agreement on some issues with Republicans (as well as commentators at Fox). But personally, I can't see someone who's truly MAGA supporting any of what I've heard from Koslow on the subjects listed in R222. So maybe she's of her own political mind and is simply independent. - jmho

MAGA Koslow's water carrier at r227.

r224 r225

[quote] she’s an anti-vaxxer too.

And that goes directly with Libertarian. .. Decades before COVID, Libertarians have been the leading proponents of "medical freedom" in the U.S. - with their arguments against mandatory vaccination already formed. "The Nation" did an in-depth article on how their longstanding position merged with the (typically left-leaning) alternative medicine gurus to become the foundation of the anti-vax movement during the pandemic.

Speaking of male ages, it was nice to see an actor under 40 showing off his body on a recent episode (even if it was spider armed Alex).

Days is still a top streamer.

R229, she follows Republicans and PragerU. Stop ignoring, you dumbass.

That's impressive, R231!

Wow! After Netflix, Days is the most watched streaming program! Very impressive.

Congrats to Days.

R234 Variety tells a different story.

R231 That was the big Maggie wedding week reveal/ kidnapping/ murder episode.

Does anyone have the next week's ratings?

So since DOOL is a 5 episode a week show that helped it even though it averaged 29.9 million an episode?

Has the show ever been in the top 10 before this week?

It's nice to see Eli & Lani again but boy are they & the Juneteeth anniv. episodes (with Abe/Paulina's wedding celebration) a big snoozefest.

The show doesn't celebrate any other couple's wedding vows like they do Abe's. Steve's for example could use his other son popping in for a visit.

I'm already bored with this entire Abigail plotline & wonder (if it is her) how they can pull the whole thing off with any cred.

Did anyone else notice how shaky Abe’s hands were during the scene when he was reciting the poem?

Hope he’s ok.

R236, I wonder if as a streamer, they divide by 7 days rather than 5 days? Even at 7 days, that math works out to be 21.4 million daily views. No show let alone a soap on network television is getting that viewership anymore.

Has MAGA Zucker been defending her Trump-loving interview which has damaged her lawsuit?

R239 Don’t get too excited. You’re doing the math wrong. Days had 149.9 million MINUTES streamed that week, mot viewers. If you divide that by 5 days and then divide that by 40 minutes per episode, that comes to about 750,000 viewers. Much less than they had on NBC.

Why do some people try to take every nice piece of news about the show and poke holes in it? I don't think anyone was naive enough to believe that days still had the same numbers on streaming that they had on linear. The show might not be doing Bridgerton numbers, but it looks like Days is keeping the lights on over at Peacock.

r242

[quote] Variety tells a different story.

Link.

R241, that damn good! You obviously know nothing about streaming.

r244 r245

NuTate still reads too old on camera, but he does look like Brady. And I really like Aaron and Sophia.

R247

So this show only has 4 male cast members under 40 who aren't over the hill?

NuTate = 26?

Johnny = 30

Alex = 37

Chad who is 39 will turn the big 4-0 next year in 2025.

This show needs so much young blood it's downright scary.

What established characters can they add to rebalance this show? Age Chloe's son Parker? Who else?

^ Three years from now those 4 cast members ages will be 29, 33, 40 & 42 respectively so only two male cast members will be under the age of 40 LOL.

[quote] LOL.

LOOL! :)

[quote] This show needs so much young blood it's downright scary.

Does this show need NuTeens?

They're bringing in that new slut (A.L. Calderon) with the hairy legs, presumed to be called "Javi."

He's still 29.

No promo?

Is Rinna MAGA?

That would make sense after all of her squawking on SM about MAGA Zucker’s lawsuit.

BTW, is anyone here privy to the mods drama at Daytime Royalty? I have a question.

[quote] This show needs so much young blood it's downright scary.

No, it doesn’t. Age doesn’t make good story.

R255 I don't think so ... Harry & Lisa have a business entity called "Hambone Productions," through which they've made scads of donations over the years to Act Blue, the DCCC, and the PAC to End Citizens United. (Gotta love that last one.) .. Individual contributions have been made to Biden for President and that very vocal Dump hater, Nancy Pelosi for Congress, as well as other Democratic candidates. Apparently. about four years ago the Karens who watch QVC were writing letters to try to get her fired for her political beliefs. Yahoo entertainment report at link:

R263, thank you! I’m glad to read that.

Could this all really have been a power play by MAGA Zucker? Didn’t the show’s investigation support AA’s version?

I was a lapsed viewer during any pre-Judith Chapman appearances of Diana Colville.

Did Genie Francis play Diana as a boozy, smoking man-trap? I find that hard to picture. What was she like?

Also, I hate Brady with Theresa. I wish they would just put him with Kristen but I doubt it will ever happen.

So I wish they would bring back Ron Fave KDP as Eve for Brady. They made a believable couple, if Brady is supposed to be straight.

NuKristen and Brady need to be written off the show.

Welcome NuGabi.

r266 r267

I choose to see Judith Chapman's Diana as a completely different character than the Diana Genie Francis played. If they explained how Diana ended up this way (Chapman's version) I must have missed it.

Any idea what will become of what Diana said to Leo?

Spoilers for the coming week at 0:41 =

R249 Jonah Robinson, the actor playing Dr. Mark Greene in the new family, is 27.

He's got the hairy legs too.

[quote] He's got the hairy legs too.

And chest.

Diana lied about Leo’s DNA results - John Black IS his father.

The Mark Greene role should have been mine. Carlivati hates me now because I eat pussy.

Alas, Andrew Trischitta is only 29, but he’ll likely be bald by 40.

R276, who’s that?

Uh, Andrew Trischitta.

r274

I always thought she lied about the results... It will be funny that John could have 3 gay sons

AnnaLynne McCord was cast as Abigail Deveraux, or some mystery woman who shares the name Abigail? Is that confirmed or just speculation?

R200 MAGA Bitch! 🤣🤣

R265 Genie's version isn't anything like Judith's, from my observation. Genie played her more like a middle of the road heroine/potential troublemaker within reason, all in the name of love. Judith's portrayal is more like a lunatic.

R269 Leo's explanation, regarding his abusive father, towards him and his mother, supposedly is why Diana the way she is now. I actually almost referred to her as Gloria, for she seems more like her Y&R character than Diana.

R279 I'm with you, for I believe Leo is actually John's son as well. I was confused about the "three gay sons" part, but you're referring to Brady as being gay aren't you haha

The latest dish =

Chapman’s SOD interview has her saying the director told her to just “Go do what you do.” Basically, just being Gloria.

She talks about flying all over the world, going to Africa and Ireland, not needing to work. She banked that much 💴 during her career?

I watched Eva Tamargo in a recent Hallmark Mystery. She should join DAYS as NuMama Hernandez.

She needs to be there for Gabi when the truth comes out about Stefan and Ava, dispensing sage advice and poultices.

Chapman can sure afford the facelifts. She’s one note. Plays the same character over and over, regardless of the show. Saw her on an old Murder, She Wrote and yup, she was playing Gloria. No range to her acting.

Rikaart and Chapman are just doing their Po Kevvie and GloHo schtick, which they could probably do in their sleep. It was kind of interesting 20 years ago.

Dallas Buyers Breakfast Club

Been offline for a week or so - up in the mountains with no cell. Did Jonny and Chanel get out of dodge or was that just a plot ruse?

^^^ Excusez moi. Wrong thread.

I thought the scenes between Leo and his mother yesterday were great. As a more recent viewer, it showed the reasons why Leo is so "damaged" as a character.

(r293) I agree with you. It was some of the best work they've both done, and Leo added much dimension to his character.

Rikaart was pretty good but Chapman was waaaay over the top. (And, of course, she bears zero resemblance to pre-Carlivati Diana Colville.) I thought it was a very predictable way to lay the ground for Leo's rehabilitation.

I've enjoyed Leo, and Rikaart's portrayal, but it's time to cut that character loose.

Does Rikaart have a big dick?

Yes R297

I'd like to see GR's dick sword fighting with hot Sonny's massive cock.

5'9 Greg looks average at best. His husband used to have a video on FB featuring them on vacation in swimsuits. Not much to see.

Freddie Smith is still hot! I’d do him.

Today's episode was pretty good, but what is up with the games Dr. Green is playing with Leo?

Is Dr. Green’s girlfriend NuAbigail?

R302. This "I have a girlfriend" plot reeks of Paul, Will (& Gabi the baby maker) & other gay characters who have debuted on the show & other soaps.

Please don't waste Mark on Leo. Mark doesn't read daddy chaser, and Rikaart's old enough to be this guy's father.

Mark should have done his 'comforting' routine with Johnny when he delivered the bad news. I could definitely see Mark pounding some young Grade AAA bubble butt.

Promo

The Everett/Bobby storyline hasn't had any airtime in weeks - I forgot about it!

I'll give nuGabi some time, but I'm not feeling it. Camilla is so much prettier.

I totally agree with you, R308.

NuGabi is a hard pass for me — and not just because of the single elf ear she was sporting in lockup today. Seriously, has DOOL cut their entire hairstyling team?

Those CGI intros are rather laughable. Marlena's penthouse make Salem look like it a in a major metropolitan city and Salem U Hospital looks like something out of a Southpark cartoon.

[quote] Freddie Smith is still hot! I’d do him.

Hi, Freddie!

Ok, I'll say it. NuGabi is too mousy looking. She did not look good with Stefan either. Unless they are taking the character in a different direction, I don't see it working.

Also, what's going on with Jackee's face? It seems to have fallen or something.

(r314) She overdosed on Ozempic to lose the great amount of weight she has lost and, in the process, lost so much in her face that it's collapsing. All I could notice during her scenes on Friday was that strange thing going on on the right side of her face - it was like a loose flap of skin.

Cipmezo makes one GAIN weight on Melaswen.

Okay, I hadn't realized that she had lost weight, I was worried that she was sick.

Well, she IS radioactive!

Jackee’s face fell in. And Abe has the shakes. Those two won’t last long.

Jackee's face will be on the floor pretty soon.

NuGabi? Will Whoreton would never. even when drunk.

They should've waited for the Victor paternity reveal, exposed Theresa and sent her packing, and then had Emily O'Brien round the corner as NuGabi.

LOL, R321, I thought the EXACT same thing!

LOOL! :)

[quote] Seriously, has DOOL cut their entire hairstyling team?

Speaking of hair, did someone use a Floebee on Everett-Bobby?

Everett and Bobby cannot agree on a style.

W he at is your function on DOOL threads? For example are you a Promo! poster?

Spoilers start at 0:50 -

Andre has some strong feelings about this week's worth of shows

The new July DOOL thread has come a day early =
