August Awakenings Await In Salem = DOOL

Eric & Nicole left the Salem buildings scene for the French city of romance.

Now that the double wedding sank big time = Alex, Xander & Sarah are back to their dull selves.

Co-conspirator Andrew congratulated NuTheresa for turning herself in for her crimes.

Boring drunk Brady found another boring drunk in ancient Fiona (who is possibly based on Mumm-Ra the Ever Living).

Rafe has been laid up for over a week now as the show easily marches on without him.

The writers ramp up this great big "Body & Soul" arc.

Discuss.

Now would be as good a time as any for the show to stop airing these insipid storylines for a while and to come back in a few months. The Tuesday (30th) show does not bode well for the arrival of August unless Leo, who is banging on the door is going to put Connie (and the viewers) out of their misery by killing her and her especially grating voice, not to mention almost non-existent acting skill.

DOOL?

by Anonymousreply 3July 30, 2024 11:06 PM

I vote for the Salem Docks where we find a now-teenaged Parker Jonas going undercover as a rentboy as he desperately searches for his boyfriend, Tyler Wilkens, a homeless teen who was kicked out of the house six months ago after his fundie parents found out he was gay!

And is that pimp, Quinn Hudson, we see? .. Recall, Quinn forced Parker's mother, Chole Lane, into prostitution with her working the docks. .. What a coincidence! .. It turns out Quinn now has a stable of twinks he sells to the men of Salem. .. And it looks like Tyler has been taken in by Quinn, with the young man quickly becoming one of Quinn's most popular tricks.

And if/when Parker ever finds Tyler, who will be there to connect the dots that "Tyler Wilkens" is actually "Tyler Kiriakis," Phillip's adopted-out baby?

I could see some bad john roughing Tyler up with Parker finding him and taking him to Salem U. hospital for treatment. .. Perhaps Parker can carry Tyler into the ER like Brady did Chole after she was attacked on the pier!. .. There, Kayla comes into the ER, and when she sees the name "Tyler Wilkens" on the chart, she stops in her tracks and asks, "Pocket? .. POCKET!? .. Is that YOU!?"

The best thing they did with the “mansion” set was make the entry hall look very large. Clever detail for tricking you into thinking the livingroom is grander than it really is.

The neutral color palette is on point too, though about seven years out of date. But why not show the trailer trash that probably watches this what unyielding “good taste” looks like.

The only moments worth watching today were those between Chad and Leo. They were genuinely sweet and smoldering, too. A kiss would have been a nice climax. Otherwise, one of the worst episodes in recent memory. Stefan and Gabi and that poem were ponderous at best. I wish Connie had planted a bomb in Bobby's room and we could be spared Jada, Bobby and Stephanie. As for Connie - who did she sleep with to get this gig? There can be no other reason. She is not a fun villainess, nor an original one nor an actress. She is a bore and drags every scene into the murky depths.

So the show has departed ways with the couples Tripp & Wendy, Eric & Nicole, Eli & Lani, Tony & Anna, as well as Clyde & his gal pal cop.

Solo departing acts = Harris, NuSonny (again), Aaron, Lucas, Everett, Doug, Constantine, Leo's jogging buddy that ended up in the Salem Inn with him, Paul (soon), Andrew (soon), Li (soon), Connie (soon), Jack (soon), Fiona (soon), & it would seem like Ava will be sent to Tripp's stomping grounds after NuGabi finds out about the affair.

Other than the new McCord actress, who has been hired to replace all of these departing actors? That New Dr. Green & his special ed. sister hasn't been seen in weeks.

Plus with the upcoming Bill Hayes funeral episodes, it will also be the show's 15,000th episode. So, that will be two tributes rolled into one.

by Anonymousreply 113August 8, 2024 1:09 AM

Andrea is a teacher in Virginia. I believe when they created the role of Hattie; the show paid for Andrea to get a "touch-up" because she has been aging naturally, while our wonderful Dee has had some enhancements over the years. This was back when the show had a lot of cash.

by Anonymousreply 114August 8, 2024 1:19 AM

Deidre's twin sister Andrea Hall originally played Marlena's twin sister Samantha Evans from 1977-79. Samantha Evans had some mental problems and at one point took Marlena's place, locking Marlena someplace.

This was back in the days before shows could afford to do split screens with one actor playing both twins. So, a twin storyline was a novelty at the time. Then in the 80s when the budgets were increased and shows could afford to do split screens, one actor playing two roles became somewhat common.

Samantha Evans was killed off by Jake Kositchek, the Salem Strangler in 1982. And then in 1984 after Marlena gave birth to twins, she named her new daugther Samantha after her sister.

Then in 2000-01, Andrea Evans returned to the show, this time playing Hattie, a waitress who had a passing resemblance to Marlena and who for some reason had a grudge against Marlena (I forget why). Stefano, through his henchmen, convinced Hattie to get plastic surgery to look exactly like Marlena. Then Stefano taught Hattie how to impersonate Marlena, with the eventual plan being for Hattie to take Marlena's place after Stefano kidnapped Marlena. But then that storyline was suddenly dropped for some reason and Hattie left town.

Hattie has turned up several more times since 2001, but Deidre Hall played her on each return visit.

Well, Dee reportedly made $1 million a year from her return in 1991 until being fired in 2008. Reportedly took a huge pay cut when they brought Marlena back in 2011.

So, Dee's naturally going to be jealous of anyone pulling in bigger bucks than she is.

I also hope O'Brien returns as Gwen. With Abigail's possible resurrection and Jack on canvas, as well as Leo, it would make sense to bring her back.

I can't quite get a handle on the BTS direction of the show. Alarr was, obviously, problematic, but under his watch there were frequent returns by fan faves, and the narrative seemed tighter, and the pacing quicker.

That prolonged scab writing really took the wind out of the show's sails, but I am still enjoying it.

Looking back on his tenure, I think Ron needed a co-head writer (his equal) to balance out his default 80s camp tendencies. Days have always had comic relief, but it was never silly. I hope the new writers don't let us down. The new EP has been with the show a long time, but I do wish they would have gone another route.

Friday's show was beyond dull. The never-ending prattle between Stefan and Kristen about his dalliance with Ava was endless. Who cares! As for Stephanie and Alex - the breaking of the dishes and tedium associated with any scene containing one or the other or both, served no purpose for any story advancement.

This was the worst end of the week episode in recent memory.

Connie is the only one on the show now that can get things done fast = Everett's death & now blowing the whistle on the affair. Way to go girl!

If she's on another month there won't be any lingering subplots LOL. I can't believe this 1 character got to kill 2 guys under 45 years old in about 9 months, but all of the senior citizens are running around acting like they're 50 on this show.

Is there a costume person on this show and, if so, why would they dress her the way they do? Nothing she wears is flattering, sexy, professional or attractive and the ever-present boots do nothing. The Abigail storyline already is uninteresting, and I can see them dragging it on for months and months like the Constantin yawn overstayed itself.

Assistant stuff. Keep his schedule. Schedules meetings between rounds of golf. Keeps him on track between rounds of golf. Makes sure the stuff that needs his signature gets signed between rounds of golf. He's still the President of the Company, which owns all of Days and a piece of Y&R, so he has to do some president of the Company stuff between rounds of golf. After golf, his second love is music.

Gabi had to take-charge and climb on top of Will assuming the reverse cowboy position. That way, Will didn't have to look at her girly face and bouncing tits. Gabi even put her hair up under a baseball cap and wore crew socks.

From that perspective, Gabi looked enough like Gay Dario (whose photo Will could see on the dresser across the room), so it worked.

Zach Tinker's butt would be my first choice.

As for today's show, it could have used Zach and his butt - any male and his butt. What an absolute bore.

Gabi and Stefan have not a whit of chemistry and her character as written (now) is awful. I did like the scene between Roman and Ava, however.

As usual, the show telegraphs everything in advance, whenever a character either talks to themself about something they've done or makes a phone call in a room with the door open. You know someone is going to walk in and overhear something. It's predictable and routine by now. Why didn't non-Abby go to her room to make her call instead of choosing the living room of the mansion with the door wide open? Real people are seldom as stupid as this show portrays them as being. And how many people detail what their character has done out loud (as Fiona did yesterday when Xander arrived).

Are there no writers left who can surprise at least once per episode?

My partner and I make bets as to who is going to walk into the room whenever this tired set-up occurs. The one who guesses right, gets to be the top that evening.

I've been bored since the EJ/Gabi reveal & the wedding blowup. The rest have been some boring eps.

They are trying to do something rare with the B. & Soul story but it's going at a snail's pace.

I do like the Chanel/Alex relationship being brought back up after over a year+ in the soap grave.

I wondered what they'd give boring Janel & an Alex angel looks like the next step.

I love this NuNuGabi as a cutthroat bitch who stood up to EJ, Kristen, Stefan & now both DiMera bros again in record time.

Her & Connie are really moving plots while the rest are chewing the scenery.

I love NuEJ & how he used NuAbbi to twist the knife to both Stefan & Gabi's volcanic relationship. NuEJ deserves a Daytime Emmy for his great work this year.

Johnny hasn't been seen with his Granny Mar in so long I forgot they were related when he say H. Adams the other day. Leo's scenes with Hattie were a highlight for me this week but I don't watch for two characters to be on a bed watching another tv show (even if it's a gay one).I t's good that Trask is getting more screen time & with another non cast member is a shocker.

[quote]Then in 2000-01, Andrea Evans returned to the show, this time playing Hattie, a waitress who had a passing resemblance to Marlena and who for some reason had a grudge against Marlena (I forget why).

The original Hattie storyline was uploaded to Youtube recently, until some fucknut took it down. The original story was very well-acted by Andrea Hall and creatively written by Tom Langan.

Hattie was a fan of Dr. Higley whose radio show Marlena took over while at the university. Hattie couldn't stand Marlena's aloof manner and was jealous of her beauty and success. Several restaurant patrons noticed Hattie's slight resemblance to Marlena, and at Stefano's insistence, Bart and Rolf begin to groom Hattie while she works at the diner.

Hattie gets surgery using her own money from tips hidden under her mattress. Marlena becomes aware that someone is stalking her who is gradually starting to look more like her and thinks it's her dead sister Samantha...

by Anonymousreply 356August 27, 2024 3:57 PM

Tom Langan had written a follow-up story to Hattie's that was due to start airing in the Fall of 2002 called 'The Ghosts of Salem'.

It was supposed to reintroduce Hattie now played by Deidre Hall, and somehow it was tied into a story about a mystery woman locked away in a remote castle who cried over John's picture, rumored to be Kristen Blake.

Tom Langan was fired before it started but some of his ideas were recycled in the Salem Staker story.

The possession story was disliked by a number of fans, yet it proved popular with younger audiences and injected some interest into the show. I really liked the The Queen of the Night setup for the possession storyline.

Before that, Marlena had stripped for Stefano at Maison Blanch when she and John were being held captive by him (and his henchwoman Celeste), which did something terrible to Stefano's obsessive brain.

The affair was inevitable. When Dee and Wayne returned in 91, I think they thought they could recreate that old OG Roman and Marlena chemistry, but it was gone. Jim Reilly gave an interview at the time in which he politely said that the show was stupid not to go the triangle route when they were first brought back. The affair was the first story in his Bible.

Many fans misunderstood what the possession story was really about and didn't like it. They took it literally instead of looking at the story's deeper meaning. And while Jim Reilly was not above shenanigans to get people tuned in. Marlena turning into a panther and levitating was to get people talking and sampling the show, with the hopes that they would stay for the love story. And they did.

When Ron revisited it, that was a campy mess with no relation to the original. Ron doesn't do deep and psychological.

Millennial Marlena .. you'd almost think she was Gen Z!

I don’t say this very often, but I found today’s episode so boring I threw in the towel halfway through, and went to find something more interesting to do – like watching paint dry.

R392 I enjoyed it with all of the guest stars (Melinda, Connie, Thomas, etc.) & NuAbby & NuGabi having their first scenes together.

I could use a new Chad instead of the bugged eyed one we've been stuck with for about a decade.

He must have a "hugging clause" in his contract because that's all he ever does including this week.

I'm so over him.

By “90s” do you refer to her age?

R400, is he one of Ron’s last additions?

by Anonymousreply 401August 31, 2024 2:43 AM

Yes, because there's another video clip of him with NuGabi, Rafe, and Jada and it's Christmas in Whoreton Square, and we know Ron's work airs into 2025.

Greg Vaughan is still on contract. He'll be gone again and back again before he's finally gone for good.

Why is Greg leaving?

by Anonymousreply 406August 31, 2024 12:10 PM

They didn't renew his contract.

by Anonymousreply 407August 31, 2024 12:12 PM

Greg recently said that it wasn't his decision to leave. I would assume because the show had to write out hot mess and Trumper, Ariane Zucker, they wanted to give the audience some type of happily ever after for this couple. In all honesty though, I was tried of Eric's crying.

by Anonymousreply 408August 31, 2024 2:28 PM

Kelly Monaco should come on as Noelle Curtis It would involve a retcon to make Noelle older but that wouldn't be too bad. If Eric comes back without Nicole, they would be good... They were great on GH

by Anonymousreply 409August 31, 2024 2:39 PM

(r408) Totally agree about Eric's crying and more often than not, exhibiting a facial expression that indicated he was passing a Kidney stone. As attractive as he was, the character had become a whiny, self-pitying bore. Unless he is going to jump into bed with Leo, we really don't need him. Jensen never played the role that way.

by Anonymousreply 410August 31, 2024 2:44 PM

Jensen was hot too as Eric but I prefer this stud.

by Anonymousreply 411August 31, 2024 2:52 PM

Eric was hot when Kristen drugged him and he fucked the shit out of her. Yeah, I know, technically, it was rape, but Father Eric was into it. Eric was also hot when he was with Sloan. Greg is a hot man, and he should be running around shirtless and just fucking bitches.

Monaco gets fired after balking at her pay cut and reduced minimum, and people think DAYS is going to pay her what she thinks she's worth? Hilarious.

They found the money to pay Steve Burton but had to fire some people.

And with no qualifiable ROI. Lesson learned.

Maybe they'll take Greg back if he agrees to spice things up with partial nudity

by Anonymousreply 418August 31, 2024 7:36 PM

Burton was begging for a job at that point. He hadn't been working (on a soap) and the split from his wife in 2022 meant he'd be down to one-income. Plus, even though she caused the divorce, he'd still be paying her $12,500 per month in child support for two years, and $10,000 after that. Her spousal support figure was $2,500 per month until it reached $50,000. I hope he appreciates the fact that gay Ron was willing to write for his character after featuring him in Beyond Salem 2.

Glad to hear boring Eric is on his way out for good.

Now does anyone know who saves Melinda from Connie's clutches?

R422 If you look closely, the guy's IG tag is on his white shirt in white type. His name is Phil Jimenez: philjimeneznyc

He's some famous comic book artist-writer. He's been on the Out 100 List in the past.

I notice Ms. Hansis follows him.

On Erika Sleazak's Foundation TV interview, she says Ron worked his way up on the OLTL set from being Paul Rauch's "slave" to the exe producer. She says the word "slave" several times in the interview, but admires Ron's toughness that we went from mopping floors to running the show.

No, it was Frank Valentini who went from being Paul Rauch's assistant to being the EP of OLTL.
