I dont get that channel…wish Days was more Holiday themed this week…the 50th Anniversary-where did it go-i blinked at it was gone!!!…It shouldve had more flashbacks and brief visits from characters from the 60s to the present…it just lacked…the best part was the return of some vets… Will and Paige shouldve never been killed off…im giving it a c- for the 50th but Days is the most improved soap and im enjoying it again!!!
I wasn’t “sure” how this was going to play out… on ABS part… with Chad going all robotto or commando
but…. LOL (yes) DAYS throws in a wrench for ABS… at the Horton Square… she “loses” it… and throws her coffee cup (in the same, window) that JJ went ballistic
could this be ABS post menopausal… frustrated ! fire her up!?!?
earlier , I liked how she looked dazed and unemotional… as she handed Tom over to Grandma Jenn… and just left the house
so…. LOL
whew! these two are still have at it …
yearning for more
Go Chad n’ Abs
on a sidebar : I truly am very dissapointed at the writers for letting Stefano …. go along with Andre’ schemes ???? even in a wheelchair… Stefano would never allow his own … how shall we put this…. one does not eat their own… The DiMera have always been beset by tragedy
I’m hoping this is when the recast for either Peter Blake or EJ returns and reigns, helms, and tourede force the DiMera
I love dearly Joseph Mascolo’ Stefano… and know he’s on his way out… what a LEAD
“You were involved with my daughter, Paige… now… you are involved with my other daughter…. hows that going? ”
WOAH! you could here a pin drop… spine chilling moment… JJ cajones lost
Eduardo’ scenes with John…
Eduardo’ scenes with Kate…
Eduardo’ scenes with Eve…
major applause
he never lets up
one more plug! DAYS ; fix this gaping remiss…. “watching Eve”… with Justin in Horton Square…. I can’t help but know…. this is INTELLIGENT stuff…. a tour de force act… that bar none… shares her worth… carries with the cast… and is an acting dream for the audience
Patrick, Abby is in her twenties. No way is she menopausal. I know you misspoke. I believe you mean post-partum. Perhaps she is suffering from post-partum depression. You make a good, valid point. Also, how coincidental is breaking the same window as her brother? Insanity does run in the family, lol.

This is excellent news. I met Jen at a DOOL book signing and she was very kind and beyond gorgeous. I love her character now that she is so more layers and has rooting value. Congrats on the success of the record!

“Daytime television invites viewers into the private lives of characters, often bringing important issues like cancer screenings into living rooms and around water coolers. Soaps debuted the first cancer storyline in 1962 – years before the topic was discussed in the mainstream, and it left an indelible impact: a whole generation of women who scheduled a potentially life-saving Pap smear for the first time,” said Daytime Stands Up host Alan Locher. “For so many viewers, this brought the issue front and center,” added co-host Michael Fairman. “Today, it’s become almost impossible to avoid; but there is hope with cancer research, thanks to organizations like Stand Up To Cancer.”
SU2C Co-Founder Sue Schwartz, SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, Ph.D., and SU2C Health Equity Committee Member Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., will also participate to speak to the importance of early detection, exciting scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing work yet to be done to make screenings and treatment equitable for all.
“This year, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer, presenting an opportunity for the public to stand with us and rise to the occasion,” said Adams. “We’re thankful to Alan Locher, Michael Fairman and our friends from the daytime television community, who will raise critical funding to honor those we’ve lost – and to propel new scientific breakthroughs for current and future patients. Everyone has a story, and we’re grateful to all of you for sharing yours.”
For over 15 years, SU2C has leveraged its relationship with the entertainment community – which includes more than 1,100 celebrity ambassadors – to generate public donations, increase awareness and fund cutting-edge cancer research. SU2C research has contributed to the development of more than 10 scientific breakthroughs that have significantly impacted the field and provided new treatment options for breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, pancreatic, pediatric and prostate cancers.
