I’m thrilled! She just liked a tweet I wrote yesterday when I saw a picture of her NOT in prison garb. Happy to know she’s out of jail.

This is great news! I think she is one of the most interesting characters on the show. I am still hoping for a Gabi/Stefan pairing.

To me, the funniest part of Gabi’s storyline is that in prison before visiting Eli and Chad, she had gotten her hair done perfectly in that braid style (not sure if that’s called a French braid or not…lol) and her nails were perfectly manicured. I was surprised she was reading an actual book and not reading a Kindle or iPad…..if this is how you get treated in prison, well, before she took an ass whooping, then everyone should want to be in prison at some point of their life……off subject, I must say that Marci Miller does an excellent job… Read more »

Totally agree, Scott. Marci Miller has been fabulous!

Guest

I didn’t see anything wrong with her hair. She could have done it or another inmate. They have time on their hands. Her nails were probably manicured before she went in. After some time in there, her nails would probably not look so great.

Gabi should have been in protective custody. That’s what rings hollow the most in this prison storyline.

No thanks. Haven’t watched in a long time. Not interested in nu-Abigail or Gabi. I only tune-in for Kristen Dimera sightings.

Guest

Celia

Hopefully we will see Kristen soon, dmr……I don’t know who I like more, Susan or Kristen….

Guest

Satan

Well, the one irony of this mess is that it would be seemingly impossible to tell any story which would somehow exonerate Psycho Ben without involving the DiMeras. And with Stefano & Andre being dead, Chad a goody two shoes (when not delivering a well deserved beat down) and Stefan being too new to the family to be involved, that would leave Kristen as the only eligible DiMera to be behind such an unholy plot. We already know she was in on the faking of Will’s death, and also EJ’s, so it’s not much of a stretch to write her… Read more »

I am tired of fake death plots. DAYS is a great soap but producing/writing teams on that program rely on this trope too much. When someone dies in Salem, I just expect one day they will walk through the door again. It happens too much on the other daytime dramas too.

That’s terrific, I love her!

Lets hope she stays away from prison for a change and has a success at business…she should take her stuff and sell online…

Glad to hear it! Really like her in the role!

Not a fan, but she is good to have around when you need someone to blame a murder on.

The Storylines just drag on toooo long – how many more months are those 3 women going to be locked up together in that stupid room –

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
