Favorite long lost child out for REVENGE storyline?

Natalie (OLTL)
Eva (BTG)
Kendall (AMC)
Carly (GH)
Jonathan (GL)

I’m sure I’m missing some. Natalie from OLTL is my personal favorite, perhaps because it’s the only one I got to watch from the beginning, but man did I love her. She was angry but mostly broken after being raised by an alcoholic who barely took care of her. Knowing that your mom was wealthy and kind and raised another girl as you would break anyone. No excuse but an explanation.

Shout out to Jonathan for seemingly being one of the few male examples of this trope.

Are these the May Sweeps B&B Storylines?

Say it isn’t so! This cannot be the May Sweeps. B & B storylines. These current storylines are boring as heck! Hope being self centered and throwing her tangents and hoping her Mom would come to get aide. Of course, Hope cannot go down alone on her sinking ship. The Carters, Remy’s return, Electra forgiving Dylan, Brooke seducing Ridge per usual, Finn & Steffy ALWAYS making out. Dylan & Remy being cousins. Okay! A shocker. Zende actually has a voice. Wow! Who knew he could stand up for himself? He took a page from Hope’s book for a change. RJ looking like he could drink Electra’s blood every time he says her name. Katie constantly tearing up and looking sad. Grab a tissue honey! Bill constantly reiterating Eric was paid handsomely for his designs and the work belongs to Logan. Eric constantly complaining about something he willingly did, and Steffy being bratty Steffy, Oh Daddy! Support & Choose Me! Okayyy!

Never thought I would EVER say that I like to Taylor’s face again onscreen. However, I am so looking forward to watching how the Deacon, Taylor, and Sheila’s Romeo & Juliet storyline unfolds.

Former Days head-writer Ron Carlivati speaks out on rumors about the new writers being forced to use his outline

In a Twitter thread started between The Chat host/my mutual Alan Sarapa and a Twitter user name Tia, they started a discussion about Paula Cwikly and Marie Jeane Ford, the current head writers of Days that replaced Ron Carlivati, and Ron responded to the rumors about the new Days writers being ‘forced’ to finish up his storylines.

Which has officially been denied by Ron himself.

All of the material that we seen after Ron exit was all new and that he had a different vision in mind for EJ shooting storyline, John Black Death, and possibly other storylines. Though, he never confirmed what the outcome of his planned storylines would’ve looked like.

If you woke up in Oakdale, what would you do?

First, never underestimate Barbara Ryan. Ever. She could go from classy icon to absolute menace in two scenes flat.

Second, order one drink at Metro and end up hearing enough gossip to last the entire year.

Third, be nervous anytime Molly and Carly were in the same orbit because that energy could turn chaotic FAST.

Fourth, I’m hanging with Luke in As the World Turns, it’s just chill talk at Java. We’d end up talking Noah and Reid the whole time. Then we’d both just relate on being LGBT in a small, judgmental town, trying to love without everybody watching.

Fifth, End up trapped at Memorial Hospital for 14 hours because half the town got into an accident during a storm.

Sixth, DON’T get burned like Barbara Ryan like Craig did her at the boathouse.

Seventh, watch and see Lily and Holden getting back together. And see Carly and Jack at their home with their child.

Lastly, stay emotionally prepared for random heartbreak because Oakdale could go from cozy to devastating REAL fast.

Did you name your child….

Not sure if allowed, but , did anyone name their child after a soap character? I’ve known few who did through the years.

Characters with the darkest exits?

These are the two that first spring to mind for me.

Trevor Dillon (AMC)
The Dillons left Pine Valley after Janet murdered an ex-inmate of hers, for which Trevor tried to take the rap, who was threatening her family. Years later their daughter, Amanda, returned to town followed shortly by Janet where we found out that Janet had stop taking her antipsychotic medication and murdered Trevor. She disposed of his body by stuffing it into an icebox stuffed.

Frankie Frame (AW)
Frankie was strangled to death by a serial killer while begging for her life, exclaiming to her murderer “I beg of you, I have a child”.

If you woke up in Harmony, what would you do?

First of all, I'm staying miles away from the Crane family because every single one of them got secrets, obsessions, or an attempted-murder moment on their résumé. That whole bloodline is cursed.

Second, I'm absolutely robbing a bank because Harmony PD don't solve NOTHING. Folks break out of jail like it's a revolving door. At this point it's community service.

Third, I'm keeping holy water, sage, AND a therapist on standby. Not one or the other - all three. Harmony too chaotic to be raw-dogging reality.

Fourth, Spike gotta GO. Permanently. No resurrections, no "surprise twist," no nothing.

Fifth, I'm calling a whole town meeting because everybody in Harmony needs help, prayer, and probably witness protection. That city is spiritually and emotionally uninsured.

Sixth, I'm not stepping foot in ANY room where Tabitha smiling too hard. That's the universal sign that witchcraft is loading.

Lastly, the second I see zombies, floating voices, glowing eyes, or anything that look like a budget horror movie? I'm packing my bags. That's God telling me, "Baby, it's time to go."
