Uh, ok, but females are born with all the eggs they will have/ovulate. So with all these 50+ women on Days, were all their eggs gone from their ovaries? If yes, did they have donor eggs (rhetorical since I know the answer is no) in order to get pregnant?! Still doesn’t pass the IRL science test.

Not just that, but the writers really screwed themselves having Sheila cut off a toe. Beggars belief that Sugar: 1) cut off the exact same toe Sheila did; and if so 2) no one in prison was aware of it

I know nothing about the whole Sheila/Sugar saga except what Lauren told Deacon in the last 1-2 episodes…but Lauren did tell him Sugar is still in jail. So why do they still think it’s possible Sugar was the person cremated?! Just go to the fricking prison where Sugar might be and see if she’s there and how many toes she has! It’s not rocket science, people!

IF, IF, IF the show had started out from the very beginning as an "alternate" view of history a la Bridgerton, then I could handle all the modern PC (and I'm a progressive!) stuff the show has introduced over the years. But, as we know, WCTH never started that way...so all these anachronisms are jarring and stick out like an elephant at a funeral.

Please correct me, but I think the reason Lauren was the only person who believed Deacon that Sheila might still be alive is because Lauren is the only one who knows that Sugar had ‘Sheila facial surgery’. Maybe if everyone who Deacon told knew about the Sugar clone, they’d think Sheila could be alive too.

With today’s flashback, you can see the work the actress who plays Lauren has done to her face. Ironic because she was telling the story of how Sugar had face work done to look like Sheila! Anyhoo, I remember when I was a kid and first saw Lauren on Y&R, I thought her front teeth looked weird but they no longer look strange to me, so the actress got her teeth worked on as well.

Question: what did Kon say to justify him staying in the US? What's his cover story? We know he wants to get Maggie's money, but what explanation did he invent to cover for suddenly abandoning his restaurant and life in Greece? So he’s an illegal immigrant? Looks like the illegal immigrant issue isn’t confined to the border with Mexico!

Everyone sang the “Happy Birthday” song to Nathan. Was that song common knowledge at that time? (Was the song even written at that time?!)

I’ve long since stopped fretting about this show’s anachronism in fashion (hair and clothes). Sorry to flog this horse again, but why did WCTH reverse course and is now having Nathan and Elizabeth get together? Was it really only because the show has a new show runner? And does anyone feel the show did enough in the last 1-2 seasons to lay the seeds for this reversal?

I know Eric has/had romantic relationships with Brooke and Donna, but I don’t recall him hooking up with Beth or Katie…? But I do recall there was a time it seemed the writers wanted to “go there “ with Eric and Katie when she bought a house next to Eric.

If Jarly = Jax and Carly, no thanks. I was there at the beginning of Jax and Brenda and always shipped this couple, through all their ups and downs. “Nobody leaves.”

FYP. The B&B writers still live in pre-womens’ lib 20th century.

Huh, wow - I’m a little surprised this interview makes it so clear that S11 will be Nathan/Liz. What I don’t quite understand is this interview says the reason Elizabeth is turning to Nathan is because she’s finally “out of her cocoon”. ??? Granted, I don’t pay close attention when watching the show, and have fast forwarded within episodes, but how was she not out of her cocoon the entire time she was with Lucas? Two more things: 1) I don’t like Liz’s new haircut (underwhelming and is just a short version of her usual long hair); 2) Kevin is the WCTH version of Marvel Cinematic Universe Mark Ruffalo: spilling spoilers/plot. 😀🤣

Hi, @Retired at last, regarding the bolded, do you mean Days has never had the same actor/actress playing two different characters? Actually, the actor currently playing Roman played a character named Chris many, many decades ago AND the actor who occasionally plays Rex used to play Brady AND the actress playing Ava used to portray Nicole’s sister (I can’t remember the sister’s name). Am I forgetting any other examples, long time Days watchers?

But why? It seemed pretty definite- and final - that Elizabeth chose Lucas at the end of S9? (maybe 8?) so I don’t understand why the show might now make Elizabeth have a romance with Nathan. That seems disrespectful to Lucas, the Lucas shippers, and the writing from what came before. And this is coming from me - a Nathan/Liz shipper! Will the show just have Elizabeth ping pong back and forth between the two men every season? Pick a lane and stick with it, WCTH!
