It was really wonderful to speak with these actors once again, even though it may be the last time. I’m sad that the show is ending. They really packed a lot into each episode, though.
I do have to apologize a bit because I was having a very hectic week, so I didn’t prepare as well as I usually do, and this made nervous, so I was a little off my game. The cast and showrunner were excellent at answering some of my off-the-wall questions and comments, anyway.
Fellow journalist and friend Sammi Turano of TV Grapevine was in two of the roundtables and then had to leave. I hope you enjoy the interviews, and the show, which premieres tomorrow, Tuesday, January 9th on NBC!
Here’s a scene that we mentioned in two of the interviews, just FYI…

Season 3 Premiere January 9 on NBC (9-10pm ET/PT). Streaming next day on Peacock.
âLa Breaâ follows an epic family adventure after a massive sinkhole opens in Los Angeles pulling people and buildings into a mysterious and dangerous primeval land where they have no choice but to band together to survive.
Creator/Showrunner David Appelbaum executive produces with Chris Hollier, Peter Traugott, Rachel Kaplan, Avi Nir, and Alon Shtruzman,
âLa Breaâ is produced by Universal Television and Australiaâs Matchbox Pictures, both divisions of Universal Studio Group in association with Keshet Studios.
Nicole wasted no time hoping in bed with EJ. What happened to her depression over losing her baby? She was upset at the idea of having another baby, but she was okay with doing what it takes to make a baby. Maybe she wasnât as upset about the loss of her baby as she claims. We understand she wants to take her mind off her troubles, but it seems like she should have waited before having sex.
Why was Tate being accused of drugging Holly? The police treated him as if he put the drugs down Hollyâs throat. They must have forgotten about the other people who overdosed on drugs. Was Tate suddenly responsible for the other people overdosing? Maybe we missed something, but we didnât see why Tate was arrested for Holly overdosing.
Tate got himself in trouble when he tried to protect Holly after she overdosed. He should have told the police the truth about the drugs instead of trying to cover it up. If he did the right thing, he wouldnât have to worry about the trouble he was in. It didnât make sense for him to protect her at the risk of getting into trouble himself. We know he likes her, but going to prison wouldnât be worth it.
The writers tried to rewrite Lucas and Willâs story by having Brady take credit for Tate giving Holly the drugs. We know Brady wanted to protect Tate, but it didnât make sense for him to claim credit for the drugs since Tate was innocent. Tate might have had a better shot of getting off than Brady would have. Clearly, Brady didnât have faith that Tate would get off the hook for what happened.
Alex had nerve telling Theresa that Justin wasnât a good enough lawyer for Tateâs case. He didnât have the right to make that call just because his financial status changed. Now that he thinks heâs Victorâs son he thinks Justin isnât a good enough lawyer. We canât wait to see the look on Alexâs face when he finds out the truth about Victor. He needs to be knocked off his high horse.
Why was EJ so determined to make Tate pay for what happened to Holly? EJ doesnât have any proof that Tate gave her drugs, yet he is treating him as if he put the drugs down her throat. Nicole wasnât determined to make Tate pay and Holly is her daughter. If anyone wanted Tate to pay, it would be Nicole. EJ is going overboard trying to play the hero for Nicole. His efforts are in vain because she still wants to be with Eric.

Eric and Sloanâs baby was kidnapped Sloan left Jude unattended to look for her wallet at Sweet Bits. We could focus on that stupidity alone. What type of parent would leave a child unattended to look for anything? She could have taken the baby inside with her to look for the wallet. Weâre pretty sure Sweet Bits allows children inside. She took him inside to pay for her things. For some reason, she was careless with her money and left the wallet on the counter. Itâs time to stop for a second. Thereâs no way she would be stupid enough not to put her wallet back in her pocketbook. What distracted her that much that she would do that? She doesnât need to go out if she gets distracted like that. Sloan decided it was a good idea to leave Jude outside and go in to look for her wallet. Needless to say, that was the wrong choice to make. Speaking of her decision to leave her son alone, why would she go to Sweet Bits? She hates Chanel so why would she want to give her any business? She could have taken Jude somewhere else to get some air.
Itâs time to get back to the point of this rant. Sloan left Jude alone and he got kidnapped. She panicked when she saw that he was missing. Sloan left her baby alone and he disappeared. What a shock! The police got involved with the kidnapping. Eric reminded Rafe that Nicole kidnapped Samiâs baby, so he went to see EJ. EJ vehemently denied Nicoleâs involvement in the kidnapping. Mondayâs episode ended with a cliffhanger when EJ caught Nicole with the baby. Nicole was the kidnapper. We liked how the writers didnât drag out the identity of the kidnapper. They allowed us to find out in the same episode the kidnapping happened. We had to tune in to find out why Nicole took the baby. Her justification brings us to the next part of our rant.
The aftermath of the kidnapping As we mentioned earlier, Sloan left the baby alone when Nicole kidnapped him. We brought it up again for a reason. Nicole used that as her reason for taking the baby. She told EJ that she took Jude because Sloan left the baby alone. Nicole felt like Sloan didnât deserve to be a mother for that mistake. Weâre sure Nicoleâs fans felt like she was justified doing that to Sloan. The situation leaves us torn. We know that Sloan is wrong for what she did to Nicole and Eric. She took her baby and let Nicole think her son was dead. With that said, Nicole didnât have the right to kidnap the baby. She thought she had the right because she lost her baby. We know that Jude is her son, but she doesnât know that. As far as the law is concerned, she committed a crime. Nicole isnât innocent because she has a bigger fanbase than Sloan. We were shocked when EJ was the voice of reason in the storyline. He told Nicole to give the baby back to Sloan and Eric. When EJ wants to do the right thing, that speaks volumes. Nicole agreed with him and gave the baby back.
EJ and Nicole turned the baby in, and Sloan wanted to throw the book at her. We saw the irony flag waving too. She had a lot of nerve to get mad at Nicole for taking her own baby. Sloan has to keep up false pretenses, so she has to be the upset mother. She did what any mother would do. Sloan wanted justice for the kidnapping. Eric expected her to show Nicole mercy for what she did. We couldnât believe what we were hearing. He thought Sloan should show her mercy for what she did. If the shoe were on the other foot, Nicole would not do the same. Once she finds out the truth, she wonât forgive Sloan for taking her baby. Eric wanted too much leniency for Nicole because he felt sorry for her. We think he did it because he loves her. Itâs not likely he would have sympathy for the kidnapper if EJ took the baby. He would expect Rafe to throw the book at him. Eric expects Sloan to take a lot where Nicole is concerned. He believed she just needed to talk to someone, and her problems would be over. Eric made the wrong call. Nicole should get some time in jail for what she did. We know the truth, but they insist on keeping them in the dark about it. He shouldnât want Nicole to get a slap on the wrist for what she did since he wouldnât let anyone get away with it.
Stephanieâs attitude with Chad Chad listened to Paulinaâs advice and decided to apologize to Stephanie for what happened. He poured his heart out to her about his concerns with Everett. The conversation didnât go the way she thought. Chad broke up with her. Stephanie became vicious when he ended their relationship. Stephanie packed her stuff and moved out of their apartment. How did she think their relationship would work when she didnât live there anymore? She drew the line in the sand when she moved out of the apartment. Stephanie got upset with him for leaving. We believe she wanted to be the one to dump him. Her ego couldnât handle getting dumped. Chad and Stephanie are not a good couple and needed to break up. She wants Everett and itâs a matter of time before she gets together with him. Stephanie needs every eligible man in town.
The Horton tree trimming dinner Long time fans know that Days has a tradition of showing the Hortons gather for Christmas. They gather at Tom and Aliceâs house for the tree trimming dinner. They put their personalized ornaments on the tree. The traditional moment resonates with fans. Itâs part of their tradition. We praise the writers for including the tradition, but something felt off about it. Most of the family werenât there for the ceremony. You could count the amount of Hortons at the ceremony. There were people at the dinner who didnât belong there. Xander, Stephanie, and Everett arenât part of the family and shouldnât have been there. The writers could have recasted the characters, so there could be more family members at the dinner. It didnât feel the same watching the ceremony without the family. The writers missed the beat of talking about Bo and Hope. Hope was usually at the ceremony and her absence was felt. Belle didnât leave town with Shawn so she could have attended the ceremony. The dinner gets smaller each year. We hope to see more Hortons at the next ceremony. The writers did give us a few flashbacks, so it helped ease the void. Thankfully we got a chance to see some of the family in flashbacks.

Nicole didnât change the way weâre supposed to believe. She expected EJ to use his money to hide Jude.
Eric called Sarah by her full name. He used to date her so he didnât need to refer to her by her full name.
Is something wrong with Eric? Why would he want to show mercy to someone who kidnapped his baby? Would he show mercy if EJ took him and not Nicole?
Tuesday
What good did it do for Brady to hear Theresaâs conversation when he only heard part of it? He never sees or hears anything that she does.
Chad didnât think about Clyde while he was dating Stephanie, but now he wants to make him pay for killing Abby.
Tom and Alice passed away before Chad got together with Abby, but he said they had trouble accepting him with her at first.
Wednesday
Maggie cried without any tears.
Itâs wintertime, but the people in Salem arenât dressing accordingly. They are wearing light jackets. Salem is in the Midwest so itâs most likely cold there.
Thursday
Itâs suddenly Hollyâs birthday. Nicole didnât say anything about her birthday. Holly didnât mention it either.
Friday
Why did Julie have an ornament with Stephanieâs name on it when sheâs not a Horton?

Dimitri told Leo the truth about the baby We got some movement in the Nicole/EJ/Eric/Sloan/Dimitri/Leo storyline. Dimitri told Leo that Nicoleâs baby didnât die. He let him know that Sloan claimed the baby as her own. Weâre glad that he told him what she did. She doesnât need to get away with what she did. The writers seemed to enjoy putting the blame on Melinda for the plan. Sloan was okay with going along with the plan. She is just as responsible for what happened as Melinda. Dimitri informed Leo and he wanted him to blackmail Sloan. Hopefully Leo will make Sloan squirm when he reminds her that she took Nicoleâs baby. She didnât have the right to take the baby when he didnât belong to her. Itâs hard to feel completely sorry for Nicole because sheâs getting her karma, but thatâs a conversation for another time. We wanted to focus on Dimitri telling Leo the truth. This storyline is the only one starting to move along and weâre curious to see how it plays out.
Leo tried to tell Nicole and EJ about the baby Speaking of the baby storyline, Leo tried to do the right thing. He wanted to tell Nicole and EJ the truth, but they didnât want to listen to him. Nicole wouldnât let him talk about it for some reason. She had a feeling that her baby was alive, but she didnât want to hear what he had to say. Leo didnât have a reason to see Nicole since the baby was gone. The only thing he would have told her was the baby was alive. If she listened to him, she would have had her baby. Maybe Nicole should listen to people when they try to tell her something. Itâs a writerâs troupe that Nicole kept interrupting Leo when he tried to tell her the truth. The writers had to find a way to keep the storyline moving. Leo decided to continue blackmailing Sloan. As much as we enjoy watching Sloan backed into a corner, whatâs the point of doing that? Nicole and EJ didnât believe him so they wouldnât listen to him when he wanted to tell the truth.
Sloan gets away with everything got out of the call from adoption lawyer Sloan is a true villain on the show. She always manages to escape trouble. Sloan could have been busted this week when the adoption lawyer called Eric. If you guessed that Sloan got out if it, youâre right about that. Sloan managed to lie to Eric to get out of the call. Letâs back up a bit. The lawyer called Eric to apologize about the adoption falling through. You would think Sloanâs goose was cooked. We werenât surprised that she avoided getting caught. She came up with a lie and managed not to get caught.
Theresa wanted to cover her tracks Theresa might need to take lessons from Sloan on how to cover her tracks. She decided to get rid of the hoodie she wore when she kidnapped Victoria. For some reason, she chose to bury the sweater in the park. If youâre thinking sheâs an idiot for doing that, you arenât alone. Brady and Tate almost spotted her doing that. She got lucky they didnât see her burying the sweater. Theresa could have thrown the sweater in the garbage, but she chose to hold on to it. There were so many ways to get rid of the sweater, but she didnât do it.
Jude was kidnapped Sloan was careless when she took Jude out for some air. She chose to leave him in the town square unattended. What do you think happened? Thatâs right. Someone took the baby and the stroller from the town square. The baby got kidnapped in broad daylight and no one saw anything. Thereâs always people milling around outside, but no one saw who took the baby. The kidnapper managed to take him without the baby crying. Could that mean he knows the person who took him? Nicole turned out to be the culprit. She didnât believe that her baby died and took the baby. Nicole must be fast because she took Jude and managed not to get caught leaving the stroller at the pub. She also took the baby to the DiMera tunnels without the staff seeing her.
Random moment of the week We added a random moment because we didnât see this coming without reading spoilers. Stephanie and Harris ended up going to bed together. They got drunk and woke up together. Stephanie had her reasons to drink, but why did Harris do it? He didnât get into a fight with Ava, so he didnât have a reason to drink. We were shocked when we found out they were going to be in bed together. He told her that he would explain later. The writers chose to recycle the story. Shawn and Talia had a drunken encounter earlier in the year and now Stephanie and Harris did the same thing.

Interview with Serinda Swan, Shaun Sipos and Maria Sten of “Reacher” on Prime Video by Suzanne 12/12/23
“Reacher” season two is even better, in my opinion, than season one, and the cast additions are part of the reason. Swan and Sipos are talented and able to handle action, drama and comedy equally with no obvious effort (as they’ve proven many times). I believe the writing is also better, and it has a lot more humor than season one. Sipos’ character is wise-cracking, but he’s certainly not the only one that has funny lines. Of course, you know with this kind of show that they try to put in humor to balance out the serious drama (and tragedy). I enjoyed speaking to these three actors. Swan was so great in “The Inhumans” and “Coroner,” and Sipos has been in many fine shows that I love, such as “Krypton,” “Dark Matter” and “The Vampire Diaries.” This was a roundtable, so there were other journalists. I was only able to ask one question, unfortunately. Watch the new season now!
Reacher Season Two begins when veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) receives a coded message that the members of his former U.S. Army unit, the 110th MP Special Investigations, are being mysteriously and brutally murdered one by one. Pulled from his drifter lifestyle, Reacher reunites with three of his former teammates turned chosen family to investigate, including Frances Neagley (Maria Sten); Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan), a forensic accountant for whom Reacher has long had a soft spot; and fast-talking, switchblade-wielding family man David OâDonnell (Shaun Sipos). Together, they begin to connect the dots in a mystery where the stakes get higher at every turn, and brings about questions of who has betrayed themâand who will die next. Using his inimitable blend of smarts and size, Reacher will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and protect the members of his unit. If thereâs one thing Reacher and his team know for certain, itâs that you do not mess with the Special Investigators. This season, get ready for Reacher and the 110th to hit back hard.
Based on Bad Luck and Trouble, the 11th book in Lee Childâs global best-selling series, Reacher Season Two stars Alan Ritchson in the title role of Jack Reacher, with Maria Sten, Serinda Swan, and Shaun Sipos as key members of the 110th MP Special Investigations Unit. Rounding out the cast are Ferdinand Kingsley as A.M., a mercenary that homeland security refers to as a âghost;â Robert Patrick as Shane Langston, head of security for a private defense contractor with a questionable track record; and Domenick Lombardozzi as tough NYPD detective Guy Russo.
Reacher is produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Television, and Paramount Television Studios. Based on the novels by Lee Child, who serves as an executive producer, the series is written for television by Emmy-nominated writer Nick Santora (Scorpion, Prison Break), who also executive produces and serves as showrunner. In addition to Santora and Child, the series is executive produced by Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Adam Higgs, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance.

Interview with Jason Isaacs, Dyan Cannon, Jennifer Grant and Jeff Pope of “Archie” on Britbox by Jamie 12/5/23
From executive producer Jeff Pope, “Archie,” now on Britbox, brings the little-known story of actor Cary Grantâs rise to stardom, starting with his formative years as the troubled Archie Leach, who overcame his struggles to reinvent himself, to become the superstar the public knew.
Pope, along with Cary Grantâs daughter, Jennifer Grant, and Dyan Cannon, his ex-wife, as well as Jason Isaacs, the actor who stars in the title role, spoke with Jamie Ruby for TVMEG.COM earlier in the week.
The idea to do the series first came to Pope after reading Jennifer Grantâs book, Good Stuff, about her father. âI became fascinated with the kind of wit and humor of the man, as Jennifer relayed,â said Pope. The producer hadnât realized that Cary had retired, and wanted to know why. â[W]hen he became a father, he gave it all up to become a stay at home dad, and I thought, that was my starting pointâŠwhen you dig back into his past, you realize, because of his traumatic childhood, he was so determined that he was going to be the best father he could, and not be an absent father, which a continuing movie career would have meant.â
It was ten years ago when he first came to Cannon and told her he wanted to make the movie. âWe talked it right into being and now it’s a four hour miniseries, which gives the audience a full bodied look at him,â said Cannon, who wrote memoirs from which the series was also partly based, adding that she was involved in both the casting and the biggest decision making and that she is is thrilled with the way itâs turned out, including the performances.
Jennifer Grant spoke to Isaacsâ performance in particular. âI was very gratefulâŠthat we found Jason,â she told the site. âHe really had dad’s voice and dad’s mannerisms, and dad’s tenderness, especially, so it was a bizarre process watching my mom and dad.â
Seriesâ star Isaacs spoke about that transformation during the interview, praising the creative team for the physical part of it. âMostly it was other people doing the work,â he said. âIt was extraordinary costumes that were tailor made by the best tailors in the world and that compensated for my various punches and twists. Liz Headley, our incredible makeup artist gave me a chin and eyes and hair and, obviously, prosthetics when he gets heavy and heâs older. So, a lot of it was done for me.â
It was Grantâs voice that was the most difficult for Isaacs. âI didn’t want to do the voice he does in the movies, because I knew that nobody talks like that in real life,â he said. âI don’t mean the accent. I mean, his speech patterns were so similar, so repeated, that there was no way he was like that when he was being spontaneous. I found only one elicit recording of an interview he gave once, because he didn’t do interviews, and didn’t really wantâŠthe world to see who Cary Grant really was. Cary Grant was Archie Leach, and behind closed doors, when he stepped off screen, he was someone entirely different.â
Isaacs learned a lot about Grant during the process. âI don’t think anybody, unless they’ve read the biographies and read Dyan’s book, knew that this man who was famous for one or two things, being suave and debonair, was the very opposite, who seemed the very epitome of certainty and masculinity and solidity, was so fragile and so fractious and so angry at the world and himself,â said the actor.
Watch the miniseries to find out more about Cary Grant yourself, now on Britbox, and be sure to watch the full interviews with the cast and crew below!
Coming to BritBox in North America December 7, 2023, Archie outlines the life of the infamous Cary Grant. Born in Bristol, England in 1904, to parents Elsie and Elias, Archie narrates the story of a young Archibald Alexander Leachâs troubled childhood and how extreme poverty, his fatherâs adultery and the loss of his older brother, John, tore the family apart and sent his loving mother into a downward spiral of grief and depression. Jeff Popeâs scripts reveal how deceit, cruelty and one, overpowering lie shaped Archieâs life. At 14 he auditioned for the music hall act, the Bob Pender Troupe, a band of acrobats, stilt walkers, clowns and comedians after seeing them perform at the Bristol Hippodrome. Lean and athletic, he learned the art of stilt walking, and when the troupe went on tour to the US, teenage Archie was intoxicated by the land of opportunity. Believing he had no family to return to in the UK, he decided to stay in the US to try to make his way in showbusiness.
With no thoughts of acting, a chance meeting with the comedian George Burns helped him find his first footing on the acting ladder and a contract with a movie studio who felt he needed to change his name, and Cary Grant was born. The drama intercuts with scenes from 1961 when at the height of his fame, living in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles, the legendary actor was breaking all box office records, but desperately unhappy in his private life. With two failed marriages behind him, he began to woo an actress heâd seen on a TV show, Dyan Cannon. Thirty-three years his junior, Dyan, didnât initially fall for his charms turning down his attempts to meet, because she didnât feel they could ever be a match. Dashingly handsome, suave and sophisticated, Cary continued to pursue her, with introductions to his famous friends, until they eventually wed in Las Vegas in 1965.
The series also stars Laura Aikman (Not Going Out, Gavin and Stacey) as Caryâs formidable ex-wife, actress and filmmaker Dyan Cannon, with Harriet Walter (Succession, Ted Lasso, Killing Eve) as Elsie Leach, Caryâs mother.
Dainton Anderson (Patrick Melrose), Calam Lynch (Bridgerton) and Oaklee Pendergast (Home) play young versions of Archie Leach, and Kara Tointon (Mr Selfridge, The Halcyon, Sound of Music Live) plays young Elsie.
Archie is a 4 x 60 mins drama commissioned by ITVâs Head of Drama, Polly Hill for ITVX. Rebecca Hodgson (Sherwood, The Irregulars, Deep Water, The Road to Coronation Street) is the producer and Paul Andrew Williams (A Confession, London to Brighton, Song for Marion) directs. With the blessing of Cary Grantâs daughter, Jennifer Grant, and ex-wife Dyan Cannon, the pair serve as Executive Producers. Jeff Pope executive produces the series for Etta Pictures with Diederick Santer for BritBox International. The series is coming to BritBox in December 2023.
Jason Isaacs was born in Liverpool. He studied law at Bristol University but fell in love with the theatre and directed, produced and appeared in dozens of productions there, at the National Student Theatre Festival and at the Edinburgh Festival. He graduated in 1985 but then attended the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and began working in 1988.
Jason’s notable roles include Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, Mr. Darling/Captain Hook in Peter Pan (2003), and many soldiers: Col. William Tavington in Roland Emmerich’s The Patriot (2000), Captain Steele in Ridley Scott’s Blackhawk Down, Major Briggs in Paul Greengrass’s Green Zone, Captain Waggoner in Fury, Captain Lorca in Star Trek: Discovery, Field Marshall Zhukov in Armando Iannucci’s The Death of Stalin and Rear-Admiral Godfrey in John Madden’s Operation Mincemeat. He was Hap in the cult series The OA, Maurice in the WW2 film Good (2008) and Jay in the multi-award winning MASS. He has made many TV series in Britain and the US and has won or been nominated for a Golden Globe, International Emmy, BAFTA, Critics Choice, Peabody, Satellite and many other awards.
On stage he was Louis Ironson in the original productions of Angels in America parts 1 and 2 for the Royal National Theatre and has performed at the Royal Court, Almeida and West End Theatres.
Jason is married to documentary filmmaker Emma Hewitt, who he met at drama school and with whom he has two children.
Dyan Cannon is the first woman in the history of the Motion Picture Academy to be nominated for Oscars both in front of and behind the camera. Her diligence and determination have been rewarded by many prestigious honors.
She received her first Academy Award nomination for her memorable role as Alice in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), opposite Natalie Wood and directed by Paul Mazursky. For her performance, she garnered the coveted New York Film Critics Award.
Dyan received her second Academy Award nomination in the category of Best Live Action Short for writing and directing the 48-minute film, Number One (1976), which she also produced, edited and scored. The New York Times commended the film as one of the best movies ever made concerning children’s development.
She received her third Academy Award nomination for her comedic role as Julia Farnsworth, opposite Warren Beatty, in Heaven Can Wait (1978), for which she won the Golden Globe Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Later that year, she starred in another comedy hit, Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978), opposite Peter Sellers and directed by Blake Edwards, and was named Female Star of the Year by NATO (National Association of Theater Owners).
As the singular force behind the motion picture The End of Innocence (1990), Dyan undertook a triumvirate of tasks as writer, director and star. Dyan’s work received amazing reviews from the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.
Dyan has co-starred on two outstanding prime-time television shows. For several years, she brought her own brand of humor, class and sexiness to the role of Whipper Cone on the Emmy Award winning series Ally McBeal (1997). She then starred as the vivacious and free-spirited Honey Bernstein-Flynn on NBC’s comedy series Three Sisters (2001).
Dyan wanted to take time off from her acting career to write. During the next nine years, she not only collaborated on a Broadway musical, but wrote her memoir, “Dear Cary,” which was on the New York Times best seller list three different times spanning four years. It is now being made into a miniseries.
Dyan is recognized as an exceptional motivational speaker for prominent associations and corporations. Children are her passion and most of her work centers around the care and welfare of kids. She is the national spokesperson for the Hemangioma Treatment Foundation, an organization that provides treatment to children all over the world who are afflicted with vascular birthmarks. She is the international executive spokesperson for Operation Lookout, an organization dedicated to recovering missing and exploited children who have been kidnapped from their homes, schools, etc. She has also been national spokesperson for Martin Colette’s Wildlife Waystation, an international refuge that rescues and rehabilitates wild and exotic animals, as well as national spokesperson for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America

Dyan is a permanent court-side fixture at the Los Angeles Lakers basketball games.
Jennifer Grant is the daughter of actors Cary Grant and Dyan Cannon. Her father initially opposed her becoming an actress. She graduated from Stanford with a degree in history and political science in 1987. Initially, she went to work in a law firm and later tried a stint as a chef. But, finally, she decided to move into acting in 1993, landing her first role on Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990).
You would think Nicole wouldnât want to hold a baby after losing her. It was convenient that she wanted to hold Ericâs baby since the baby is hers.
Rafe basically thought Dimitri wasnât a criminal. Did he forget that he tried to kill his sister?
Jada managed not to see Stefan in the evidence room.
Tuesday
Doug was too tired to deal with the family for Thanksgiving, but Chad made the kids stay with him and Julie.
Theresaâs accent slipped when she talked to Alex. Theresa is American so she shouldnât sound like Gwen.
Xander was holding a drumstick one minute and it was gone the next.
What kind of friend is Kayla? Why would she want Maggie left in the dark about the type of person Konstantin is.
Theresa was looking in Alexâs direction but didnât see him walk in the room while she was talking to Konstantin.
Wednesday
Kayla acted as if Steve had a reason to lie about Konstantin. He doesnât gain anything by exposing Konstantin for his lies.
Thanksgiving was last week, but they were still talking about it.
Alex and Theresa were with Maggie and were suddenly at the town square the next.
Alex was supposed to punch Xander, but he clearly didnât hit him.
Thursday
Sloan was supposed to go to the station, but she went to see EJ.
Eric told Marlena that she could check on the baby, but she said that you shouldnât disturb a sleeping baby. She said she would peek at the baby. She didnât realize thatâs the same thing Eric suggested.
There werenât any covers on Alexâs couch when he and Theresa had sex. It suddenly appeared after they were together.
Friday
The actor playing Tate was clearly reading his lines while he was talking to Johnny and Chanel.
Chanel was wearing a big coat, but she was wearing shorts.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
Nicole realized that Eric and Sloanâs baby was hers. She looked at the baby and immediately felt the maternal bond. We werenât sure if she would feel that way immediately, but she surprised us. She held Ericâs baby for a few minutes and realized he was her baby. She was like a dog with a bone with her theory. Eric, EJ, and Sloan told her that the baby wasnât hers. She wouldnât believe them. We didnât think the story would move that fast. Storylines like that usually stretch for months at a time. Weâre pretty sure the writers will find a way to slow the storyline down, but we give them credit for moving it along the way they are. Arianne Zucker did a pretty good job with the material she was given. She made us believe she was a grieving mother. We were pleasantly surprised by her performance. The story was easily the best one of the week. Watching Nicole drive it home that Eric had her baby kept us glued to the screen.
Speaking of Nicoleâs storyline. Holly showed that sheâs more than just a lovesick teenager. She suggested that Eric get a DNA test done on the baby. Holly didnât seem clever enough to come up with an idea that could help push the storyline alone. She went to Eric and asked him to get a DNA test done on the baby. He was willing to do it. You would think the adults in the storyline would have come up with the idea that could solve the problem. We arenât psychics, but we know that Sloan will intercept the test, so Nicole wonât find out the truth about the baby. For now, weâll be happy that someone was thinking in the storyline.
Since the baby storyline dominated the week, it makes sense for most of the article to focus on the baby storyline. Anyway, Dimitri figured out that Sloan took Nicoleâs baby. He demanded that she clear Leoâs name or he would tell her the truth. Sloan came up with different excuses until she admitted that she had the baby. Dimitri wanted her to help Leo or else. We loved the look of panic on her face when she squirmed while he threatened her. She had to do whatever it took to help Leo, but she kept hitting dead ends. Sloan needed to get a reality check because it seemed like she was the good one at a point. She was the one who started everything in the first place. Now she must do everything Dimitri wants, or he will tell the truth. We donât care for Dimitri, but he had her number. We will enjoy watching him blackmail her for as long as it lasts.
The DNA test was done this week. Eric took the baby to Kayla so she could do the procedure. We know that Sloan will do something to make sure that she isnât busted right away. We have seen this happen so many times on the show that we already know that Sloan will get away with swapping the DNA results. She doesnât know anything about fixing tests, but she will find a way to switch the results, so the story wonât end soon.
Why is everyone acting as if Steve has an axe to grind when it concerns Konstantin? He isnât a schemer so his family and friends should trust him. He has no reason to lie about Konstantin. What does he gain from exposing him? What does Konstantin gain from lying? Konstantin has a reason to lie because he doesnât want to get exposed. Maggie may as well paint gullible on her forehead when it concerns Konstantin. She believed every lie he told her. We want to see the look on her face when she realizes that Konstantin and Theresa schemed against her.
Chad must be reverting to his old ways. He schemed with Xander so he could get Everett fired from the paper. He thought that would keep Everett from Stephanie. His plan will blow up in his face because Everett has more time to spend with Stephanie. We wonât pretend to care about this storyline because we donât. we see that Chad is acting like heâs the good one in the story when heâs not. Stephanie isnât good either. She loves the fact that Everett is still in love with her. She enjoys the attention. Everett decided to call Gwen to find out why she fired him. He could easily figure out that Gwen sold Chad her half of the paper. Stephanie could also ask Everett to work for her. Chadâs plan could backfire on him.

Interview with Larry A. Thompson, producer of “Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas” on Lifetime by Suzanne 10/23/23
In a normal year, I would have been able to interview one of the great actresses in this movie, or possibly all of them. However, this interview was during the SAG-Aftra strike, so I was only allowed to speak to the movie’s executive producer. However, it was a great chat because he’s been around a long time. He worked with the Beatles when he was just starting out as a lawyer for EMI! He’s not only a producer, but a manager. In fact, he manages William Shatner, whom I love and would very much like to interview one day. It was awesome to hear his stories in this interview. I hope you enjoy it, too!
The movie is very fun – especially if you enjoy romantic Christmas movies, or if you watched primetime soaps like “Knots Landing,” “Dallas,” “Desperate Housewives,” etc. because the “ladies” of the title are LInda Grey (Sue Ellen on “Dallas”), Loni Anderson (Jennifer of “WKRP in Cincinnati, among other roles – the only “lady” not known for soaps), Morgan Fairchild (of Falcon Crest, Paper Dolls and many daytime soaps), Nicolette Sheridan (Paige of “Knots Landing” and Edie of “Desperate Housewives”), and Donna Mills (Abby in “Knots Landing”). It was great to see them all in this charming film. Thompson’s daughter, Taylor Ann, is the ingenue of the movie. Christopher Atkins has a small role as Grey’s son (This is hilarious to me because in “Dallas,” their characters had an affair!). I enjoyed it. It’s fun and very Christmasy. The male lead, Travis Burns, is very handsome and has a killer Aussie accent. Happy Holidays! Don’t miss the movie tomorrow, December 2nd, 2023!
In Ladies of theâŻâ80s: A Divas Christmas, five glamorous â80s soap opera stars reunite to share the spotlight to shoot the finalâŻChristmasâŻepisode of their long-running soap opera. The producer, Alex (Travis Burns) and director Nell (Taylor Ann Thompson), old college friends, do their best to keep things on the rails but as the ladies come together, old rivalries resurface that threaten to tear the whole production apart. With the show nearly canceled before it even begins due to the ladiesâ famous diva behavior, they reluctantly agree to set aside their differences and past secrets to âactâ as if they all still love each other.⯠When old sparks reignite between Alex and Nell, the ladies become eager to play cupid andâŻconspire to bring the couple together.âŻAlong the way, the divas also discover that the love between them all is still very strong too.
The movieâs theme song Ladies of the â80s was written by Song Writer Hall of Fameâs Steve Dorff and Michael Jay, produced by Steve Droff, and performed by â80s pop sensation Tiffany (I Think Weâre Alone Now).
Ladies of the â80s: A Divas Christmas is executive produced for Lifetime by Larry A. Thompson (Liz & Dick, Amish Grace). Christie Will Wolf (Christmas on Candy Cane Lane, The Art of Passion) directs from a script by James Berg & Stan Zimmerman (The Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls) with Robert G. Endara II and Ed Polgardy producing.
Interview with Kristoffer Polaha, Neal McDonough and Brock Heasley of the movie “The Shift” by Suzanne 11/29/23
It was so great to speak to these three. I’m a huge fan of these actors from their past work. I enjoyed the movie, which is SciFi but also Christian. It’s not preachy, though, and it’s an exciting action drama. You definitely don’t have to be religious to like it. It’s a fun ride. The cast is very good. Besides these two, it also stars Sean Astin and Elizabeth Tabish. I hope you enjoy this video! I didn’t have very much time to speak with them. I could easily have chatted with them for a half hour each, or more.

Interview with Tim Rozon of “SurrealEstate” on Syfy by Suzanne 11/16/23
It was great to speak with Tim again. He’s very engaging and fun. I love this show – the writing, the humor, the acting, the scares…it is just worth watching for pure entertainment. Usually we interview the actors before the show starts, but we weren’t able to do that because of the SAG-AFTRA strike. However, I did interview the show’s creator/writer, George R. Olson, so that was cool. I love interviewing writers, directors and producers from shows I love, as well as the actors. I’m very grateful that we have them all back now and available. There are 3 episodes left as I post this, so I hope you get to watch all the episodes! The last three really wrap things up nicely for this season.
Timâs first major role was playing heartthrob Tommy Quincy opposite Alexz Johnson and Laura Vandervoort for four seasons on the teen drama series âInstant Starâ for TeenNick (USA) and CTV (Canada).  He was then cast as the series lead Alex Caine, playing a gang infiltrator, in âBefriend and Betrayâ for Shaw TV (Canada).  Recent series leads include playing Mutt Schitt on the Emmy juggernaut and Golden Globe winning CBC/Netflix hit comedy âSchittâs Creekâ opposite comedy icons Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Catherine OâHara and Chris Elliott; Doc Holliday, the infamous lawman and charismatic gambler, on the fan-fave SyFy series âWynonna Earpâ; Constable Carson Myers, stand up RCMP officer and love interest, on the CBC series âDiggstownâ opposite Natasha Henstridge and Vinessa Antoine; Isaac, lawyer turned outer space rogue, in the SyFy series Vagrant Queen. Tim is delighted to currently be playing the series leading role of Luke Roman, a real estate agent specializing in haunted homes, on SyFyâs new series âSurrealEstate.â
Tim won a prestigious Gemini Award (the âCanadian Emmyâ) for his performance in the series âFlashpointâ (CTV/CBS) and was nominated for another Gemini for work in âBefriend and Betrayâ.  Tim was thrilled when âWynonna Earpâ won the Peopleâs Choice Award for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy show in both 2018 and 2020.
Off camera, Tim has many talents in the entertainment business. He is a voiceover actor, most notably playing a leading role in the animated feature film âThe Legend of Sarilaâ, opposite Christopher Plummer and Genevieve Bujold. He produced the documentary feature âShuckersâ, about the world of oysters and those who shuck them. And he is very proud of his work co-writing multiple âWynonna Earpâ graphic novels with creator Beau Smith for IDW.
When not acting, Tim plays the role of restaurateur in Montreal at his hit restaurants Garde Manger and Le Bremner opposite star chef Chuck Hughes.
âSurrealEstateâ follows real estate agent Luke Roman and an elite team of specialists that handle the cases no one else can: haunted and possessed houses that literally scare would-be buyers away. Researching, investigating and âfixingâ the things that go bump in the night, the team works to create closure – and closings – even as they struggle with demons of their own.
âDEARLY DEPARTEDâ (Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT)
The Roman Agency must coach a homeowner into the light when he discovers heâs haunting his own house. The team locates Susan, but can they save her?
âLETTING GOâ (Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT)
SEASON FINALE: Susan returns to the Roman Agency, but it quickly becomes clear itâs not the Susan they remember. With the entire team in danger, Luke must confront the force within Susanâs house.
âSurrealEstateâ stars Tim Rozon, Sarah Levy, Adam Korson, Maurice Dean Wint, Savannah Basley and Elena Juatco.
The series was created by George R. Olson, who executive produces with Lance Samuels, Danishka Esterhazy, Armand Leo, Daniel Iron, Neil Tabatznik, Cosima Von Spreti and Kevin Anweiler.
Catch up on last season of âSurrealEstate,â now streaming on Hulu.
Interview with Gary Anthony Sturgis of “Wicked City” on ALLBLK by Suzanne 11/20/23
I had a blast chatting with Gary! He is so funny, smart and entertaining, and he loves to talk. We’ve been Facebook friends for 14 years, so it was great to finally “meet” face to face. He’s been in many great shows and movies. Not only is he a talented actor, he’s also an accomplished writer!
MORE INFO:
Gary Anthony Sturgis is a New Orleans born actor/writer/director best-known for his portrayal of the villain in two of Tyler Perry’s biggest hit films, “Diary of A Mad Black Woman” (as Jamison Jackson) and “Daddy’s Little Girls” (as Joseph Woods). He also co-starred opposite Terrence Howard in “Pride”, as the charming yet sinister pimp/drug dealer Franklin Washington. Recently, he has stepped out the role of bad guy to co-star in the comedy “Chicago Pulaski Jones” with Kel Mitchell and Cedric the Entertainer.
Also a professional voice artist, Sturgis has voiced network promos for UPN, CBS, PBS and ABC, cartoons and video games (Static Shock, Batman, Scooby Doo and The Cyber Chase, Fairly Odd Parents, Spiderman) and is heard on countless commercials for radio and television. His raspy bass-baritone voice that the women find hard to resist has even been heard on national movie trailers and promotions for; “Bones”, “Two Can Play That Game”, “The Others”, “The Brothers” and “The Wood” to name a select few. In addition, he is also the voice for the History Channel’s “K-9 Cops”. For another surprise, Gary also produces and writes rap music and has a successful recording under the moniker Illuminati called Fahrenheit, which is still available on iTunes.
As a writer/producer, Gary is producing some of his own feature-length screenplays (he has written more than ten), and has packaged his works into three and four picture deals and commenced to shopping them around town for financing and distribution. We have only scratched the surface of this multi-faceted creative soul.
Since Sturgis had been writing for years, the next natural progression was to direct. After directing “Lend A Hand”, a 90-second short film for the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), Gary realized that directing was yet another feather he could stick in his talented cap.

Filmed in Hollywood, California, the show aired its 15,000th episode on June 22, 2022.
âGHâ continues its tradition of passion, intrigue and adventure that has depicted the ongoing lives of the diverse and evolving citizens of the fictional town of Port Charles set in upstate New York. The glamour and excitement of those who have come to find their destinies in this familiar seaport town intertwine with the lives, loves and fortunes of beloved, well-known faces. As always, love, danger and mind-blowing plot twists abound on âGHâ with contemporary storylines and unforgettable characters.
Often ahead of its time, âGeneral Hospital â is known for elevating awareness for numerous health and social issues, in conjunction with storylines including HIV/AIDS; tolerance and understanding for the gay, lesbian and transgender community; bipolar disorder; spousal abuse; sexual assault; workplace sexual harassment in the #MeToo era; gentrification; war refugees; voting rights and voter suppression; the fight for civil rights and against environmental racism; drug and alcohol addiction; breast cancer awareness; surrogacy and adaption; organ donations;Â autism; and Alzheimerâs-related stories are all topics âGHâ has trailblazed.

Frank Valentini serves as âGHââs current executive producer. Chris Van Etten and Dan OâConnor are the showâs co-head writers.
EJ didnât think to check Nicoleâs location to find her, but Eric conveniently used it to find her.
Leo volunteered Dimitri to take Nicoleâs baby to the hospital. That didnât make sense because he is the one the police were after. Leo should have taken the baby to the hospital.
Dimitri conveniently heard Rafe talking about coming after him.
Speaking of Dimitri, he saw Rafe and EJ, but they didnât see him holding a baby at the hospital.
How did Dimitri know where Sloan lives? He showed up at her place with Nicoleâs baby, but he shouldnât know where she lives.
Tuesday
Nicole didnât have any bruises on her face after her car accident.
Nicoleâs baby wasnât checked out after she gave birth to him. Melinda and Sloan took their time getting him to the hospital.
Wednesday
Nicole cried without any tears.
Dr. Pierce was able to walk around the hospital wearing a medical jacket without anyone noticing.
How did Dr. Pierce find Nicoleâs room without anyone getting suspicious of him?
EJ cried without any tears.
Thursday
Sarah had to rush to work, but she talked about Konstantin with Maggie.
Who would have told Chad that Dimitriâs family didnât want to give her the money?
Friday
Maggie didnât watch Victoria and made it easy for Theresa to kidnap her.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
The week got off to an electrifying start. Dimitri raced to get to the submarine and ran Nicole off the road. The accident happened in true soap style. Nicole veered off the road and went into labor. Leo helped her when she went into labor. We will get into that later. The point of this opinion is to talk about the convenience of the accident. Eric had to be the one to find Nicole on the road. He acted as if he was the only one who cared about Nicoleâs well-being. EJ is her husband, but he showed up after Eric. We know the writers love pushing the idea of Eric and Nicole down our throats, but we arenât buying it. We prefer seeing Nicole with EJ, but we know we are members of an unpopular club. The writers want us to think eric and Nicole are meant to be together, but they had their chances. They got together multiple times and didnât work out so whatâs different this time? Nicole always wants who she doesnât have so she will go after someone else if she does get together with Eric.
Leo showed he had a decent side to him
If we didnât see it, we wouldnât believe it. Leo showed a different side. Normally heâs just a caricature, but he showed his decent side. Dimitri ran Nicole off the road. Dimitri wanted to keep going, but Leo stopped him. He wanted to help Nicole. Nicole asked him to stay with her and deliver her baby. He did it. Leo stayed with her while Dimitri took the baby to the hospital. He could have left her there to die, but he didnât want to do that. Leo proved that heâs more than just jokes. He had a human side to him. It was nice to see because we donât get a chance to see it often. We applaud the writers for giving Leo a human side instead of always making him clown around. He made jokes, but he showed he had a heart.
Melinda became the fall guy for the story
The writers clearly hate Melindaâs character. They do anything they can to write her in a bad way. She talked Sloan into keeping the truth about the baby from Eric. Sloan was the reason why they couldnât adopt the boy. Melinda told her not to say anything. She wanted her to give her a chance to get another baby. Sloan claimed she wanted to tell the truth, but she allowed Melinda to talk her into keeping the secret. Dimitri showed up at Sloanâs place while Melinda was there. He brought Nicoleâs baby to the apartment. Melinda wanted Sloan to adopt the baby. Sloan argued with her for a few minutes and caved. Sloan is responsible for keeping the truth hidden from Eric even though Melissa told her to do it. Sloan is a grown woman and didnât have to go along with Melindaâs plan. When Eric finds out the truth, heâs not going to be mad at Melinda. Heâs going to dump Sloan.
We were disgusted with Melinda. She didnât get a chance to raise her daughter so why would she do that to another woman? She should have been the one talking Sloan out of taking the baby. Melinda didnât have to take the baby. She will lose everything once the truth comes out. The writers will have to get rid of her character because thereâs nothing left to do with her. Sloan will have to leave too. She wonât be coming back from this scheme. We know that sheâs getting exposed because that always happens. The baby will need something from the biological parents and Sloan will be screwed. The writers enjoy butchering Melinda. Sloan is the villain in the story and making Melinda take the fall for Sloanâs scheme wonât change our minds.
Konstantinâs plan for Maggie
Konstantin came up with a new plan to win Maggie over. He overheard Sarah badmouthing him and wanted to do something to get back in Maggieâs good graces. Konstantin decided to take Sarahâs baby so he could look like a hero. Maggie would be grateful for saving her granddaughter. The plan couldnât work without help. Theresa had to get involved in the plan. Konstantin made her kidnap Sarahâs baby. He thought Sarah and Maggie would pay him for saving the baby. Theresa fought him down and eventually changed her mind. She took the baby and left the mansion. We were shocked watching Maggie tend to Konstantin instead of going after Theresa. She would have caught Theresa if she went after her. Theresa loved Maggie so much and didnât want to do it. She allowed him to blackmail her to help him. He planned on telling Alex the truth about his paternity if she didnât do what he said. She got herself in deep trouble going along with him. Theresa is going to lose everything because she feels the need to keep working with Konstantin.
Chad, Stephanie, and Everett Triangle
We canât stress enough that this storyline is the weakest one on the show. The writers want us to root for Stephanie to hook up with anyone at this point. They expect us to think sheâs so desirable that every available man in Salem wants her. Everett is conveniently an ex-boyfriend of Stephanieâs, and he wants her. Is anyone surprised by that? He hired her to work with him at the newspaper. Chad didnât like it and confronted Stephanie about it. He felt like she was trying to get him to marry her. She had the nerve to think there was nothing wrong with Everett getting involved in their lives. She enjoys the attention she gets from any man who looks her way. Stephanie would deserve it if Chad broke up with her. He decided to buy Gwen out of the paper so he could be Everettâs boss. We donât see the point in this plan. He shouldnât waste time with Stephanie anymore since she enjoyed Everett flirting with her. This storyline ruined a decent week. The triangle doesnât hold our interest because we donât know Everett so thereâs no rooting value there. Weâre not excited about this storyline at all because thereâs no movement.

The writers decided to start a murder mystery for the fans to watch play out. We love mysteries. A great mystery makes the show exciting. Gabi arrived at Wendyâs place and found Li dead. Well, thatâs her story. She chose to hold the knife and got caught doing it. Stefan walked in the room and saw Gabi holding the knife. Wendy also walked in while she was holding the knife. Gabi forgot that she is the sister of a cop. You would think she wouldnât have touched the knife. She may as well have put the handcuffs on herself. Gabi went to prison before and did everything she could to make sure that she went back again. We know the actress was leaving, but the writers could have created a different way to write her out.
Did someone set Gabi up for murder?
As we mentioned, Gabi found Li faced down with a knife wound in his back. We didnât see how he was stabbed, but he died. There are some people on our suspectsâ list. Letâs talk about the suspects that might have killed Li and framed Gabi for it. We might be reaching, but we put Stefan on the list. He showed up at the apartment and acted weird around Gabi. Stefan had a sinister look on his face when Gabi told him that she was innocent of the murder. She wanted to run, and he told her not to go. Stefan has a motive to frame her. He might be upset that she turned Vivian in to the police, causing her to run. He got mad when she did that and he might want revenge for it. We might be reaching, but we wouldnât be surprised if he framed her. EJ canât wait to prosecute Gabi for the crime. He proved he would hire a hitman when he needed one. EJ has a motive for framing Gabi. He got upset when Stefan and Gabi gained control of DiMera Enterprises. EJ wasnât happy about it. He could have hired someone to kill Li since he gave up his shares.
Kristen is on our suspect list. She could have gone to Liâs place and stabbed him. Kristen wouldnât have a problem framing Gabi since she schemed against her. Gabi and Stefan tricked Rachel into saying that Kristen abused her. Kristen had to give up her rights so they could take her shares. She wasnât happy about it so it wouldnât take much for her to set Gabi up for the crime. Brady is another person on our suspect list. Gabi and Stefan let him think they could help him get Rachel back. They promised him evidence he could use for the judge. Once they got their way, they destroyed the evidence against Kristen. Brady got very upset about it. He might have gone to the apartment and stabbed Li. Harris is another suspect on our list. He might be under Meganâs influence. Harris tried to kill Stefan so he could break his heart by taking his wife away from him. There are so many people to suspect because Gabi hurt a lot of people for her personal gain. Gabi might have killed Li. She may not be innocent. We didnât see what happened to Li. She was in the room with him.
Sarahâs attitude towards Xander
Sarah is getting on our nerves. She wants to sue Xander, but she expects him to leave her alone. Sarah asked him to postpone their case so she could be there for Xander. Xander agreed to do it. They seemed to get along when Eric arrived. He ruined it by mentioning the case. Sarah got upset with Xander again. She expects Xander not to try to win his case, but sheâs allowed to do it. Sarah ran into Xander so he didnât have time to stop the case. We hope that Sarah loses custody of the baby. She needs to pay for keeping the truth from Xander in the first place.
Jada needs to turn in her badge
It might be time for Jada to turn in her badge. She found Dimitri and Leo at a motel. The detective decided to pursue them without back up. Did she forget that Dimitri got accused of attempted murder? She shouldnât have gone to the motel without Harris or another cop. Dimitri managed to get the drop on her and they got away from her. We shook our heads watching her lose control of the situation the way she did. She should have known better, but that wasnât the case. Her actions made it possible for Dimitri and Leo to escape. Their escape led to the inevitable accident that will play out during the week.

Interview with Dominic Monaghan, star of “Moriarty” on Audible by Suzanne 11/8/23
It was wonderful to speak with Dominic, who seems just as nice as you might imagine he’d be from his many great roles. As a fan of “Lost,” “Lord of the Rings” and his other work (especially “Moonhaven”), I could have honestly spoken to him for hours. Normally, we only cover TV, and the occasional movie, but this project is so well written and acted, and stars many of my favorite actors, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to cover it here. “Moriarty: The Devil’s Game” premiered last year and was a huge hit. “Moriarty: The Silent Order” premieres Thursday, Nov. 9. You won’t want to miss it. Helen Mirren joins the great cast. If you only listen to ONE audio drama this year, make it this one….especially if you’re a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories.

Kristen’s flashback could be heard before it was shown.
Thursday
Maggie shouldn’t be surprised that Xander was going after full custody of Victoria. Maggie was the one who told Sarah that Xander was going to do that if she didn’t tell him the truth.
Sarah heard Konstantin say Xander’s name, but she didn’t hear anything else.
Sarah wasn’t doing anything, but she needed the nanny to put Victoria down for her nap. What was keeping Sarah from putting her down?
Friday
Gabi suddenly felt guilty about setting Kristen up for abusing Rachel. Gabi should have thought about the way she would have felt if the shoe were on the other foot before they went through with the plan.
Why was Stephanie surprised that Chad wasn’t ready to get married? He just lost his wife. What made her think he was going to suddenly be ready to marry her?
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
We are confused with Theresa and Konstantinâs plan. They fixed Victorâs will so everyone would think Alex deserved his money. We donât understand Theresaâ role in the plan. She wanted Alex to have everything. She could have fixed the will so Tate could get the money. She made sure her son didnât get anything. She believes sheâs going to marry Alex and get access to his money. Alex doesnât seem attracted enough to marry her, so she has an uphill battle ahead of her. Weâre curious to see what Konstantin will do to Maggie. He might go after her money. It might be good to see her involved in a big story.
Speaking of Maggie, she went off on Xander because he wants to sue Sarah for full custody of Victoria. She warned Sarah that would happen if she kept the truth from him. She shouldnât have been surprised by that. Maggie warned her that he would go after her for lying to him. She didnât want to listen to her. Maggie got what she deserved. Xander put Maggie in her place for lying about the baby. She needed a reality check. Maggie apologized to him. It wonât be long before she kisses up to him again.
Sarah yelled at Xander for the lawsuit. She knew he wanted custody of the baby so shouldnât be surprised. Xander wanted to make things work, but Justin ruined that for him. She showed her evil side, and he didnât back down. Sarah thought yelling would get her way. She found out the hard way that wasnât the case. We hope he doesnât back down and let her have custody. Xander has rights, but she didnât care about them.
We watched Days of Our Lives and rolled our eyes at Stephanie. She got mad because Chad didnât love her the same way he loved Abby. Did she really think Chad would forget about his love for Abby? Abby was Chadâs first love so he wouldnât forget about her. Stephanie expected him to get over Abby. She knows Abby meant everything to Chad, but that didnât matter to her. She thought he was going to forget the way he felt about his wife for someone he just started dating. Stephanie is something else. She expects all men to desire her. Chad would be a first-class jerk if he got over Abby as fast as she wanted him to do it.
Speaking of Stephanie, what was up with Steve? He was no different from Stephanie. He talked to Chad about Stephanie. He expected Chad to marry Stephanie or leave her alone. Did he forget that Chad was married to his niece? Why would he want him to move on so fast? What if something happened to Kayla? Would he move on that fast? If Stephanie was murdered, would he want Chad to move on with Abby that quickly? We feel like he wouldnât want that to happen. He would have expected Chad to slow down with the relationship. Chad already moved in with Stephanie too fast and now heâs expected to marry her.
Gabi needs help. She was willing to let another mother get in trouble for child abuse. She and Stefan wanted Rachel to tell the judge that Kristen was abusing her just so they could get her shares. Child abuse is nothing to play around with, but she didnât care. She wanted the shares and thatâs all that mattered. Gabi let Brady think she would help him by getting proof that Rachel was getting abused. He believed it and they went through with their plan. As a mother, Gabi shouldnât do something like that. She could have been in the same position if Will and Sonny wanted to do that to her. They blackmailed Kristen and she caved. She signed her shares to him, and they made the video disappear. They shouldnât have done that to Kristen or Brady. We feel like the writers are setting up Gabiâs demise by having her act that way. We wonât be disappointed since sheâs acting up.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
Stephanie forgot Abbyâs birthday. She acted as if she was close to her, but she forgot her birthday.
Kate talked to Marlena about her kids, but she didnât mention Billie and Cassie. Did she forget she had daughters?
Stephanie shouldnât have been surprised that Chad doesnât love her the way he loved Abby. She knew that Chad was in love with Abby so thereâs no need to be surprised that he doesnât love her the same way.
Tuesday
Kayla pulled strings to get Talia a job at the hospital, but she was ready to go back to California.
Clyde is managing to do a lot in prison. He helped Edmund kidnap Susan. Thereâs no reason why they should have met each other.
Wednesday
Stefan was upset that Gabi chased Vivian away as if she hadnât gone for a long time. She was in prison, so he wasnât seeing her.
Dimitri was shot and was going to be arrested for attempted murder, but he didnât have a cop outside of his room at the hospital.
Thursday
Leo didn’t know Dimitri was going to be on the run so how did he know to have a blonde wig with him?
Rachel could be heard talking to Stephan while Tate was shown.
Friday
When did Steve have a problem with Theresa? Theresa said she couldn’t stay with Kayla because Steve had a problem with her.
