SOD: Beverly Todd talks DAYS Stint; 2/28 Issue

I always loved Celeste. I liked her instantly from her early days when she was basically just a slave that worshipped Stefano and did anything he wanted. I started to think oh what the hell is going on? when she started having crazy visions and screaming bloody murder all of the time, but I grew to love that Celeste too. I always felt bad for her because she was always right and people would never give her the time of day. It was always annoying to me how easily they brushed her off after she was constantly correct about everything, no matter how out there her visions would be.

I was always intrigued from the beginning when Caroline would call her Frankie because of their past friendship. There's so much to Celeste that I don't think she's a throwaway character, but its very obvious that she wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. There's just something that I love about her. I hope Beverly Todd can bring her own spin to the character because Tanya Boyd's performance would be hard to emulate.

I'm a big fan of Celeste and Tanya's portrayal but it is what it is and I've accepted it. It's not like they didn't want to bring Tanya back, they did, but clearly there are reasons it didn't work out. They haven't confirmed the stroke thing but I honestly do suspect it's true, so Tanya just can't do it right now and they need Celeste to introduce Cameron. Ideal? No. But it's okay.

I just always thought of her like a Baby Howie character, here today, gone tomorow. I'm just surprised the role stuck around. And plus, I preferred Coliope "vibes" over "visions".
(I'm not hatin' on her ....just indifferent)

Arleen Sorkin proved in her last return that Calliope (and her acting) has jumped the shark in a MAJOR way. Directing and writing could have had something to do with it, but wow that was an abomination. I almost wish they would bring her back just so I can find out if she has really become that bad or if it wasn't her fault. At the same time I never want to see that again. I suspect she belonged in 80s days and its just not working. Her other brief returns weren't nearly as bad as the last one so I almost want to blame Higley, but that seems too easy.

I guess we'll find out if Celeste can still cut it. I think Beverly Todd will be a much tamed down version of Celeste.

I love Calliope and Arleen, but it was pretty hard to watch. The storyline didn't do her any favors, but it was still so bad. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube if you're curious.

Is Boyd out permanently or is there a chance she could return?

Todd is great. I remember her from a few things. But recasting Celeste is just...God. I can't believe it.
