Could DAYS somehow win best soap 3 years in a row. I am obviously way ahead of myself but DAYS seems to be on a huge upswing and with Ali leaving and ED returning 2014 seems like DAYS year. Kristen's return and AS exit has so much potential to end 2014 on a very high note.

I am so excited for this news welcome back Eileen!

Only I don't think that there is anything unbelievable about ED and JS having a mother/son age gap. I find it much more plausible than Charles Shaughnessy and Kassie DePaiva.
It's basically the same 8-10 age gap between them, tho? But since they are trying to pass off KDP and Charles Shaugnessy as father/daughter, I wouldn't be opposed to them trying to give Kristen a more. . . . motherly role in EJ's life
Nope, James Scott and Eileen Davidson are 20 years apart. (And IMO, look it.)
No way do they LOOK it...thats just ridiculous...JS looks way older than he is and ED looks younger than she is.
I agree with this. BUT I wasn't saying it is so farfetched that Days wouldn't do it. I just think the massive SORASing hurt. He's a grown ass man. If EJ was a teen-early 20s then Kristen would really probably try to be more motherly with him. She did the friend/big sister thing, but they should play with that dynamic some more, IMO. She needs to take an unhealthy interest in EJ.

Ugh. J&M destruction part...? How far up are we now?
You're assuming there will be something to destroy. I haven't even gotten my hopes up yet for that.

But seriously, I actually expect her to interact with Brady and Eric (and hopefully Marlena), and I'm not even sure John would be in the mix this time.
Their characters can still be further destroyed. I still care about that.
I really believe DAYS got the message loud and clear on how Jarlena was destroyed...it is why DH was let go.

I think they will get this next stint right.
From your lips to God's ears...but I'm still not holding my breath.

I think they have a legit chance at winning again this year...they seem to have some voter support out there now.

I think the CBS soaps and GH strategically throw votes DAYS way.

Shrug. They both look their ages to me. It's a shame that we live in a media culture where there's something wrong with that.

Yes sir. This is 100% true. GH vs. Y&R has been the big battle for years and without the other soaps like ATWT, GL, AMC getting in the way Days is taking advantage. Plus they're also putting out good material so that helps A LOT.

How did anyone say anything was wrong with that? I think she looks younger than her age. I don't think she looks 30 by any means, just looks younger than 54.

And EJ definitely looks older than James Scott does. I find it hard to believe anyone would argue that, but everyone sees things differently, I guess.

Yay to Kristen returning! Hopefully her arc will be more like her last six months, rather than her first. And I'm also going to need them to do better with EJ and Kristen's dynamic. Last go round, it was contrived, boring and creepy - quite a combo.

ETA: Although I do blame the creepy more on JS and ED acting like their characters wanted to fuck each other, as opposed to the writing.

Who said anything about that being wrong?

I disagree that they look their age, that doesn't mean it is wrong for them NOT to look their age.

Millions of people don't look their age, not just on TV.

Exactly (about seeing things differently), I think James looks his age and Eileen looks 10-15 years younger her actual age (I mean, onscreen).

Eric Martsolf has been in constant contact with her since she left. He said that he would text her during scenes saying that they could really use her right now. Eileen's made some great friends on the show. I'm sure she's excited to act with James again.

Did anyone see a recent two-page article in which the Days cast announced what was the best thing about the soap in 2013? Every single one of them except Camila said Eileen Davidson. Ari said something along the lines of her wanting Eileen all for herself. Even Judi Evans who didn't share any scenes with her said that she was at the top of the list of what was best about 2013. Alison said the same. Bottom line: she's respected there. The show gives her the best material.

I wonder what scenes she submitted for the Emmys. I can't wait for her nomination announcement and her actually being on the show at the same time! She better attend with the gang this year! She wasn't there last year when they won the big one. 2012, 2013 have been great years in terms of awards for the show. Hopefully, that trend continues this year.

LOL... quite frankly...ED has already alot of "work" done and JS maybe is about to commit to the knife or Botox..OUCH!

Thank god I am not a soap opera star. I maybe would end up with yellow hair and a blue strek!

Yeah, ED definitely looks late 40s at the youngest to me. JS looks early to late 30s depending on how haggard he is at the moment. But in general, they look 10-15 years apart or so, which is a pretty normal age gap looks-wise for soap parents and kids.

I do think they should totally change the Kristen/EJ relationship. I want a scene where Kristen screams at Stefano, "HE's MY SON!!" or John or anyone. Just so people can realize she's THAT unhinged. She really should think of EJ as a son, but I think that story kinda suffered because of how SORASed EJ is. I would still love to see her playing an overly protective sister because she think of him as a son. They just need to throw some hints out there. Maybe she will kill Sami for EJ :)
She can still be his mom. All they have to do is make EJ the same age as JA and Kristen the same age as ED. Problem solved. EJ can be few years younger than Sami.

People seem to get defensive over a lot of actresses looking their age, not just ED. Like there's something wrong with their favorites aging. I don't get it, but that's why a lot of actresses are compelled to fuck up their faces.
