I don't think she's eating up too much air time, and I do think she'd done well with the rape story. But she is still pretty hit or miss.
I think she's one of those actresses that could really benefit from a good acting coach or a few lessons. SOmeone that could watch her reels and give her some constructive criticism and target what she's doing wrong.....

I think Vivian works with an acting coach. She talked about them in her recent interview with Voldy. She could get a new one though. :)

It drives me crazy the way she pauses after every. single. word.

Forget an acting coach, she needs speech therapy.

I think Jamey Giddens / Daytime Confidential is good with rumors about Young and the Restless. Almost all of those come true.

But I haven't seem them being accurate with the other soaps.

THIS.

And the teeth. She clenches them alot and sometimes she rushes through her dialogue delivery. To me, her issues have more to do with delivery than anything else.

I think she's done well with this story and I don't think it's rushed at all. I think it's just beginning, to be honest. It's pretty obvious the repercussions will play for a long time. Days is clearly under a mandate to tell story fast and it's just something many of us aren't used to. I am ok as long as they play the necessary beats and they have this far with the rape. Hopefully, that continues.

I actually could get behind Ciara becoming obsessed with Chad. I think VJ would be much better with something like that. Ciara will likely rebel in the aftermath of all this and we all speculated based on how she was when Lauren Boles played her that Ciara would become a schemer. This story can bring that out like it did for Sami and Ciara can go after Chad and be a thorn in his and Abby's side down the road. That could actually be a really good, soapy story especially given Abby's history with Austin and Carrie and also given Theo's bond with Chad. It's all in how they play it.

I think their biggest scoop ever was when they reported that AMC was moving production from NYC to LA. No one else was reporting anything of the sort, and a few months later...they were moving to LA.

I'm sure they've burned quite a few bridges over the years with some of their reporting and/or tweeting, and that's probably why some of their stuff hasn't been as accurate over the last year or few years. Jamey even said on the podcast that it wasn't easy to get the story on Becky, so.... :shrug:

Ciara and Chad would be a disaster, poor Billy Flynn deserves a better scene partner. I hope it's not true.

Ciara and Joey are really uncomfortable to watch because the acting is so bad. I was shocked how bad Joey was today, I don't understand how Days can let that happen, it's embarrassing. Who thinks it's a good idea to give these unexperienced actors big stories like that? They need to use them less and give them several takes to shoot their scenes when needed. Recasting should be considered. Theo and Claire are a lot better, they can stay.
Joey and Jade were cringe worthy all around, I think JL may be getting worst, I liked him at first.

I was just thinking that this show really needs a long running Sami/Austin/Carrie type of story but I don't know if I want Ciara/Chad to the be the foundation. I kind of want Allie to play that role eventually.

I swear it's the curse of Ava. Things started to go down hill when that story started, IMO. Although I like fallout, the sooner that story ends, the better for the actors/characters involved. It really hasn't done any of them any favors and has just kept them so isolated.

I think some of these were tweeted and discussed last week, but maybe not all of them ...

From Digest (issue dated March 21 but actually in stores March 11th)...
Blind items -- "Stuff we know and shouldn't tell you".

1. One show is close to casting a new role that will spell trouble for a popular duo.

2. Rumor has it that this back-burnered fave is finally in line for a big story, set to kick off in early summer.

3. There's some friction on one soap between its leading lady and leading ingenue, and setsiders are noticing the escalating tension between the two.

4. One young former soap actor has radically changed his appearance, hoping it will land him a more mature role on another show.

Those four items are also transcribed by Serial Scoop here:
http://www.serialscoop.com/2016/03/daytime-soap-opera-blind-item-report.html

There was a fifth "stuff we know" blind item in Digest:
"One actress quietly confirmed her pregnancy to pals at Digest's 40th anniversary party."
But that one is probably Ashley Jones who has since made a statement about it - info here:

Honestly, I find the teens a complete bore. Kyle/Theo is the only interesting and talented one. I feel bad for Ciara and what she's gone through, but the actress is not delivery for me. I just can't with her and the same with the actor that plays Joey. Something that these two do in their scenes drives me bonkers. I abated to like Joey and the actor that plays him, because he's part of Steve/Kayla, I just can't do it.

And pairing Ciara with Chad would be disastrous, but at least I can FF them if it happened.

Number four should be the easiest one to figure out since there should be visual evidence, but I'm drawing a blank. It sounds like he maybe had kind of a "babyface"/sweet appearance during their last soap role.

Thinking about all the younger actors from Days the last four or so years, and I don't think any of them fit. Must be another show.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Wasn't Chad 26 on the birth certificate?
Yes
Ok I thought he was close to 30 for some reason.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deeprumor. They also repeated what Lysie has said in the past about TPTB loving VJ, though.

On the whole, I think it depends on which soap they're talking about with regard to their accuracy. I honestly think they've always been a bit tighter on the ABC soap stuff. :shrug:
Thank you, cord08. I don't really get why TPTB likes VJ so much. I think she may have, possibly, some potential, maybe. But she's not very good right now.

The Chad/Ciara stuff just makes me nervous because my mom was CONVINCED they were chem-testing them in Friday's episode. I laughed it off, because I thought it was so gonzo, but... :unsure:

The BH stuff, I do believe. It sounds weird and crazy and not a great idea, but I wouldn't put it past Days at all.
I agree. I just don't see why TPTB like VJ so much, either.
KM didn't hit her stride until the EJABBY story ... who knows.

I couldn't believe they were doing Ejabi either. Now I'm getting a deja vu feeling. lol
I can see it now.....After Abby leaves, Ciara helps Chad out by babysitting and the two of them become closer. They end up having sex and then have to keep it from Theo because neither of them want to hurt him.

It's a rumor. He said they were considering chem testing Ciara with Chad. Not definite and nothing about a relationship or sex.

Which is a weird thing for there to be a rumor about. I could see there being a legit rumor if they had already chem tested them...but considering chem testing them?

I kind of wonder if the fact that they shared space on Friday started the rumor.

Abby was a thorn in Austin and Carrie's side for about 2 months. They are not on canvas so I don't know how that would play into the story. I respectfully disagree that VJ would be better with something like this. Her character hasn't shown an overwhelming amount of interest in boys like some of the past teens have. She isn't the sassy type. I just can't see her translating this type of thing well yet. They'd also be taking story away from Kyler Pettis (which I've seen some already label this type of move racist). These teens need to have stories of their own.

If it turns out they are doing something with Gabi/Lucas, why would they do this too?
