We have a rare treat here at “Soapbox” with a report from guest blogger Robert Janjigian, fashion editor of the Palm Beach Daily News. He is one of the best writers I know and he’s an incredibly hard worker, always juggling multiple assignments. I may be a tad biased, but, in my opinion, he’s the [...]

How hot are E.J. and Nicole on Days of Our Lives? They’re so sizzling that I shall refrain from posting a clip of their recent elevator romp, just in case there are still a few conservative-minded soap viewers out there. If you’re interested, you’ll have to search for those juicy scenes on your own! What [...]

So The Phoenix is rising again on Days of Our Lives. Well, it’s about time. As most Days fans know, Stefano DiMera (aka The Phoenix) disappeared from the Salem canvas several months ago after his portrayer, the delightfully devilish Joseph Mascolo, was stupidly let go. Yeah, that’s right. I called the Days‘ head honchos stupid. [...]

I am absolutely loving the newly formed friendship between Ava and Nicole on Days of Our Lives. What a fabulous idea to pair these two as pals. Two women who, for obvious reasons, are severely lacking in the buddy department. It makes sense that they would form a bond. Watching these two “girl talk” is [...]

Oh, Nicole. How I have missed thee. It is so nice (well, if you can actually use the word nice in regards to Nicole) to have Ms. Walker (Arianne Zuker) back on Days of Our Lives. Talk about someone with the ability to stir things up. She’s like Sami. Only funnier. Speaking of Sami, I [...]

It’s been fun watching Tamara Braun play the obsessive, aggressive and possessive Ava on Days of Our Lives. But it’s still hard for me not to think of her as Carly on General Hospital. It’s not that Tamara’s not capable of playing another character. Nor is she the only actress who comes to mind when [...]

Suzanne Oberman, our DOOL specialist, has returned as a guest blogger to offer her commentary on the latest happenings in Salem. Will Bo really die? By Suzanne Oberman Well, they killed John. Or so we thought. And like John, Bo has been a fundamental part of the Days of Our Lives script for many eons. [...]

Suzanne Oberman, our DOOL specialist, has returned as a guest blogger to offer her commentary on the latest happenings in Salem. What Will Happen In the Aftermath of the Plane Crash? By Suzanne Oberman Watching John’s plane lose control and crash this past week on Days of Our Lives was kind of like watching the [...]

OK. So … let me get this straight. Despite one outlandish backstory change after another, it turns out that John Black on Days of Our Lives is really a Brady after all. Hmmmm. Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve wasted the past 15 years or so investing in John’s mysterious past? I have never [...]

So Drake Hogestyn is returning to Days of Our Lives as John. Nevermind that he was the fatal victim of a hit and run. Or that we watched scene after scene of him on his death bed. Or that everyone gathered around to say goodbye, first at the hospital and then at his funeral (complete [...]
