Here are today’s screencaps and media. I’m loving the whole vibe with Tamara and Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip Kiriakis). He’s an amazing actor and if there is no one else for Tamara to act with, no better person than Jay. Oh, I love the barware. Any chance Ava might be throwing some of that? Just asking.
Hi there. Yeah, I said these would be up later yesterday, but I had something happen and I had to get it seen to. I broke the baby toe on my right foot and it was a nightmare to get it seen to with all these COVID restrictions in place. It’s buddy splinted right now and I’ll see my family doctor on Tuesday and he’ll let me know if he plans on sending me to a specialist. Right now I’m on painkillers and I have to elevate it as much as possible. So that’s the news. Here are the screencaps and media from yesterday’s episode. A little later than anticipated. Colour still sucks and still haven’t heard back from company who makes my capture device. What’s that Carly Simon song?
Here rather late is today’s/yesterday’s episode of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. So far so “good”? At least they don’t have Ava acting like a nutter like they did the last time around. I can hardly wait for this storyline to get going. I want to see what’s going to happen with Ava and Tripp (Lucas Adams) and Steve (Stephen Nichols). Not exactly sure where this is heading with Kristin (Stacy Haiduk) but we’ll soon see. Video quality still sucks. I had to run the featured image through Photoshop to get it right. I wish I could run the video clip through the same program, but I can’t. Also a change to the featured images from here on. I’ve decided to stop putting the date and name on the image. I don’t do it on my other sites, or at least with the rare exception. I did have a PSD of the file, but that’s on the harddrive that fried about two years ago so I’m S.O.L.
Here are the scans I promised. They’re from the latest edition of Soap Opera Digest. As always you can find the transcript of the articles in the press section menu link at the top. The current articles are marked with a in the header.
Sorry for how late these are. I’m apparently having issues with trying to get back into the swing of editing clips and screencapping screencaps. Unfortunately I’m grossly out of practice and none of my programs I used for doing each were working right. Add to that I have a new capture device that I get the episode off of my television and the new program sucks at colour. The clip isn’t like my GENERAL HOSPITAL ones with how rich the colour was. I’m going to have to send a ticket to the program creators and see if they can help. Until that time this is what we have. My apologies. While doing the featured image screencap for the video thumbnail I forgot what the font was I used and had to go through the entire 1405 fonts I have on my Photoshop to see which it was. After about two hours, I finally found it. So this is how out of practice I am. As for Tamara’s return as Ava Vitali, good to see her alive and well. I love they’re throwing her right back with Steve (Stephen Nichols). So we’re up for good times. I have some scans for the gallery I’ll get up tomorrow. Right now I’m tired, I have one of my migraines, and I am just to mad at the look of the video and screencaps I could spit. Alas….
A new letter in Soap Opera Digest from someone saying the same thing I’ve been saying for years since Tamara first debuted on DAYS OF OUR LIVES as Ava Vitali. That is the chemistry between Tamara and Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson). This person, a fellow Canadian, sees the same thing I do in the amount of hotness between the two. Now a lot of the Stayla fans will contend it was rape what Ava did to Steve. Not when he jumped on the bed and was very voracious in the amount of lust he had for her. This wasn’t an Outlander case of Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) raping Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). That was clearly rape. Some would say like Jamie Steve couldn’t consent. Jamie did to save Claire (Caitriona Balfe), but he didn’t jump on Black Jack’s bones when he did it. Steve on the other hand was a little too willing. And again I’ll say Steve had other alternatives to sleeping with Ava who went willingly to Indonesia to find Tripp (Lucas Adams). Jamie was held captive in a dungeon for at least two days while Black Jack broke him down in both Wentwoth Prison and To Ransom A Man’s Soul. Steve had the ability to walk out the door and return to Salem at anytime to find Kayla (Mary Beth Evans). Unlike Jamie who was chained to a wall and completely under Black Jack’s hand. Ah well, people will still say it was rape because of the personal stake in the Stayla pairing. Here’s the letter…..
Back In Action
I’m just writing about a recent article in your magazine. I’m very, very, ecstatic that Ava is returning to DAYS. I know when she comes to the show that DAYS is can’t-miss! Tamara Braun is an amazing actress anyway, and with her and Stephen Nichols [Steve] in scenes together, those two have so much chemistry, it’s on fire. Steve can be telling her he hates her, but they still have it, for days.
