This Week's Soap Promos! (September 13th-17th, 2021)
This week on the US Daytime Soaps...
General Hospital
Leave Sonny as amnesiac Mike or have him simply not care about the mob anymore and end that aspect of the show all together. Hopefully Peter's return reign of terror will be quick (who am I kidding).
Days of Our Lives
Johnny's idea seems dumb. Didn't Sami already leave Salem for Hollywood once to portray her life...or something? Also, why does the Days PR team think THIS is the storyline that is promo worthy?
I really enjoyed "Beyond Salem". It was nice to see the characters in a different setting and adventure in a way that made them feel like real people. Even with just like 2 scenes, Eileen Davidson once again proved she cannot be beat as Kristen. Try as Stacey Haiduk might, she just doesn't bring the same magic to the role that Eileen does.
The Young and the Restless
The Bold and the Beautiful
