Chloe and Brady!

I haven't seen any of the stuff with them, but it, along with Lumi, have made it very tempting to tune in; because I've wanting this reunion for years. I have been saying since practically day one that Eric took over the role that they should be giving these two a shot again, because I saw the potential chemistry; and damn if the show tried everything but Chloe and Brady, and it drove me flippin' crazy. But I just... don't want to... I keep tabs to what degree I can, more so, so that I can still come here to hang out with all of you, but they've just burned me one too many times to want to go back.

It's unfortunate to hear that whatever work Nadia has had done is still apparent. I saw a photo on a Days Facebook page recently and thought it looked like her lips might have been more back to normal, but it was hard to tell from that one shot. I had hoped that it had subsided, because I've always thought she was gorgeous; more so when she wasn't trying hard to look glam - like, Nadia sans bronzer, eyeliner, etc. is sexy AF. I mean, all that stuff added doesn't take away from her beauty, but it doesn't make her more beautiful and just kind of seems like gilding the lily adding that crap if it's not necessary.
I hate nitpicking about someone's appearance, but it honestly makes me kind of sad that anyone feels the need to do shit like that in an effort to stay beautiful; particularly when it does not look natural when all is said and done. I mean, it's their prerogative if they feel those measures are necessary, and far be it for me to say otherwise. I don't get a say in what they do or don't do, but I feel bad if someone feels the need to "improve" their appearance if they genuinely don't. Like, I can understand it to a certain degree, because there are a million little things that I wish were different about my appearance, but I'm too neurotic to think I'd ever actually be satisfied changing anything, because would I have the objectivity to know whether it was an "improvement" or not? Probably not.
But even just beyond that, the fact that actors in particular often feel it necessary to take such measures to stay relevant in their industry is the kind of bullshit in a very long list of reasons that I could never want to be part of that professional world; or want anyone I know to be part of it. So many people in that industry feel the need to compromise themselves to achieve or maintain success, and too often it asks too much.

Well, that's good to hear about Nadia.  I haven't minded the shorter hair for her; I personally thought it's looked good on her.  It doesn't work for everyone, but I thought it was flattering enough.
It's very tempting to check it out, but not tempting enough, I think.  Not sure what they'd have to do, short of put me in charge of writing the show, to rope me back into watching it.  I've given up on a lot of shows lately that I found myself wondering, for quite a long time now, "why am I still watching this?"  Namely the Arrowverse shows; and there's still that temptation, which I may or may not eventually give into, since they're still filling up my DVR.  But I think Days has crossed the Rubicon for me.  I don't know why it was the final straw, but when they made Allie an adult with a baby on the way was too much.  I utterly despise SORAS to begin with, I hated how much they aged up Claire and play fast and loose with other character ages, but Allie was too much; I couldn't watch after that...
