It's called "product placement." They've done it before with cereal and other products. It's seems to be a thing in movies and TV.

Tacky, tacky, tacky!

They did that a while back with some frozen Chinese food. They must really need the money to keep the show going. With story lines like they have right now, I wonder why they bother.

The show was preempted in my area today. Gold, tennis or some sporting activity. Tomorrow is the same. The station may air it in the wee hours of the morning but I'm not staying awake to see this

Oh, I know. All My Children was notorious for it; it concocted an entire storyline around Campbell's products at one point.

I just found the Midol plug quite hysterical. I dunno, maybe my hormones are fluctuating ... (maybe??!?! )

You didn't miss anything yesterday anyway; the Midol bit was the highlight of the show.

Days is the first time I had ever seen this on TV. Sami was talking to someone, I forget who, about some delicious cereal prominently holding up the box and mentioning the name. You're right, the Midol thing was so funny. How can the actors keep a straight face when they have to nonchalantly shill for products. As if there weren't enough commercials in between scenes every 15 minutes.

I actually fell asleep during part of the show. Typical Days, just when it gets interesting, the start beating the dead horse and it gets boring.

Isn't Lexi's last air date this wednesday? I have been trying to watch online, but last I checked it was a couple of days behind. Its usually just one. I don't want to miss her last few days on air. I think she is going to reveal some juicy stuff.

That's what I read; Tuesday's cable previews say something about Lexie "growing weaker."

And I bet it's tough for people trying to figure out where to hide presents they've got for you, too.

Well, if I just happen to stumble upon them...............

So it looks like Daniel is interested in Nicole for sure. I was hoping it wouldn't happen. I just don't see those two together. I wonder who they will be pairing Rafe with.
