But that’s with his birth mother, not necessarily his birth father-despite DNA testing a few years back, Diana claimed she lied-but did she lie about the lie?

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – The Diana Colville Cooper Of Old Was A Different Person

No doubt the Diana of old was a different person, or John Black (Drake Hogestyn) never would have been involved with her-perhaps Leo wasn’t the only one abused by Richard Cooper (uncast).

Soap Opera Digest exclusively reported on September 23 that “The Young and the Restless” will be seeing a familiar face in Genoa City this fall: Judith Chapman will reprise her role as Gloria, the mother of the often dysfunctional siblings Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart). Are you excited for her to reunite with her sons?

Gloria was introduced to “Y&r” in 2004 when she was played by “Knots Landing” alum Joan Van Ark. But after a year Chapman stepped in to fill Gloria’s shoes until her last appearance on the show almost exactly two years ago in October 2018. She should be a proud mama since the actors who play her sons are both Daytime Emmy winners, though surprisingly Chapman herself has not been nominated despite more than a decade in the role.

One of General Hospital‘s great murder mysteries had its roots in the fictional town of Laurelton, and more than 34 years later, I am here to vaguely remember it.

Why? I was tweeting this week about how someone in the real world’s political arena has a habit of “gaslighting” his/her constituents. That made me recall the first time I ever heard the term “gaslight” — when Gh‘s Ginny Webber led Bobbie Spencer to believe that she had killed the abusive Dl Brock, when in fact [Spoiler Alert!] Ginny herself had done the deed, albeit in self-defense. (Watch Judith Chapman’s killer confession here.

Marlena gets kidnapped so often it's become a joke.

She's supposed to be this strong, smart woman -- a female psychiatrist who has been helping the citizens of Salem with their mental health issues for over 40 years. But whenever the plot demands it, she gets kidnapped or attacked and needs John to save her.

Their love story is always centered around her being the damsel in distress and him being her knight in shining armor. And on Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-4-18, it happened again thanks to Diana plotting against Marlena.

To her credit, Marlena does see through Diana, which is more than I can say for her husband.

John still insisted there was no reason for Diana to lie about Leo's parentage and seemed generally clueless about his ex's romantic interest in him.

That's silly. John is supposed to be a super-spy! How can he possibly be that oblivious?...

The results are in from the We Love Soaps "Soap of the Week" poll for February 4-8, 2019. NBC's Days of our Lives was voted favorite soap opera for the 24th week in a row.

ABC's General Hospital came in second, followed by CBS' The Young and the Restless.

The Favorite Couple this week was Days' Will & Sonny. Day's Chandler Massey (Will) and Camila Banus (Gabi) were Favorite Actor and Favorite Actress.

A man proving his love to his ex-girlfriend by rescuing her from a dangerous situation is a soap staple.

On Days of Our Lives during the week of 2-4-19, Ben and Chad were both determined to redeem themselves by rescuing loved ones who had been kidnapped, and Stefan took a bullet to save Chloe.

These stories had all the elements of great soapy drama, yet they felt more like stunts designed to grab ratings during February sweeps than anything else. While the random violence took up a lot of screen time, the most fascinating story wasn't that at all.

It was Leo's backstory.

Up until this point, Leo was nothing but irritating.

He forced Sonny to marry him while hitting on every guy he saw, and he seemed to see straight guys as a challenge to be overcome.

But when he confronted his mother, all of that changed.

Days of our Lives fans wondering who was Diana Colville got their answer yesterday, but if you blinked you may have missed it! So here’s the 411 on Diana Colville as well as Diana Cooper, actually one in the same character, played exquisitely by Judith Chapman. Diana Colville was originally portrayed by Genie Francis during one of her many breaks from General Hospital where she stars as Laura. When the character left Salem, it was rumored that she could have been pregnant as she had a relationship with John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Fast forward to the present day and one […]

The post Who was Diana Colville on Days of our Lives? appeared first on Monsters and Critics.

I didn't expect to love Diana Cooper as much as I do.

Judith Chapman is a soap legend who played snobby, evil Anjelica to perfection back in the 1990s and it's great to have her back on canvas.

But the Leo story has been nothing but annoying so far, and Days of Our Lives' track record with bringing back old characters hasn't been great lately. So Diana's snarky, snooty, enigmatic ways on Days of Our Lives during the week of 1-29-19 were a refreshing surprise.

From the moment DIana set foot on the Kiriakis mansion grounds, she had my interest.

So far, she's an old-school diva who rivals Kate for the title of coldest woman in Salem, except Kate would do anything for her kids and Diana seems to hate hers, at least to his face.

She abhors what Leo is doing, yet she does seem to want to protect him,...
