From Stephanie Sloane
DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been dynamite this week, thanks to some astounding performances from Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Martha Madison (Belle). Hall has been playing the widow Marlena with an eerie calm that is downright unnerving, yet fascinating to watch. (And if you've caught her recent stuff with Kristian Alfonso's Hope and Joseph Mascolo's Stefano, you know what I mean.) In yesterday's show, where Marlena asked Belle about Philip, she was part-shrink, part-mom, but fully committed to getting her daughter to admit the truth. And Madison held her own, giving Belle false bravado that dissolved into a teary confession under mom's loving scrutiny. Though Belle's only been married for a day or two, you did feel badly for her when she explained how she was torn between her current husband and her ex, thanks to Madison's emotional spin. These were well-written, beautifully acted mother/daughter moments that we're starting to see more of on DAYS, so if you did miss it, tune into SOAPnet Sunday night to catch the marathon! Trust me.
