I don't pay much attention to Dex, but he seems the same to me? Maybe his hair did change a bit. I wouldn't say Dex ever had a lisp, but he's always had moments of mumbled enunciation. I think the "rumors" about Dex being related to a legacy character are just pure fanfiction. I don't think they were ever credible. Although Sasha being Holly/Robert's daughter was never on my bingo card, so who knows?

I thought so, but wasn't positive. Thanks!

I think both Jack/Jen and Carly lived there. Can't remember if Steve did. I would still say I identify it most with John though.

Yeah..I think Deidre either was recurring or had a short term contract starting out, so once the show decided to keep Marlena they just gave her a set. The gatehouse set was pretty cute. Speaking of sets that I liked, I loved John/Isabella's loft. I know tons of people lived there, but I always thought the set up of the place was cool. They brought it back for KL's Brady and it just disappeared after a few years. It would be a great place for Brady/Tate to currently live.

I think it was more to give Marlena a more permanent set? I think Don mostly always had that apartment that Marlena/Don lived in.

Thanks! That mostly lines up with my memories of clips. I think Don/Marlena's apartment was the same just without Don because he moved in with Liz? I get a little confused with that as well, but it appears that Marlena rents the Penthouse after all the serial killer stuff, so the Roman/Marlena initial scenes are in her/Don's apartment.

Agree 100%. The effort it would take me to get Peacock to another program is too time consuming. I am in it to win it while watching Days lol. The scenes don't need to be short. I am not going anywhere.

I like the name. I think I have known 3 Sasha's in my life and they were Alexandra or Alexander, but that's obviously not enough data to call it just a nickname I suppose. Since Sasha clearly has lied about her last name and entire upbringing I thought there might be a different real name for her that she's hiding.

Haha! It's not a hard name to pronounce at all but it's hilarious her own mother can't pronounce it. It's strange that Holly would give her child a heavily Slavic/Russian name and mostly a nickname at that. I keep waiting for the 'real name' Sasha reveal lol.

You don't like the name Sasher?😂

Yeah, Abe was on my list, but then I realized that made 8 lol. I guess Shane doesn't count. He said 7 heroes. People were just guessing who the others were. I don't think it diminishes Drake or Bill's legacy or any other "hero" characters? You missed Ben the hero obviously.😂

Probably Tom and Roman too?

I am not going to lie, Kristen just sitting around while the entire Black/Evans family reunited and just blatantly ignored her was pretty funny today.

Got you. I am doing this mostly from memory so I could be wrong. I never saw full episodes of this era but just by judging from the clips I have I can tell some sets are different. I have a clip post Roman proposing and Anna appearing with Carrie where Marlena buys/rents some sort of penthouse. It may have been Alex's? Soapcentral just says various locations for her homes before 1983, but lists the same address as the OG Penthouse as her current home so they might be wrong. Unless this penthouse is supposed to be the 90's penthouse with a different set like GH's Sonny's penthouse set now.

No. DJ died in Marlena/Don's shared apartment. That's also where Kellam raped her. Marlena had moved by the time Sam died. I think Gwen Davies was her roomate at the time. It's definitely two different sets. I think Marlena moves again after into some sort of penthouse, then marries Roman, and they obviously live in the Brady house until John buys Marlena the awesome penthouse after Belle's birth and then we move on to the current Townhouse/Penthouse of today.

I feel like she lived in a small house. I can only recall Marlena/Sam's scenes right now and before Sam took over her life it looked like a house/cottage. Her and Don seemed to have an apartment that I assume was his? I remember when FosterkidJohnny gave Kellam the key to Marlena/Don's house it had multiple other doors nearby in a hallway. She had a nice apartment/possible penthouse when she divorced Don and Roman moved in with his sleeping bag. Someone might know better than me, but that's just what it looked like from clips. @JAS0N47 probably has the set lists to clarify.

I feel like the last time we saw the actual Brady house set was when Sami was about to give birth in 1995, so it's been 30 years. I think some pieces of the set were used for Bo/Hope and Abe/Lexi's houses later on.

The show has 100% referred to John/Marlena's current house as a penthouse, but they also have said townhouse before as well. I wish they would bring back the Brady house too, but I don't think it's big enough for all the current occupants in the house. I think last we heard in 1998/99 Roman re-bought the house (different set). I wonder if they could bring it back.

Good episode today. The John stuff was really tough for me, but it's nice to see all the returning faces. You felt a lot of genuine emotion from the cast when they were talking about John/Doug.

My friend, that's not exactly an endorsement of Brenda's awesomeness, but you can still sit with me 😂, which is probably not even that cool lol.

I don't think you even like Brenda, but GT will always be my go to sacrifice if necessary because of you.😂

Well, obviously anyone who loves Brenda can come sit by me. Even if they like Gina Tognoni🤣

I was wondering if it was short for Alexandra because Sasha is the common Russian nickname for that. But.....Holly's English so no idea. I've known a couple Sasha's in real life and their real name was always Alexandra.

Yeah, if it's Mansi's real hair it looks fried to a crisp with bleach. I don't think any Abby has to be blonde. It helps, but we've had two dark haired Stephanie's so it's not a huge deal.

This scene was very good, but on a very superficial note-Kate Mansi doesn't look great as blonde or at least that color blonde. It looks like a wig (it might be?) Carrie smacking young Abby is pretty satisfying though.
