She can keep the charm bracelet, but John would regularly get her ugly necklaces all the time she could pawn. I am still not sure how I feel about both Carrie and Belle being lawyers, but it worked for this story.

They had a week's worth of discussions about budget and then it disappeared. Realistically, Marlena could have sold some of that ugly ass jewelry John used to give her all the time lol. I longed for the Paris Underground and Cages. They are already ridiculous in the best way don't give them the world's most boring, yet also weirdly complicated story. I did like Carrie in the story though.

Yeah, I think I would swap out Robin's paternity reveal or whatever they were referencing in 1985 and put Robin's return on there. I would have had Sonny shooting Dante on there too, but I guess that was a little over a decade ago.

The fraud story was really stupid. I still don't know if John got his money back lol. It was just not a J&M bread and butter story and it was very boring.

The townhouse sucks! I sort of got it when it first appeared because John/Marlena had to downsize because of that whole fraud situation when they first came back and John lost all his money. But now we are supposed to believe it is a huge place with multiple bedrooms and space. My living room in my 2 bedroom house is larger than that!

I have a lot of thoughts of Peter being anywhere near a GH top 10 list (unless it's a top 10 worst list), but I guess his death was to be celebrated. There are a few moments I would take out, but it's an overall solid list.

The layout of J&M's house seriously confounds me as well. At least have a doorway where the kitchen would be. It's like the living room just leads to a hallway of endless bedrooms. Do they have a den? Kitchen? Bathrooms? Is that tiny living room the only common space in the house? I appreciate the fact Days kept the Horton house, but I really wish they kept the Penthouse set. I didn't even get to say goodbye to it. One day John's in a coma and Marlena just explains she sold the Penthouse!!! off screen while he was ill which is kind of a major change to make without talking to your partner lol.

Yeah, the character is a mess. I wouldn't say it's the actor's fault. Nina's backstory is banana's lol. I don't think MS brought anything special to the table as Nina, but I don't think she was bad. I can't see her in a pairing with MB at all though lol.

I liked MS better than CW as Nina, but it's two different characters at this point. I thought MS had good chemistry with Ingo and RH. In general I despise Nina, but I didn't think MS was that bad. The character just was awful.

You aren't wrong. I think it's just in my perception of things. I know the K mansion is big because we saw it in the 90's as being big. If Marlena/John still lived in her penthouse and it was a different set my mind would know it was quite large even if it didn't look that way. I believe they do mirror John/Marlena's house with Patch/Kayla's. They just have a kitchen, but it's the same bones of a set.

At least the Dimera and Kiriakis mansion seem big. John/Marlena's house doesn't even have a visible kitchen or bathroom. Just a hallway that leads to 75 rooms🤣

From what we were told Wendy is good at her job or at IT/hacking and shouldn't be fired. If everyone was fired for having relatives that suck at Dimera no one would be left employed there 🤣. I generally assume Sarah/Wendy are too lazy to go house hunting these days because they have to be able to afford at least a small place.

I am still stuck as to why Wendy has to sleep on the couch in the middle of the living room when there is apparently a perfectly fine couch in an office that has some privacy.

Correct lol. It was stupid as was the fake acting by Allie/Alex. Just make up a dumb story about why you are together. It's not like they were naked lol. Allie left her wallet at the bar and Alex dropped it off. Good cover. I know that's not very soapy, but it really wasn't that soapy of a situation. Have Chanel juggle her keys while they were in bed or waking up. Not an hour later.

I was laughing at Chanel trying to find her keys in that tiny ass purse. Like her keys are all that purse would fit. I may be on an island alone here, but I actually like Allie/Alex together. Not as a couple and they both still suck, but I enjoy their scenes together. I don't know what's wrong with me.🤣

Okay? But I don't see how that would be much harder. I don't think production is making anything unavailable for People. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I just don't think a 15 dollar magazine was slapped together without thought or at least a mild barometer of popularity of it's subject. Feel free to move on from the subject....

I don't imagine it would be hard to find available photos of anyone on GH past or present unless we are going back to the 60s or early 70s so I don't think People just looked at around for a bunch of stock photos they had on hand lol and went from there. I think there was a rhyme and reason and a bit of a gauge of popularity. I don't think People would just randomly dig up a photo of Trina/Spencer (a non-couple) without a bit of research. Anyhow, we have talked about a lot of other sillier things for much longer as well.

Obviously, I was not arguing with SnB on the cover. I would put them on every cover anytime even non-GH ones lol. The S/B/J triangle was my first real taste of the soap internet fandom and it was very passionate and intense. I am surprised it still holds up because the show certainly never references Sonny/Brenda. I do personally feel they were the last GH supercouple, but everyone's mileage varies on that and I think there are a few GH couples that have strong arguments.

Lol! I think whoever People's photo editor(s) is for this is a secret Sonny and Brenda shipper. They were on the 50th too and Carly and Jason aren't in sight. At least Becky/Liz deserves to be on the cover. On the 50th there was a big random pic of ASJ/Jagger shirtless for no apparent reason lol.

I am actually starting to think the apartment Allie lives in is 4 bedrooms lol. Even if Henry slept in the 'office' where did Holly sleep? Not with Nicole or Allie. Possibly with Henry in the office, but that would suck for Holly. Anyway, I used to think Nicole owned the apartment and was giving Allie a good deal on rent and there were enough people related to Allie that they possibly could be watching Henry offscreen. Now most those people are dead, in jail, and/or trying to kill Orpheus. So I don't know, but a lot of people do go to Sweet Bits so I assume it's thriving even though Allie appears to rarely work there. As far as Sarah, I have no idea how she can't afford first and last months rent on a studio. I know she took a pay cut, but she's been working for months. Perhaps she and Wendy should become roomies lol. LG and KL have like zero chemistry, but it is also hard when I feel like I know nothing about Rex except he loves Sarah and can't keep it in his pants. Back when Sarah first arrived I was really interested in seeing Noel appear and having a fun triangle with Rex, but that ship has sailed. The show is only barely committing to Rex and it seems very weird having him pop in and out.

At the end of the day you and I have put more thought into making this make sense than anyone at Days has 🤣. I just know in my own house I have one of those rooms that is an office like area that has it's own entrance but you can also enter it from my room, which is actually just a weird design but I assume it's for a study/office/baby's room.

Your explanation sounds the most plausible, but the layout of that apartment has changed since Nicole/Allie/Henry lived there because I remember Nicole had a bedroom, Allie had a room, and Henry had one. I distinctly remember when Allie/Tripp were together Tripp and/or Allie would leave her room and go through another door to check on Henry. Perhaps there are adjoining doors to the office and Henry's old room and that's why Alex/Allie exited together. Maybe Chanel and Allie did make the third room an office and didn't feel the need to change it for random houseguests like Wendy lol.

I remember it all fell apart very suddenly too because all the insiders and mags said a deal was close or likely and then she was out a week or so later. It really screwed GH and wasn't a good look, but I am sure Vanessa is fine with it because she booked Las Vegas very shortly after. GH/ABC looked stupid

I just assume no one actually knows Marlena's real age lol. And if they do they aren't telling.

Thank you! Now that you brought that clip over I completely remember. I am getting old lol! It's lovely as was the entire funeral. I guess Anna has a knack for this and that's why she got chosen for this assignment.
