I always thought Robyn Richards as Maxie could have went the long haul. She couldn't play Maxie as Maxie is today, but I think she could have played Maxie into adulthood just fine.

Idk, I get why most of you didn't like it, but the Possession ending, Ciara/Ben getting their stupid kid back, Tripp throwing himself out a window, Jan wanting to name her kid Britney Spears, and GhostBo? Any one of those things would be a highlight in a normal episode lol.

I might be in the minority, but I thought today's show was pretty good. A little weird it was on a Monday and not a Friday though. Not going to spoil since everyone hasn't seen it, but I was entertained. I'd go as far as saying it was one of the better shows in recent memory even with the Devil stuff.

Someone posted the actual article and he's declared dead but as everyone is mourning, he gets some "divine intervention". So take that for what it's worth, but I am going to assume he's not dead dead.

Yeah, that's what I figured especially since they don't use Kayla/Steve's house that often. I don't know why they would have their own set that looks so similar.

I personally thought it was awkward when Eileen as Kristen was seducing John and SH as Kristen was in the same episode on the main show, but at least it wasn't in the middle of a continuing story-just a vision. It's just weird to reconcile as a viewer. Although a lot of things are hard to reconcile as a viewer on days Yup. I am fine with the Beyond Salem stuff, but when both Kristens are airing simultaneously it's very strange.

It's the same thing with Kristen. It's weird and just stick with one. I know Missy created adult Jen, but it's not like they haven't recast Jen before with a much weaker actress. The show survived that. People seem to actually like Cady as Jen though.

True. Idk, next time it's on I will have to look at it closer. I always just assumed it was the same set because they look very similar.

@NoelI am pretty sure John/Marlena's house is the actual same set as Kayla/Steve's just decorated/shot different. I could be wrong though.

I think it's nice Cady's coming back, but I think it's really weird Missy can basically come back and take the role back when she feels like it.

I genuinely think EOB is one of the best actresses on the show, but I don't think I have ever seen a Gwen fan. I liked her in the beginning and thought she had promise. I do think it's clear the character has hit a dead end though. I am perplexed why Gwen is allowed to have such a point of view all the time. I know more about Gwen and her horrible childhood, desired to be loved, etc. etc. than most characters on the cast. Ron really tried to develop Gwen. It's just the development is poor and unlikable.

This was a nice episode for Tony/Anna/Renee's memory and the show could have easily done this tribute to Renee saying it was the anniversary of her death and everyone would have loved it. The Sarah/Renee stuff was completely unnecessary.

You might have hit the nail on the head for me on this. I don't necessarily think they set it up, but maybe we aren't hearing the whole story. Dorit/PK are so shady it's hard to know what is fake or real with them. You have a very good point though. I doubt they would plan anything with the kids in the house as well.

Agree with this. I do think Ron likes to write for Chanel though.

So strange. They don't share scenes and they rarely even reference what's going on with one another. John used to be pretty close to Victor, so it would make sense they would all interact at least once and a while.

Kyle is a strange case. Why is she always fighting with her sisters? It's not normal. Now, I don't buy Kathy is all sunshine and roses to deal with and it can be exhausting to deal with someone like Kim as well, but c'mon.

I am not sure about the Dorit robbery but I do think LVP might reach out to her after that story became public. Kyle absolutely is waiting for the day LVP would want to talk to her again. She might not 'miss' the friendship but she can see the dollar signs in them reuniting on the show.

I enjoyed the Loving Murders, but do you (or anyone else who liked it) feel like it's only a story you can do when a soap is ending or at least being spun off with selected characters? Idk if I can imagine it on a soap that didn't have a clear expiration date. The victims were major characters and so was the murderer.

I don't know why, but I laughed out loud at Leo's list of enemies. So stupid, but kind of funny he spent time writing down 5 names during breakfast and almost forgot Sonny. Obviously the Sarah story is the worst, but LG really has no idea how to play this. And I get it because it is so stupid, but she's not acting like a child-she's just being obnoxious. Is any 5 or 6 year that obsessed with getting married? Idk, if we are playing mental illness here maybe we shouldn't make it a complete mockery. But we are dealing with Ron. And Maggie saying she's enjoying raising a little girl again? WHAAAATTTTT??? I can't. Ben and a necktie could make that happen for you, but he would still be a hero because you asked for it🤣.

The whole story seems pointless for lack of a better word. Don/Marlena are arguing about Kellam/Liz, but one thing is a lot different than the other. A Thanksgiving at a hospital with children and Kellam isn't the same as having sex with someone else. And Don makes it seem like they are both sins to be forgiven. Whatever, Don. Marlena was trying. John Black would never treat her in such a manner lol.... Also, side note on that clip. Why was Deidre Hall/Marlena so excited Don could use a corkscrew lol. Opening a bottle of wine isn't hard and it was one of those good wine openers too. Maybe she just really needed a drink.

Definitely. I just watch Kellam/Marlena interact and he's practically twirling his mustache next to her. Kellam was not subtle lol. It's weird Don/Marlena stay in limbo for awhile. I know that's normal for a soap, but they are sort of broken up, but not really and it seems to drag for a longer than it should. It's just all very silly in general.

Lol. Maybe because I know how the story ends I just feel like Kellam is so obviously bad, but he literally seems completely unlikable even when he's trying to be nice. Idk, Don is a jerk, but Marlena is extremely dumbed down to make the Kellam thing seem plausible.

Don should shut it, but I still don't know how a smart woman like Marlena didn't find Kellam creepy. Stefano Dimera seems more cuddly than the actor that played Kellam.

The are some things that stick with me like the DH's had an affair in 1986 when the first starting acting together and KA and PR had one that ended badly and that's why they didn't get along for a bit. There was a lot of talk about Missy Reeves and Jason Brooks, but the lawsuit made that public knowledge so it wasn't insider really. I also do think that was the first site that told RKK was the worst.

It's probably where the poster cribbed it from, but I was like so EXCITING lol Also @victoria foxtonthanks for the tag again. Can't wait to watch!
