Donna, Kristian Alfonso didn't literally change clothes on camera. She was in a scene with her dress, Jen went to get ice cream, and by the time the scene picked back up Hope was in jeans and a t-shirt. Jen and Julie were in the same clothes, but I guess Hope decided to change during the commercial break or something.

I appreciate the John tributes and think Drake deserves it all, but it is wearing me out as a viewer. I liked all the flashbacks. Also, I enjoyed Hope doing an entire outfit change in the midst of eating ice cream. That dress was ugly so I am glad she changed. It was just very random lol.

I'd dump Chase too, but I would also have done a lot more with JJ as Lucky so the show and I have different plans lol. I get the idea of Brook Lynn and Chase being a stable, cornerstone couple of the show, but they are so boring. I assume Kelly "kill off Britt, I am gone for good" Thiebaud is back for Steve. I wonder if they will try her with Cody again though. I am with @Vee and do think Josh Kelly/Cody have promise. I have been saying that for years though and he's still wandering around canvas not doing much.

It's sad because Lucky/Liz were an amazing young couple, but they were very much a moment in time unlike some other soap love stories. Liz grew up and moved on and had growth in her life. BH/JJ still have fantastic chemistry but it just not workable anymore as a coupling. My teenage heart cries although I find it very realistic.

I will back you up and I remember people actually wanted Isabella/John and Wayne's Roman/Marlena together. JER and even the writers before him in 1991 were setting up the seeds for Marlena/John, but it's interesting to think about. I think Isabella would have ended up like Kristen resorting to schemes and lies to keep John, so it's probably better she died.

Isabella is better in rewatch. She was needy and annoying in all the clips she appeared in to me. As time went on I realized she was a good partner for John in the moment. LOL. Chanel/Raven did look bored.

Oh, Jack would make a lot more sense lol!! I felt the cancer story moved so quickly. I know it's because Staci Greason couldn't work out a deal with Days, but it felt fast. And, yeah, it hits different now.

Isabella and John never had a platonic friendship. John and Marlena probably had a more "platonic" friendship in the 90's lol. John and Isabella were literally married when she got sick. They weren't buddies. She had just given birth to his child.

I actually did like Isabella's friendship with Jack/Jen. I feel like a lot of material was forced on Isabella like Victor being her dad, Bo being her brother, the crazy sister, the insta John love affair-none of it was natural to me. I HATED Izzy B back in the day, but in a rewatch situation she's okay. Very pushy with RoJohn about the baby and making a choice between her and Marlena though. Give the man 10 minutes lol. And we obviously have reached an impasse re Marlena. Loved her from the first second I saw her lol. I don't ever find Marlena dull, but I can see how people could find her cold. That's just Deidre Hall I think.

Lol. I don't even really have a reason to hate Isabella-I just do. She was objectively a very nice character with frizzy hair. I just don't get the love for her. To me she was such a short blip on the John timeline and no one would remember her if she didn't die tragically.

I don't want to speak ill of the fictional dead, but Isabella was an idiot lol

@AbcNbc247 and I have always loved us some Paul Naurita/Christopher Sean lol. He's John's best child by a mile if we don't count Carrie. I have always thought CS shared a lot of Drake's mannerisms and looks like John/Drake, or what I assume a half-Asian child of John's would look like lol. While Belle looks and acts more like Marlena/Deidre, Paul has always been the closest to being like John. Brady is a shame to his parents so he favors no one.

Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately. Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another. She was always a side character to me. I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.

I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content". In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all. There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen. Cady tried and it didn't work for me. Whenever Missy steps into the role it works. It's a two things can be true situation. Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.

Yup. You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years. So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow. Lol. This can't be a serious post.😂

That makes it worse!!!😂

I like Amelia too. I honestly don't mind the name Willow in general either. Wiley is stupid. It's sounds like Wile E. Coyote.

Daisy? Meh. I don't love the name (no offense to any Daisy's out there lol)

I actually thought it was a dig at Haley too when I heard it lol.

Yes. I remember them together during the early summer of 1986. They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.

Well you have a Violet hater friend in me. And, seriously, Laura Wright has had those moles and beauty marks for years. No one would take time to alter that lol.

FALSE!!! She was never cute or precocious or adorable.

And Violet's.....😂 I am sure Frank's been missing her lisp and singing.

I am sure it was not what JJ thought was going to happen with Lucky or Lucky/Liz and I don't think JJ will ever be back. That was just an awful return and his return in 2010 wasn't anything great lol.
