Yeah, they've mentioned the year already and/or showed a date on paper.

Whether it's JPL or JKJ, we're getting the sunken in cheeks look. It's Philip Kiriakis of 2023. No one's a baby face forever. On the other current thread subject, DAYS is so weird with their gay male characters. They're either a complete over the top joke like Leo, or they're these chaste straight-laced goody-goodies that come off as the common heterosexual. I don't get it, and clearly neither do the writers.

Agreed. No sympathy. Someone put this man to pasture; he looks like a damn fool with his "I'm just light headed" "I didn't eat" whatever B.S. his team is feeding to the media who eats it right up. Die on the spot next time. #sorrynotsorry

Meanwhile, I've only started episode 4 of NuRHONY on my own, and I don't feel compelled to continue. If there's already a midseason trailer out, it must be a short season! I'm sure I'll sit down and binge it eventually. Side note: In its place, hubby & I are watching early years of Married to Medicine. We started at Season 3 (I think); the year Dr. Heavenly joins. I am *loving* this show...

And here I thought they'd drag out the Drew post-filming divorce drama... which I'm sure they do. It means so much of everything else is a dud. Glad to know it'll be a tighter reunion.

Isn't that cute... people up top actually thinking viewers are going to soap hop in the year 2023 to see their favorites from two decades prior. Adorable.

Whenever I see Steve Burton onscreen, all I think is : Why. Is. He. Here???

Week of 1/17/83 - 1/21/83 - Ooh, daytime was poppin' the week I was born

I mean, for gosh sakes, Suzanne Rogers was like one of the only castmembers that appeared in Deidre Hall's epic made-for-TV movie, "Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story" Starring Deidre Hall. We need a movie follow up!

Perhaps they should do what General Hospital has been doing these past few years and make everyone blurry. (Seriously though, it is SO jarring to me to see that airbrushed blurriness whenever I check out GH; I keep thinking there's something wrong with my eyes)

Yeah, they were involved in real life, but I'm surprised they never dipped their toes into a potential Shawn/Chloe pairing....

RJ is starting to give me Aly vibes when she began to go off the deep end, wearing long Amish dresses and preaching about Hope's virtues... In the world of B&B, the George Floyd era is over, so Zende and Paris are yesterday's news. Carter will eventually be just a wedding officiant again... I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but we've seen this sort of scenario play out on B&B.... Meanwhile, didn't Rena Sofer leave the show a full year ago and she's still in the opening credits?

And all those patterns... oy. The same eyesore was happening over at Hope's "house" (i.e. room) in an effort to have some sort of semblance to her actual house from years ago. I swear a blind person must be decorating these sets.

As I was going through late '81 and early '82, I actually forgot we were about to see the network switch for SFT. It really is a shame CBS dropped it, considering it was still in the middle of the pack, beating all of NBC and 1, sometimes 2 (Ryan's Hope) ABC shows.

Whoo hoo! I just got my email notice that our tour date is Feb. 1st!

Not just in Iceland; Salemites evidently have no clue how to hang drapery properly or buy the right length. Everyone's curtains are crumpled up at the floor. I think the only drapery tailored to the right length are John & Marlena's.

He was the Josh Taylor of Guiding Light.

If it's any consolation, I'm sure by next year, Rolf will have implanted Victor's memories into someone else. Probably whomever Robert Scott Wilson is playing that week.

Perchance do you have the daily ratings for this week?

Heather: "You think I look inbred?" Mary: "I do." DEAD. LOL Looks messy, but a good messy and I hope they turn things around from last season. Side note: This new Housewives trend of the last few years of having constant costume parties needs to be toned down. All the ridiculous wigs, bonnets, beards etc. is a bit overkill.

Side note about the Victor / Brady relationship - Why is it strained? They made mention of it last week. I can't remember where they last left off.

Low res image of the new SLC cast.... Angie K is now a castmember; I don't know who the other woman is.

Oh yeah, for sure Porsha didn't catch on for me until the epic 10th season (with a spectacular reunion performance), right after her disastrous year on season 9 which could have gotten her the boot. I liked Eva; I didn't have a problem with her like others did. She shined on RHUGT2. And we'll get one more run with her on the Morocco UGT. Otherwise, if she's happier off the show, good for her then.

The same what I think when I see Chad & Stephanie's new pad. That cramped lil living room/kitchen area is like a studio or a 1 bedroom with lousy square footage. To think two spunky lil kids also live there? C'mon... I hate that Paulina has no windows. I get that they're supposed to be on the "4th wall," but they've gotten lazy at using strategic lighting to convey light shining in through a window. And... what I have complained about now for YEARS... they need to crank up the ambient outdoor noise! Let's hear that air, that wind, crickets, birds, traffic going by, etc. etc. etc. And someone please set up an oscillating fan so that those plastic leaves and trees show some sort of life to them. And while we're talking about the overall cheapness, I swear they recycle the same five background extras and just put them in various wigs, toupees, and thick-rimmed glasses. End of rant.

Aw, does this meaning no more rooftop shirtless gym scenes with Liam and Finn? The bromance is over...
