Contessa Donatella

Fun indeed! Why did they put that pair on contract? Any chance you know?

I cannot believe that we are chasing down belongings of Peter's. Is there no way we will ever be rid of him?! And I further cannot believe that this is a project being undertaken by Britt & Cody Bell! Why is she in the same room with him? But far more important than that, OMG, Lucy Coe has just been shot, twice! I was confused about where she was. Is she on Pier 47? Cause that is where Anna is headed. So, would you say that Lucy definitely knew her shooter? Seemed so to me. I feel like heresy has been committed! This is not being upside down in her drawers at the NB! Poor Lucy & Dam* Victor. I knew she was in danger. I just knew it. And, what game was he playing with Ava? I will say one thing for Charles Shaughnessey (sp?) & that is that I've completely forgotten him as Shane & Andrew Donovan. I loved Shane, hated Andrew & now I just hate Victor. Much simpler. Anyone know when we will see Martin again? I miss him.

Interesting Take. Roman & Kate have different & separate existences; Abe & Paulina do; Steve & Kayla do; Rafe & Nicole do; Brady & Chloe had different & together & they don't count now; Jada & Eric have different & separate but they're too young to count; Ava was with different people & never seemed to have an occupation or activity after she gave up ruling the mob family. And that always seemed a dilemma to me about Ava. Chad & Abby had their own things & they don't count now either. Will & Sonny definitely have different & apart. Hard to draw any conclusion about Victor & Maggie these days since he seems to be more needy than he ever used to be. I honestly don't know what Bonnie does with herself. But, Justin's job is separate.

How old is Rachel? I've got 7 in my head but I'm not sure I have a basis for that. Do we really have the potential makings of a "Bad Seed" in the middle of that DiMera/Black custody battle? The judge didn't interview Rachel so she can't be too old! Personally I believe that most kids want their parents to get back together so badly that they would pull a stunt like this. But I also believe someone ought to be banking some money for therapy sooner instead of later. Good for Kate!

Great! I hope this is even more sign of momentum for Liz's story!!

Just happened to snag this the other day & it's just SUCH a good picture of each of them & then they're together, too. Might say these were better "Days".

I understand & you are 100% correct. He is 30-something probably, like 34, going on 13 maturation!

Oh yeah I knew what you meant. Just giggling at the *other meaning. Well, that makes sense, more sense than them all being 25. Will is after all her big brother. And he & Sonny are both nicely mature. I'm not gonna say Alex is mature. Those words will not pass here but heck he could be 30, sure.

#OnThisDay on Oct. 18, 1996, Felicia and Cass left Wallingford’s for the last time #AW #AnotherWorld So sad losing Wally! Brent was so good for AW!!

Sure, they could do that. She could have something come up where she needed to home school one of the kids & completely change around her whole deal. I'm afraid people would still bring up the days of the fashionista but you can't get soap fans to let loose of something they don't wanna! Most people would follow the new story. I remember reading an interview with her where because of brain surgery she hadn't been able to wash her hair & nobody could have been more preoccupied with NOT washing ones' hair if they tried. And, being uncomfortable with a dirty head of hair is practically universally understood. But, she was all upset, nervous, saying too much, etc. You can't help but feel for her with the health problems she's had. It is a mess though & someone should address it.

No, the BS fictional universe & the mother ship fictional universe are not even aligned, it's true. So, I'll just have to take your reply for being amusing as it is. I think I just want to have a better Kristen & am sick & tired of the one we have. And I don't do RH so I have to let others get those jollies. SH's Kristen could be killed by the GH Hook & I'd be good with it.

WOW. I thought you were gonna quit! What changed your mind? I don't think I know enough about it to judge it yet. Why have they told us this tiny amount about it & then left it without follow up?!! I can't stand Sloan. Tripp, Joey, Allie, Chanel, Will, Sonny, Alex, aren't they all around 25? Hooray! I thought I was holding down this Minority Position by myself. Now, that is a Majority position, right? People just think he's pretty? I can't remember more than about 2 days at a time. What happened Friday? I think the ladies have done a good job being terminally ill. And their guys have done a good job being frustrated. And I am particularly proud of Josh Taylor who usually just seems like a bump on a log. Maybe it was just time for them to give him something to do besides wipe down a bar. Steve's been good & Drake has been present. I loved his getting to kill that fancy orchid! I really wish they would take a long hard look at their writing philosophy, but the fact that they won both writing awards last year virtually guarantees that they will not. They won the WGA & the Emmy, you know that means they think they are doing fine. But, when it comes time to write standard relationship, family, problem solving, good dialogue & stop horsing around & they just do it right. It's so frustrating that they CAN do better & choose to write junk, cheap, lazy, OTT stuff instead.

Bolding mine. I love this line. It made me laugh out loud. John has been given so many identities that it's funny that he ends up without much to show for it! Poor guy, he & Tony & Andre' are the products of too much retconning! I think Burton used to be good. I have no idea if he still has acting chops hidden under there. What acting ability he gets to use could just be called "bad habits".

Days Tu., 10-18 Day 27 at Peacock Today's Cast: Kayla, Kate, Marlena, Steve, Roman, John, Rex, Tripp, Chad, Stephanie, Joey, Kristen, Chloe, Brady Kayla wears a bracelet that was Caroline's & she wants to give it to Stephanie right now. Kate's on the phone to Austin. Tells him not to come. Kristen's given the police enough serum for the first dose for all three. Brady's up! Marlena's heart starts racing & she can't catch her breath. All worry. Kristen watches. She's given the cops enough serum for first dose. Brady's turn next. Dr Patel expects this. All of a sudden, Marlena's breathing goes normal. She laughs. Says she can feel it working. Buzzer stops going off. Brady had lied about who was on the phone. The lies are gonna make a tall stack. Rex is cautiously optimistic. Brady &r Chloe exchange I love yous. Kristen is nonstop lurker now. Okay, everyone is optimistic. Marlena obviously feels better. Need somebody to take the dose to next, Kayla? Kate's alone. Knock. Chaad! So good to see you. Kayla fading fast. Roman enters all excited about Mrlena news when Kayla just fades away. Seemed to say MA. Then Kayla's machine goes nuts & starts beeping a long flat line. No heartbeat. Not breathing. Everyone holding their breath. Eelectro shock! Kayla still seems out of it. Rex we've found a treatment. Kayla still seems to be talking to her mother. We've gotta go give a dose to Kate. Brady turns on TV to news & everyone jumps on him. Let's go taken this does to Kayla. 's go give it to Kayla. Kayla comes back to them & says Kate says come on she's ready for them. Rex heads out door. They put the bracelet back on Kay's arm. God is all forgiving. Kristen still lurking. Brady & Chloe by themselves by nurses' station. He says they can't go on this way. He loves her but he loves Rachel too. Didn't want it to

Saw this & thought someone might be interested in it. Not I.

You didn't think ED was playing Original Recipe in Beyond Salem?

Yabbut, when she was on DOOL, she completely looked like a different person. She was younger, thinner, perkier & her hair never looked bad.

I have this book. Refer to it often. Quote from it. Paraphrase it. E-mail her on occasion. Met her once. Swear by the book. The poor thing has actually come apart at the binding & is in 3 pieces. My favorite quote is: "For soap opera, the past always matters, bearing upon the present and shaping the future." - E. Levine (HER STORIES, 3)

🤣🤣🤣 Great lline!

Maybe I was the only one who watched, or maybe thinking about changes to the environment here at SON was too much to think about, or maybe Idunnowhat but I for one thought the show was great today. Even though I still wish that they would not divide & conquer us. Ya know, we saw Marlena but not Kate or Kay. SIGH. But they did a good job of bringing on the impending doom. I keep thinking these numbnuts in charge could actually kill off a beloved veteran just to get us to take them seriously! Marlena's been out cold a lot of the time. John very nearly destroyed what we know is the magic elixir. I am lately reminded that Brady is as dumb as your basic doorknob but he did a good job of talking to his dad. He's gonna have hell to pay at some point when it all comes out what he knew & how he knew it. Meanwhile his brain is going to be flashback city, newly zoned for last minute construction. He is flashing back to things Kristen said to him no more than 20 minutes ago! Insta-Flashback, just add 20 minutes. I have to say it. I was a little let down with the fight between Rafe & Nicole. There was no sign that she took Rafe serious! She seemed offended. Not good. Ari got some good line readings in: What did I hear you just say? Am I now to think I have to have your approval to show someone that I care for them? Rafe was good. He suggested that a pat on the back was sufficient! Can't blame him, there's no place for full body hugs with one's ex. Jada's gonna be on Brady like white on rice trying to figure out what he is up to. I'm okay with that. I just wish they'd hook her up with the Johnsons! Chloe was just so sincere & earnest in going to Kristen to call for a truce & imagine her describing them all as acting like civilized adults. At least it rattled Uber-Kristen's cage a bit.

Another World Memories #NBCAnotherWorld #OnThisDay Oct. 17, 1995, Carl had a dream of Ryan, furthering his suspicions of Grant being Ryan’s shooter. This episode was the last appearance of Paul Michael Valley as Ryan Harrison, ending a 5 year run. He would return in 1996 for a guest run as Ryan’s ghost #AW #AnotherWorld

DOOL Mon., Oct. 17, 2022, Day 26 on Peacock Cast today: Rex, Shawn, Kristen, Chloe, Eric, Nicole, John, Brady, Jada, Marlena, Rafe, Belle. Rex & Shawn have just searched some of Rolf's property, to no avail. Kristen opens her door & Chloe is standing there. What are you doing here? Chloe-This situation can't keep going the way it is. I am here to talk to you in the hopes that we can call a truce. Eric is trying to get off the phone with Sami. Nicole walks up, outside of the pub. I just talked to Chloe & I ended up here. Eric - Mom's not doing well. Neither are Kate or Kayla. But we do not know much. Mom is unconscious a lot now. Yesterday I married Kate & Dad. Kate looked so happy. Nicole - It is wonderful that they are grabbing any happiness they can while this is going on. This misery. They've been with each other & with other people & then end up together. Maybe they are each other's destiny. Back to Kristen & Chloe. Kristen- a truce? Chloe - we can act like civilized adults Kristen - but you ruined everything Chloe - I hoped we could talk, one mom to another. What is best for Rachel is for all of us to get along. Kristen- Don't you dare to presume to tell me what is right for my daughter. Chloe - but don't you see, Brady was prepared to give you shared custody until you put that note in Rachel's lunchbox that said I was to blame for everything. Kristen - I did not do that note. The scene changes to the hospital where John wants to destroy the vial because he is convinced it is poison. He says he got a note that morning that Orpheus was going to destroy Marlena & this must be his way. Brady - Dad, what if this is what we're been praying for? Jada, did you get a note at the police station? Jada explains that they did get a note, but it said that this was the serum that would save their lives John- Rolf said it couldn't be duplicated. Brady has a flashback to Kristen explaining about the seedlings, growing a new plant & formulating a serum. He is desperate to talk his dad out of destroying it but he can't explain how he knows. John - okay, let Rex do the lab check & compare. Nicole - Eric are we still friends? Eric - Of course we are. Nicole - You are always there for all of your friends. Let me be the one who is there for you. Jada & Brady - Who wrote the note? Brady has another flashback. Brady says Marlena is like a mother to me. Jada - Have you no doubts about his serum? Brady - oh tons of doubts but what if it is our only hope? Kristen - you changed the judges mind somehow Chloe - I sure did & I would do it again. She couldn't consider any of your actions before the pardon so I showed her tape of you attacking me with the letter opener & that was a new action. Marlena comes to & sees Shawn & beckons him & asks him if he will promise to take care of Belle for her. John says we're not gonna talk like that Doc because no one is giving up here. Rafe - well I hope that vial is the miracle that is needed so maybe I can stop finding you in Eric's arms! Nicole - What did you just say? Rafe - I'm plenty tired of finding you & Eric in an embrace. Kristen - Rachel hates you & is furious with Brady. I think if you want to help this situation that you should give Brady his freedom. Rex to John - Okay, it is a close match. Rafe - you could be a friend to Eric with a pat on the back. Nicole - that is unfair Nicole - are you saying I need an excuse to show someone that I care about them? Rafe - I'm saying I am tired of seeing you give him affection. Marlena says we should go ahead & try the serum on her, that she's volunteering but Eric if it does not go well, I'd like to have Last Rites.

WOW! I cannot wait. I am ready for GH to wow me.
