Wow! Did not know about the Penthouse/Doug's Place connection! Interesting, considering Julie was the first to live in it...

And yeah, the DiMera Mansion was Kim and Shane's place, modelled after his childhood home in England.

Well, then... they better be bringing back "Doug's Place" permanently! In that case, the set wasn't really sold to "Soapstar," sweet! That is, of course, only if they're actually bringing "Doug's Place" back for good.

I totally forgot about Stefano's early fascination with Julie. I hope they touch on that!

And LMAO @ your "Julie will be annoying as ever" line. You either love her or hate her... there's no real in between!

Doug and Julie were my first supercouple, and I'm beyond excited to hear DP is going to play into this storyline. I have such vivid memories of those days and D/J, although written a little over the top the last few years, remain two of my all time favorites. Now I'm wondering what other wonderful surprises may be waiting for us. That's why I like these vague previews--anticipation!

I actually recall hearing that once. I remember a flashback being shown in 2001 from Bo and Hope's early early years, and it showed them dancing on a set that looked very similar to the Penthouse, and then I later heard that the Penthouse and Doug's Place were one and the same, and I immediately remembered the Bope flashback where they were dancing in the set that looked like the Penthouse.

I think it's true.

As was mentioned above, way back in his early years on the show, Stefano was fascinated with none other than Julie Horton -- much the same way he became fascinated/obsessed with Marlena Evans. Perhaps they'll touch on that, and maybe that's why there's a clue in the tunnels under "Doug's Place" -- some of it ties to Julie Horton? Then again, why would Julie -- a Horton-- have anything to do with the Brady/DiMera feud? LoL

Hmm... so it seems the set will be quite important if they are getting rid of the penthouse. Now I'm intrigued. See, it doesn't take a whole lot of spoilers to make me happy. All it takes are a few small, intriguing spoilers; a little something to show the writers are at least putting some thought into it.

First, Julie never went by Horton legally, accept in the 90's. Her name was Olson LoL. Though she used Horton in the first episode, so they'll call Tom and Alice, and not her parents when she got in trouble with the police for shoplifting. But sorry, the Julie Horton aspect was grating on my nerves. I'm so OCD.

It's not like the Bradys haven't always been conencted to the Hortons. Marriages aside, they were introduced as their neighbors and friends. Brady/Horton picnics, anyone? Plus, the DiMeras have made nearly as many indiscretions against the Hortons - Melaswen aside. He became obsessed with Maggie, too, in the 80's, and had Mickey removed. Only Maggie started to move on with Don. And not only that, Doug and Julie were heavily involved with the 80's DiMera vs. Brady stuff, at least to enough of an extent to make their presence plausible.

I likes it!

Oh my God, you're right!

Well, either way, what would Julie have to do with the Brady/DiMera feud? I'd like for them to touch on Stefano's little fascination with her, though... somehow. I know that the DiMeras have screwed with other families over the years (like Jack/Jennifer, and using their involvement with Peter as an excuse is a copout since he's never mentioned), but it's always billed as SOLELY a Brady/DiMera family feud. That's always annoyed me, but that's how they sell it, even if it's never played as such.

    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
