SPOILER WARNING FOR US VIEWERS!

Man I was gonna wait till tomorrow to post my comments, but I just couldn't wait.

If you thought Tuesday's episode was sad....Wednesday's will leave you in even worse shape.

This is of course the episode where John finally lets go and Marlena (and everyone) says goodbye to him.

Deidre Hall was AMAZING, especially in her final scene with John...it was so good because the emotion was SOOOOOOO real...SO heartfelt.

This is the sh*t emmy's were made for!!

I have felt drained all day because of the 2hrs i spent watching DAYS today.

If ever there was en episode for DAYS to not just be nominated for, but WIN the Drama Series emmy...this is it!

If only the voters would put aside their bias and voting for people within their network and vote based on the tapes in front of them. Err. Hopefully the critical praise will be to much for them to not actually watch and do their jobs next year.

It IS a great episode...I've already seen it as well. Deirdre Hall is excellent as are Martha Madison and Lauren Koslow (yes, at long last Ms Koslow got to ACT).

Deirdre Hall is actually quite powerful and subtle, she doesn't overblow her emotion at all. She's just powerful and raw and present in the final scene. It's really quite a realistic scene...as well, whoever arranged the heart rate machine did a fantastic job, that bit gave me chills (you'll understand what I mean when you see it!)

In a perfect world, DAYS so would win the 07-08 Emmy for Outstanding Drama simply for submitting this episode. The travesty that is this nomination process and stupid NBC for having one soap.

I can't wait for tomorrow! Koslow is on? Oh yeah I'm so gonna watch.

I'm guessing this episode will be a keeper. I couldn't rewind over today's episode so I think I'm gonna make this tape a DAYS best week ever tape.

One small glimmer of hope could be Y&R throwing some votes DAYS way because they are both Sony productions.

I should add that Peter Bergman told Martha Madison after this years Emmys that he really liked her work so that could help her, hopefully I know its a long shot.

MY GOD!

The dialouge is PHENOMINAL in those scenes....ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.

"You'll have your arms wide open, waiting.....I'll be there...You'll be taking care of me again (that line BROKE my heart)....sleep...I'll see you in forever", cue to John who dies right after she says these words to him.

This is one of Deidre Hall's finest moments IMO...she played it as realistically as you can get and for a soap that is normall overly melodramatic, it is quite a welcomed surprise.

Hogan is a GENIUS for this scene...this is the best written scene of DAYS I think I have ever watched.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
