I just watched Thursday's US episode (Canada's Wenesday episode) and John's funeral is the BEST soap funeral I have ever seen. Words cannot describe the level of acting, emotion, production and casting this show brings to a vetern character's funeral. Truly Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't cried this much watching an episode since Stone died on GH. The acting was amazing, the dialog was amazing and everything was just filled with emotion.

Any time John & Marlena were in the same frame it made me cry. Whether you like John or not, no one can deny the chemistry and love between John & Marlena. They are probably the best couple to ever exist on a soap. Their love had stood the test of time and as a fan and has been an exciting ride to follow in my young 21 years on this earth.

I am angry that I've been robbed of the chance to see them over the past year the way they should have been...front and center. But I'll embrace the time I did have with them. Remember the good times and the bad, and reflect on how lucky I was to have been part of many to follow their amazing love story.

The only part of the episode that I didn't like was anything involving the younger set. IMO, more respect should have been shown. Hell, fill those scenes with flashbacks of John & Marlena for all I care.

***k the younger set. They will never be able to create the same kind of emotional connection w/ their fans the way the other characters have. Damn it....

They kind of brought the whole cast out today, which was nice, and it was nice they sort of connected the John storyline with the teen stuff, but overall the sorority house was such an intrusion. The Nick/Jeremy/Maggie stuff was at least more serious so it wasn't as jarring. Still, I wouldn'tve minded if all of today was at the hospital. Yay Maggie, yay Kate, it was good seeing them (I agree it'd be nice if Maggie was there for Marlena).

Martha and Joe are my MVP's of the day, though just about everyone at the hospital was doing well (was not feeling Ali though).

Sad day, touching last moments for the DH's. They should have had more material coming in to this. It'd only be fair that Dee gets something substantial coming out of it. Farewell John Black!

    • 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.
