This is such a lovely set of scenes, summarizing Jo's life in Henderson through the campaign ad (also a way to showcase her life to new viewers), seeing her friends praise her in the ad. Then showing them reacting to her ad, Jo reacting to her ad. Stephanie making annoyed faces and little digs, which is so realistic for what you do when someone you can't stand is being feted. And I suppose this is also tied to the impending end of her marriage.
Seeing little Suzi praising Jo reminds me of how in Jo's final story, when she was kidnapped by Ann Flood, she flashed back to an emotional scene she'd had with Suzi. I still don't know why they thought they needed to kill Suzi off.
I was going through some of that kidnapping story and it's much more violent than I had expected - Ann pushing Stu down scaffolding, Jo punching Ann and holding her at gunpoint, Ann jumping off scaffolding, Jo getting knocked out, etc. They played it well, but who was asking to see Jo and Stu in a Charles Bronson movie?
This is another gorgeous scene. Jo and Stu truly had one of the best friendships ever on soaps. And the scene is over 6 minutes long! What a lost world.
I wish this channel had shared more content.
