I don't think Elizabeth is dead...there simply has been no mention of her. I thought that instead of Alex, Joan Collins should have played a returning Elizabeth, pissed off and hellbent on kicking Alan's ass, saving Phillip and helping teenage Lizzie.

Jackie died in a plane crash before Phillip learned the truth. I've been told Elizabeth died offscreen around the time Beth and Phillip married before they left town. When Phillip 'died' in 2004, his obituary said he was the son of 'the late Elizabeth Spaulding.' I thought Kriezman had killed her, but I was told she had been killed off by either Long or Nancy Curlee and crew.

I recall Jackie's death. Probably the last time I was shocked by a character's "out of the blue" death. I checked SOC, and they said that Alan had mentioned her living in Europe at the time of Phillip's death. Not that they're more accurate than anyone else, but I thought at one time (during a Spaulding board fight, I think) they mentioned her. At least I learned where "Granville" came from--apparently it was Elizabeth's maiden name.

As for today's eppy...I don't get it. If Alan is a match for Phillip, and James is a match, and James was a match for Lizzie, wouldn't that mean there are THREE potential donors for Phillip? Thereby allowing all of them to donate some marrow, and lessening the risk for all the donors?

And although I think Frank's a tool---I feel sorry for him, being ganged up on by the two selfish lesbians. Okay, one selfish lesbian--Natalia--who's bound and determined to involve O in any way, shape or form. O just comes off as needy and willing to lap up any attention she gets from Natalia.

YEAH---I SAID IT---LESBIANS CAN BE SELFISH TOO.

I want them to name this kid for Nadine. Deenie, Deana, something that honors the history of this show.

Amazingly, I found Jonathan tolerable today. I just want him to give Lizzie her baby back. I've always thought it was CRAP that he got to take Sarah away from her.

A few thoughts on today...

- I nearly pissed myself when Phillip said that this was Rick's first successful operation. I mean, how many people have died at the hands of Dr. Death? Too many to count over the years. I also had to chuckle when James showed Alan how to work the iphone applications.

- As such, I enjoyed pretty much all the Spaulding interaction and I liked how the news spread throughout the town that they were both okay.

- I found out something interesting: Ashlee and Rafe aren't all that bad with the volume muted and the closed captioning on. And I tolerated Jonathan too today, probably because he wasn't trying to pull his hair out, screaming from the top of his lungs or trying to straddle everything.

- Speaking of which, I enjoyed seeing Lizzie get to see Sarah again. I like that Lizzie has matured and has become really a bedrock of sanity for the family. Who would have thought that under Crystal Hunt? And I liked that the writers remembered the connection between Jon and Olivia.

- I think I could watch Josh and Reva banter like they have been all day. I know many (including me) haven't been happy with the writing for these two, but seeing them like they were today makes me think that they are already reunited.

- I do somewhat like Otalia, but I will never know why Olivia had to become a watered down whiner for the pairing to work.

-Shallow note: Doris looked really pretty today.

- I like that Billy was there even though he really served no purpose today.

I watched really for the purpose of seeing Lizzie and Sarah, and that did not disappoint. Marcy really made this role her own, and I'm glad they gave her that moment.

Did Olivia not say yesterday they were taking it slow and Natalia said they are on different pages? But yet today happy U-Haul lesbian moving in--seems like nothing but bady, lazy writers filling in the story with lesbian stereotypes--without the actually being lesbians part.

I'll never know why this because acceptable storytelling for a lot of people.

Wish GL would have given more Edmund - then a minute a week - if GL thought they were going to make look St. jeff look like a hero going after Eddie - it really failed - jeff has looked foolish and stupid with his plans for Edmund again and again - like keep hiring Roc to take care of Edmund when he was no match for Eddie - also can not believe jeff is a agent - he doesn't know how to use a gun and he couldn't hit the side of a barn - no wonder Eddie makes fun of him - however I still wish GL would have let Edmund be with grandson B4 GL goes off and it would better if GL wasn't going off and being replace with loud tacky game show with clam people.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
