I downloaded Halloween Ends and converted it to HEVC, but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. I'm kinda skimming it over and these were the only screenshots I could take, lol!

As a big Halloween fan (the original) I can say..its sucks.  FF the whole thing and go to the last 20 minutes which is how they should have ended the 2018 reboot and left it at that.

Why anyone in Haddonfield would celebrate Halloween, and not just lock their doors and wait for Nov. 1st....

Oh boy! This was a good episode. 

 

Holly/Roger/Mindy/Alex/Fletcher/Chelsea--boy that is some love sexagon. 

 

I did not know that they were teasing Fletcher/Chelsea. Did it go any further? If it did, I am interested to see how Maureen reacts as Fletcher carried a torch for her for the longest. 

 

Roger and Holly... my forbidden fruit. My favorite soap couple that didn't get the ending they deserved. So chaotic and self-destructive individually and together. When Roger uttered the breakdown of their relationship, "She loved me once and it's a thin line (between love and hate)..." it sent chills down my spine. I watch these 2 go on and on. 

 

Poor Billy. I do love that Ed was used to provide counsel with his alcoholism.

@RavenWhitney Robert Calhoun was EP until July 1991. Pamela Long was HW until December 1990.

The EP/HW teams in the first half of the 1990s were Calhoun/Long June 1989 to December 1990, Calhoun/Nancy Curlee January 1991 to July 1991, JFP/Curlee July 1991 to March 1994. I don't know who the HW was for the remainder of JFP's run (March 1994 to May 1995) as I didn't watch those episodes.

What would you have done with them?

GL late 80s EPs:

Joe Willmore 1986-1989

Robert Calhoun 1989-1991

JFP 1991-1995

Michael Laibson 1995-1996

Paul Rauch 1996-2002

John Conboy 2002-2004

Ellen Wheeler 2004-2009

HW: Curlee/Demorest/Reilly were co-HWs & they thought they were gonna mess with their heads because they wrote so differently, so they joined together to present a united front. When Curlee & Demorest left it was because she was pregnant. They wanted to come back but she got pregnant again. So, time has gone by & he's writing with another partner, books, I think, and she misses the collegiality of writing serial drama with other writers.

GL HW 1995-1996 Megan McTavish

GL HW 1996-1997 Victor Miller, Michael Conforti, Nancy Williams Watt

GL HW 1997-1998 James Harmon Brown & Barbara Esensten (RIP)

    • I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode.  It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death. I want to point out the EJ scene.  I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him.  It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).  EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning).  And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter.
    • -- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh??? -- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af. -- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas. -- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept. -- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.  
    • Your welcome! Will never understand the point of Budig! I forget she’s there 95% of the time and Thudley does too! 
    • I do think Zane could have been a decent long-term addition if they hadn't disposed of him - up to Lucas' arrival, at least.
    • It is 4 feet!!! https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Today, GH, I am amazed. #1 Up from #2 on Saturday, which was up from #4 during the week last week.

    • If he was responsible for Egyptian dust, you should have led with that! That one thing cinches it for me.
    • I would consider recasting Nikolas again just for the sake of those around him, but you may be right.
    • Watched Mondays episode, wow! That’s all I have to say. It was heartbreaking to watch. You really don’t know how invested you are in these characters until moments like this. Deidre was absolutely phenomenal in that whole episode, as I am sure she will be in the coming weeks. I was a bit torn about having Bo and Hope being the contrast in this episode, but I understand why they did it. And when Bo woke up and said fancy face to Hope, it broke me even more! Honestly, there are no more words except bravo to everyone involved and RIP to the greatest hero that ever existed in soaps John Black

    • Watching this longer clip I truly am impressed with the effects but also the direction - the moments of fear in the ballroom before the blast are wonderful. What I appreciate most here is the lack of a montage and the lack of aggressive editing.  This all looks better than quite a bit you could find elsewhere at the time, let alone now. Julia should have avoided weddings.
    • I hope somewhere in the fictional universe, Sami called Vivian to tell her about John. They just shared an Uber to the airport, so I assume they have each other's contact info (no matter the universe, they both probably only have 3

      ).  And, Vivian always treated John like a nephew.
