Listen, I would be happy if Johnny did anything besides offer Gabi cherry chocolates and turn crosses upside down..

But legitimately Marlena is a goldmine for podcasts.  Kidnapping, Possession, rape, affairs, death, not knowing your husband isn't your husband. GOLD

I really have to wonder about anyone who would enjoy cherry chocolates.  Those things are so sickly sweet to me, lol.

Forget the podcasts.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present: "Marlena: the Miniseries."

(And, if Ron Carlivati were writing, it would star former "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" actor Deidre Hall.  Which, yes, would mean Dee would be playing herself, lol.)

And just imagine the hilarity that would ensue as "Dee's good buddy," actor Wayne Northrop -- "y'know, the guy that played the limo driver on 'Dynasty'?" -- is cast to play "Roman," and he follows the real Roman around Salem, learning all he can about the guy?

Of course, John wouldn't be able to stand who gets cast to play him, because he still remembered when he played the dad on that "godawful sitcom" with Sandy Duncan "and that Bateman kid."  ("Do you HEAR the way he talks!?  Tell me, Doc, do I sound like that when I talk?")

I would legitimately enjoy that way too much.  It's more entertaining than Abby playing Marlena and this dumb movie with local non-actors starring as leads lol.  If Ron's going to be tongue in cheek like this or whatever he thinks he's doing, at least do it with enjoyable characters.

But wait!  There's more!

"Deidre" becomes jealous when Marlena does such a good job as her stand-in for the Marlena/Samantha scenes that the director of "Marlena: the Miniseries" wants to replace her with Doc herself!  Seeing a golden opportunity to stretch herself artistically slip through her soap diva fingers, "Deidre" (in quotes, because even though Dee's essentially playing herself, she's really an exaggerated version of herself) gets inspired by the script (and Marlena's own life story), stashes Marlena some place, and proceeds to impersonate Marlena and enlists none other than Hattie to play "Deidre."  So, now you've got Dee playing "Deidre," and Marlena, and Hattie, and "Deidre" AS Marlena (and Samantha in the movie), and Hattie AS "Deidre."

If that doesn't get her ass the Emmy, nothing will!

If this doesn't make me wish they threw an emmy at Deidre in the 80's nothing will..

  DH is barely grasping Marlena these days-I can't take her playing multiple characters.  I actually watched the Deirde Hall Story: Never Say Never.  I am not fully convinced she could play herself.   Lol!  I love Marlena more than anyone, but no.  Ron would do this to them, but only show it like once every 2 weeks on screen so we couldn't even follow along.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
