I saw this on YouTube the other day, but didn't watch it because I was like "who is this random extra"?

But now that I have seen it... WTF?! EJ is running for Mayor? Hahahahahah. This is killing me. I'd love it if EJ became the new Harper Deveraux and actually became scary instead of the whiny sniveling brat he is now. Also, I hope to God that Sami and Rafe et al. are NOWHERE near this storyline. He needs to do something aside from that group.

Well, this dude is never getting hired again as an extra. LOL

What a great idea to have EJ run for mayor! Sounds fun. Finally, EJ's not in a storyline that's all about his kids.

Alright, no more storyline spoilers for me from now on.

So, we are going to have to overlook everything has done as if it wouldnt be a scandal?

Im sorry, but there is no way in hell that everything he has done wouldnt be. Not in the world we live in. Sami brady herself could not only cripple, but crush his run.

I wonder if this is the big party, or have they said what it is?

This reminds me of when Grant Harrison ran for mayor on AW. It was presented as a wacky ha ha storyline and viewers weren't supposed to care about his past crimes.

I can't see EJ having a wacky ha ha story so I wonder how this will come across.

Wow, I didn't even know that Abe was the mayor (for all the good it does him story wise :rolleyes: ) I could care less about him but I'm thrilled Lexie will be caught in the middle of family drama. It's long overdue.

There is no such thing as a "leak" - this is a RELEASE. That week is HUGE for DAYS since it is the first one without AMC and when DH returns. DAYS is pulling out all the stops. Nice job by the publicity department. I'm all for whatever gets the audience back. And this time, make Marlena the serial killer for real!

Too bad NBC wouldn't take this opportunity to put some AD dollars into the show and go after the AMC viewers. They could have ads that say something about "why watch another reality show when you can watch daytime drama" or something similar. Promote Deidre's and Drake's returns.

    • 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.
