You know what would be REALLY nice? If DAYS were to give JM a story that didn't involve any of that world-dominating craziness that we've come to expect from "the Phoenix." Instead, give us something good and relatable...like alcoholism.

After 30 years of world-dominating craziness, who'd really want to see The Phoenix battling something that's slice-of-life? Diabetes? Snooze. Alcoholism? Eh... you know he'd just end up locked up in some secret room by one of his enemies during a drunken stupor. Despite DAYS' piss-poor budget, I just can't (and actually, don't want to) fathom a relatable Stefano. If I step into his home, I fully expect his remote control to control a person's mood, not a TV. :)

"Joe Mascolo, who returns to Days on August 22nd, says it was always the plan for him to come back to the show."

Nice to see Joe corroborate what I said a few months ago! So much for the "insider" who said M&D killed him off for real.

Alcoholism for Stefano? No thanks, man. This Stefano Dimera fan wants him to always be a larger than life character and doesn't want to see him in "relatable" storylines. Give me world domination, and power hungry badass. I don't want to see Stefano in such a weak way. I already dislike people saying, "Stefano, did you drink your orange juice yet?" Come on. :)

Aside from the Rafe 2 crap last year, they really haven't done any world-dominating craziness with Stefano in recent years. He's mostly just been a sounding board to EJ, or happy husband with Kate and Nono with Giovanni. MarDar were bad but during the Alamania story I saw glimpses of the old Stefano.

    • 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.
