Rafe loves Hope and Bo sees it? I CANT. She JUST got two nights ago and is already in bed with Bo. Now he's dying and Bo is trying to put her with Rafe. WTF?!?

 

I like the boy playing Theo. He did good in his scenes today. He literally just met Lani though 2 days ago and they are already trying to act like they are close. They should have been interacting together for weeks before this reveal so that his hurt would actually mean something

 

Steve and Kayla.......Zzzzzzz....

 

I didnt like how disrespectful Joey was with Caroline today. How dare he say hell to her

I thought the Joey/Caroline stuff was hilarious and felt very real. First her scolding him for saying "hell," and then when he suggested she close the Pub for a day, Caroline gasped and goes, "Go wash your mouth out with soap!"

 

This Bo/Rafe crap is INSANE. He should be going to Steve, or Kayla, or Marlena, or John, or Julie, or Maggie, or Jennifer, or almost literally anyone else (besides Daniel) before Rafe. Bo literally got in his last f*ck and then ran off to line up her next man. Also, isn't it still the DAY AFTER Hope's wedding? Another night might have passed in there, but I'm not sure where it would've been.

 

I'm honestly not minding the teens. Maybe just because it feels like a fresh breath after the onslaught of the three storylines we have right now (the intertwined Bo/Hope and Steve/Kayla stuff, and then the Abigail/Ben/Chad) -- even though they're stiff, I like the potential for new stuff that's related to old, familiar people and stories. Joey is getting better. The Theo actor is playing his awkwardness well. I still don't have a damned clue what the point of Lani is, though...

Like I said, it's so [!@#$%^&*] rushed. They had Reckell for months til now and I'm sure they could've even gotten him for longer. These stories don't and shouldn't be this slapdash on a 50-year-old soap in its golden anniversary year. There was a story to tell with Bo's return and death if you absolutely had to do it, but not in a matter of a week and a half on the heels of the death of Hope's last husband (and the nomination of her next).

 

It's still a reasonably engaging show with a lot of good performances, scenes, moments and some larger stories. It's just so ridiculously paced and bogged down in lazy DAYS house style choices on every level.

 

Ciara remains unbearable and her voice reminds me of Stan's sister on South Park.

Theo is the best of the new batch of SORAS victims. Cute with a natural charisma. The kid playing Ciara is stilted. It's possible that she's just incredibly nervous and will get better. I did chuckle during that first not-Hope Jr, not-Abe Jr and is that not-Steve Jr (?) scene on today's episode. They all stilted for a minute there. [Theo is supposed to be stilted.]

 

The Bo handing Hope's vagina down to Rafe in his will stuff is a nah as the kids say today, as Michael posted above the sensible "before Rafe" list is very long. IMO, writing it this bizarre way actually hurts any potential R/H had because it is creepy. Hopefully they now drop this for the duration, and I'll cross my fingers somebody decided to go for Rafe with that cop chick he was talking to at the beginning of this episode by the time duration is complete.

 

Hope's next love interest needs to be a bad boy who takes a not so bad boy turn, not a sweet plain guy (who will eventually turn into a murderer). A character/story somewhere in the vein/range of Jude/Hope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv1E3IX5k0c and/or Steve/Hope https://youtu.be/YHrAEzcU7DY?t=3m35s

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
