The only way I'd have found this kind of rush acceptable is, again, on the 30-minute Prospect Park online start-ups, where they were experimenting with their pacing and story speed in very different ways on both shows and where they were having growing pains. DAYS is in its 50th anniversary on a network, there's no excuse for this. At least the material was solid and the performances great.

Maybe they decided to celebrate 50 by going Inside the Light.

I'm laughing, but also, they could've done something like that. Do an episode that spans a few days or weeks. Play with and break the form. For as strong as the past two episodes were, scene-, dialogue-, and acting-wise (errr, Ciara aside), they should've found a way to make the pacing and outlining match. It's absolutely bonkers that Hope has had two husbands drop dead in under 24 hours!

Which reminds me: Carl never did give us a wrap-up on his take on AMC and OLTL! Don't think I forgot, Carl!

I don't think I ever saw the end of AMC...

 

Anyway, I saw this.

Unacceptable! I think they're all on YT now.

They even had Ciara mention the 24 hour thing yesterday, like they're impressed with themselves for it.

 

In 24 hours ... Hope gets married. Hope makes love to her husband. Hope's husband tries to kill her for her money (which I now know started as 250,000 in 1983). Hope dies for a minute. Hope's ex husband murders her current husband. Hope's alive, admitted and discharged from hospital. Hope has PTS. Bo reunited with the family. Bo goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with an inoperable tumor. Hope makes love to her ex-husband. Bo decides to leave Hope to Rafe in his will. Bo gets farewell party. Bo says goodbye to all the family. Hope's ex husband dies on her lips.

 

In agreement, they should have definitely taken out the coins for TICML. This was no buy 3 get 2 free bin moment (no offense to Kelly).

Even Brain tumors can kill someone and fast I wasnt expecting Bo to Die today.. I thought we had him thru 2015.

Been watching some Bo/Hope montages for the past hour.   

 

This one has my all time favourite Bo/Hope scene - the puzzle box scene (I can't find the full scenes on youtube. If anyone knows where I can see it, please let me know).

 

Montage/Clip in spoiler tag:

 

 

 

 

This is another good montage:

This has some of the clip at the end, Toups. I thought it was kind of insensitive of Julie to mention COD like it was such a fun time.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, didn't Hope DIE (well, "die") on the Cruise of Deception?! 

KA renewed her contract...KA re-signs with Days of Our Lives

Wait Bo "willed" Hope to Rafe? WTF!

I'd think if Higley was jonesing for big Rafe airtime it would be with someone beyond Hope, given that Hope hasn't really been a major character for quite a long while until recently, but who knows. I don't see this Rafe/Hope stuff lasting longterm though. It all feels slapped together.

Rafe/Hope was originally TomSell. Corday teased Rafe falling for somebody unexpected back in January and that was Hope. 

Full scene at the beginning of this, Toups. I knew I had seen it recently. I got to qualify it as one of their best, as well, because that was my first time seeing them together and was like s--t, they're magnificent.
