Just like when Marie reminded everyone (via text to Julie) at Aidan and Hope's wedding how she was planning her own wedding fifty years ago on that same date.  Everyone was all, "D'Awwwwww, how sweet!" but I was like, "WTF?!"

 

Odd, yes, but also fitting, if you ask me.  I'd much rather remember the DAYS of the '80's over that trash.

100% Khan. 100%. Honestly, I honestly only enjoyed DAYS for the first year I watched in full, 1995-1996. 1997 - 2003, I was hanging on purely due to addiction. Higley, oddly enough, was the straw that broke the camels back for me with the show in 2003. Make no mistake it was Reilly put most of the straw on that camels back though.

I had no idea Bo was dying today.   He was given weeks to live I thought, and I assumed there would be a long, slow goodbye.  No wedding, no bittersweet holidays, it was just "Hello, I must be going".   That said, I thought KA and PR did nice work today and I am glad the other stories were dropped for the day.  I am just trying to picture myself if I were Shawn, Hope or Ciara, and it was "Hi, I'm home!" and then tomorrow they were dead.  And poor Caroline.  I also am a bit flummoxed that it has only been one day since he got home, and all these things, hospitalizing Hope, released, then he got sick, then he got tests and the results back, he had time to visit Victor, Jennifer managed to visit not once but twice, Kayla's son got drugged and released, Chad got a visit from Andre, released, went to Abigail's, went to Marlena, went to Rafe 2x, got hypnotized...and it all happened in a day.

Just finished the episode.

 

Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell were great. Whatever chemistry they didn't have at points in their run together on DAYS never came through onscreen. It was one of the most believable, moving, romantic pairings in daytime.

 

Bo's return and death went incredibly fast and maybe that was not a good decision - or maybe it will be. The scenes themselves were excellent and I found it to be a satisfying ending to Bo and Hope. At least now fans of the couple have closure - they had a happily ever after ending that ended far too quickly, but otherwise it was true to them, Bo got to save his Fancy Face one last time.

Perfection, Toups, besides for that JimReillyJr stamp ;) Thank you.

 

Vee, as much as I enjoy them together, they got to stop making death mean nothing on this show. It's weird, though, the show has a lot of us wishing for more even though they did a helluva lot mess in 24 hours. I wish they had done the story different (sans kidnapping and crazy Aidan) and given them more time (Thanksgiving, maybe Christmas too) before this part came, definitely.

 

Something else about today's show, it was weird they sandwiched a bunch of Bo/Hope make out scenes between Steve and Kayla like they were flashing back to it. That said, it would be nice if they let Steve and Kayla be Hope's main support system (instead of the man Bo gave Hope to in his verbal will). Having watched like 50-65% of the Bo/Hope stuff from the 1980s so far on YouTube, that makes an incredible amount sense. Steve and Hope were genuinely really good friends once they got to know each other better and he stopped wrestling with her for "a date" every-time they met up and the Brady family connection goes without saying.

    • 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.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • 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.
