Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but the timeline of this show is truly driving me insane now.

 

Hope killed Stefano the morning after the Basic Black launch party. Everyone was up all night at the hospital, and Hope texted Rafe, who came over to talk, and then she blew off Steve when he tried to tell her about the accident. (Does she even know yet?!) She marched over to Stefano's way, way early in the morning -- Chad had earlier gotten him and Andre out of bed -- and shot him. She and Rafe dumped the body, then talked it over, then went to the police station. When she gave her statement, Justin specified that it's January 18th. But last night was New Year's Eve! I wouldn't care so much if they just wanted to keep everything vague, but it's hard not to notice when they make such a point of what day it is. And then Justin stated that it was 10:40 a.m. The teens already went to school and got out! Abe and Lani went to a movie! What is wrong with these assholes?

 

Oh, soap operas... That's what results when a major event happens on a specific holiday. 

 

I seem to recall a similar scenario when Bo & Hope got married on Christmas in 2000, and their wedding reception lasted well past New Years, and then Lexie and the gang discovered Marlo's dead corpse bobbing underneath the ice while iceskating in a nearby pond.... and then the next day, the Last Blast crew were back in school.

JER used to do that all the time. It would be Halloween night for 3 weeks then suddenly it was Thanksgiving then 3 weeks later it was Christmas!

So now John's mom is some random old woman....cool.

I know JER did that a lot on Passions. On DAYS, I remember in particular when John was sentenced to death in Aremid, his "last day" aired for a month and a half, from early Feb. 1996 to late March. In the same course of time, Kate managed to escape from a fishing boat, onto an island, into a crashing plane, hitching a ride to Salem and pop in on Victor & Vivian as they were about to do the deed. 

 

I don't even necessarily care if the days go on for a really long time, as long as the show preserves internal logic. But it would always drive me nuts on Passions and JER-era Days when people in one storyline would go to bed, be offscreen for a few days, and then like be going out to dinner on what was CLEARLY the same night, since folks in another storyline were in the same place having the same conversation they had been having when the first group went to bed! This is just as stupid.

Daniels still in the freezer, bo returned to Salem died and Barried and forgotten the next day come on get rid of Dena ASAP 

It is hard to keep up with the show as far as the timeline goes.

 

Ugh at Belle hoing around with Philip and being a bitch to Shawn.

 

Love Shawn and Claire

 

Greg Vaughan is doing great. Poor Eric. You dumbass. Too bad it's fauxRo because I like they're giving Roman his time with Eric. Although I wish Marlena had been in Roman's place at Hope's house and at the hospital with Eric. JMO.

 

Can Rafe and Hope go away on a vacation. For a very long time?

 

At least we finally got follow up with Jennifer, Chad and Abby. LOL at Chad and his excitement over Jennifer being so nice towards him. I'm glad Chabby are getting some happy time.

 

I like that Andre isn't dropping the Hope murdered Stefano thing.

 

LOL at John's "mom" (come on, no way she is) drugging him. Everything about this is so anti-climatic.

Me either. Hobag can go back to Maine and take the Mophead with her.

And when one story is clearly taking place during the day and another at night! 

JPL looked anorexic when he took his shirt off.  Dude needs to eat after he gets a haircut.

Is this even her material?

Jeez I wish they would just bury Daniel already

 

Is Daniel's heart possessing Brady or something?   How did he have Daniel's flashbacks?    I must have missed something, but isn't Shirley Jones the mother of John Black?  It was revealed he was either the brother or nephew of Shawn Sr, so why is he searching for his family again?
