One of the most charismatic actors soaps have seen. He made so much of JER's campy, absurd material seem fun and yet also appropriately twisted. More than anything I enjoyed his off-kilter relationship with Celeste, and his unexplored relationship with "Alexandra." 

 

I'm glad the show kept him on-contract to the end instead of treating him as some kind of burden.

 I literally was just thinking about him too! I actually love mimicking his voice when I'm board at work if that doesn't sound weird, haha, but another sad loss for a dynamic daytime legend!

 

 

RIP!!!

I had no idea he was so I'll or that he was 87. Even though Stefano was turned into a cartoon through the writing, JM always brought humanity and a presence that still made him worth watching. A class act. No need to be sad, he lived a wonderful life and gave people a ton of pleasure over the years. Thank you, Joe!

No!! I loved Joe and Stefano Dimera.  Stefano was my favourite character on DAYS, and no matter what absurd things Stefano did, I always loved it because of Joe's portrayal.  He never phoned it in, he was always so watchable.  Some of my favourite storylines involved him: Maison Blanche, Aremid, Marlena's Possession, and Lady in a Cage.

 

 

Thank you, Joe!  RIP!

Wow, this got to me.  Great line, Roman.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
