And the show sort-of acknowledges that with Hattie making fun of it.

 

But this dopplegänger storyline is dumb, but it will reveal the inevitable return of... DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!

All the Days head writers have been at a severe disadvantage since they started writing 7-8 months ahead.  Ron will run into the same issues as Quigley, Tomsell etc. in that when a story isn't working it won't be fixed quickly.  It's also hard to know which beats to play when you can't see the chemistry play out on screen till months later.  I think the next few months will be exciting and fun and a bit buzz worthy. Let' see how things are in January once Sami is gone.  Ron will bring a lot of camp and humor to the show, and the dialog will be snappy and irreverent.  We've already seen that with the scripts by Richard Culliton, Kriezman and Carolyn Culliton in the first three episodes (and those are Days strongest script writers IMO).  I don't like the look alike plots but think of all those Trump voters watching in the heart land.  They love alternate realities, outlandish characters and impossibly evil people who get away with crimes. LOL

 

And don't look now but Carlivati has started following Rob Wilson (Ben) on Twitter...Could Ben be returning??

I'm also hearing that Kevin Spirtas as Craig Wesley will be makings some appearances for Chloe's story line!

I wouldn't say it's "good" just that the bar has been set so low by Dena that anything is better.

 

I do think there's a definitive change in how characters interact but longterm plots... we'll see. The dopplegänger storyline is incredibly wonky from the get-go.

God, yes, it's all so stupid, but entertaining and much more interesting!

Here we go again -- casting a Middle Eastern man as Greek. His whole accent isn't even right. He's not even pronouncing Kiriakis correctly -- and he's Greek!  And I'm laughing so hard at the sign on the door that doesn't quite mean what they think it means. LMAO.

 

Why the HELL is Kate wearing the same blouse she wore during a food fight? Is the budget this broke? Couldn't they have Koslow wear one of her own blouses? I mean, I can still see a little yellow from the food on that blouse!!!

 

I am SO enjoying the Hattie/Anjelica stuff. I don't know a whole lot about Anjelica but even I can tell this is random for that character. Still, he's giving good, beloved actresses (Marlena, Bonnie, Anjelica) some real enjoyable things to work with. Bonnie seeing Hattie for example was so much fun. And I love the little bits of comedy ("It tells you you're hungry or you're horny" "It's the part that processes emotions" "That's what I said"  or something like that) and then not knowing which door. 

 

Dario and Chad have really good adversarial chemistry. Dare I say it? The DAYS staple of a character taking off RIGHT as they are about to be written out seems to be striking again. And they've added more moments of interest, like Andre being impressed by Katie (a new connection!) and Chad turning to leave but looking back, knowing something's up. Finally, some character... some space to breathe!

 

Even Marlena gets to be awesome: "You don't seem mad at me" "I raised Sami!"

 

Paul pushing Xander against the cabinet was so homoerotic  Always good to see that prime Australian beef LMAO

    • 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.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
