Members Antoyne Posted December 20, 2019 Members Share Posted December 20, 2019 So wait this serum literally has the ability to give Hope all of Princess Gina's memories, when Gina has been dead for 20 years? What the hell did Gina think when she first woke up as Hope, that she had been sleeping? Thank you so much for all the responses. I took a long break from actually watching the show recently so this is all confusing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 20, 2019 Members Share Posted December 20, 2019 ย Because, abductingย and/or killing someone close to Hope, in the words of my late grandmother, "would be too much like doing right." ย ย "Forget it, @Antoyne, it's Chinatown."

Members AbcNbc247 Posted December 20, 2019 Members Share Posted December 20, 2019 You're welcome. ย What the serum can or cannot do hasn't really been made clear. I think they sort of just glossed over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 20, 2019 Members Share Posted December 20, 2019 ย Remember when all Hope had to do was take off with Bo on his motorcycle?ย I miss those DAYS. ย Thanks, @AbcNbc247! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 You're welcome.ย ย Sadly, I wasn't born yet, so the sci-fi/OTT stuff is where my memories begin lolย ย I'm grateful everyday that we have sites like YouTube where we can watch vintage soap clips, especially vintage Bo and Hope. ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 ย Wasn't the real Princess Gina also supposed to be 20 years older than Hope? I remember seeing Kristian Alfonso in old-age make-up playing Gina at least once, many years ago. ย At one point, I believe it was said Hope only resembled Gina. ย They weren't originally identical. ย I think much of that has been changed by later head-writers.ย Does anyone else remember any of this? ย ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 ย ICAM. ย ย Now, see, I thought the explanation was that the real Princess Gina was (roughly) the same age as Hope, but had aged prematurely due to mental illness and being locked up for so long by Stefano.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 You're right, Gina was supposed to be older than Hope. I'm not sure but I think she might have had plastic surgery at some point after she decided to impersonate Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 ย Gina was in fact meant to be much older than Hope. After all, Gina had a grown up daughter Greta, and Greta was supposedly already grown when Hope dissappeared thanks to Ernesto, as the writers retconned it so that Ernesto switched Greta and Hope at the last minute and Greta was in the cage when it exploded on Ernesto's island.

Members Khan Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 And then there's my pet theory, which is that the Hope you're seeing now is not the real Hope, who is still alive, and being held captive with the real Roman (Wayne Northrop's Roman, not Drake Hogestyn's, or even Josh Taylor's), the real Marlena (who hasn't been in Salem since '87) and the real Bo (who disappeared while sailing around the world with his wife).

Members Dion Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 How far soap opera technology has come! - in 1999, Rolf and Stefano actually had to wait for a satellite in orbit to get into the right position to activate the chip lol! And the whole plan was almost ruined by a blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 Oh god. The Gina and Steveano stuff is my least favorite thing going on outside of Will being best friends with the guy who killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 ย I think most people are in agreement that the Lani/Kristen friendship is one of the things that actually work with the time jump - Kristen badly needed to come back to planet Earth to be viable as a long term character and Lani desperately needed some edge and stop being a doormat. It's like Ron - shock horror - actually took notice of what didn't work for each character and decided to fix it by pairing them up. I'll have to give him credit for that one since I wouldn't have thought of it, but at the same time I have to wonder if he was just pulling character names out of a hat and accidentally paired them together as opposed to a conscious decision about what the characters needed (especially with Will and Ben in jail).
