2 secrets are revealed.

john, paige and david don't realize their lives are linked by one pivotal event: the death of john's father

DH comments.

says John tells Crosby he never dealt with it because he was afraid of what he might find or that he wouldn't find anything

last time john saw his dad was when he went out to buy john a bicycle. on some level, he feels responsible for his dad's death because his dad was out there doing something for him. on the surface, it's about being a cop and never having solved the case. but "this is his journey so that he's worthy to have someone fall in love with him."

of course, john had nothing to do with his dad's death. it was a random shooting. he was off-duty, saw some suspicious behavior, shots were fired and he fell.

unfortunately, DAVID is the one who shot him. david got caught up in something that thomas tried to break up. in a moment of panic david, who was young, turned around and shot thomas.

thomas was rushed to the hospital where inexperienced surgical intern paige was was on duty. paige ultimately killed him. she knew she had botched some surgery, but she never knew the guy's name. david and paige turned to spencer to clean up their mess, and spencer has held it over their heads all these years.

...............

cut to viki and clint, who discover the trauma that split jess into tess

at the hot spot, rose indicates to viki/clint that whAtever happend to jess happened to her too.

they go to an abandoned house next to the bar and find a box that contains a clue about what happened to jess, but WE DON'T SEE WHAT IT IS. argh!!!

Oh, give us a hint. DH says, "There is molestaion invovled and there is this guy, but there's more to it than that."

Sounds interesting. I'm glad to see she is finally making some reveals but sadly they are coming so late in the game that many people have lost interest in so much of this by now. The stories have just drug out way too long.

On the upnote I can understand the need for so many recurring characters for some part, and glad that she is at least tying two stories together. And giving us some crossover.

Wow....so jessica was molested (and was probably pimped out to other perverted bastards), yet seemed to show no change in behavior while growing up. Yeah, she could have blocked it out, but still........I mean, I like the DID storyline, but the realization that Dena expects us to buy this crap just pissed me off. Jessica, who has grown up on screen, in front of our eyes, experienced this trauma? Come on. WTF ever. It would have been more believeable to have had Mitch do something to Jessica when he had her captured (we still don't know EXACTLY) what happened to her.

Exactly. I think Higley is grasping at straws and trying to further the plot along when she could have just used the trauma Jess experienced from Mitch and Stephen Haver. But since she created Tess, she HAS to create a new backstory to explain it. Ugh.

so she went into the background and created the alter and it allowed itself to be called Jessica and the real Jessica changed her name to Tess upon her awakening?

Sounds horribly convoluted ... Dena'll do it.

I don't know how that crappy idea will work. I mean Viki named her Jessica when she was born right? It wouldn't make sense for Jessica to be the alter.

I'm giving myself a headache trying to make sense out of this. I have no doubts Higley would go this route.

it's just so unoriginal. She's had over a year to come up with some killer reason as to what happened. It was bad enough when Dena made DID hereditary. And now they're basically just ripping off Viki's backstory and giving it to Jessica. Mollestation = DID. Been there ... done that.

      Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.

      Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.

      I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.

      I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.

      That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

      Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.

      Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be.

      I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here.

      It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
