The flu shot thing was just so random. Kayla and Tripp were going on about the hospital's campaign and I thought I had totally missed something because I had no clue what they were talking about. Then Steve comes in and doesn't want his flu shot, but by the next scene Kayla has him convinced. Just really random. I mean, maybe some viewers will see that Steve Johnson thinks flu shots are cool and will go out and get vaccinated? Lol.

Summer has to be one of the most pointless characters they've created in recent years. She was a total flop and I can't remember any of her storylines. Literally the only scene of hers that I remember is her and Brady on a beach for some reason. Her death affects nothing and I love how viewers are like, "Oh, Summer died? Sweet. Anyway..."

I am glad that Suzanne Rogers is back and doing well. It just feels kind of weird when things are going on at the Kiriakis mansion and she and Victor aren't around.

We probably heard about Richard Steinmetz getting a role on DAYS a couple years ago, but if we did, I had totally forgotten about it by now.

Also, I just want to ask why Chanel had to go to Eli and Lani's yesterday to use their oven. She owns a bakery?!

Muah!

He's still around because Gabi needs a d-ck to ride I guess.

The character has potential but right now he's pointless. He's just Gabi's sidekick and his life completely revolves around her. They really need to have him mix it up with other people because his character doesn't really exist outside of being Gabi's current bed buddy. I wouldn't mind seeing him detach himself from Gabi's hip for a minute and interacting more with the DiMeras, or being chem tested with the other women in Salem. I actually liked him with Kate.

I don't remember how long ago we heard it, but I think the speculation at the time was that he was Paulina's abusive ex, so it couldn't have been that long ago.

What are these popping soap boards that are so fun?  Most soap boards have like 10 posts a day and I can't think of one that is super pro days and Ron.

I think it helps that Beyond Salem had some extra Peacock money + they had a focused story that was supposed to last over five episodes; no more no less. I don't think it's fully fair to compare it to regular DOOL since they have more to juggle.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.    
    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.
