I almost pissed myself laughing at this. I really thought this was photoshopped when someone posted the picture earlier. Man... what the hell were they thinking? I don't care how much someone enjoys the possession storyline or if you think Ron Carlivati walks on water. There is no defending this devil bitmoji. This was so bad. It's like watching a parody. Why does the devil look like a bitmoji of Mr. T as a baby? Why does the devil have a mohawk and a septum piercing? They really could've just had him communicating with Marlena through the phone without showing the screen. I'm STILL laughing at how awful this was!

There is zero chemistry with Rafe and Nicole. None. Nada. Not to mention, what the heck is their storyline once they finally get together? Yeah, nothing. Time to move on from these two. I've seen zero fanfare for them. Meanwhile, Nicole and EJ are on fire. That kiss was smokin' hot, and thankfully Nicole seemed into it. They look gorgeous together. Hopefully making out with EJ will get Rafe out of her system for good (I can dream). I still can't believe that we're supposed to buy that Nicole is pining over Rafe when EJ is standing right there looking like sex on a stick. It's almost as stupid as the devil bitmoji. EJ is getting hotter with every episode. Lawdy!

Philip/Chloe/Brady... YAWN! How many times have we seen this scene? They are stale, stale, stale.

Are Ben and Ciara capable of having scenes that don't take place in a bed? I love how they're so sure that they made a baby five minutes after Ciara threw out her birth control pills. Not really how that works, but I guess in soap land it does.

This is why I said what I said about RC not actually liking the show, which was kindly and probably more accurately rephrased as him not having any emotional connection to the show he is writing for.

RC clearly didn't see most of or follow the original storyline. He doesn't understand why it made such an impression of viewers (whether one likes it or not, and I didn't, it did). He thought the idea was amusing and recreating it with a wink would be fanservice.
But you can't do just a wink if you don't understand what is a joke and what isn't. The original possession story was over-the-top but it wasn't a joke. He doesn't get it so he is doing a parody of something he thought was a joke in the first place so we end up with this clownery.
Same with Kristen and the multiple identities btw. He didn't get what made Kristen such an iconic character originally and the entire convoluted twin story memorable. So we ended up with face masks. Because you can only mock what you understand and what you like. If you mock something you deep down have contempt for, it will show and be either ridiculous or mean.
And I can tell the difference because when he writes tongue-in-cheek for characters he cares for or respect or has some bond with, he has been known to find the right balance.

Camp can be great, but I prefer  it with a lot less elbow-in-the-ribs than RC serves up. Hard to pull off without seeming simply amateurish, especially with DAYS’ budget. (And it’s still amateurish a lot of the time, even with all the nudges.)

      I don't think he ever gained much traction on GH. He should have stayed with The Doctors. Was Mark just a toned-down version of Nick? Were they basically the same character?

      All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.

      I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.

      Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.

      This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.

      She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

      Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?

      Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.

      I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
