Today's episode was pure filler. There wasn't any movement in any story. Its a wasted episode. The best part was seeing EJ in the priest costume.

Marlena in her devil costume was hilarious. Could they have found a cheaper Party City wig for her though? Thank god Belle was FINALLY on. She should be all over this possession storyline, yet today was the first time we've seen her in ages. I have to say that I hate the devil voice.

Abby wants to look through Dr. Snyder's office. Huh? It's been like four months since he died. Surely his office has been cleaned out and given to someone else by now. Also, Chad and Abby need to start locking their bedroom door. EJ just strolls right in and sits on the bed while they're making out, LMAO! EJ driving Chad crazy is hilarious to me.

EJ practicing his eyebrow acting was hilarious.

Poor Tripp doesn't even get to be included in the Ouija board scenes. He must've been busy embroidering another blanket. He is truly just an afterthought. This is really a triangle with Chanel and the twins.

Father EJ is mine!

I have the sudden urge to go to confession after today

Agreed.  I enjoy his ridiculous commitment to this movie part lol.  I don't think this episode was entirely filler.  We found out John was in the crypt, Johnny and Allie are going to investigate, and Belle was suspicious of Marlena.  Everything else was boring though.

It was nice to see Belle again.  I feel like it's been months.

I liked Marlena "sexy" devil costume with red lipstick and wig, but still a pantsuit underneath.  Is 75 year old Marlena just going to walk around town in costume just because?  Whoever said we needed a party or an event for this is right. 

I like John stuck at the Dimera crypt.  But it takes me out of kidnappings when I have no idea how John is going to eat or pee.

MarDevil wig came from Dollar Tree. 

How no one can figure out that's not Marlena is beyond me.

It was about halfway through the episode, but it was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. EJ was on the couch looking at his script and was like, "I gotta work on that eyebrow thing," did an eyebrow raise, and then Abby walked in. It was awesome. I also appreciate that DF made an attempt at emulating Drake's gravelly voice when he called Abby "my precious Marlena" at the beginning of the episode. Now I want to see EJ playing John just so I can hear more of his Drake Hogestyn voice (plus the priest outfit).

I'm currently trying to figure out what I enjoyed about this show before DF came along.

    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
