Here's what I don't get about the "rules" of this devil story:  given that the devil can morph into anyone, but the real person can be simultaneously somewhere else (i.e. John and Kristin), is the devil within Marlena, or is Marlena being held somewhere and the devil morphs into her?  Because why did the devil move from Doug to Marlena if it could always just morph into anyone?

Science fiction requires rules for it to have some meaning and the devil's rules are very confusing...

Also, why is the devil's vendetta so personal to this set of people rather than trying to spread evil everywhere?

I think the devil's rules are whatever Ron Carlivati pulls out of his ass on any given day

I don't even try to make sense of it and just try to enjoy individual scenes and seeing Deidre have fun. We had the devil jumping from Doug to Marlena, then appearing in Marlena's phone as that ridiculous bitmoji, and now the devil is morphing into whoever it wants. I believe the devil is inside Marlena, and then MarDevil takes on the appearance of John and Kristen. It's not worth the headache trying to figure it out because it'll change by next week anyway.

So you raise valid points.   My loose understanding is that the devil is in Marlena.  The devil specifically wants(ed) Marlena to be his 'host' because they had so much fun last time and the job was unfinished.  The Devil used Doug to get into Marlena's body because she was less vulnerable than last time and needed a bargaining chip I guess.  

The Devil has always been able to morph as far back as the initial story (Kristen/isabella/monsters) and I guess just does it when it's useful because it doesn't want John or Kristen's souls or whatever.  Plus, John/Kristen being in two places while the devil is morphed into them I think makes it easier for the Devil to get caught, so it's not ideal to do long term?  It gets super confusing because the Devil left Marlena to go into Susan to be Kristen, but Marlena morphed into John herself.  It would have been easier to have Marlena morph into Kristen instead of using Susan, and possibly more effective, but the DH's and ED needed scenes together so the devil took the hard way because of Ron.

No idea why the devil is so invested in this particular group of people.  The devil is clearly invested in Marlena because it talks to her like she was an ex-lover of something and bitter at John due to the whole exorcism.   It's fixated on Ben/Ciara because it wants a demon spawn and I just assume it hasn't taken his devil plans worldwide yet. 

Listen, that is the best way I can make sense of it, but it doesn't really make sense.  And I assume I have just given it more thought than RC ever has.

Thank you.  I''m just so glad you didn't say that I was taking it too seriously or reading too much into it, because I think every work of good fantasy fiction should set up a set a rules that define it's universe (ie vampires can't go in the sunlight or Superman can't go near kryptonite), it heightens the experience to have well defined cannon.

    • 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.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
