I liked Rafe in the beginning with Sami when they were in the safehouse.   I thought him and Christie Clark had okay chemistry too even though that pairing is universally reviled.

Those polls are crazy.  I remember the days when Liz/Jason would win all the GH couple polls and they weren't anywhere near a couple and Jasam would be second lol.

Rafe is here because someone thought Luis from Passions tested well with focus groups at NBC. That's it! He is a charisma void and even his initial story was a weak tea riff on Marlena and Roman and frankly beneath Sami's heights up to that point IMO.

He did have more chemistry with CC but people freaked out about that. He should've been fired years ago.

Doesn't half of Salem live at the Inn? Why can't Shawn and Belle live at Bo's and Hopes home? I know Days has a crappy budget, but see one living room set and change it to reflect multiple characters home, other than them always at the Salem Inn.

Soap Opera Digest still exist!!?? Who actually buys that magazine, probably someone's grandma lol

Belle and Shawn do live in Hope's house.  The last time they showed it was around Ciara's wedding to Theo I think. Xander, Gwen, and possibly Brady live at the Inn, which is ridiculous especially for two cash strapped people like Xander/Gwen.  A lot of people were living at Jarlena's townhouse in the summer-Sami, EJ, Brady, Susan, Claire.

Its Kate, she should win worst mother of the century award! Remember back in the 1990's, how she would interfere with Austin and Billie and their relationships with Carrie and Bo. 

Honestly, I am not shocked her kids are messed up! I wish they would write a story about her kids turning their backs on her, going to therapy and blaming her for everything.

Aw, I don't watch the show everyday. It just seems the bedroom everyone always in, even in the Dimera house looks all the same, small and a typical NYC hotel room lol. Also, always ugly wallpaper!

No worries.  Hope only has a living room anyway.  You aren't wrong about all the bedrooms looking the same.  

John/Marlena's bedroom is the only bedroom set that looked significantly different from the boxy rooms, but I haven't seen that room since their wedding in 2018? 19?

Ciara/Ben live in one room, so I hope they are planning to upgrade for the devil baby

When all this is over and Chloe dumps Phillip for good and Sami dumps Lucas ....I want Philip and Lucas to get drunk and sing as a duo..."I can't make you love me" as Kate watches.

Agree.  Many writers like to throw these kinds of curveballs at us, don't they?  Even if Lucas being Sami's abductor is supposed to be a Twist You Never Saw Coming, we should be able to go back, look at what led us to that revelation, and see how it was all logical and inevitable.  But I don't see that here.  I just see another sorry-ass HW tryna surprise the audience without giving logic a second thought.

God, I hate these damn shows.

And the Chloe/Brady/Philip mess should end with Philip dead (or 'dead'), Chloe unable to remember what happened, Brady taking the rap, and Kate being revealed as the surprise murderer (or 'murderer,' since it's very possible either Victor or Vivian, or Victor AND Vivian, could sneak Philip off somewhere to heal from his wounds and get psychological help).

Did his fans send Ken Corday a new set of golf clubs or something?

    • 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.
