Both Ava's intro and the beginning of John as RoboJohn was good.  Both stories honestly had potential.  I don't really remember the pairing very well, but I do remember the back and forth between Marlena and John was extremely repetitive and tiresome.  I did enjoy snarky RoboJohn though. 

Anyway, I enjoyed TB's first run as Ava a lot, but she has no purpose now.   I don't even know how to fix her at this point.  She really doesn't fit on the canvas.

I really enjoyed today's episode. Sometimes Ron Carlivati gets it right lol

This is what the possession needed to be from the very beginning. John facing down the demon with the medal and fighting him off was campy, and Drake was hammy but I wasn't laughing. It wasn't the kind of camp that Ron is accustomed to: that stupid, silly crap. This was more the shade of JER and I really liked that. And it was nice to see that everyone was still able to hang the ornaments on the tree despite everything that happened. It sent a nice message to the audience lol

And yeah, I know a lot of you don't like Missy Reeves, but I'm glad Jennifer's back. She was desperately needed in the whole Abby/Gwen storyline. And the shorter hair looked good.

If it were me, I'd probably write her, and Rafe, off

Too bad they killed off Nick.  "Nan" might have been worth a few (unintentional) laughs.

Like @carolineg said, though, Shawn isn't exactly Mr. Excitement himself, so perhaps the two deserve each other.

Same goes for Austin and Carrie.

I find Carrie/Austin more exciting although that's mostly because of Carrie.  Austin and Shawn are similar, but Carrie is more exciting than Belle even though I admit they are similar as well.  Just Carrie/Sami's dynamic alone makes Carrie > Belle.  

To be clear, Shawn/Belle deserve to be on the show and used more, but they just don't do much for me. 

John fighting the Devil was fantastic lol.  That's the entertaining camp I need because Drake sure takes this Mardevil thing seriously and he is not afraid to give it his all.  I actually think these type of stories work to Drake's 'strengths' because he can just let it all go.

It was... Today's show was one hot mess. Where do I begin? It was just horrible. I was laughing through most of the episode. Ben at the Horton house putting up the angel not once but twice to Abby being nice to him and to top it off showing Ben's ornament and not Will who is an actual Horton was the icing on the cake.

I didn't need to see Mrs. Chick til a either. I preferred Cady.

At least MR didn't look like Irene Ryan.

I created a great story for Ava. I created a story where she becomes bad again and steals basic black, Gabi Chic and Countess Wilhemina Cosmetics from Dimera and Kiriakis empires along with their fortunes.

this would include the help of Tyler and Sydney who are aged to teenagers and hate their family names.

 

The thing is, Shawn and Belle just need someone to write for them, how JER wrote for Carrie and Austin back in the 1990s.

 

no one seems to write for them. Give them a good and juicy storyline and they wouldn’t be boring.

Shawn/Belle were written for ad nauseum for years.  I agree they deserve story now, but they burned through about 10 plus years of stories in about 2 years back in the day.  It's not like they have always been criminally ignored as a couple.   I just don't think they are leading couple material, but they are more interesting than half the couples on the show.  Obviously that's faint praise though lol.

Y'all are being so hard on the devil stuff today.  I thought it was hilarious and entertaining.  

Missy's hair looks good like that and that's all I have to say about Jen.

    • 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.
