I've been scratching my head since I've been seeing the Pendleton Bear pics. Who the hell is Duke? I thought maybe he was an easily forgotten snot-nosed child character that Ava raised-up or something. Hey, with these fast-paced storylines, it's difficult especially when 91% of them aren't even memorable. I did a DuckDuckGo search and I only see one character. 

Wait. I just saw the scene where Ava talks to the bear at Basic Black with a pair of scissors. Am I to assume this is where the audience sees that Ava has turned into a psycho? Hell, I say just take a fly swatter a smack her hard across the face and she'll snap out of it. 

It feels like the "current theme" these past couple of weeks is when characters do these "off-the-wall" batsh!t crazy things to cling on to their loves or whatever. Before, it was wearing fake masks to deceive people, but then again, that too was used to cling on to their supposed loves, so I guess this theme isn't so current after all. I guess I just don't understand especially when the ones they're fighting for aren't even worth a hill of beans. Especially Chloe of all people.

Honestly I think most of the audience was living vicariously through Ava while she decapitated the bear. Rafe and Nicole sharing custody of that thing has been the dumbest thing ever. I thought nothing would be worse than when Duke talked to Rafe, but this giant bear will top that if it actually shows up on screen lol.

And the nine percent that IS memorable is memorable for all the wrong reasons.  Like Dollar Tree sands through the Tuesday Morning hourglass, so are the DAYS OF OUR FUCKED-UP LIVES.

"Duke" is a small stuffed teddy bear that Rafe gave Nicole months ago, and then they agreed to share custody of it.  Something about Rafe missing Orpheus's grandson David that Rafe briefly had custody off, and Nicole missing Eric who was in Africa.  They use the bear to help with their loneliness.  Rafe confides in it.  In his mind, Rafe has been hearing the bear give him advice. (really!)

It's a stupid thing that fans of all characters hate. 

Rafe and Ava are in a relationship and live together.  Ava just learned that  Rafe cheated by having sex with Nicole on the Basic Black conference table.  Ava knew that Duke was a symbol of Rafe and Nicole's supposedly platonic friendship -- and now that Ava knows they had sex, she got pissed off and decapitated the bear and vowed revenge.

The teddy bear Duke (recently decapitated) was a regular-sized teddy bear.

Regarding the picture of the giant bear picture-- That giant bear has not been seen on the show.  That picture is a behind-the-scenes pic of something we'll see eventually.

(I just wasted five minutes of my life typing up that stupidity!)

It really appalls me that Ron Carlivati treats something serious like demonic possession as just more soapy goodness. 

This isn't some reality show on Bravo, Mr. Carlivati.  You are literally playing with fire.  You need to balance this darkness with light, not lightheartedness.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was
