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.

    • 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)
