Still can't believe we got a promo of the boys are back and yet Will and Sonny have been MIA.

Why did they even bother?

If only Ron Carlivati had just been clear from the beginning what the devil's motives were in returning to Salem.  I mean, the guy who plays "Mayhem" in those auto insurance commercials has caused more mayhem than the devil has in this story.

Maybe the devil should have inhabited Allie all along (although, I still think Belle or "Father Eric" would have been a more logical choice).

And I can see where Ron is coming from in taking that left turn with Doug, but didn't they say right before the story began that Doug couldn't be somewhere because he'd torn his rotator cuff playing tennis or something?  And we were all like, "He's HOW old and he's still playing tennis?".  It's a little strange to go from that to "Doug might be suffering from Alzheimer's."

Yeah, I am not even sure if RC knew what the Devil's motives were in the beginning.   But even JER was vague about that.  It was more to seduce John to get a priest's soul to take over the world.  I mean that is absolutely a larger scale plan for the Devil, but it didn't actually make sense.  The Devil wants Cin's baby for what?  I am unclear what the end goal is there.

I remember Julie saying Doug was the best in the league/highest scorer in racket ball.   Bill Hayes looks great, but he's 96.  It's clear him and John Aniston aren't running around playing sports, but the show goes out of their way to make them seem young and active which sometimes feels awkward.

100% agree Belle or Eric would have been better devil choices.  I would have absolutely skipped over Johnny as the devil and gone straight to Allie though.  Because LA certainly can grasp and play the material better than CB.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
