I found out about the preemptions on November 12, which is the day I posted about it on the web. I'm guessing the people at Days probably found out a little sooner than that. They were taping April at that point, so they would have written through some point in May at that point So this was always the time frame where the episodes would get back on track.

When I saw Steve and Kayla's crib, I thought they lived in the same building as John and Marlena as some model units look the same, so I wasn't sure. Then, I saw that small hallway, and I had a flashback of John's exorcism kit he has somewhere stashed on one of those shelves, lol!

I'm a Gwen fan through thick and thin. I don't think that Emily O'Brien has been given any meaty material lately. The same can be said for all the actors, lol! It's not just Emily O'Brien. I don't enjoy criticizing actors, and I hope it doesn't come across that way. But when I see some lousy acting, I call it out. I've always been like that. Perhaps Boatman and Wilson are the nicest people on the planet, but they're both terrible on the show. I think I briefly spoke negatively about Marci Miller, but she is a great actress and wonderfully talented. However, I'm not too fond of her take with Abigail Devereaux because what Abigail needs right now is a big fat lip. Perhaps that is my reasoning for liking Gwenyth. Emily O'Brien's performance this past Thursday with Paul Telfer (5/12) left me breathless (although I would have preferred for Gwenyth to let Zander have it). Still, I'm curious because I thought the spoilers for Gwyneth were going to be different, but I'll tune in for this.

It's nice to see the meddling mother hens of Salem find a truce somehow. On the Horton side of town, you've got Julie, while on the Dimera side, you've got Anna. Last but not least, on the Kiriakis side, you've got Maggie. Although we already knew Maggie pressing charges against Anna for what she did to Sarah was bogus, it's nice to see the meddling mother hens of Salem unite. I'm kidding. Maggie, Anna, and Julie are annoying AF.

So, the first time Charlie rose from the grave, he looked like Beetlejuice, but the second time he rose from the grave, he was clean as a whistle with waxed done eyebrows. I'm glad this storyline is coming to a closure, but there's still a lot of mess to digest in the town of Salem.

I might be in the minority, but I thought today's show was pretty good.   A little weird it was on a Monday and not a Friday though.  Not going to spoil since everyone hasn't seen it, but I was entertained.  I'd go as far as saying it was one of the better shows in recent memory even with the Devil stuff.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.
