I had the same thought.  If anything, historically, Tony was closer to Marlena than Anna.  But, I opined that she was doing it because everyone else is dead or out of town.  It seems superfluous because IRL John, Belle, and Eric would be the ones to speak, but maybe there were multiple eulogies planned?

Yeah, that set defies logic like the Tardis on Dr Who it expands to fit all who enter.  I still don't get why Wendy hasn't gotten her own place yet?  And where is Henry's room?

Once Anne Milbauer left University Hospital it has become a very liberal workplace

Sami, all there was, was someone talked to her on the phone & she was trying everything in her power to get to Salem. Carrie, not a single mention & not in the obit. Shawn, completely missing from the show. 

People seemed to think that Anna & Marlena long ago bonded as co-mothers of Carrie & people seemed to be touched. Bonnie was writing something to say & that is ridiculous, she's not Adrienne!

At TelevisionStats.com there is Metrics of fan engagement. It is all about the online presence of shows. GH is #1 soap. DOOL and Y&R go back & forth as #2 & #3. For a long time DOOL was peacock's #1 show on this metric but for the last 2 weeks have been #3. Peacock is out of 27 shows. This Metric is not as good as Neilsens. Most Popular Show Online (out of 1706 shows) GH #50, DOOL #199 and Y&R #185. Best Rank in the last 12 mos. GH #15, DOOL #24 and Y&R #81. Y&R definitely got a bump up with the Tracy Bregman special days. Here's a graph from this metric.

Yeah, I am not even sure why Allie/Chanel would need an office for their shared business.  You would assume the office would be at their actual business location.  I don't mind Wendy living there, but offer her the couch in the office at least to at so everyone can have some privacy lol.

Bonnie writing something for Marlena seemed like a thing she felt like doing-not because she was asked.  Anna said eulogy.  If we are choosing Marlena's old friends it should be Maggie, but that would never happen.  

Is Sami in some country she can't get plane flights or using the airline Hope used while she was off the show that never made it anywhere?  The Carrie mentions are always hit and miss, so I am not surprised she is nowhere to be found. 

And Salem Hospital needs an HR department because I would think Sarah wearing half a shirt would be unhygienic and I wouldn't be comfortable with a Dr that wore that treating me.

Did Anna do the eulogy when John died?  Marlena spoke and I thought that was the main 'eulogy' if you will.  Anyhow, I know they bonded and raised Carrie, but that bond is really far back and obscured by the fact that Carrie's rarely acknowledged.  I guess I should be thankful Susan's not around right now because she would be the one writing it.

I don't know what is unhygienic about a bare midriff, but the weirdest thing about Salem Airport is that nobody ever gets picked up at the terminal, they just appear in the square, usually without any luggage...

Thank you!  Now that you brought that clip over I completely remember.  I am getting old lol!  It's lovely as was the entire funeral.  I guess Anna has a knack for this and that's why she got chosen for this assignment.

In reply to several posts asking where Shawn is ...

Remember Claire had some mental health issues several years ago.  Later on, Claire moved to South Africa to try a new life, hanging out with Theo Carver and JJ Deveraux who had already moved there.
Belle and Shawn went to South Africa to visit Claire for the Christmas 2022 holidays.
Belle returned to Salem alone, in the Jan. 19 episode when word came that Marlena was critically ill.  She arrived in a hurry on the Titan jet.

Quoting Belle from Jan. 19 episode:

Well, Shawn asked Victor to send the Titan jet. I’m sure he’ll be cranky as hell when I try to thank him for it, but it was very sweet nonetheless. 

How's Claire? Oh, she’s good. She’s okay. She, uh, she sends her love, she knows about, uh, Kayla and Kate, so Shawn and I thought it would be best if she stayed in Johannesburg in case she needs some extra therapy sessions. And Shawn sends his love too. But he wanted to stay with her. We don't want her to have any setbacks.

--------
(Sad dialog filmed before John Aniston died, so Belle will never get a chance to thank Victor onscreen.)

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
