I think it will be the opposite.   He will marry Gwen, but be in love with Leo.

  That ad and that movie will never get old.  Dee would play 5 characters and we would see her for one episode then have to wait a month for the next episode because she has so few guarantees.

I feel like we don't talk enough about the marriage of Justin and Bonnie.

It's giving Rebecca/Vertigo.  I mean they have nothing in common except for the fact that she resembles his dead wife.  At this point I can't tell if she keeps her hair and makeup like Adrienne in order to please Justin, or because she feels that he expects it.  His kids don't seem to notice that their father has developed an obsession with keeping Adrienne's memory alive.  In the past, Bonnie's manic energy and lack of sophistication would have been a turn off for Justin.  But now, he stands by her despite her rather obvious lack of intellect.  It's a little sick.

If Deidre Hall can play Deidre Hall, why can't she play four (or maybe three because Megan killed one) Marlenas? They're just going to be differentiated by the colour of their suit anyway but maybe not even that because the budget won't allow it. Maybe they can have different accents!

That could have been a very interesting dynamic had it been explored, but I don't think current Days would ever be that deep lol

Too bad Sonny's not around. He's pretty much the only character that would have had the foresight to bring all this to Justin's attention.

I can just imagine what the three or four other Marlenas would be doing right now.  You have one clone living in squalor in a trailer park in Florida; another living a life of splendor as the wife of a wealthy businessman in England; a third living and working as a nun in an African orphanage; and maybe a fourth who is now a spinster librarian at a college somewhere in the Midwest.

It's fun to think about, but it would be horrible in execution.  I would be more curious as to their health? Back in 1995 the cloning stuff was new lol.  Are they as smart or evolved as Marlena?  How did they establish themselves and make a living as a 45 year old new woman in the world with no education or life skills?  Did Stefano give them money and/or a plan besides just to be seen in various parts of the world to throw off John/the police?  If Ron insists on making this a cannon there are so many questions I have, but it's better suited for an intelligent person's fanfic and not Ron's writing.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      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?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      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.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
