In all fairness I considered Marlena to be about 45 from 1993-2008 so it's not an actual dig lol.

that's how well she aged lol

Lol!  She's obviously had some good work and taken good care of herself, but I do think either 80's styling or just DH's natural looks made her read older in the 70's and 80's so by the 90's she just sort of looked the same age for a long time.  Drake has aged like a silver fox, but has visibly aged.  I swear Deidre Hall looked about the same from the late 90's until like 2012.  She clearly looks older now, but for awhile there was very little difference in her appearance at all.

Indeed and still at 75 she still looks way better than many of us mortals, and She stills looks like herself too

Andrew would look cute screaming in an underground cage. 

Just saying Dimitri, he's right there and let your DiMera freak on.

Today was a long one. 46 minutes 

And it was also a good one too. Someone really needs to tell some of the writers on the team that rushing things ruins them, but taking their time on things makes them really good. 

I loved Chad’s scenes. It was nice seeing come to terms with grief and guilt. We finally got a good understanding of his actions and feelings in the past year. I felt like in some episodes, a lot of things involving Chad got rushed. We should have seen more of it. But today, they took their time on everything and it was really enjoyable and comforting to see. Billy and SSH work really well together as well. This is how the storyline should have always been played, instead of having such a huge focus on RSW/Alex. And once again, they tried to write Alex as caring and sincere and understanding and once again, he came off as phony and manipulative. 

I also liked how Dimitri’s character was developed more as well. I almost had a little sympathy for him 😂

I’m a little interested in this storyline, although I’d still take a pass on both of his potential partners. 

I always find it strange how characters like Bonnie that have spent years creating elaborate schemes and lying have such a hard time lying about stuff after their 'reformed'.   All she had to say is I didn't see Sarah or Sarah is fine and doing well.   Bonnie is just creating a different elaborate lie to protect Sarah and it's idiotic.  It would have been better if Chloe stumbled upon the news that Sarah was pregnant instead.

And the actor had to lie about who the two were even though the news had been spoiled already. 

Spoiler

Why they continue to waste characters like Dimitri on Gwen and Leo is beyond me. I hate both characters.

They’re determined to make the character of Leo work, no matter what 😂

I've heard he has some woe is me crying scenes why nobody loves me. They sure try to pimp disgusting Leo.

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. 

Maybe they weren't clones at all.  Perhaps just plastic surgery or masks.  They weren't called "clones" originally back in 1995. That's something ol' Ronny boy coined onscreen recently because he likely saw my clip of the 4 Marlena Clones on YouTube (I'm proud to say I put it up in the YouTube universe first many years ago and it still circulates under other people's profiles) LOL

When I first started watching in '95, I was trying to wrap my head around a woman in her mid 30's being mother to Sami (who looked older than 18) and a mother figure to Carrie (who I assumed was in her early 20's) Yet Deidre was turning 48 that year.

Wednesday's show was a waste of time.

Thursday's show yummmmm at Tripp. Would love to buy those boxers for some guy(s) I know.😂

Monday's show...love Stephanie red dress. GR acting is so bad that I don't know if his character is giggling or him? The writing is terrible.

He still looked good though. And I thought his scenes were actually written well 😂

I was surprised that Gabi and Stefan were the ones who reached out to EJ to form an alliance and that he turned them down. EJ is a lot smarter than that and I expected it to be the other way around. All the more reason that I think this writing team either doesn’t like EJ or is just tired of him. 

Idk what to make of Megan’s plan though. We don’t need another person in this EJ vs Stefan nonsense, but if Megan’s plan leads to Dimera going belly up, I’d be all for it. 

As for Eric/Sloan, all I’m gonna say is Sloan really needs a buddy. Someone she could talk to and confide, sort of like what Chloe and Nicole had today. 

Btw, Nicole’s dress was hideous 😂😂
