The same could be said for their actors' wardrobe.  Gone are the days when we had a Lee Smith or Greg York, who dressed these actors for their characters, rather than put them in boring clothes that everyone else on the shows would wear.

That opening scene when Marlena woke up John…

I liked the dynamic between Brady/Theresa/Alex today. It would be really interesting if Alex keeps his guard up and continue to suspect that Theresa still has feelings for Brady. It would be a different take on this kind of storyline instead of Alex just being dumb. Tying that to Theresa’s secret and everything that’s going on with Tate could lead to a lot of stuff for so many characters. I just think Alex needs someone, outside of this whole situation, to talk to and confide in. Chad, maybe?

Hopefully, Maggie keeps her guard up as well. I would love it if it turns out that she already figured out on her own that Konstantin is up to no good. And that would also explain why she suggested that he leave Salem today.  

And yeah, Clyde just needs to die. So tired of him. It kinda sucks that the two main villains on the show right now are just annoying pains in the ass.

That was scary. I do not like this John Black at all, not one bit. 

They were interesting. I feel like she is lying about not having any leftover feelings for Brady but she's lying to herself first so then of course she lies to Alex, too. 

Alex doesn't seem to know how to be a friend, or to let anyone else be his friend. 

Maggie looks to me like she is not seeing the forest for the trees. Because she doesn't want people treating her like a child she is not seriously considering their concerns & we know they're right! 

Another day with Albert Alarr as co-EP. Phooey.

I've said it before, but they should do a storyline adressing the housing crisis in Salem where half the town has to sleep in a hotel or in the TARDIS known as John and Marlena's ever-expanding unseen apartment corridor with infinitive bedrooms (but no kitchen).

Yeah well, count me as one of the fans that doesn't give two craps about the Brady/Theresa/Alex "triangle" especially since it's pretty obvious that when Theresa's secret implodes, she's not going to ultimately end up with either Brady or Alex because both men are going to want absolutely nothing to do with her. 

And honestly, Theresa shouldn't be a long term character anyway since a large majority of fans don't even like her anyway and she's better off popping in for occasional visits to see Tate and Andrew, (and not to mention that they've basically ruined her beyond repair in this latest stint anyway). Andrew is the one who should be a long term character since a lot of fans seem to really like him and a lot of people actually want him to be on the show on a permanent basis with Paul.

Just let Jen Lilley play Theresa again so that she can pop in whenever she wants to whenever she's not focused on her charity work or making her movies. When Theresa does eventually leave, have her be gone for another 5 to 10 years like she did the last time and maybe have her show up for Holly and Tate's wedding down the line when they're older and also have her pop in for another visit when they welcome their first child. 

And I also second that motion that Clyde needs to die. I don't even understand why he's back at this point, especially considering all of the egregious and abhorrent things that he's done over the years, not to mention the horrific abuse he subjected Ben and Jordan to. Can somebody, anybody, please kill him?!

    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.
