Lol.  Wendy isn't her given name, but, yeah, it's a little dated.

First, I don't know why every man is obsessed with Stephanie.  She seems nice and fine although not someone that would have multiple men after her.  Second, why would anyone care where she sleeps or with whom?  She's about 30, Leo is 40 plus and I don't think I cared about who was sleeping with who in my town since I was 20.  Third, Leo isn't being catty and gossip-y and fun-he's been downright creepy. 

Chanel was the only person today not entirely enthralled with Stephanie's love life.

3.8/10

I liked the Ava and Wendy scenes because it helped define their relationship.

But, that scene and the Everett/Leo scene were so annoying because of how they chop up conversations.  Characters get approximately two lines of dialogue, then they cut, and come back for two more lines.  I'm not a content expert, but it feels like on streaming the audience can tolerate longer scenes.

Is it possible that Stefan knows about Johnny's engagement before EJ?  And isn't it a bit tacky to get married whilst your stepmother and sister are in an Italian hospital?

They're really playing the “what time of day is it in Salem” game with Kayla getting home from the hospital while everyone is still in bed.  But, what Chief of Staff works overnight shifts?

Fourth, are Stephanie and Everett famous enough in Salem to have gossip written about them in the newspaper?

Headline: Former coma patient and lady who still lives with her parents might be canoodeling?

Also, just last week, Everett threatened to quit because Chad squashed a story for personal reasons.  Isn't he doing the same thing with Leo?

Lol.  True.  Is this even a story though?  Two adults that are single spent the night together.   There are drug busts, murders, OD's, multiple baby kidnappings, etc. everyday in Salem.  Why would the readers care who Stephanie is spending her nights with?  I don't care and I watch this show on purpose every day.

Something about Leo being OBSESSED with Everett and Stephanie creeped me out more than usual.   Leo needs to go out a find the real gossip and not bother grown people about their boring relationship.

He must have taped 50 percent or more of those two episodes on the last day he worked (since he directs on Fridays) which is the last day he worked in July. So Janet must have been promoted at that point and was Co-EP when the remaining scenes of those two episodes were taped in August.

I'm a few days behind and haven't read this whole thread, but my God, Marlena looks SO thin in the face! What's going on with her? Anyone know? I hope she's okay and maybe it's just the Ozempic craze. She's very noticeably thin.

Wow, Stephanie really spoke to me with her heartfelt explanation to Everett. I feel that way right now, exactly as she described.

Hey, we finally got some follow up on Xander’s phone call

Please register in order to view this content

I wonder what this is all about and I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I hope they find a way to tie it to Sarah and the secret with Alex and Theresa somehow. This is how you write something that suddenly comes out of nowhere. You don’t just change a character.

Like with Chad today. His anti-Dimera attitude came out of nowhere, though his explanation to Johnny did make a little sense. I think it’s a good idea and I really enjoyed their scenes today, but maybe it would have more sense if Chad had tied it to Stefan and the drug stuff, instead of just Abigail’s death. I wouldn’t mind Johnny/Chanel being weaved into the drug storyline.

I’m also liking the dynamic between Brady and Alex over Theresa. They seemed to be hitting a lot of beats with this triangle and what each character brings into it and I’m liking that. Plus, it’s a lot better than a Brady/Kristen reunion.

The toast to Roman seemed really random though but I liked it lol

I think it's just bad extensions probably the clip on type.  Her hair seems to grow and become shorter episode to episode.  

Have Chad and Johnny ever been close historically?  Enough for him to ask Chad to be his best man?  And poor Chanel has no close friends.  Who's going to stand up for her?

The Xander and Stefan scenes were a bit strange and unexpected.  Overall it was pointless, but they don't ever really interact.

The toast to Roman was a bit weird, but the show rarely acknowledges he was a cop so I guess it's okay.  

Overall, just a filler episode.   We only got one update from Chad on Stephanie's love life today.

He'd be killed off in my first scene.

In fact, the show would open with Leo's body laying on the ground.

"What the hell happened to Leo?"

"I dunno.  Pizza?"

"Sounds good!"

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
