Yeah, I just thought about that, he's Allie's Grandfather and her step-Grandfather.  Family tree makers in Salem must have a very difficult time (also, lesson learned, even with emojis it is difficult to imply irony in a written post).

I guess, but I still think the show needs a good villain, and especially a villain that doesn’t just pop in every few months to be annoying, like Clyde. And EJ seems to be in the best position for that at the moment. 

I actually wouldn’t even mind Days going all out and turning Eric and EJ into the new Roman and Stefano. 

Yep.

Most of Salem is related to people on both sides of their family

It's intriguing because Daniel Feuerriegel is exactly 10 years younger than Joe Moscolo was when he premiered as Stefano (even though Stefano seemed so old when I was a kid).  So, if they would allow everyone to age naturally, rather than using them in stories about babies and other 30-something topics, he could easily embrace the full-on villain and still be romantically viable.

I guess Johnny would be a few younger than Tony was in 1984, but he could also repeat the conflicted eldest son role in the family.   And Chanel is a natural next gen Anna-type (minus the bad mothering traits).

It begs the age-old question of how famous these people are amongst Salem-ites.  Much like the superheros in comic book movies.  They're in the news regularly, but strangers don't seem to recognize them.

I mean, normally, nobody would read about a high school couple's romantic woes in a gossip column.  But, Holly is the step-daughter of one of the wealthiest families in town, and she just emerged from a coma that may have been in the paper.  Also, she's dating the young man who was falsely accused of drugging her, and that created a scandal that required the D.A. to have a press conference.  So, there is some salacious value in those pictures.

However, given that the embattled Mayor just fired the DA, you'd think there was plenty of other news to read about in The Spectator.

Watching..

Holly and Tate have become so boring due to the writing and recast of Tate.

The stuff with Leo is ridiculous and it's just being done to give Greg Rikaart more unnecessary airtime.

Today seemed very Ron-like. I guess this means that the scab writing is over. 

That being said, idk why but I kinda felt bad for Sloan today. I’m curious to see where she’s gonna go from here. I got a lot of fanfiction ideas lol 

I’m still a little cautious about Chad’s storyline though. I liked his scenes today and I hope he ends up bringing EJ and Steve into it somehow, but it just feels weird. I think we all know what they’re going to do, but why the rewrite? The original explanation for Abigail’s death was weak and lousy and stunk of a mid story rewrite, so maybe that has something to do with it. I’ve always wondered why it was written like that.

As for Everett, I’m not a big fan of his storyline but I’m interested in him punching out Eric today, why he did it and what it means for his relationship with Stephanie.

And btw, Stephanie being besties with the guy who sexually assaulted half of the men in her family will never make sense.

I feel like I've stumbled onto one of those extra feeds that Big Brother fans used to watch. Only this is the #DAYSAllLeoAllTheTime alternate feed! Where oh where is my ordinary DAYS?!! 

I have no pity for Sloan. I am not at all curious about what is to befall her. I don't blame the actress. In fact, I think she's doing a good job & is better than she was, say, a year ago. I'm just not very interested, I guess. 

The only thing that makes me thing Captain Ron is at the helm is the upped Leo factor!

I just don't exactly understand what Chad is after. A better reason for Abby to be dead?!! 

That sucker punch really landed, hard! I think I heard it. THUNK. 

Wait. Who assaulted whom? I don't understand Stephanie. Still! Or maybe Again! Why is she with BobEverett? I will say, though, that the actor, Blake, is doing a good job with the material.

Here's what I liked today, I prefer when male characters are wise to the attitudes of their partners.  So, I will give points to Roman for being able to correctly figure out Kate's feelings.

I will also give credit to the Abby story, because last year's resolution to that tale felt hollow, so if we are learning the actual motive to the murder, that is a good thing.

I feel like we're building toward the finale of Harris, which will have repercussions on the Kate and Ava relationship.  I have no idea about the cause of animosity between the two women.  But, Kate saying that Harris could free Lucas, and increased focus on Clyde's whereabouts does not bode well for everyone's favorite formerly brainwashed Seal/currently oldest police rookie.

What I didn't like was EJ flip-flopping on raising Eric's son simply because he saw a drunk Nicole make a pass at Eric.  Also, last week he was offering Leo a lifelong pay-off, and today Sloan got the same offer.  But, where's EJ getting all of this money?

Poor Zach!

Woke up to my car broken into and ransacked. Wallet, registration, thousands of dollars worth of belongings. All gone. Don’t really know what to say, besides I hope the piece of human garbage who did this trips into a pile of [!@#$%^&*].

God, it's been so long. Also there were parts I didn't see. (On a break) I know he wronged Sonny & he was a gold-digger with Craig. I likely don't know about Will but I should recall Tripp & Johnny, but I just don't. Thinking about Leo makes my brain tired. And I know with Uncle Ron back it's gonna be more & more of him. His quoting Shakespeare set my teeth on edge & I was an English major in a former life!

    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.
