They didn’t waste any time with NuGabi, didn’t they lol but at least she got Stefan to finally get rid of the mustache

Today was very… ehhhh though. 

Tate being sent off to camp and him and Holly possibly running away together doesn’t seem all that interesting though. I still say they should use Brady and Theresa’s night together and Theresa being engaged to Alex to cause problems between Tate and them, and also between him and Holly. That could have been good, especially if they somehow bring Aaron and Sophia into it too. 

Same can be said for Ava and Melinda being offered jobs at Dimera. It’s just not interesting. 

I did like the Holly/Eric scenes though. They have such a good relationship and it’s kinda that that’s not going to be played into the storyline anymore.

Meanwhile, I'd kind of be there for the return of Brian.

It's always been ironic to me that Brian (the stuffy one) was played by an actor in the band Dogstar with Keanu Reeves, and Tanner (the rebel) was played by a comic book nerd. 

You can't judge a book by its cover…

I actually liked Brian lol.  Much more than Tanner.   I don't even think Molly/Tanner were that bad.  It was just the propping and Julie spent like all of 1992 just trying to get them together and that felt like a real waste of a legendary character lol.

I think she lacks some of CB's innate charisma, but she isn't bad

And besides, knowing Ron he’d bring Tanner back but he’d suddenly be a vampire.

Btw, wtf was this nonsense at the end of the article about having him be Jack and Steve’s brother as a way to bring him back into the show?

Didn't Vern and Jo actually get married? He appeared with her in the 2000s a few times. So Tanner has actually been Jack and Steve's step-brother for like 30 years... meaning there would be no need for some convoluted retcon because they are family, for all intents and purposes. Not that we need Tanner or Easton.

OK, Holly's line about either being grounded or in a coma all year was pretty funny.  But, how is she grounded if she's at the pub?

It does get to the point that certain people interact so infrequently that I don't know how they feel about each other.  For example, Ava and Kristen, do they have any reason to hate each other?  I have no memory of their relationship.  I know Kristen was close with Lani, but now she doesn't care when Lani comes to visit Salem.  Meanwhile, I'm glad Ava's not going to work at the Pub, although did she even put in a full week's work?  And is she still going to live there?

And now Melinda reminds us that she doesn't like Kristen because she killed her daughter.  But, nobody seems to hold it over Lani's head that she killed Stefan.  I guess resurrection and an out-of-town jail sentence cures all wounds.

Finally, jokes aside, we know that writers don't hire actors and cast characters, right?  I mean, they're busy enough and the union wouldn't allow it.

I liked her… for a while lol the writing didn’t do her any favors these last few years. Gabi went from a young grey heroine to a heartless monster that seemed to get off on other people’s pain and misery. To the point that I thought Nick was a prince, compared to all the things Gabi had done and didn’t care at all that she went to prison for a crime that she didn’t commit. 

We’ll see what happens with NuGabi lol 

I don’t like it either lol 

And I did seem some chemistry with BB too

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
