It bears repeating, Drake always told the best stories.

A kind and gentle person, we’d always have a laugh when we were working together, often laughing until my sides hurt.

I remember, back in the 80s, there was a flirtation between “Roman” and Adrienne when we worked together at the construction company, and Drake had to dance around “constructing” in a sweaty tank top to the song “Macho Man”… in Salem… in the winter. He was hilarious and approached it with gusto and happy enthusiasm, as he did everything.

He was a man who took his work seriously, but never himself. He was always game for anything and such a joy to be around. He made the world around him a funnier, better, sweeter place… the light will never be as bright again…

And he was a Yankee! I was a fan from the minute I met him

Beautiful Judi. He was an original-no one like him. You’re so right, he took his work seriously, but never himself. Something I will try to carry forward.

“He took his work seriously, but never himself.” So true. Game for anything. Always found the fun in everything. The joy. 🩷

This shows the irripressable joy that our dear friend brought to his work every, single day. No doubt he spent a long time perfecting the hammer routine. Thank you for this, Judi

I think Adrienne and possibly Justin owned a construction company.  I have no idea why RoJohn would be helping out with all this, but I think 1987 is probably a good place to start by year at the very least.  This is post-marriage and it seems post-Justin/Adrienne moving out and before Victor was shot and before Emilio I believe so it narrows down the time frame a bit.  Late 1987 is where I would place it.

At some angles the home looks a bit like RoJohn/Roman/Marlena's house that was destroyed by Orpheus's bomb, but when John called Adrienne "boss" I assumed it wasn't the same set.

I happen to have the 1988-1990 scene logs typed out for every episode. I just searched scenes listing (Adrienne, Roman) or (Roman, Adrienne) and got a hit on this one, so this looks to be it: 12/21/89

12/21/89 Scene-By-Scene:
Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Hank, Roman)
Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Jack, Victor, Maid Rhonda)

Yeah.  When I looked at the 12/21 episode John/Adrienne were talking about some keys John had stolen for, Idk, spy reasons?  It did look like they were vaguely testing RoJohn/Adrienne though because John was involved? with Whitney Baker the psychiatrist that looked like Marlena and Isabella was teased with Jack.

I was close though! Sorry, I missed that in my quick search of the records. I guess I saw a scene with just Roman and Adrienne alone and figured that was it.

    • Mm-hmm; this is why the storyline, despite some standout performances, is an absolute mess. History of what we've seen played out is being ignored by the so-called historian "Elizabeth Korte" for their own storied history. Treating audiences like they're morons (well...) is not going to help your case.
    • I never watched the prior Brook Lynn actresses, except for Briana Lane's brief stint.  So I'm primarily familiar with Amanda's Brook Lynn. I did watch Lois and Ned decades ago when they first met and he was Eddie Maine.  I do remember Lois wanting honesty and feeling weird about Quartermaine nonsense.  I don't remember the details because I was watching it on live broadcast and it was so long ago, but I do remember in general what their characterizations were back then, (and that Wally was hot back then). There were many years I didn't watch GH at all because I objected to the mobster stuff.  So I have missed a lot.
    • That was weird because I wasn't sure if Doug saw them or not.  Both Johnny and Tate's backs were turned, but Doug 3 obviously knows Tate.  He didn't really react, so I am assuming he didn't see who she pointed out clearly. I got you!!  Lol.  You've already blamed this Days experiment of yours on me so the least I can do is answer your questions.
    • Yes, I am sure not everyone remembers Brook Lynn's romance with the Text Message Killer or her foray into being a paid escort first by Carly and then by Nik.  Those two examples you cited are when Amanda was actually in the role and are relatively recent.
    • These things especially make the retcon weird.  I mean all of the examples you cited, but especially those.
    • May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long. (for returning viewers, she's the current Gabi -- mother of Will&Sonny's daughter Arianna.  Cherie has been airing since June 2024). This was previously was posted on the spoiler thread because it mentioned the casting of Marissa Reyes as SORASed Arianna Horton, and the recent scene where Gabi noticed Arianna wasn't in her room. Now that all of this has aired, I'm bringing it over to the main thread, as there are no spoilers anymore. Cherie is 40.  Marissa is 21, playing an 18-year-old.  Cherie is aware that they look more like sisters than mother/daughter.  Interestingly, Cherie said that in real life, her own mother was a teen when Cherie was born, and that people commonly mistake Cherie and her mom as sisters. Most of the interview is about Cherie as Gabi, getting cast, working with Brandon Barash, working with Casey Moss.

    • So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?

    • I preferred the Devil spawn delivery of the previous Rachel. She felt like the perfect child of Kristen DiMera and all the dysfunction she’s been through. The new actress is just a sweet girl.
    • I just read a new post where PersonB was quoting personA and I wanted to comment on the post so I started to quote ... with  I myself as the PersonC. I tried to quote what PersonB quoted from PersonA.  It should have been attributed to PersonA, but before submitting the post, I checked to see how it would display, and it automatically misatributed PersonA's words to PersonB.  So I didn't click to submit the post. So yes this is an ongoing glitch. I will need to take the time to go back and find the original post from PersonA to quote that.
