They don't even have a kitchen lol.  This penthouse logistically makes no sense.  Is every other room in the house just attached to one long hallway?

The worst part for me is that I had no warning.  One day she just mentioned to John off handedly that she sold it.  I never got to say goodbye!!

Since Steve and Kayla's house is basically the same set with a kitchen I wish the show could have figured out a way to keep the OG penthouse and use it for multiple sets. I remember hearing it was just too large, but I honestly wouldn't care if they used it for several different couples.  It's better than what we have now.

Was the arched wooden doorway with the wrought iron peephole in Marlena's penthouse?  It was memorable, but seemed out of place with the rest of the architecture. 

Also, remember the silly scene in the Melaswen plot when Doc fell from the balcony of her penthouse on the Friday cliffhanger, but landed on an awning?

Yes, Marlena had the wooden door with the peephole.  I loved that touch.  I never thought it was out of place with the rest of the set, but I hated the painting she had right by the door.  It was like Madonna and child or something.  It was ugly.

I thought Marlena fell on Sami when she fell from the balcony lol.  It is possible those were two separate penthouse falls though.

For nearly 4 decades, Marlena Evans and I have loved the same man. Marlena’s John is an iconic hero, and unfailingly rescuing her from all matter of villains. My acting partner was incredibly professional from the moment he entered the studio; flawless in his preparation and ready for any eventuality in any scene. He was gracious and kind to everyone, from the executive staff to the night crew. Drake loved what he did and adored and respected everyone with whom he did it. Having said that, we always knew that his two greatest loves were his family and the Yankees. Victoria and their children were truly the center of his life. Drake is dearly loved by everyone who ever knew him and he will be missed beyond measure. We will continue, as he always encouraged us, to swing for the fences.

Many of the current and former cast commented on Deidre's IG post.

    • 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.
