We’ve known this was coming for almost a year and I’m still not ready 😥

I thought I'd be prepared by now but nope.  😭

Yeah, Doug was the man. Doug and Julie, soap's greatest love story. This is going to be difficult.

Yeah, I'm going to have to skip this. I just lost my dad on the 10th, and this is just too fresh for me. Maybe I'll go back and watch clips much later on if they are available.

I know we've known this was coming & I didn't think about how I'd feel & I fear I'm not nearly ready, but will I ever be? Julie was my 1st crush. Doug & Julie were my first couple. They're the gold standard of couples. DAYS HayesandHayes

Given their iconic song, I thought the last line should have been, “I'll be loving you always....”

"The Most Beautiful Girl" 

"The Look of Love"

I'll have to pass. Considering the filming schedule, why on earth did they choose to air this during the holidays. It would've been better to wait for Jan/Feb.

SSH praised the material so either Ron behaved in the writer's room for a few weeks or Jeanne Ford, Fran Myers and others who've been there decades kept it honest.  I might actually subscribe to peacock to watch through the holidays then peek in and out until Ron's final weeks in March/early /April. Last week the show filmed Sept 1 2025 episode so they are way ahead with PC/JF material.  

Wow as others have said we knew this was coming but wow. And honestly I have to say I’m so glad it’s Missy as Jennifer delivering the news to Hope. It wouldn’t work with anyone else playing Jennifer in that moment.
