Today's episode was stupid

So fake and rapey Rafe is back. Galen cannot act so what does Days do, give him two roles. Ughh this show. 

Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans were the saving Graces for today

Arnold confessed to murdering Fay (Nicole's mother). Cornered, he agreed to go into Witness Protection and testify against the DiMeras, but while he was in jail, another inmate killed him — or so everyone thought until he returned to Salem some 13 years later and knocked on EJ’s door….

I thought this was intriguing, given how little contact Johnny and Rafe have had:

EJ was fuming over the possibility of losing his kids, and how much the children adored their stepfather only enraged him further.

Personally, what I find funny is that I recall Carolyn Hinsey writing about him in her terribly written memoir.  In my Amazon review from 2011 I wrote, It also reads as if it were written last week. I'm sure that if I go back to read this book in a year, I won't remember Rafe-2, but the story is referenced without any context.” But now I realize at least one person unfortunately remembered that plot.

Honestly, as long as the actress is willing to, let her age into the role. If they need to re-cast once she gets to her teens, then do it. But yeah, I want this to be more like Shawn-D and Will thing, not a Belle and Brady situation.

On streaming, do we no longer get the breaking of the fourth wall to wish the audience a Merry Christmas?  Or, did I just turn it off before the credits?

“From all of us at Days of Our Lives to all of you, Merry Christmas!” - in the olden days, it sent a chill of excitement up my spine, and I'm Jewish.

Bringing back Rafe2 is random as hell, but I'm surprised no one mentioned that his return probably answers the question as to how Johnny learns EJ raped Sami from the DoD promo. I'm not really mad at it, tbh. Anyway, I didn't watch HIgley's horrible reigns much, so I had no idea Rafe2 being alive was a ret-con. I just bought it as more exposition, in this case much needed, that this show loves to expound on.

To my recollection, JPL was completely subtle today. RSW is playing their newfound rivalry completely one-note ass, so maybe that's why JPL knew to tone it down. I didn't mind it with Johnny, because Johnny literally cheated on his wife, but I wish Alex could have had some nuance for the cousin (is that what they are?) he's known all his life. But yeah, I am team Philip against Xander, who I enjoy more than Alex, so literally there's no way I'm team Alex and his ugly shirts. Best he leave them off for the foreseeable. 

Paulina is so annoying. Obviously less than Leo, maybe more than Sarah depending on the day.

    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
