Today's episode with the party for New Eve was okay and you can tell the foreshadowing of Real Rafe return will be the wedding with Jada getting  married and real Rafe trying to stop Jada from marrying fake Rafe

Happy New Year y’all

Please register in order to view this content

Today started off a little clunky and the party was very rushed too. Some of these scenes really should’ve taken place in an earlier episode. But I liked how everything ultimately came together… except for Fake Rafe lol

Belle’s dress was a little… ehhh lol but everyone else looked good, especially Johnny, JJ and Gabi. I had no idea Belle and Chanel were the same size though

I liked seeing all the potential couples that are on track to reunite, even though I wasn’t a fan of the first few scenes between EJelle. Idk if it’s the writing or the way that Dan Feuerriegel plays it, but seeing EJ act like such a bumbling fool didn’t really work for me. He can put on a much better show than that, like he did with Gabi and JJ later in the episode. But I like that Belle wasn’t able to tell him yet that she was the new DA. I wonder how that reveal is gonna be used; if it comes out immediately

I don’t mind either way.

I also enjoyed JJ/Gabi and Philip/Stephanie too. There was still some tension between EJ and JJ/Gabi in their brief scene today. And I hope that means that their thing isn’t going to be completely dropped. EJ/Gabi doing anything together would be a good way to cause conflict for both EJelle and Jabi. 

And despite JPL’s previous acting choices, he is starting to grow on me as Philip. I think he still has some work to do but I thought he did well today. He does seem to work very well with Abigail Klein too. And I’m looking forward to the Philip/Stephanie/Alex triangle. With the new writers coming in, I imagine that it will be written on a more even playing field, instead of being so biased in favor of Alex/RSW. Plus, if both Philip and Alex are written as grey characters, maybe it’ll lead to my idea of a Stephanie/Xander situation lol 

And Johnny looked hot

I know we’re supposed to hate him right now lol but since it was obviously written that way mostly to prop Alex instead of for what he did, I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid. 

But I am looking forward to the Johnny/Chanel/Joy scenes tomorrow.

I'm wishing for a Belle/Dr Mark Greene pairing in 2025.  She needs an honest guy, who's only been to jail once.  And even though it doesn't look like the Greene family will survive for long, I like seeing some new traditions in Salem.

Just trying to get people to watch 

Did they have any chemistry in their scenes together? I can't remember.

I do agree that Mark needs to get out of prison. I like the Greenes, even though I hated that they ended up being tied to Clyde.

Did Ava ever resolve the ownership of the Bistro with Stefan being gone?  Remember right after he left, she was worried about who would sign the paychecks?  Has she resigned to only using Sophia, and providing her with high school credit in lieu of payment?

Wait, what?

Johnny stopped himself before he had sex with Joy?

Raven and Carson did a really good job in their scenes today but what? I mean yeah, he looked hot in the flashback but what was the point of keeping it a big secret from the fans and from everybody if almost nothing happened between him and Joy? Honestly, this feels like a really big letdown. I was expecting it to come out that they actually did have sex, or didn’t and that Johnny blacked out and Joy was lying about everything, in attempt to steal Johnny from Chanel. I don’t see a point to this storyline now. And also, where does Joy go from here? Is her sole purpose now just to be the next notch on Alex’s bedpost?

Speaking of Alex, I see they tried to make him the good guy and Philip the bad guy again, and again, mostly due to RSW’s portrayal, it didn’t work. It always comes off like he’s trying to manipulate the person into making them feel guilty as a way of getting what he wants from them. Like bro,

I’m still Team Philip, mostly due to the Alex propping lol I wonder what’s going to happen between him and Stephanie now that they’ve decided to go at it. And I’m wondering the same thing about JJ and Gabi too

EJ warning Fake Rafe about sleeping with Jada was a nice, modern era surprise. I didn’t know that Days (or Uncle Ron) had it in them

Maybe that was a Janet mandate. 

And as much as I would love for Fake Rafe to disappear, I find myself asking again, what’s the point to all this if he’s just gonna be off working a “big case?”

I think Johnny/Chanel struggle with the loss of LA/Allie from the canvas.   Allie would always be an easy way to cause issues for the couple even if it wasn't a love triangle.  The show doesn't seem to know what to do with this couple and they keep getting stories that go nowhere.

The Alex/Philip stuff really highlights RSW's weakness as an actor.  Say what you will about JPL, he can play “to the manor born” and seems natural in a mansion setting.  But, RSW's thick Bostonian accent always takes me out of the scene, as I expect that he'll yell “wicked pissah” in every argument.

Also, almost every party in Salem has either the worst music, or none at all, so they never seem fun.  In fact, given that something awful happens almost every New Years in Salem, you'd think they wouldn't look forward to it as much.   It's like if you're invited to one of Sami's wedding, you need to be sure to keep the gift receipt in case you need to return it.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By JAS0N47 · Posted

      It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?

        1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.

      Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
