I assume Maggie had more staff to help with cooking and cleaning, but it never made much sense that they put paralyzed Sarah in a room upstairs.  Unless Maggie has an elevator that we've never seen.

But, much like Alex after his inheritance, I think they're there to stay.

Also, while I've grown to accept that Alex and Philip are co-CEOs, does Maggie still own 50%?  Because, I don't understand why they don't need her approval for a takeover of Dimera?

So, the man who assaulted Marlena’s daughter is not welcome in her house but the man who assaulted Marlena’s grandson is welcome? Ok

And seriously, why does every episode that this creep is in have to start with him

And too make matters worse, Marlena was written like Hattie today. I’m sure all the Ron ass kissers will love it but I thought the episode was bad. Even worse than Tuesday. Treating this, and EJ holding Rafe hostage, all like a big joke was not the way to go. And, when did EJ plan all this revenge against Jada? Did I miss something or is this just a sudden half assed rewrite? They’re writing it as though he was responsible for bringing Fake Rafe back to Salem and he wasn’t. 

Did Jamey write this crap too? It seems like it. Again, April can’t get here soon enough. Days already fired one mistake, hopefully they fire the other, even worse one too. 

JJ did look hot though. His scenes with Gabi were pretty much the only part of today that were worth watching. Not only because he looked hot lol but because their scenes weren’t written like a big stupid joke. They actually felt like a classic soap couple that’s finding their way back to each other and I enjoyed that.

I'm halfway through the episode, and you're right -- it is awful. These Marlena/Leo scenes are PAINFUL. I don't know how anyone can enjoy this crap.

The story was already really bad, but Carlivati stepped up his game with the birthday hats. What is EJ's vision supposed to be here? How does he see this playing out? None of it makes any sense.

The Marlena/Leo scenes are really weird.  He's her patient not her friend.  DH was acting so oddly as Marlena.  Not like Hattie, exactly, but off.  She also could have just told Kayla about this.

Anyway, I get the impression Deidre actually really likes working with GR.  I want to blame this all on Ron, but she seems to have fun playing off Leo.  Idk, maybe knowing some sad material is coming up this type of stuff just lightens the mood a bit for her.

I don’t understand that “Jada will be exposed as corrupt” stuff that he was spewing out today either. It was like it was written just to get the episode to a manageable length. 

They had a perfect opportunity to cause conflict for Rafe/Jada over the whole commissioner thing, and also for EJ to manipulate that situation to get back at Jada for getting him ousted as DA. And they tossed it aside for this garbage.

or Kate.

I wish more had been made of the threesome of Kayla, Kate, and Marlena post thier frozen adventure.  There was so much potential for them to interact.  I'd love to see Kayla's reactions as Kate's sister-in-law.  As well as Marlena as the ex-wife.  They're a fun trio, and add in Paulina, you've got some mature, interesting, greek chorus scenes. 

For example, rather than those tortured scenes of Kristen explaining Aremid to Johnny, gather the ladies over coffee and have them reminisce about their past adventures with Rachel and her kids.  It's the Real Housewives of Salem.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
