So, I did remember correctly. Thanks!

I hope we get a twist or something and this lady turns out not to be Rachel Blake.

Now I'm curious how she got over those mountains, that are in danger of having an avalanche

Those scenes were the saving grace of today's episode.

So, that's why Stefano kidnapped a priest and turned him into Roman... before it was retconned 

I always wondered what the original explanation was.

It's kind of a scam if Marlena charges Julie for therapy.

It wasn't like she used her specialized hypnosis powers, or prescribed meds.  She is just talking like they would if Marlena went over to the Horton House for tea.  And considering Marlena got Doug possessed by the devil, you'd think she would offer her services gratis.

Note: I know Doug was possessed first, but the devil wouldn't have been in Salem if it wasn't looking for Marlena...

I'm caught up now as far as Thursday.

I can't believe it but Sofia's mother is just such a witch & also it's not about best situation for her daughter, no to her this is about ideology!

I've said this before. It's even truer now. Onward to Friday's show.

IIRC, this retcon was the one Drake had the most issue with.  It went directly against what aired with John getting his name from a Vietnam War Memorial plaque in 1986.   I am sure over the years as the retcons got sillier he probably just gave up on accuracy, but this is the only retcon I remember Drake speaking out about.

If he gave up, I don't blame him

And all it would have taken was just a little bit more research on JER's part. They could've even written a scene, in 1996, where John spoke with Marlena about getting the name from the plaque and thinking that he picked the name 'John Black' because, subconsciously, the name John rang a bell. 

Sally Sussman Morina kinda screwed things up more than anyone

@carolineg, @AbcNbc247 it's simple, John was an adopted, almost drowned, jewel thieving, ninja warrior, Catholic priest, who was hypnotized into going to Greece to fake the killing of a woman's child, and then assumed the identity of a small-town cop.  I don't know why we think anyone messed up the continuity?

The original Rachel Blake seemed like a decent person who had suffered a lot, and Marlena tried to help her.

Kristen and Peter Blake were sociopaths who considered killing their mother Rachel Blake because she was in the way of their plans, but they were interrupted and didn't follow through.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
