I remember there was an odd word I hadn't heard that Vivian used for Gus, but can't think of it now. I think I probably looked it up the day she used it 15 or so years ago.
 
In regards to the "other" manservant, are you talking about the Torres bodyguard Manny? You mentioned 3/11/92, and he is in that one. Also, Lawrence had his own helper, Gregory Lacost, played by Clayton Landey, who was around before Vivian/Ivan in 1991, but who returned for 2 episodes (4/29/92 and 4/30/92)

I found the answer to the younger darkhaired servant (it was Gus) and I found the job title, it aired in Sept. 2010, and I posted all the details on the DAYS behind the scenes thread.

So, Arnold has been living at the Salem Inn since New Year's Eve?

And he doesn't wear Rafe's clothes?

And he really makes no attempt to sound like Rafe?

And, how does he know what to do as the Police Commissioner?  Is it that easy that any shmoe from Argentina can waltz in and do the job? What about Rafe's passwords and thumbprints?

Probably not

But they deserve a better story then this. So much conflict and drama could've have mined from Jada being named Commissioner or Rafe suing the city for wrongful termination. Anything would have better than Fake Rafe.

So there are so many things wrong with this fakeRafe story, but I'll just start with two on Jada's end.  

1.  She was previously married to a guy with DID and doesn't suspect a thing here in regards to a medical diagnosis or even ask Kayla about the after effects of Rafe's coma.

2. She was going to marry Rafe.  He never mentioned he once had an imposter.? Sure, everyone assumes he's dead, but that's a story I would tell my future spouse.  

So, okay Jada can't figure it out.  There are multiple people in town including Rafe's own sister who are aware Rafe has a doppelganger and no one suspects a thing.

We all know it's important to suspend belief when watching soaps. We've been doing it for years, and sometimes it's OK.

It's not OK when it goes on this long. That's when we start listing what's wrong, as you and others have done. That's a sign that this should have ended long ago.

I’m here for Shada! Just like I’m here for EJelle. Even though Jada was a bit of a dick today. Elia Cantu has a similar problem to what Lindsey Godfrey used to have. The way she plays it just comes off as so nasty sometimes. 

But I’m looking forward to seeing where these storylines and both couples play out. This could all be really good, until Shawn and Belle inevitably reunite. I just wish Shawn and Jada would have been brought together by something better than this Fake Rafe crap.

And yeah, Brandon Beemer’s eyes are beautiful

I still think that Marlena, and Belle’s family in general need to have a much bigger part in Belle’s storyline though. They’re writing her as though EJ never did anything to them. And, if they can waste her with Leo and as Hattie, they could definitely include her in all this.  

Xander and Sarah had a nice, romantic Valentine’s Day too. And the gift that Xander gave her was really sweet. I’m still liking the way their storyline is being built up. Philip moving back into the Kiriakis mansion, and Kate’s concerns about that add more dynamics to it. I really hope out this plays out until after Ron is gone. I’d love to see how the new writers handle the reveal and the fallout.

Btw, it’s about time Roman got back from Chicago

And, JJ looked hot

Him and Gabi are good together and I enjoyed their scenes today. The two of them teaming up get EJ could be really interesting, and it could lead to some good conflict for the two of them.

Is it weird to say that I felt bad for EJ today?  His relationship with Belle seems both mature and fun.  I enjoy his scenes with Arnold, and he even humanizes Kristen.  We all know what’s going to happen, and I just hope that they have written a viable way for him to get out of this mess.

It was funny seeing the adults celebrate Valentines after all the focus on Holly and Tate.  I am much more entertained by adult romance than childish relationships.  In particular, I see a real future for Jada and Shawn-D.  I just wish that there were more scenes to establish the relationship between Jada and Belle.  There are no motives to keep their relationships private, and I would appreciate it if they all treated each other like adults.

It will be interesting to see how Xander responds to learning that he's been betrayed by both his family and his wife.  I wish Maggie was more clued in (or at least suspicious).  But, it has been an excellent setup to see Xander be so well socialized, knowing that he is suppressing an anger that is seething to be let loose.

    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • 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.
