JP should be gone by May but returns in the fall.

I always said Ron has writing talent.

As for Jamey, anyone could do what he did to get where he is

I’m worried he’ll be part of it. 

And try to inject stupid stuff into it like he did with Liz/Marie at Doug’s 

Guess we can put them on the list of actors who’ve spoken out now that Ron is gone

[ranger1rg]

I doubt if Jamey did any more of that than Ron did.

[TEdgeofNight]

I'd put them in a list of actors who want to keep their job by butt kissing.

Today was very flashback heavy, but if it means that this Fake Rafe stuff is finally ending and leading into something better like Shawn/Jada/Rafe or EJ vs. Gabi and JJ, I’m all for it lol kinda feel bad for Shawn though. I’m curious to see where he’s gonna go from here. 

I was really impressed by EJ/Dan Feuerriegel today. He played it like an actual villain, rather than some campy clown, which is exactly the why that he always should play it. And I was liking the way that this part of the storyline is building up. It’s starting to seem a lot more clever and well thought out than what we’ve seen over the past few months. 

And yeah… Stephanie/Alex/Joy isn’t as interesting as Philip/Stephanie/Alex. JJ meeting Joy and finding out about the possible baby could be interesting though.

But, all the Body&Soul talk was unnecessary.

They were actually not that keen on the new writers. They were cautiously optimistic I'd say. Paul was pleased that other storylines bleed into his own as they should rather than Xander staying in his bubble.

It was very telling that only three actors publicly lamented Ron's firing: Ron W, Greg R and Julie D. Linsey G is very vocal in interviews about hating her current story and struggling to make sense of Sarah's logic.

I tuned out after Doug's death and was on a hiatus before that. The stories were the typical Ron nonsensical fair, but the Body &Soul tripe broke me. 

I'll give the show a chance once the new writers come on board in April. I want to see how they handle John's goodbye. Still cant believe Drake is gone and the Jarlena love story is coming to an end. 

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah, that definitely says something.

RSW and GR were no surprise considering Ron’s obsession with them. Hell, I would’ve been insulted on Ron’s behalf if they hadn’t said anything

As for Julie Dove, maybe she was fine with the way her character was written, but personally, I feel she deserved better.

Welcome!

It’ll be good to see more people in here after Ron leaves

[asafi]

Hey everyone! Any word on when John's memorial will be happening? Also curious about who's planning to come back for it?

May or June. And just about everybody

I hate that Rita didn't get a chance to say where Arnold is to EJ.

I hate that Gabi can grab Rafe's gun because he doesn't keep it locked up.

Furthermore, I hate chem testing Joy with every guy on the show (btw, I'm betting she's sick, not pregnant).

On the other hand, this plot has given Galen Gering a time to shine.  His humor as Arnold, his charm when talking to Jada today, the fact that they've stopped dying his eyebrows; it all works for me. 

I also appreciate that Shawn and JJ are adequate at their jobs.  It makes no sense that Shawn would interrogate a witness on his own.  But, I'm pleased that Shawn has not reverted to form and tried to date the stripper.

[ranger1rg]

I've decided I'm not crazy about Joy. She can leave any time. She doesn't read as someone who's qualified to do anything but act on a terrible soap opera.

I think Galen did a nice job with Arnold, but it's gone on too long -- to the point where everyone else looks ridiculous.

 

[Antoyne]

Is it worth me getting caught up? I’m about two weeks behind. I really only care about Belle having egg on her face for trusting the man that raped her sister among other things.

[Michael]

He generally plays sarcastic or smug pretty well. He injects some life into it. They should've made Rafe a caustic [!@#$%^&*] heading up the Salem PD, without leading man storylines, and commenting on everyone else's idiocy long ago. 

I'll go a step further and say -- which I can't believe I'm doing -- that Galen did a nice job selling Rafe's love for Jada in those reunion scenes today. I like Jada fine, but I've never felt any kind of heat between them or attachment to them, but today had something that kinda worked. Go figure.
