Wednesday episode was brilliant. Doug

Please register in order to view this content

Today's started off great with Doug and the necklace story. The rest with Stephanie and Co. was fast forward material.

Honestly, I'm really wondering if they actually did go back and clean up a bit - or just held Ron on a very short leash. Because some scenes are really like night and day  at this point. It's hard to imagine it came from the same writer.

I’ve had so many questions 

Did Ron decide to finally change his ways? Did he know his job was on the line after that Body&Soul mess and decided to be on his best behavior? Was there interference, editing, re-writing?

Even, (though this is unlikely to me) did he know he was gonna be fired and decide to go out with a bang? 

I hope we find out the answer someday

Its a day to day episode. 

Today was mostly not good. Too many of the characters I couldn't care less about. 

Wednesday's episode was solid and Doug on half naked with only a towel didn't hurt.

-- So Leo writes a gossip article for the Spectator rag and now DiMera is falling apart? Stocks are falling and vendors are leaving because of a loser gossip columnist? Soaps are so bad when it comes to business stories.

-- Janet Spellman-Drucker is really working her Google machine overtime. Those establishing shots are hilarious! About zero of them represent the set that appears right after. My new favorite is those wide wrought iron gates opening to some incredible house and land. Then we get a 6'x10' set made from cardboard.

I think they're doing a fantastic job building up the tension. Even if I didn’t know something big was coming, it feels like it’s just around the corner. Today’s episode hit the peak with so many characters fingering knives and guns—there was in fact too much fingering for my taste.

Thought #2: There’s no way Holly seriously believes Maggie would be fine with her hiding a felon in her bedroom (and using her printer to help him with his resume). Also, does this mean The Bistro has been without a maître d' ever since that creep Ava killed after he attacked her?

Thought #3: I really appreciate that they’re using Chad appropriately as a newspaper publisher. 'Muckraker Chad' has so much potential. And given that he’s already weighed appeasing his family, it could create a unique dynamic—Chad wanting The Spectator to succeed as a legacy for his kids, not wanting to get too close to EJ or Kristen, and still knowing right from wrong. He could be Salem’s version of William Randolph Hearst—Citizen Chad.  I don't get why we haven't seen anyone directly respond to Chad, (nor whether he got the mustard out of his shirt).

While I don’t usually engage in backstage drama—I prefer overthinking what's onscreen—I have to agree that the establishing shots are more distracting than helpful in setting the tone. They make me question how the DiMera entry gates looks like that, especially when two weeks ago Brady walked from the mansion to the square.  And if the gates exist, why do so many people just barge in the living room? And if Aremid is suddenly within walking distance of Rachel’s house, does that mean Alamainia is now next to Smith Island? Instead of enhancing the experience, it pulls me out of it. Not only do the interior and exterior curtains not match, but the circumstances of the plot don’t fit the urban vibe the establishing shots suggest.  I mean, that's a huge hospital to save by tap dancing fundraisers.

    • I also like how they've set up all the pieces where they could do yet another "shocking Gio parentage reveal" in another year or so if they want to. Because it's not at all implausible that teenage BLQ would have sexually experimented with both Dante and Cody. So if they want another violin-smashing moment next year, just have Gio find out that Cody is his real bio-dad.
    • I agree, also am able to see various points of view. Lulu, Lois & I think the two of them are going to rival one another for the heat they are going to take. 
    • When you think about it, someone who stayed on for as long as Devon must have some fans out there. She also had an alcohol issue. I saw a host of episodes with her and Cliff on YouTube. I wanna say that’s who Cliff was entertaining while Nina had the affair with Steve.  Do you believe she lasted so long because Brooke left and they kept recasting Nina?

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  It shows you just what a unique and memorable performer Denise Alexander was that I can see her in these moments and hear her even though I've never watched any of the material. On paper it probably wasn't up to much, but I do wish I could see her playing it. Meanwhile, the Diana material continues to seem like one plate of ass after another...I was thinking she had finally been able to move on with the therapy breakthrough, but then we're right back with her believing Peter and Leslie are having an affair. I don't know how much further off the material is that made Valerie Starrett leave, but I can't blame her.  I see less and less of Jessie anywhere in this - is this when Emily's health troubles were starting to phase her out of story? Going a few summaries back, writing out Lee, Caroline, her son and his wife seems so rushed. It's a shame Marland, or whoever, killed off all of them (aside from Lee), as they might have given Lee some story down the line. Or maybe the daughter-in-law survived too - I can't remember.
    • Thanks!  I compiled the list and posted it for the 59th anniversary in November, but just made the updates now for the couple of new cast members we've had since then! Didn't realize until I did the update that Peyton is the first-ever contract actor born in Nevada, so that's another state off the 0 list!
    • What I love about this story is that I can empathize with both Lulu's point of view AND Lois's point of view. I can understand why Lulu thinks it's important for the truth to come out and why she feels a moral obligation to let Dante know he has a son. But these good intentions have gotten all mixed up with her hatred for BLQ, and so she's going about it like a self-righteous bully who hasn't thought through all the consequences of this reveal. And I can understand Lois's thought process keeping this secret. She couldn't bear to give her grandson away to strangers, and so she arranged an adoption that kept him in the family. From her perspective, it's worked out beautifully because as Gio grew up as a "Palmieri cousin", he got to know his father Dante, his mother Brook Lynn, and his grandfather Sonny. She just had the hubris to believe that she could play God and keep the secret forever.  Maybe it's just getting to see Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright in full-on catfight mode a few days ago, but the show is starting to remind me of Guiding Light in its heyday, where most of the drama comes from the interactions of long-running characters who are likeable in some ways but have enough fatal flaws that they create their own problems. That's a sharp contrast for the way GH has generally been written since the JFP era, where most of the drama comes from external threats: supervillians, Sweeps month disasters, the mob shootout of the week. 
    • Wow, @JAS0N47, that list of states was impressive! And I never knew that James Read hailed from near me! (I was born and raised in a nearby city, about 15 minutes away!) (Liked him since he played Murphy Michaels on Remington Steele when I was a kid. As an older kid, I also loved him on North and South!)
    • Oh, I remember this vividly! So trippy to see Mike Brady as a devil-worshiping judge. LOL! (With the mustache and curly hair in some pics, Reed seemed to have a surface resemblance to early-Jeopardy Alex Trebek!)
    • This makes Karen, now this & a guy on Facebook named Brent Costel. Sony is really deleting so many files.
