I mean I really hope so. Still kinda amazed though that it would get by Standards & Practices. A pair that was talked about that I could see it was Jacob Young & that guy who kept changing what name he went by Someone Martines at least part of the time, but at any rate Jacob was playing Lucky & this other guy was playing Nikolas. -

Excellent explication. That doing it in these two examples, is not like doing it in other similar genres or franchises, so one could easily postulate that the people who hire do not generally consider "newbies" but instead insist upon experienced people, which leads to rehiring rather than hiring from "outside" which is what your closed system is all about. When you think about it how many people can you name who did soaps who came from outside? I can only think of 3 HWs : Pete Lemay, Hogan Sheffer & Michael Malone. For EPs only 2: Wendy Riche & Linda Gottlieb -
I saw some people mentioning this and I was curious too - did Bo already know Caroline was dead? Maybe they decided it was too much for Bo to process losing Caroline along with Victor and Doug. -
@asafi Thanks for sharing. A nice milestone. I'm not sure if she is referring to just DAYS, as otherwise she isn't alone (Ken Barlow and Rita Fairclough on Corrie are two others).

Someone making that must have had a laugh. I have to admit I never saw any chemistry between them.

That'a an interesting comparison, and might be a parallel. But i also know too little about sports to really comment on it's accuracy. It might have something to do with a "closed" system, and the consuming nature of producing or writing a daytime drama and coaching. Both in football and daytime, those factors make it hard for new talent to break into the system. And even a very talented coach or daytime writer or executive producer can only do one team (or one show) at a time, limiting that person's impact on the entire system. -
Despite most of John’s family not being in this episode, I like that the ripple effects of his death are still being felt across Salem. Welcome back, Jack and Jennifer! I really enjoyed their scenes with Julie. Little family moments like that on soaps are always a good thing. And I agree, Julie. As great as it is to see everybody, I wish it was for a better occasion too. I’m glad that we finally got Tate’s POV regarding John, though his scene with Cat did seem a little random. But I love that Holly rushed to the apartment to comfort him after she found out about John. Despite everything and despite the chemistry that they have with other characters, I like the two of them together. Btw, is Cat looking so closely at the pictures of John and Sami going to mean something in the future? Her date with Chad seemed a little unnecessary though. I also do like the idea of Ari and Holly being friends, mostly because of the mess that it could lead to with Doug III. Tying that mess together with Tate, Sophia, the baby and the guy stalking Doug III could all be pretty good. And yeah, we really should’ve seen Ari talking to Will about John. Hopefully, they have scenes together coming up. And also, Doug III still needs someone much better to confide in about his problems Speaking of that someone, we’re really lucky that Ron was sent packing before John’s death was written because y’all know that if Ron was writing it, Leo would’ve been front and center in all of this, and comforting his “bestie” MarlenaPlease register in order to view this content
His scenes with Jack were unnecessary too. Honestly, Jack should be beating the holy hell out of him for what he did to Gwen. And, I’m really interested in the mystery of who Gabi heard EJ arguing with the night he was shot. I don’t think it was Johnny. -

Remember when we used to talk about homoerotic subtext on GH? Like this Bromance? Sonny & Jason! I remain somewhat amazed that ABC used it as a promo https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3fKzjJyy4/ -
To be honest, moving Murder, She Wrote to Thursdays probably did seem like a good attempt at counterprogramming (they did the same thing with some success with Diagnosis: Murder the next season). They had hoped it would appeal to a different audience to the Friends juggernaut and wouldn't crash in the way it did. They also programmed Mary Tyler Moore's new show after it, so they clearly went with a "vibe" for the evening. With that said, I think MSW just have that end of the weekend vibe. Something you'd cosy up on Sunday evening while preparing for a new dreaded week. -
