You could say that about a lot of women, lol.

But seriously. I'd never advocate dumping Deidre, especially in the wake of Drake's passing. She's as important to the show as SSH and her ride-or-die, Suzanne Rogers (kidding!). But I do believe that DAYS should give Marlena a new love interest at some point, after an appropriate mourning period, even if that relationship will always dwell in the shadow of Jarlena.

I actually wouldn't give Marlena another love interest. She's had several great loves, obviously John being the greatest, but she works fine as is. She's not as locked in as SSH is due to BH being her real life husband and that's too much, but I think it's very acceptable for Marlena to be single from now on. There is something nice about being okay with having all those years with John and being content with that one huge love story.

Might be interesting at some point for a new man to be interested in Marlena. She would have to work through that and decide if she's ready/prepared to move on. Ultimately she might decide that at this point a relationship is not what she needs.

So, the code to get into the lab is the day that Days debuted 😂😂

I still liked the way that everything was built up today. Despite some mistakes, the kidnapping storyline (and the lab storyline too) are actually interesting to me now. I didn’t even mind Rafe’s hateboner for EJ and the Dimera’s being on full display again lol mostly because of what it could lead to for his and Cat’s storyline, especially now that Cat’s confronted EJ about the kidnapping… and planted a big kiss on him. And because Rafe now found the pod in the lab. Now, if only Andrew could be a part of this.

But I don’t think we needed to see EJ and Paulina going head to head again though. Their scenes, once again, came off like they were trying to out-camp each other, which I’m not a fan of.

But I’m glad that Steve finally captured Owen. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with him next week.

And we finally saw Alex again. Making him the stubborn, dumb one that refuses to believe that anyone other than Jeremy is the kidnapper was the right decision. Not only because it could lead to some conflict for him and Stephanie once this is all over but it also plays into RSW’s acting style lol the cliffhanger with him could’ve been a little bit better though.

But the other shows have similar problems: GH must have a cosmetic dermatologist on set because (nearly) every actor regardless of age looks like they just came from a botox/filler/laser session. Faces don't move.

What bugs me about GH is that they intentionally blur everyone's faces, whether they're 70 or 17. Like, if you're trying to conceal natural aging of your cast, hell, just go back to standard definition. It bugs me; I could never watch GH on a binge without feeling like something's wrong with my eyes.

Jeanne Cooper was right: high definition is a bitch.

TBF, she's playing Paulina pretty similar to her Lily Mason stint on AW.

I agree with this, but TBF, playing her that way works better when you're 40 years younger.
