Just for my own part, I didn't mean to make or indulge in any kind of comparison between actors. I do know that MR has been ragged on a lot here in her third run for her looks though, she has been called variations of old lady/granny/hag more than once. My only input was basically to go, "Yeah she looks older, so what?" I think it'd be better for everyone to see more natural examples of looking older on television, I think media is powerful and shapes a lot of attitudes subconsciously and if I had my druthers it'd say that there's just nothing wrong with being older. It's totally natural. Everyone here who's currently in their 20's and 30's (a group of which I am a member) will one day be in their 50's and 60's, barring tragedy, and I think it's better to just not see it as the end of the world.

I've also said before that I don't think it's totally fair to harp on Dee's work, given how harsh standards are (even though they shouldn't be) for women and their looks. And I've always thought she's had pretty good work done as far as that goes.

As for MR, in the future, who knows, she might be a cosmetic surgery nightmare, but I hope not, and I hope she doesn't get the message that fans demand that. It's really no big deal IMO.
It may not help it, but I think that comes more from her hair and styling than anything. But I don't disagree with you in general at at all. I think even on a bad day (and I don't mean a bad appearance day), Missy has a spark in her eye, that for me gives her kind of a youthful glow. Christie Clark has a similar thing.


All of this is coming from the person who thinks Deidre's old lady hands are just great. :shrug:

I think MR could stand to take care of her hair better, that said brittle hair is a part of aging. I figure she works out in the sun on her farm a lot and sun really does age you more quickly. I do care way more about how much joie de vivre is in the writing of her character than about how much jojoba oil is in her hair treatment though.

I also don't really get the big deal about Dee's hair or her wardrobe, but then I think I've established that I have a different taste in clothes than many here.

ETA: Also everyone knows how much I love Julie, but I definitely do find her cosmetic work distracting, Doug's too but a little less so. At some point that much smoothness just hits my uncanny valley range.

No they can still be, I mean Marlena is probably a decade older than Kayla, but I think John and Steve are about the same age (SN is actually 2 yrs older than DHim), Roman being Marlena's age (a bit older) and Bo of course being the youngest of the the 4 men. It can just be explained as Shawn and Belle having a kid at a really young age, maybe right after High School which isn't necessarily a lie since they graduated in 2002 (18) and Belle gave birth in 2005 (21), so there we go. As for S/K with Joey they had him while they were in their late 40s in 2008. and there we go lol!! Plus Joey and Claire are only 3 years apart.

That would camp Hope, Carly, Isabella, and Kristen in the same age range with Jennifer and Billie being a bit younger since after all Billie is younger than Austin... even though that never made sense because of the Austin/Carrie relationship!! ^o)

Oldest to youngest

Roman/Marlena

Shane/Kimberly/John/Steve

Kayla/Bo

Hope/Carly/Kristen/Isabella

Jennifer/Billie

I think Steve is intended to be be younger than John though. Regardless of their real life ages. Because bo and Steve were merchant marines together and John as Roman was much older than bo.

I agree Marlena is a good decade older than Kayla.
Oh right! I forgot about Steve and Bo's Merchant Marine days but I do remember his tombstone in 2006 saying he was born in 1955 and Bo is from 1962 which makes him a bit older than Bo. But yeah John is probably older than Steve.

I'm sorry but I will never buy DH/John as being the same age as WN/Roman!! there is no way, especially not back in the 1990s when Drake looked so fresh in his late 30's to early 40s while WN already looked like he was ready to go into his 50s!!! Yes John was brainwashed to be Roman and we can say that the plastic surgery made him fresher and younger but there is no way they were the same age!!! Especially not with JT's Roman either. Every time I saw John and Bo or even as RoJohn and Bo it was very clear they were close in age. PR always looked a bit younger and he is 2 yrs younger than DH but I'll never buy him as being the same age as WN/JT's Romans.

Why does Orpheus have his hands on Kayla's breast!? What a perv!! :roflol: I'd expect this from Andre but not Orpheus.

How long has Orpheus been out of the morgue? It's amazing how he got that magic show and coffins set to go before anyone noticed a body missing.

The thing is... Deidre ages beautifully. She has always looked younger than her age and well, drake and Dee look very much the same age at the moment.

True Dee and Drake really do look the same age now and have for a while now, but the thing is that Wayne and Josh have ALWAYS looked older than Dee which is why I can't buy John being their age. WN looks horrible nowadays, he aged really badly and JT is just very weird looking. SN looks great though, he's older than Drake but looks younger.

Patch thinks the missing body could be a Halloween prank? Why aren't they thinking about the fact that Orpheus' body is in that morgue and could be the body that's missing?

Rafe says he's "too virile" to wear a costume? Bahaha.

LOL at the big guy in the flower costume. That extra has no problem being too virile to wear a costume :D

Andre sure swooped in out of nowhere yet still able to eavesdrop.


The real question is how do you receive a report that a body is missing from the morgue without any id of tbe missing body in question?
One would guess that as soon as the body was missing someone knew which body was in fact missing
this is what I thought..."There's a body missing...whose?

It's not Botox why many veterans look "unnatural", they have much more serious work done to their faces IMO.
Nah. It's the fillers, which aren't particularly serious either. When it's fresh, though, it looks weird sometimes. I don't think the more serious stuff is as much of an issue as people think. I think for the 60+ crowd it's just gotten to the point that they clearly should have more wrinkles than they do, so they look weird. It worked okay when they were younger, but like...at some point you have to age. Though, as I've said many times, IMO most of them do actually look really good in person. And not nearly as smooth and wrinkle-less. It's weird.
The thing that I notice most is how puffy KA's cheeks are & how thin the rest of her face is. Her neck & chest look really bad. If she'd gain 10-15 lbs, she'd look SO much better, IMO.

Sometimes LK has that fake, puffiness to her cheeks too & Dee's eyes sometimes look too squinty, but since they aren't rail thin & underweight, it's not as startling.

Fun episode!

Loved John and Steve chuckling over the missing body in the morgue. Andre's glee at shedding some light at the Halloween festivities and Rafe being grumpy about wearing a skirt while Roman teased him. Really cute stuff!

Joey's costume was hilarious and fit him perfectly. The girl's bickering didn't play all that well because VJ is still weak in her role. But, I did like they put Ciara in Hope's old police uniform especially with Hope's reveal about to take place.

I love Orpheus is back for one last blast. So clever to make him a magician to capture the women!

The best part is that Dena and Ryan wrote Halloween as the backdrop. Holidays and costumes make the show feel more personal and fun. Yes, the budget is tight and it can't be what it was in the glory years, but this was great. I can't wait to see the continuation on Monday. Boy, does it feel good to say that about Days!

I would imagine Lazlo had it all worked out. This was probably part of Orpheus' s plan.

Face it most of the media has had some work done. Problems start when one has too much cosmetic work done. Its generally a matter of degree. Of course it also helps that some have better genes than others.

And Hope WISHES she was as cool as Cleopatra as Marlena was.

Did anyone else feel like they were laying it on too thick with all the "Hope is so beautiful" comments today? Now, I've always thought KA was one of the most beautiful women ever, but it was so strange hearing it over & over today.
I think they were just hyping Hope up in general, considering what was about to happen. I thought it worked. Today felt like a real soap opera to me.
Really? It felt like every other Hope-oriented episode lately to me.

I am sorry but I want Hope exposed. She killed an unarmed man. Stefano was an ass most times, but she murdered him in cold blood.
Stephano was more than an ass. He plotted to have Hope killed.

Thank you JCP.

He also had Steve brainwashed and tortured off and on for years to keep him from remembering Kayla and letting him go back home.

John was fighting him all the time with Steffy trying to use him as a pawn.

No one is unaware of what all Stefano has done. That just wasn't what led to Hope killing him.

I was hoping for a flashback (or at least a reference) to Julie and Doug dressing up like Cleopatra and Antony (or maybe it was Caesar) during their 1976 honeymoon in "Italy."

I'm sure Julie's Cleopatra was/is the best looking one this show has ever had in my humble opinion.
