So happy for Eric and his wife. :D They had to go through alot but it worked out in the end. On another note, I wouldn't want to be 45 y/o and have a kid. But that's just me, it ain't old but it's the new normal I guess. lol

Glad that the ratings are going up! Loved that promo of Lucas and Will. Can't wait :)

I have to say, Ron seems so much better at marketing the show than Dena ever was. He seems to know what will get most of the viewers to want to tune in.

I wouldn't mind that couple if it wasn't force I need Rafe to do something to affect the situation and see Hope actually care enough to fight for the relationship She doesn't even seem so into him I can accept Frankie & Jennifer If they ever decided to try that again I can even try Eve and Justin but There's just no replacement for Bo point blank period no matter how much they try..There's just no Hope without Bo and no Bo without Hope..

^well, Bo has had a couple of successful pairings when Hope wasn't there. GG just has no spark, no personality. They should have kept Aidan around.

So no end in sight for Rope even under Ron

Yeah, I don't think Hope can't be paired. But not with Rafe. They've had no spark. And their story is really, really boring without much conflict. They got together in a boring way and have stayed together in a boring way.

I think it was lysie who stated DAYS knows Rope aren't working. Maybe they don't care to try to stick Hope with another person in fear that there will be the same outcome. In a way Rope is OK as long as they don't get focus.

I don't know if it's "fear" necessarily, or if they just don't know what to do with either character if they break them up. And really, I think a breakup is more troublesome for the character of Rafe than Hope. There are things they could write for a single Hope that would be meaningful. Single Rafe? Not so much. So, I view the whole Rope pairing as more of a story safety net for Galen/Rafe than anything else, which is ridiculous. Ousting him would not be that big of a loss.

I will admit that I am slightly curious (in a non-excited way) as to how they're going to move Hope/Rafe forward. If they know they're not popular, it doesn't make sense to write a big, on-screen wedding for them. Leaving them in engagement limbo a la J/M might work, but I don't know for how long. Maybe just have an off-screen elopement? IDK.

Just kill them both. Nobody has to worry about pairing them with anyone else, and their godawful pairing is no longer stinking up the airwaves.

Sadly it appears when it comes to Rope that Ron is just as horrible as Dena. I had higher hopes for him.

The tweet would seem to suggest that Ron has at least some affinity for Rope, but...I'm not sure their staying together is entirely Ron's decision. lysie's prior comments here make it seem as though the pairing is being partially dictated by TPTB.

Who was Abe's mother? that actress looks familiar to me.
Lynn Hamilton, who played Donna on 'Sanford and Son' and Verdie on 'The Waltons'.
It's funny that two weeks or so ago, I was watching a Golden Girls rerun. Lynn Hamilton was a guest star. I thought she looked familiar but I couldn't place her. For some reason, IMDB didn't have her Days stint listed in her credits. So I just figured I recognized her from either the Waltons (although it's been eons since I watched that show) or a more recent guest starring role. Now I realize she played Abe's mom, that's probably where I remember her from. To be honest, I don't remember Abe's mom being on that much and probably only saw a couple episodes with her in it. I do remember Bumper Robinson as Jonah though. Mainly as a friend to Carrie.

Fun fact: That Golden Girls episode also had the late Rosalind Cash (Mary Mae Ward, GH) as a guest star. So two actresses who would appear on soaps as the matriarch of an African-American family.

DAYS at least had a bigger fanbase with Aiden and Hope before all of that went to hell. I also recall a lot of people hoping Vargas and Hope would get explored, but they never went there which was a shame. I think Hope could successfully be paired with someone else, they've just been making poor decisions on that front.

I wonder if he unliked it. The last thing I see in his "Likes" is a post about Big Brother that uses a Mitch Laurence OLTL gif.

ETA - Actually its entirely possible the post is from someone that has me blocked since they're a Rope fan. So there'd be no way for me to see that in his likes.

I think TPTB know that Rope sucks. There are no other options for them, so they are stuck together. The Stefano shooting and coverup, lack of chemistry, and Bo's gifting of Hope to Rafe killed anything between them before they even officially started dating.

I could've liked Vope.

Hope and Rafe as a couple are just "ok" there is no WOW factor. I actually think they do have chemistry, it's how they got to where they are now that I have a problem.

Rafe(much like the Daniel Jonahs character) suffers from this self-righteous/does no wrong persona to the point it's sickening. It leaves you wondering "what did he really do, where he deserves to be put on this kind of pedestal. A part of the success with the Hope/Aiden pairing is the fact there was conflict with these two right out of the gate. KA does really well(quite believable) when she's in stories where she has conflicts with a love interest...back in the day Hope was represented as coming from this old school proper family(the Hortons), while Bo was represented as a rebel in his well to do family upbringing, this was why Bo and Hope worked well together and this is exactly what's missing in the Rafe/Hope equation.

The other problem I have is the very poor character development with Hope. Once Hope shot Stefano, that should have been followed by Hope resigning from the SPD...not only would that be the logical move for Hope(and the writers), it would have given JJ and Lani a little work.

Agree with most of your post.

However .... I have a comment on this part
"back in the day Hope was represented as coming from this old school proper family(the Hortons), while Bo was represented as a rebel in his well to do family upbringing"

Bo didn't have well-to-do family upbringing.
Bo was actually a rebel in his working-class Irish-American family who ran the local fish market.

Hope was the grandson of the chief of staff of the hospital, Tom Horton, and she had more proper upbringing; but actually Tom and Alice didn't worry about appearances. But they did have prestige.

It's interesting that Kayla's career changed through the decades.
She began as a working-class nurse and worked at the riverfront clinic for low-income patients.
Kayla is now a doctor with the prestige of being the hospital chief of staff. But Kayla never took on any affectations of class superiority. She still sees herself as a regular citizen. I think she's still working-class at heart.

While I agree that Kayla hasn't changed her essential nature over the years, I'm not sure it's really a class thing. I mean, Salem doesn't have those distinctions anymore. Some folks may be richer than others, but nobody is depicted as "working class" in any meaningful way. Nobody is struggling to pay the rent or mortgage or scared of losing a business or wondering how they are going to pay for a hospital bill.

So, I really don't know if Kayla is "working class" at heart because I don't think that has any meaning on the show anymore.
