I thought the Halloween thing was fairly entertaining. I did think it was interesting that the S&K one played different than the others. All the others had a definite campy/OTT aspect with Princess Gina bagging on Rafe, Serena and the elephant, and Paige dogging JJ about cheating on her. But the S&K one was played pretty straight. It all worked for me, so it's not a complaint, just an observation. While Kayla's been in danger a lot over the years, Steve's never had to actually face the idea that she was dead, so it that was different. Not sure I love that deadKayla was apologizing to him, but I guess that's par for the course these days. All in all, it was a nice way to acknowledge the day and do something a little different. |

:hail: Exactly. I enjoy the show now that he's been here for a while more than I did with Higley. I keep that in my mind before I get too terribly upset. Days is more entertaining with Ron writing the show. Today was like a Days fan's Christmas wish, delivered on Halloween. I wish he had a crack at writing for Paige. Melissa Archer really sold it today, too. Can't Rafe really die? Can't I have 1 wish to carry over from the dreams. No....No Soap In Today's Era Can Be Perfect. Today was fun, and I enjoyed almost every moment of it. Ron would bring back Princess Gina for a cameo. |

It's a little hard to discuss this episode since it was a stand alone, but I'm going to try anyway. I really liked it. I usually don't like episodes like this (I usually really want to, and then just don't), so it was a nice surprise. Because of what it was, it doesn't have to make perfect sense. I do think the S&K and Rope stuff were a little out of place in context but whatevs. I LOVED the Princess Gina stuff. KA is so terrible at that accent, and this was totally the way to use it lol. She and Rolf both had so many great lines. It was just a great use of a character that, IMO, doesn't usually add anything positive to anything happening. Rolf stealing a child's tiara for her was great, and repeatedly calling Rafe "peasant" is my new favorite thing. Serena coming back with a fire was great. I LOVED that she had the elephant. That's such a great way to take something widely mocked about a character and use it in a fun way (the opposite of what they did yesterday with Eve's porno music). Paige was good, too, and I swear it was like True was trying to show (some of) us that she really could be good. The reunion with JJ was well acted. It was like a mini pier reunion lol. Then, of course, she had some awesome lines. And I mean...she pitchforked Lani. I think it's interesting that Abby's subconscious blames herself and Chad for those murders. They never picked up on that beat, and IMO they should have. It's not their fault ultimately, but I think it's realistic both that they'd have blamed themselves and that others would have blamed them. That's a beat that could have been really good from multiple angles. No one died after J&M's affair, but they got blamed and still get blamed for all kinds of things. It provided decades of story for them. Not hitting those kinds of beats (in multiple stories of theirs) is a big reason they have no story now, IMO. The S&K stuff was tonally different, and I thought they did some really interesting things there. I didn't particularly enjoy their conversation in the pub, but the way she was talking and the mood of the scene really stood out. I didn't realize initially (I was actually unspoiled!) that she was a ghost. I think they did a really good job setting that mood. I really thought Kayla's head was going to fall off though, and I'm a little disappointed that didn't happen. I would have liked more for Ben. IDK why, but he and Rolf walking through the hospital totally cracked me up. I didn't enjoy the scene with him and Steve, though. I don't enjoy how SN cries, so that kind of killed it for me. I can't believe we have to return to a show tomorrow where Rafe is still alive. Bummer. |

Okay, so let's just pick up there tomorrow. Chabby are dead, Lani is history, Serena and Paige are better than they were before they left, and Princess Gina did us all a favor by offing Rafe. I usually hate stand alone episodes but this one was actually entertaining. Everyone did a really good job. The one liners were hilarious and the meta jokes thrown in were great! That elephant was killing me. As always, I LIVE for Princess Gina. |

Thank you JCP.

I really liked Steve going after Ben. That is what Steve would do if someone killed his sweetness. I enjoyed Princess Gina this time. I liked that in last scene of them, that Kayla was wearing the scarf that Ben probably strangled her with. |

So many things I didn't like at the time that were perfect for a Halloween episode! Princess Gina, complete with compact and tiara (stolen from a little girl)! Serena monologing to her elephant! And zombie Paige got jokes! |

If the town square and the streets of Salem are supposed to be empty, why can we hear people? They shouldn’t have used that background noise for those scenes. It wasn’t necessary at all.

I would’ve squealed like a little girl if the compact Rolf pulled out for Princess Gina had a “G” on it.

I thought today was fun. I liked Serena and Paige, they had some great lines. I haven't watched long enough to know anything about Princess Gina but I enjoyed her torturing Rafe. |

A few observations about the episode, which I truly enjoyed. Didn't FF a moment of it. 1. The directing for most Chad and Abby scenes is awful, not just today but every day. I can't believe how low-energy their delivery is. Everything is so... flat! 2. Superficial comment: I love Casey Moss's chest hair, and it was on full display today. I wish they'd keep the razors away from him! 3. The guest cast (Archer/O'Brien/Wilson/Utay) by far outshone most of the regulars. They were all obviously having a blast with the material. 4. I detested the never-ending Princess Gina story, but it was WONDERFUL to see KA going at it again, despite the dreadful accent. 5. Buh-bye Lani and Rafe. Don't let the door hitcha. If only it were real... 6. I'd trade Lani for Paige in a heartbeat, and I really, really, really want Melissa Archer back permanently. Probably not as much as Aquamarine does, but pretty darn close. ^_^ |

As much as I prefer Ron to the the previous regime (which isn't saying much, I know!), this episode was total garbage. Complete waste of time. Instead of trying to be clever and failing miserably, how about just moving stories forward in a well-paced, exciting way? |
