Seriously If you've got a poisonous lipstick and rafe cable tied to a seat.... what' s the point of the protective layer... Just take to him with the lipstick. No need for kissing. |

I though Steve choking Ben was pretty well done. |

I'm disappointed we're not going forward with all of these storylines. Sad state of affairs when a bunch of recurring characters and one offs are wiping the floor over the usual staid bunch. |

I like the way the S/K segments played. Kayla with scarf in hand getting onto elevator with Ben and Rolf. Then scaring Steve appearing out of nowhere as a ghost with scarf wrapped around her neck. I wish I hadn't read tweets before I watched the episode. I liked the ep but I think I would have enjoyed it more not knowing anything. |

the ny tragedy took over the last 50 minutes of the show today. I'm too tired to watch it online right now. will try tomorrow. so far though abby's story looked the most interesting besides Ben of course. p.s. and as awful sad and tragic NY was today I don't see why they have to fill the hour like a cable news show, unless I lived in NY. It is so annoying. But RIP to those who were murdered. Just awful. Edited by sincerelytj, Oct 31 2017, 09:58 PM.

Am I the only one who originally thought Kayla's scarf was pantyhose? Please tell me I wasn't. LOL. Like KBrady, I saw some of the tweets before I watched, and I think I would have found certain things more amusing had I not. Overall, I thought it was a fun/silly episode. The S/K and Rope stuff didn't exactly fit with the whole Ben's victims theme -- particularly S/K -- but whatever. Their story kind of felt like a guarantee filler episode. The remainder of the episode felt really meta, which is generally one of Ron's strengths. Killing Rafe, the elephant statue, Lani being pitchforked...it's almost like Ron's been paying attention to this board's complaints. ;) Edited by cord08, Oct 31 2017, 10:28 PM.

This episode was fun as hell! It was pretty clear that Ron had a blast writing this one. There were so many historic nods I almost lost count. What a treat! I don't even think I can pick a favorite moment from the episode, though I do think Paige's "If it helps, you can call me Eve" line is the best line of dialogue spoken on the show in a decade, and TOB delivered it flawlessly. It was also great to see Melissa Archer again, who added an extra spark to Ghost Serena that made her hella entertaining. I will not stop complaining to the Soap Gods until she's cast as a mischievous, bitchy Sarah Horton. |

I'm sorry, but I thought today was absolutely dreadful. I HATE episodes like this. ugh. If only some of this was real though... Paige killing Lani, Princess Gina giving Rafe a literal kiss of death. Those are two things I would pay good money make actually happen. |

I really enjoyed today. It was fun. Steve/Kayla felt out of place but I still enjoyed them. Loved the set up of Kayla being a ghost. Loved Serena returning all pissed off. That's the fire and edge I want to see and know Archer can deliver. She was fantastic today. She fits in flawlessly on DAYS, it's a shame she was cast as a nobody with poor writing. I really want her back on the show. And Serena with the elephant statue, bashing Abby and Chad to death? Yesssss. It really is like Ron was giving a nod to those of us who want some of these boring characters offed. True O'Brien delivered as well. I can't believe I was happy to see Paige again but I was. Loved her "call me Eve" line. Glorious. LOL. Just glorious. And then pitchforking Lani to death. LOVED Rolf and Ben. They were so fun. I wish Ben really had revived Rolf, but I'm still not convinced Rolf is dead. Both actors were so good. I also realized how much I've missed Utay and Rolf. I died when Rolf talked into his watch to activate the satellite and Hope fainted and woke up as Princess Gina. YESSSSSS. Lol. And that accent! And the stolen tiara! The poison lipstick! It was all so ridiculous but so much fun. I wish Rafe were really dead. I like Abe having a daughter but Sal is blah so I'd love to replace Lani with Paige. Sigh, if only some of it carried over. |

I knew it was her scarf because of the pic that was out, but it totally looked like pantyhose. |

"My other victims" Someone should tell Ben what happens to the human body when you've been dead for 2 years... |

That was a fun episode. I liked it enough. Only thing I will say though is that maybe they should've stayed with having Ben's victims return. Princess Gina replaced with Will visiting Sonny and/or Paul or something. |

I would love if they killed off Rafe for real with poisoned lipstick like that for real. It's befitting for his dumbass. Serena was on during the time I was taking a break from the show. I liked her in this episode and saw Melissa on OLTL when I'd watch occasionally. It would be nice if they brought her on as a different character. If she was cast as Sarah Horton at least she'd be a kid Mags already knew she had. I thought this was a fun episode. The people who's areas got preempted didn't miss any actual movement of current stories. Sad what the preemptions were for though. |

I really enjoyed this for the most part. The Gina stuff was the highlight for me. And look, I remember subsex, Gina is NOT a favorite of mine lol. But she was very funny and those peasant lines were amazing. I also thought Melissa archer was great. The elephant stuff was terrific. Paige and the cheating and eve comments were great too I agree the S&K stuff felt out of place but the creepy vibe was good. It hurt, IMO, that they had another version of the same conversation they’ve had about six times at the pub already though. All in all super fun though. Wish the Rafe death stuck. |

I never understood when I was watching back then why everyone was so obsessed with the plainest looking compact ever made. |

"Gina dear, would you be so good as to shoot this peasant". Love OG Rolf! WU had more hair on his shoulders than his head, LOL. I need him to come back for more episodes. |
