So Marlena insists that she had a toy as a girl where you baked cakes in a pretend oven with a light blub... Um, I don't think so. The Easy Bake Oven didn't come out until 1963. If you want me to believe that Marlena was a little girl in 1963, I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you. An Easy Bake Stone Hearth, MAYBE...?

That's not really that far off. They can pass her off as late 50's easily.

What if Lucas is the new CEO of Titan and that's why he comes home???
I would love for Lucas to be the CEO of Titan and then he somehow keeps Madison and rehires Sami at MadWorld. There is just something too delicious about the potential rivalry with Kate's son running Titan and having Madison and Sami as subordinates.

Oh the last time that Sami worked for Lucas was just sooo good! Remember this?



I love the idea of Lucas being the new Titan CEO, Billie and Kate teaming up against him, family rivalry? YEAH! If by chance Sami does end up working for Lucas at Titan, boy they can do some nice reminiscing?

Dear PTB,

Please bring back the Titan photo lab set again? Even if it's a made to look like the photo lab set. :wub: You can throw in the conference room for the Jarlena fans too ;)

Thanks, I promise I'll watch faithfully if you make that happen. I'm loyal like that you know...and yeah, I'd watch Dr. Orangeass and his daughter if need be. True commitment here!

Regards,

Luvinglumi

Make it happen Days!
I love this..I agree 100% and I co-sign!!


Give me Lucas with some power and I will be a happy Days Viewer!

Who does she think she is? Erica Kane? Marlena was a full-fledged doctor in 1976 when she first appeared. The only way that even comes close to remotely working is if they used the date that was given as Marlena's birthday on her headstone when she "died" during the SSK storyline - 10/31/56 (which clearly means that she was de-SORASed because there's no way she was only 19/20 when she 1st appeared. It would make her the same as as Mike Horton and she's at LEAST a 1/2 generation old than him and David). Marlena has always been written as a contemporary of Julie & Maggie, not a generation behind them.

Yeah, I don't know why they always try to hide Marlena's real age. The bitch is in her 60s, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I just wanted to say that I LOVE Kate's outfit today I think she looked GREAT!!!!!

Sami looked a mess and the hair just made her look more annoying to me than she already does.

Madison's shirt looked like it had some of those ribbons that you win at a County Fair or something.

The child support remarks from Sami were even more annoying than her hair. There's no way EJ and Lucas are not supporting their children.

Yeah, that was just ridiculous.

Love Will/Marlena's scenes.Poor Will. My heart just breaks for him. Chandler is just amazing in this storyline.

Thanks for posting this!! I cannot wait until Lucas comes back. He had real chemistry with AS, and is the only character that can make Sami tolerable since he didn't kiss her ass like other braindead suitors have!

They pretty much hide everyone's age except Sydney's. I wouldn't have thought twice about the Easy Bake Oven comment...mostly because I had no clue when the Easy Bake Oven was invented. I doubt the writers do either. I guess that's lazy, but it doesn't seem like something as obvious as the screw ups they did during the egg baby stuff in regards to Daniel's age.

I've noticed that Macdonald Carey's "we shall return with the second half of Days of Our Lives" hasn't been used this week. Wonder if that's a permanent change (or if it's just my local station cutting it)?

Why did Canada get previews and we didn't? Did any other Americans get previews?

Today was fine. Whatever.

Rafe/Carrie
Their "story" is really annoying. They're working on this case that we have no reason to care about. They showed us nothing. All we got was the little recaps they'd give. I don't care that some kid I've never heard of was falsely accused of a crime that affect no characters I know. I just don't. To the actors' credit, they're not phoning it in. It'd be really easy to do.

Kate/Sami/Madison/Chad/Gabi
I'm sorry, but I think those pictures are hideous, and I think both characters looked like poorly made-up corpses. Sami's been keeping this secret for however long, and today she decided to talk about it on the phone while at work with two different people? Idiot.

Victor/Maggie/Brady
I want Victor gone. And I want them to stop writing Maggie into these business scenes. She does not belong in a room full of people talking about business at Titan. Why does Brady still live with his grandfather? What is this show's problem with letting adults be independent?

Marlena/Will/Sonny
These scenes were fine, but basically the same as always. Completely ignoring the Easy Bake Oven time issue, I thought that conversation was cute and very real. Marlena remembered a toy from her childhood and wanted her grandchild to have it. My issue with it, actually, is that it's been a long running joke that Marlena is a sucky cook. They either should have picked a different toy or made a joke about how cooking with a lightbulb for so long is clearly why she can't cook now.

As for Marlena, the character is younger than Deidre, but I think that decision was made along the way and not before Deidre started. In other words - right, if Marlena was a doctor in 1976, then she'd be at minimum 25. But I think they were portraying her as 30-ish (which was Deidre's age, 29). So let's say 30. Then in 1993, Marlena had Belle. No way was Marlena supposed to be 47 at that point.. the conversation around the pregnancy had her at about 42-ish. So there's 5 years off right there. Then as everyone is pointing out, the SSK story solidified that. That that RIDICULOUS pregnancy in 2005... I mean, if she were 42 in 93, she'd be 54 in 2005. They wrote that story as if she were in her late 40's. So it doesn't surprise me at all that they're writing the character in her 50's now. And imo, Deidre plays the role very well. :)

I LOVED these scenes. I really like seeing Marlena parenting Will (yes she's his grandparent but she's really parenting)... it's like, Eric was hardly on, Sami is Sami and Belle's a flake. We finally get to watch Marlena showing love and concern for a child going through a very real conflict. I really like how the writing (and Deidre) have it that Marlena knows exactly what Will's going through, but it's all not spoken about.

Sami's outfit and hairstyle... yeah. Agree with Lysie's letter in the spoiler thread.

FF'ed most of Maggie.

I really like Freddie Smith - wasn't sure about him at first, but I think he brings a nice innocence to the role. Can still do without Camila Banus - she's pretty but can't act.

Rafe/Carrie - agree with Lysie.

They may have been a tab bit boring because we are so use to their high-intensity-drama. Anyway, they were needed for SL continuance. TPTB are seeding a bit in today's epi, for SL progression of things to come of course. Adding a few layers doesn't hurt. They are cute together, I love their dynamic. Go Wilena!!! :D

I did a lot FFing today but the one thing that struck me was that Gabi is one hot chick! If Chad prefers Melanie over her than he is a bigger idiot than I thought. Not that I'm surprised since men have preferred the immature annoying brat over woman like Chelsea, Stephanie, Chloe and Nicole. :eyeroll:

Was today the day that the spoilers said that Marlena encourages Will to hang out with Sonny's GAY friends? Because that was quite misleading. All Marlena did was tell Will if he wanted to spend time with Sonny and friends that it was fine by her. No mention of their sexual orientation at all (or did I FF through that?). I'm finding the spoilers lately to be completely inaccurate and misleading.

I am also not loving the spoilers, but I don't think that one was as bad as the "disastrous lunch" one. I mean, the spoiler is explaining what's going on to people who might not be watching. It's like saying, Sami complains to Rafe about her ex-husband Lucas. Even if she doesn't call Lucas her ex, that's who he is. I think the Will spoilers are just trying to clue new viewers in to the dynamic that's in place.

If I'm not mistaken, Are salads/fruit salads the only menu item at the pub? I've noticed that's what they eat in a couple of episodes already, except for that episode with Jack, Austin and Dr. Tang where they had burgers.
