I agree. Someone needs to get seriously hurt or killed. Even if it's just an extra or two. The only time the devil has really felt threatening was when Doug was possessed. Bill Hayes made me feel something bad could happen. Mardevil and Johnnydevil, not so much.

Poor Raven being tagged, and then feeling she had to post her private health info for the world to see. 🙁

My tv channel lost reception so I missed the last 15 minutes. Read what happened on Twitter, though, and I'm sure we'll see a flashback on Monday. My reception, btw, worked fine for the Susan vomit scene. 🙄

I hope so too. Sarah and her cutesy voice and actions really got under my skin. I haven't watched GH in decades, but I loved Robin, and can't imagine anyone not liking her. ☹️

Oh, that makes sense, that it was Julie's restaurant. I did think it was a different view of the Salem Inn, and forgot about the restaurant. And, yes, the Kate scene seemed strange. J&J's Salem goodbye would have been better without Kate interrupting it. As for Sami and Lucas, I don't think we know where they were going, but I might have missed a scene.

So J&J's final stop was the Salem Inn, apparently for an off screen farewell with Doug and Julie. Don't D&J live at the Horton house now, or did they get kicked out when Jen came home. And if so, can they move back in now Such a strange scene. Though I guess they needed them somewhere other than the Horton house to have that unnecessary scene with Kate.

And teddy bears.

How can Kayla take time away from the hospital to go sleuthing with Steve? Doesn't she have to be available for brain surgeries, ER admittances, births, etc. Guess the student resident, Tripp, is gonna be busy!

Abe is Brandon's father! I didn't know that, (wasn't really watching when Brandon was around) but explains why Nicole and Abe are so close, which though I like, never understood. If they're not going to pair Nicole with Eric, then put her with Brady. They have chemistry, and I prefer them as a couple to Brady & Chloe, and way more than Brady & Kristen, though I prefer Brady with Kristen than when he was with Theresa. So true, isn't it.

Even though the NYE celebrations were pretty lackluster, the ending was good. I did wonder what was up with Johnny, when he kept saying he wasn't feeling well, so it wasn't a total; surprise. Really fits, though, since he was the one who wanted to make the movie. Now he can have a real life starring role.

Here you go:

I don't know, I'm not convinced it's over. I kept thinking "don't untie her, yet". Even if it did work, and I see the reasoning for doing it on Christmas day, but what pathetic Christmas shows we got this year. The angel tree top burning, then everyone hanging ornaments like it never happened. Kayla and Steven doing the kid's hospital reading to no actual kids (yes, I know Covid). Nicole spending Christmas day at the police station with EJ. Marlena's family gathering to do an exorcism. (great to see Eric though) Paulina still Christmas shopping on Christmas morning,. Allie and Johnny bickering instead of opening gifts with Henry. And there's probably more. At least Christmas fell on the weekend, so no shows actually aired on Christmas day.

It feels kinda stalker-ish to talk about, but I also think that it's just that Lindsay is wearing more low cut tops lately. I can't see the pic in PEACHMANGOSTEEN's post, as you have to have an Instagram account, however, on the https://www.shopyourtv.com/tag/lindsay-arnold/ site, if you scroll down to last December, even though she's wearing sweaters, she looks, uhm, well endowed.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I think most of those sound interesting. Now whether Ron can write the storylines well, or not, remains to be seen.

It was nice seeing Jennifer but, yes, those pants were awful. Where did wardrobe get them? Or was it MR's own clothes, being back as just a guest and not a full-time cast member? Either way, there must have been something else she could wear. The green sweater looked nice though. And, also, love the shorter hair.

This whole return was so disappointing, especially since I was initially thrilled when I heard they were bringing JKJ back as Philip. But other than a few good scenes with Lucas and/or Kate, it was all about the boring Chloe/Philip/Brady triangle. And, worse for me at least, Philip and his father are still mostly on the outs. At the very least, for us viewers as well as JKJ and JA, Ron should have written a scene that had Victor telling Philip that he was glad he wasn't dead, and that he loved him. I mean the actors might not have a chance to act together again, seeing that JA is 88 years old. And this is the season for happy and sappy, right.

That was funny, wasn't it. 😀 Glad Philip is going to get help. Hope that doesn't mean JKJ is gone for good, again, though. You guys who suspected Lucas was the kidnapper were right. Not sure what I think about that, however, did enjoy the brothers bonding over their crazy schemes.

I didn't even notice it. from twitter:

I know I can Google, and will, but think maybe they should have explained just a teeny bit for the viewers, like me, who are wondering "who's Tyler?" That said, I really enjoyed the scenes with Philip and Kate today. Good acting, especially from JKJ. He came across as both crazy and sympathetic. Wonder how Kate's going to fix everything? I kinda like the twist of putting Tripp in the hospital bed. But creepy too, especially if he knows what's going on, but can't communicate with anyone. Jan Spears always gets the best lines, and the actress always does a great job with them. I'm sure she'll be back in her coma by New Years, but fun seeing her while we can.

I know some of you have mentioned this before, but I'm finding it hard to watch Victor these days as John Aniston is looking so frail. I know today he was supposed to be feeling weak with worry and grief about Philip, but seeing him always in a chair, wearing what looks like an oversized suit, just makes me sad. I hope he's doing ok, and still working because he wants to, and not because he feels obligated. I also hope that before he either stops working, or they write Philip out again, that Victor and Philip can mend their father/son relationship, even if just a little.

From what I'm reading over at the DR forum, it's only going to be on Peacock Premium. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/peacock-announces-days-of-our-lives-a-very-salem-c-t43399-s150.html

Did anyone else find this week boring. I started watching each day, but turned the tv off halfway through, as nothing was keeping my interest.

I don't have anything to say about the last 2 episodes, other than I wish Gabi and Jake would take their enormous egos and go be CEOs of some corporation anywhere that isn't Salem.

Very happy that Vincent won. His showstopper final cake was absolutely stunning.

I know "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but IMO less is more when it comes to makeup, especially blue eye shadow. Not sure if you guys saw this interview with Ann, but it fits the current discussion. https://www.cbc.ca/life/greatcanadianbakingshow/i-full-on-cried-host-of-the-great-canadian-baking-show-on-why-her-flirty-wardrobe-was-a-game-changer-1.6224579
