Well that makes sense. Konstantin's reasoning behind making Alex Victor's secret son make no sense - his only way to get any funds from it is for Theresa to marry Alex and give Don money. He has to hate Xander to make it happen.

Jack was a serious character for many years. He doesn't write the show, he's not the one who made the character a shadow if his former self. I read the book by Bill Hayes and SSH and he referred to KA as his bonus daughter, which was sweet. I'll be shocked if she's not back.

I'm dorking it up with you Disneyboy.

OK I could buy puppy dog Tate being a fool for Holly. But new middle aged Tate looks like an idiot.

How is Stephanie a Horton? Neither of her parents are.

Brady forgave Kristin for kidnapping Tate from Teresa's womb so I think Victoria's run through the park is no biggie for this show.

this is so delightful. couldn't Brady piece together...? well it's Brady so no, he could not.

I'm revolted at Abe saying his years with Paulina were his happiest. He has been on the show for 4 decades and that is not what I've seen on screen. total revision.

Which makes it super clever for Kate to show up in a big pinwheel hat. She sure won't stick out in a monastery! I've watched this show on and off since toddlerhood (my gram got my started) and I cannot ever remember any local location shots. Do they really think we won't know they are at the silo? or at the hospital? it's freaking me out.

Does anyone else see a problem with a wooden box shoved up a chimney for sixty years emerging unscathed? I have watched the show for decades and I have no memory of Alice screaming "don't light a fire!".

I hear you and I don't dispute the frustration as I've screamed at IVR systems that seem to actively repel you from speaking to a human. But as far as verification - if they don't follow protocol they get fired. And we're being bombarded with calls from fraudsters who ARE trying to steal your identity and your money. Honestly, it's hard to tell the difference.

The IRS is so woefully underfunded that it's a miracle the answer the phone. I am sure that was frustrating.

I'd forgotten Scotty Banning. I remember when he was born but had forgotten he existed as an adult character. I googled him, he's apparently alive just off camera for 30 years. Julie has been a grandparent since she was about 30.

I'm an escalation rep in customer service. I've been called the c word because I wouldn't break the rules by refunding an overdraft fee to someone who so badly abused their checking account it's a miracle they still have one. We don't give out our last names because customers stalk us on Facebook and one figured out where one of us lived and that did not go well. There's no reason for us to be rude, but plenty for us to be tired because we are treated like dirt when we are trying to balance both good service and conforming to a myriad of regulations on our industry. Phone systems can be tricky, there can be a second delay so you do end up talking over someone because you were already talking before you hear them. At my job, most people are trying. But the junior people are not trained by doing they are trained by slides so it at best takes a while to know anything. I'm really sorry that you're having a tough time, but there is a flip side.

Eli is a Horton, his grandmother is Julie, and his great great grandparents are Tom and Alice Horton. Everett knows about the fire, he mentioned it in the police station when Jada told him and Chad about Lucas. Nicole and EJ couldn't spring for a night nurse?
