So you didn't see when Shane and Steve were reviewing the Prague police's videos of Shane as Stefano and they came across one of Stefano feeding pigeons in the park, and Shane said that that wasn't him. "I don't think you need any more caffeine." Maybe Eric's the one who should cut back on the caffeine. So Caroline is in LA with Kim, huh? I wish they would let us know if Peggy is okay. All this way? I thought Stephanie was in Chicago. I wish we could get a Chloe/Stephanie confrontation, but I doubt if it will happen. And will we get a Lucas and Austin scene? "Andre has changed." Ugh, they really are trying to make him a good guy, aren't they? Kate and Carrie are so deliciously awkward with each other. :) Kayla tells Caroline that she's glad that Caroline is in LA because it's so cold in Salem, and yet everybody is running around without coats. I was wondering where they were going with the Hattie and Andre story, and I actually sort of like how they used it.

Josh Groban is leaving Natasha and Pierre in July, and will be replaced by Okieriete Onaodowan (I had to copy and paste that. :) ) http://www.broadway.com/buzz/187605/hamilton-alum-okieriete-onaodowan-will-replace-josh-groban-in-natasha-pierre-the-great-comet-of-1812/

"Fake as a two dollar bill."

"Fake as a two dollar bill." Er. Two dollar bills are real.

Jedidiah just blathers the Republican Party talking points. This week it's, all the leaks are coming from Obama holdovers. And that's what both she and the Republicans are saying.

I found it hard to believe that Shenandoah Baker was 38 years old. She looks older than her mother. Drugs take their toll. Does JJ really think that anybody can walk into a store and ask for a copy of a receipt for an item they purchased years ago?

Victoria Rowell has settled her lawsuit with Days.

Can somebody explain the child support case to me in terms of one syllable? Were the two men a former couple with children together? I didn't understand a thing about it.

If it had been intelligible.

Brandon Beemer's name has been removed from the credits, and Martha Madison is supposedly done after the baby case is ended, sometime this or next week.

Heh. I just saw Nicholas Barasch in an episode of "Bull" just last week.

It's this week's Talking Point.

I like Drew's shirt. They got Stefano's fingerprints. Ooh, looks like they are going with an Eric/Jennifer pairing. Why is Abe just now worrying about Valerie having another man in her life? Theo's reservations happened weeks ago. Not that I really care about Valerie or her son. When does Dario work hard? "Can't a mom come visit her son at work?" No. Not appropriate. Man, all of the recapping between Steve and Shane was dumb. Abigail has a Southern accent? Why would she have a Southern accent? Why is Hope spending her time trying to get dirt on Andre? As crappy as they made this Stefano is really dead story, it's turned 180 degrees on Stefano may be really alive, after all.

Danny Dyer is certainly not upper class. And yet he's a pretty successful actor.

GH and OLTL have cleared up all of their casting problems, and Hillary B. Smith is going over to GH as Nora Gannon. I don't know what the AMC situation is, but maybe Doctor David Hayward could move to Port Charles.

They might at least have a decent closer this year. Watch him get injured in spring training.

Jebus, Jedidiah scares the hell out of me. If her viewpoint is the point of all of the Trumpistas as well. "The judges can't rule properly because they don't have access to top secret information." Good God.

Stephen Nichols got interviewed on Dishin Days:

Yet again another blonde. I wonder if she's going after Joey or JJ. http://www.thatsup.info/2016/12/ashley-dulaney-joins-days-of-our-lives-cast-as-tiffany.html

It helps when your husband is a professional makeup artist. :)

Is Xander coming back? https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/tweet-spell-return-xander-days-lives/

I absolutely love Lance Reddick's character in these things. He is a very quiet bad ass. The Continental and all of the underground (the weirdly anachronistic phone girls), the rules, the gold coins. This world is so rich. Maybe in Three, John Wick can go back home to where he came from to try to hide and heal up. My favorite scene is when Common and Wick are shooting each other casually while walking through the subway station. And just WHERE is that futuristic subway station? Is that a real place? The one thing that didn't ring right was why he exited through the concert instead of going out the way he came in.

The whole show is full of people of color. The actor who plays Archie is half Maori, Veronica and her mother are Latinas, and Josie's mother is the mayor.

<Raises hand.>

The farm? Is that the cabin he and Hope are in?
