I don't think her age really matters here. I mean Vern was helping Jack run the paper and he was up there in age back in the day. However Nicole has other options for stories that a career isn't really needed for her tbh.

I believe that it's April and Doug's funeral won't air till December which is 8 months from now.

Yes she wrote for The Intruder. It was in the vents there that Xander locked Eric/Nicole together. I actually don't mind Nicole as a journalist I got some decent Jack/Nicole scenes out of it. That being said it's not a viable job for a TV character these days because the landscape has changed for news etc.

She said she would return if they would want her for more than one episode. She mentioned how you have to pay to fly there and it wasn't worth the $$$ for one episode. I posted about it in the BTS thread.

I thought he was in his late 20s. Definitely older.

I forgot about that and if Shane wasn't available, they couldn't have Kim around for a couple episodes?

Normally I would be bothered by Shane/Kim not being there for their own daughter's wedding. However considering that I don't care for Theresa and this wedding will be a hot mess(and not in the fun soapy way). It's probably for the best. A shame they didn't bring them around for Bo/Hope's story last spring.

Yes that's Maree Cheatam aka Marie Horton. Which is a nice blast from the past. I personally think Kristian is there but not Peter. Speaking of SS I was surprised to hear Susan begged 5 different headwriters to bring back Steven Olson but only Ron listened. I will give him credit for that at least(although I question why other writers weren't interested?).

I don't mind Janel they're cute but they need something to do. At least they haven't saddled them with kids yet so not all hope is lost with them. Yes which was a large part of why Doug/Julie were against the relationship.

Leo’s reaction to Bobby/Everett just didn’t ring true to me. I agree with your general point about Xarah but I go with it because the actors have chem and one of the few things about the show that doesn’t completely bug me

That happened in 2016 so my guess is yes? Although I thought Dena was writing at that point I don't recall.

Well Matt is there along with a few others in this video. We don't see PR/KA there but I like to think they are surprising us with that one(I hope so anyways). I don't see Casey either which would suck because JJ/Doug scenes were always delightful.

I don't think it should surprise anyone that she would return for Bill/Doug's tribute and I bet Matt is also there but probably not announced yet. Which is why I also expect them to probably announce Kristian (maybe last) also.

Leo bugging out over that is something because we were subjected to Gwen calling Leo Matty for months on end.

Compared to Kristen she is. Kristen is just an evil cartoon character(that Eileen made better than she was tbh) that's way past her expiration date Ashley is at least grounded in reality most of the time. While ED played a variety of characters on this show they weren't multiple personalities not the same. I have to admit I'm surprised they didn't give Sharon this story given her history(but then again JG doesn't care for character so..)

Magazines are as popular as newspapers so probably not.

This show could use a lot more of it tbh.

Julie crashing Johnny/Chanel's honeymoon is probably the best spoiler because it's random character interaction and has the potential to be hilarious. Maggie being taken by Kon makes sense at her age. She's lonely and wants to fill that void.

I hope they're leaving it as a surprise so when they show the funeral we see them there along with others.

In that regard he's just like his father if you think about it. That being said while Holly is terrible for this I admit to getting a chuckle that this is happening to Theresa. This has parallels to Jennifer/Theresa when it came to JJ.

I assume Liz/Doug sang together at some point. I am glad the show is bringing back as many old timers that are still with us as possible for Doug's funeral. Wonder if we'll get a Robin Thicke cameo?

I meant their investment in the Chabby pairing in general. Although I do think Marci cared more than Kate. Yet I preferred Chabby with Kate at least in 2014-2016. I stopped caring after Kate left the first time. They domesticated them too soon tbh.

Theresa has been offscreen for most of it so that helps. I do agree about not really feeling that bad for Xander. I mean Alex may be a tool but I will never understand why I was supposed to believe he's worse towards women than Xander is. Alex is at least honest about being a womanizer if he lied to these women and made them think he cared that would be another story but he didn't. I do agree I don't like how he treated Justin here but this is a show problem where if you aren't biologically related the relationship doesn't matter unless its Jarlena and their kids.

Which is funny since he seemed to care more about that pairing than either of the Abigails did. I personally would prefer Chad stay a single dad for a while until they get it right but at the same time who knows how long Days will last especially with that lawsuit.
