So I guess these two weeks were not a dream. Today was a new day and they "explained" Hope’s absence. So I guess all these recent episodes were real.
I didn’t hate how they explained her absence considering her departure, COVID etc. I wish she would have came back for an ep or 2 to "leave" the right way but I get it. Why bother?
I’m not sure I agree with everyone who is beating up the show for asking her to step away for 5 months. Hope, while an iconic character, hasn’t been interesting since before Bo left (not when he died – when he left.) That whole Aiden SL was ridic. and she was a snooze w/Rafe. Asking her to leave for 5 months to give the character some freshness made sense. IMO KA ego got in the way. Hopefully that doesn’t hurt her long term – b/c soap actors often don’t do much when they go.
Finally – do we know if DOOL is staying on a REGULAR taping schedule? Or will they try and get so far ahead like they did before? I figured that would be tough w/Covid and I hope so. That 6-9 months in advance thing stunk – especially when the SL’s were so bad… they couldn’t course correct.
Yes, they were getting back to 8 episodes (even more than usual) before they had to shut down again a few weeks ago. If they have any more shutdowns, there’s a chance they could run out of episodes this time (much quicker than last time), so I guess they will try to bank as many episodes as possible to prepare for that possibility.
They aren’t filming 6-9 months ahead I’m good with whatever. That worked for us this whole year – but it’s so awful and difficult when a SL is so bad. The "far in advance taping" really hurts their ability to course correct AWFUL storylines. I dunno what the other soaps do (in a non Covid world) but filming July episodes in November was always very bizarre to me.
