Because this is something everyone needs to experience

It's like the olden days when they did the commercials right there in the show!

This could easily be a commercial in its self.

This reminds me of Dolly Parton talking about having to do ads like this for female products when she used to do the Porter Wagoner show.

I will actually admit I watched this episode whilst it was airing and as the Midol moment unspooled my jaw went slack. It was so crazy! I mean, I'm not a fool about product placement and stuff, but I actually thought it was kind of genuinely funny that they were so blatant about it.

If they make Suzanne Rogers hawk Metamucil, she should ask them to be murdered again. (Is she still on there? I haven't seen the show in years but figure she must be the senior member now since Frances Reid died)

Maggie is the senior member now. They fired Marlena, John and Roman. I caught half the show today and apparently they have brought back Anna and Calliope. It looks like they are going to hook Maggie and Victor up. They can be the senior couple, I suppose. I don't know who any of these young whippersnappers are.

Wow, Calliope? Jeez, she's from way back when I used to watch the show with my sister in the 80s. At least it's a better gig than that awful America's Funniest Home Videos knockoff she did with Dave Coulier.

Anna has been back for a while. I started watching again in January after a twelve year absence (hey, I was in the hospital and my mom was visiting!) and she had been back for a while then. Calliope just came back last week.

I caught it a few times when Anna had kidnapped Sami's baby. (Typing that I realize how funny that is, considering Sami kidnapped Marlena's baby.) I have no idea what was going on there. I just know Elvis Junior grew up REALLY fast.

Yeah, Elvis Junior (who I didn't realize was who he was at first when they kept calling him EJ) is younger than Will, if I'm not mistaken. Technically.

[Calvin]

Yes, he is. And younger than Phillip and Brady. And Phillip and Brady are younger than Will. And Shawn (who I guess is gone now) is older than all of them.

I don't think Brady is younger than Will. Isabella was long dead before Marlena was possessed and Will wasn't born till after that.

Wait, you're right -- I think Philip and Will were born about the same time, but Brady was a few years before. (this was when I was in high school and watched occasionally during the summer)

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 5/13/10 at 10:47pm

You are right about Phillip and Will being born around the same. I'm not sure who was born first. I want to say Phillip, but I'm not sure. I'm sure all this info is available on the internets, but I can't care enough to research it.

I'm LOL. I watch the ABC soaps, but it's funny reading about this one from y'all's point of view.

I'm surprised they didn't have her hold the box up to her face while smiling.
