I think it is even worse, he is the hospital administrator, so he is in charge of all the staff and making sure the hospital avoids lawsuits. He appears at times in a white coat with a stethoscope, so maybe a doctor?? Assuredly an idiot. That's never been in doubt.

Yes, Seth Burns is the long-running administrator of that center of quackery and malpractice, University Hospital. There’s never been any indication that he’s anything more than a bean-counting paper-pusher. He’s never been shown as being particularly smart, but if memory serves, he’s never had a real chance to display his true ineptitude until now. Of course, this is no surprise. How many Salemites are actually good at what they do?

Why was Joy informed of the circumstances of her birth? That's terrible. Otherwise, I think Nancy is a good mother to her, but I might be a brat, too, if I was told I was brought into the world to save my sister. Doesn't this kind of age Chloe? and Nancy?

When soap kids are SORAS'd, miraculously somehow adults stay frozen in their current age, until they hit Doug and Julie age. Then they become the sage elders of the show.

In 1989, Scotty Banning was in his 20's, which would've made his dad David in his 40's, which would've put his mother Julie in her 60's, which would've put her mother Addie (had she lived) in her 80's, which would've put Alice over 100. So by the time Alice died in 2012, she'd have been over 120, thanks to her grandkids, great-grandkids and great-great-grandkids being SORAS'd.

Everybody around Joy knew the circumstances of her conception and birth, so it would've been hard to keep it quiet that she literally saved her sister's life with a bone marrow transplant.

Thanks for the summary. Peacock keeps suddenly stopping the episode on me and I keep having to resume which got old fast.

I really am just not into this Joy stuff. I already hate how they tend to make characters cranky or unlikeable when they bring them in. How old is Joy supposed to be? Why is she hanging out with her mom? And the drama between her and Nancy seems like it should have been dealt with before now, but of course Joy just can't come to town as a happy person. Joy, if you don't like your mom much, just go live your life.

I guess they weren't as sly as Nicole, Eric, the Ewe Search team, Maggie, and the denizens of Salem when it came to keeping secrets.

I already hate how they tend to make characters cranky or unlikeable when they bring them in.

Especially the women. This is a soap trope, but Ron's taste for it reeks of misogyny.

I'm looking forward to a team of female head writers.

 

[katmouse]

But not the fired guy's wife.

How old is Joy supposed to be?

Joy would be 21 in real time. She looks to be in her early to mid-20's.

Me too, I just wish they had younger blood. And of course could do anything about the film delay.
