I just read here that FakeRafe is going to be bludgeoned to death in his jail cell next week.....I will miss the guy....I know, I know, but he brought humor to the show and his quirkiness was quite refreshing in the more often than not dark quagmire we've been witness to for the past year or so......
Did you guys notice FakeRafe the other day during the big reveal in the DiMera parlor trying to look around everyone from the sofa to see Johnny when Johnny came running in to the room...?? FakeRafe was truly glad to see the little guy and wanted to get his attention and speak to him.....the look on his face was genuine joy as he stretched on the sofa to get Johnny's attention like he was really expecting Johnny to rush to him...that's when Bo and Hope hustled him out....I thought that little bit was cute.....
And who else could get away with saying the things about and to Sami that he did......saying that Sami carried his Rafe's balls around with her in her little cheap imitation purse......and he slammed the Salem PD about as much as we do...!!!
Anyway, I will miss the guy....hope someone comes along and replaces the humor and lightness that he brought to the show......I know he did crappy things too but we have plenty, plenty of crappy doings so he wasn't that important in those things but we don't have much humor and for that, it's too bad he's leaving........

I'll miss Rafe2 also because he made me really sit up and take notice of Galen. I thought Rafe was pretty one dimensional, but Rafe2, as hideous a character as he was, did indeed have a humorous, lighthearted side. The dual role really showcased Galen's acting range (and I'll bet it's even broader than we've seen here) and I can't tell you how often I forgot that there weren't two people playing the two roles. Awesome job, Galen. Hasta la vista Rafe2.

Well said jkjpatch. I was never a fan of Rafe. I found him so boring. No character/personality. Then along came Rafe2 and I started to enjoy the character more with his sense of humor, jokes and stuff, even as I didn't like a lot of the awful things he did. I realized how talented Galen Gering was. He is an unbelievable actor. Days truly has some great actors/actresses.
Then I met Galen Gering. Now I find myself watching all of Rafe's scenes regardless of whether or not I like them. I just want to see him. LOL

I loved the trashy comments that Rafe2 was able to get away with saying. He did add some humor to the show. Adios amigo!

Oh wow, I will miss him too! I always have a soft spot for the bad guy, and just like Night Hope before him, Rafe2 was far more fun to watch than the original imo. And I couldn't agree more that it made me take more notice of Gaelin. He really did an awesome job, even when he was Rafe impersonating Rafe2's impersonation of Rafe. That's enough to give any actor a headache.

I agree. When he was Rafe impersonating Rafe2, he definitely had a lot on his plate and did a good job of it, because you could tell the difference. Rafe is Rafe. Rafe2 is Rafe2. But Rafe3 (Rafe pretending to be Rafe2) was different from both. You could see the difference. His acting talent/skills are amazing. He deserves an emmy for all that work. LOL
I hope people can even understand what I said here. LOL

Besides more Rafe onscreen was great so this just leads to less, Boo!!!! |

I forgot alllll about her. I loved her as Susan and Sister Moira (I think it was something like that) and as Kristen. I have often wished she would come back to the show.

I know this is way off topic but since it was brought up...why did Stefano allow her to name him Elvis?

I have no idea why he allowed that. Actually, I don't think he knew, did he? About Elvis until later? They thought he was John Black's didn't they? My memory isn't the greatest LOL

I think that Stefano secretly had her impregnated. I don't remember who Susan thought was the daddy.

You just answered your own question fluffy. Susan thought the daddy was Elvis Presley. And I think that Stefano had his way with her by pretending to be Elvis Presley, if my memory is correct. But I don't think we ever actually saw that, only heard about it.

You're absolutely correct jkjpatch.Although there is a scene of Stefano dressed as Elvis.I don't know how he pulled it off though,I'll hunt for the clip,see if I can find it again. |
