warning........big rant

I misread and thought you said "They had a salad bar at his funeral?" Note to self: time for new glasses.

And they had his funeral in a bar?? Sad!!!!

I'm guessing we're supposed to think the actual funeral was at the church, but the wake was at the pub.

The thing is, wakes are BEFORE a funeral. And folks usually speak their few words at the funeral itself. This actually was like a memorial service...which usually are held when there is no church service, and the person was cremated. Have never seen a wake AFTER a funeral.

 

[Just Samantha]

Every wake I've been to took place after the funeral. I've never seen one before a funeral.

And I've also seen people speak at wakes (after the funeral) because the funeral was a "set" service with only the priest/minister speaking.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I've seen both. Often times it's based on convenience, when certain things can be done, etc. I've also seen a private wake beforehand and public after the burial. It just depends on the family, the mourners, the service schedules. Honestly I find the wake schedule the least implausible thing in the mourning of Dr Tan.

I think Theresa mentioned a funeral at the church and a reception following at Club TBD. Could be wrong but that's how I remember it.

 

[Soaphead]

Yes that's how I heard it.

When Theresa told Nicole about what Maggie said about the funeral she said the funeral was at the church and the reception would be at Club TBD after.

There have been a lot of scene cutting, as direction of story is being changed, a bit disconcerting as we watch.

And this is a good example. I was reading an article posted elsewhere (link is here in the Front Page article about NBC renewing Days) and the site had this picture.....and the scene was never shown to us viewers..........

Theresa said that Dan was cremated as per his wishes

I haven't been to the Spectator in a while, as I feel there is nothing good to say about the show. Theresa, Brady, Nicole are about the only people not being crazy, immoral or evil. Andre, he is almost un-watchable. We see 60 second scenes of practically everyone every day. Nothing goes anywhere. OK guess I will shut up.

 

[Poirot]

Hey, that is what this web site is all about.....the good, bad, ugly. LOL And I agree. Too much gloom, misery & despair. Not enough romance, mystery, adventure & love. However, I diss, you diss, we all diss. AND I praise as well.

 

[oldsoapie]

Not a heck of a lot to praise lately, just sayin.

I was so disillusioned I didn't even watch last week. Hope something happens soon.
