Hopefully that’s one thing of Ron’s writing they leave behind in the past. I rather have boring than a straight up insulting/disrespectful story

This old episode reminds me primarily of how much Jeanne Coopers presence is missed on this show, as is Jill. It’s so weird seeing Tricia so calm and sane in these scenes. I started watching around the time of her mental breakdown (and I think Tony was involved in some accident on a motorcycle?)

I think one of the reasons Peters return is falling flat for me is the absence of Jack and Jennifer in this.

Now if only CBS can capitalize on this and start advertising the hell out of it.

I love how this show actually celebrates holidays.

SH did a phenomenal job this week especially with the confrontation with Brady. I think for once, it’s well deserved.

If there’s one thing Paula and Jeanne get right, it’s family moments. I loved the Xmas episodes and it was one of the best we’ve had in years.

I think Annie’s paternity reveal should’ve been a bigger deal. Everybody seemingly has forgotten about Martin (Lola was given more lip service after her death than Martin) I like the infusion of more humor, but I just don’t think it was necessary to include that in Max vs Jack at the Beales. That’s one thing I can give Wadey, he has included a few witty funny moments (Max saying he’s a great dad, Ian and Kathy over Christmas). The Xmas episodes didn’t get interesting until AFTER Chrissie revealed herself and Sam entered the scene. That’s like 15-20 solid mins of entertainment. And Max and Cindy? I knew it was going to happen but again, played for laughs. Wadey is seemingly trying to rejuvenate the show by revisiting old previous highs and it’s falling flat. We didn’t need Anthony to get the Keanu treatment and get murdered in the Vic. We still have no solid confirmation he’s the father of the twins or why Zoe kept it from him. Just a load of plot driven drivel.

Might I add, Joey and Hayley have this funny rapport, the way that Hayley seemed annoyed at Joeys presence and Joey seemingly acting as if he has Hayley’s number and can appeal to her need for approval at Farimont Crest. 😆 Only time I found Joey entertaining

What a treat the last two episodes have been. Reminds me of AMC/P&G soaps with the family oriented episodes. Bill giving us some more hints about his turbulent relationship with his father, I think we’re in for a very tragic backstory for him and I’m all for it.

Very good Nigel centric episode. I might not find most of Wadeys tenure must see tv, but he does tend to get the emotional beats of the story right.

Crazy how the show brings Shawn out of being basically non existent just to shoot him lol

I’ve come to realize that sums up Cwikley/Ford so far. Good ideas that lead to a few good scenes, even a few strong character driven ones; but ends up missing the mark or not tapping into the full potential of these good ideas. Anyways here’s to hoping Stephanie somehow ends up pregnant with Jeremy’s baby somewhere down the line after he’s proven that he’s a changed man (And Alex proves to be more of a dick).

Looks like we have a Max centric year ahead of us oh lord Flash forward episode centering around him

I can’t help but to get drawn in by Dani and Andre but it just angers me that it’s so obvious that they’re not endgame.

Has anyone mentioned GL’s ridiculous pairing of Alan Michael and Marina. JFC oh and correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t we also get Mallet and Marina? Wheeler and Co must have seriously put up pictures of the cast on a dart board and blindly threw darts to see who would end up with who.

Loved seeing the flashbacks and the fact that it was a Horton centric episode ♥️

Happy Birthday Days!! ❤️

Hopefully there are three Hawthorne brothers; Luke, Jacob, and Izaiah. Older cop Luke who’s more in tune with his fathers dirty dealings, Jacob who is the favorite and sees everything in black or white, and Izaiah the black sheep of the family because he didn’t follow in his father and brothers footsteps.

Yes lawd!

I would’ve been happy with either Dominic or Paul winning. Congrats Paul his speech was lovely especially about his mom. congrats Nancy, her speech was lovely as well

So was I the only one thinking that Hayley attempt at poisoning Bill is going to lead to Naomi miscarrying? That’d be an interesting twist.

The extras on this show are unlike any in daytime. LOL “I’ll have what those two were having.” If it’s not the storylines that entertain you then it'll be the little lines they give the extras on the show and some of their facial expressions. I hope the show never loses this aspect 😆

I could see him having chemistry with Nicole, but the show seemingly wants to go down this route of Carlton and Nicole.

Thank you. It’s meant to me tacky and a reflection of the characters lol
