JP –

14 – I see mysteries unfolding…Bo is being held captive by Stefano. Stefano is up to his old tricks again. I wonder what his motive is this time.

Vin trying to find Ali so he can beat on her some more I suppose.

Eliza can’t do her job, but she sure can play some strip poker!! LOL

I like the push/pull going on with JJ and Miranda. With every scene they’re together, with every misunderstanding, I root for them more, but I know Eliza will be in the middle of it…

The meeting of the Bo Brady ex-wives club…and they all learn that Bo is missing…ouch

GOOD BEATS played here…

Brittany and Billy seem to be getting closer again. I’m glad you are reconnecting them instead of them just instantly wanting to be together. It’s been some years and they are different people than they were last time.

Paul’s life is imploding. First he can’t his daughter to do her job, and now his argument with Emily. I wonder what or who he’s going to turn to. I bet Emily’s next stop is Lucas lol.

We are getting a glimpse of what Greg is facing at home. I wonder how that is going to translate into his life outside of the house, and cutting to Vin finding out where Ali is. You are dealing with the issue of domestic abuse with these characters…and that’s always been a relevant social issue.

Bo is going to make his break soon…UH OH…

GOOD EPISODE!!!

YR –

Heavy mayhem filled aftermath episode…Good one as it resolved the Verdon Lou story, but Dru’s return start s a new chapter…and not surprisingly the family is shocked…

We still don’t know what happened to Sheila, James, or Cane.

Dru and Sister Patterson brought the humor as only they can. Spencer not having womanly products was kinda funny, too.

Cane sold his kids for drugs…wow…I knew I hated him…LOL

I swear Sister Patterson knows something about Leslie because she keeps coming after her. And Olivia went for her, too. Some jealousy there I’m sure.

Scotty needs to get stretched…you go boy!!! LOL The beginning of his journey…Vandalism I mean Vandalynn’s back.

Lauren recapped the back story and that was good for me because I really didn’t read the beginning of all of that.

Yeah Hilary messed up. She set this whole thing in motion.

Very quick moving action from scene to scene...

I loved the Elijah/Eartha flash back scenes...in a very short period of time u provided yrs of story and thrust Elijah right in the middle of morris and Earthas triangle...

Chic Spirit - u have set up some intere sting dynamics here...Malik/Dani and Marahs fantasies...verrry nice...and i want to see what that leads to

Ben is totally playing Luke and Luke.probably has an idea but hes enjoying the ride with a hot guy (no pun intended)

Jacks scenes with Gary provided some humor as only Jack would give...the mystery.of Holdens job continues to build...and the document Todd is looking for...i think these three are all interconnected....the mystery is unfolding...verrry nice..looking fwd to seeing it

Very character driven episode....

What caught my eye immediately was the dynamic between Billie and Justin

Eric's crisis of faith and Nicole's consolation seemed very tender and real for both.

Gabi will have to take another route with her plan. I'm not sure if she was realistic that she could turn Hope against him somewhat...I'm sure she will come up with a plan B

I could picture Billie and Justin's conversation when reading....again you capture the characters so well..

I'm sure there's more excitement to come!!

Liked this episode a lot...things are starting to move.

The teen scene is moving...all the guys like Anne. And Zack wants her. The weed scene was good and realistic.

Blair and Todd's scenes provide a nice balance to the episode.

Eartha and Morris's facade marriage is becoming very interesting. They are trying to make everything look good to everyone else, but inside they are a mess...love it...

Hmm interesting...

The teen scene - that seems to be picking up realistically. Teens being teens...Zack likes Anne, and is jealous of Cory sitting next to her...and don't forget motor mouth Mandy...I wonder if Zack's jealousy will lead him to do something....Sam and Trinity's relationship seems to be building and I like it...

Josh/Reva/Jack - I'm starting to think this will be some sort of triangle. You did capture Jack's humor in some of his lines. Josh is apprehensive about Jack coming to live with them understandably.

Holden/Lily - The government reached out to Holden. Lily is naturally suspicious. I wonder if this job has something to do with Jack's memory loss, and where he's been.

The Davis Family- Now you got me wondering what lie Morris was talking about living a lie, and that he's turned to liquor to ease the deep seated pain he's in.

GOOD SOLID DRAMA HERE!!

Okay let's get to the analysis shall we? LOL

Sami/EJ - Will EJ's plan reunite him with Sami? She seems more happy about this than anything he's done (like you said) in weeks...as she has been dealing with what happened between them years ago (leading to the conception of Johnny and Alli)

Nick - Nick is stepping up his plan. Blackmail members of the Titan board...and using poor Percy to do his dirty work (GREETINGS)...Death will be imminent for Nick.

Anita - She CAN'T tell Brady what happened to him, or she WON'T? After reading that, I think she has an ulterior motive in nursing Brady..

Nicole/Chloe/Eric - you captured them really well. Chloe being the object of Victor's searing stares. and Eric using Nicole as an emotional punching bag yet again...

You capture character so well. Not just words on a page, leading to rudderless plot and bad story, but COMPLEX character and GREAT story.

ONCE AGAIN, GREAT EPISODE!!

WOW oh WOW...the action was non stop....and you kept your humor throughout. The narrative was absolutely brilliant AND the recap for the people who are just starting to read...just a stroke of genius.

I have to tell you, I hate Malcolm for endangering his son's life like that. The way he is talking to him is just wrong and now carjacking Avery. He's gonna get what's coming to him.

I knew all along that mystery patient was Adam. It falls right in line with Sheila's master plan. Another layer peeled back...great job!!!!

The running weed cartoon was funny....Dru and Sheila's confrontation was well balanced with humor and seriousness.

The cabin is burning and at the very least James has to be dead with all the explosives that were attached to him...

GREAT EPISODE!! I'm looking forward to what is going to happen next...

The Union Creek mysteries continue. Who's watching who? Someone is watching Reva and Josh, and someone is watching Todd. I wonder if they work for the same person...or are the same person.

Chic Spirit is about to get launched....I wonder what you got planned for that new company.

Luke and Ben's scenes were hot, reminiscent of Will and Paul on Days of Our Lives. The difference here is that I think Ben is using Luke. Could be working for the same person who is watching Todd and/or the person watching Josh and Reva.

Lots of things tying up and the stories are taking off....GREAT EPISODE!!!

This episode had a lil bit of everything.

Hope and Aiden with their little spat and light humor.

Liam and the danger he's presenting to Jenn, and JJ's emotional tug of war trying to keep his cool.

Sonny and Will's interaction was like a prize fight. One threw a punch and the other threw a counterpunch.

Well written with the foreshadowing. On a small scale, Gabi's text to Will, and Victor wanting to see the receipts where Brady is concerned. That receipt is very valid. LOVED that scene at the end. It wrapped the episode up in a bow.

Gripping episode.

PARTY - I see Sister Patterson came for Leslie again. There's gotta be something there. Malcolm's emotion...tug of war with Neil for Moses. I wondered how Malcolm would be with Olivia, being that they were married and raised Nate. Seemed like he brushed her off, which made me think that Malcolm really is not thinking clearly and lost it, and I think that is what you are trying to convey. Malcolm shot Neil in the chest and kidnapped Moses. I liked the back and forth emotion that Malcolm displayed when Moses asked him about Neil. The action continues..

VERDON LOU- This seems to coming to a close. Cane saw James and thought he was hallucinating. You also foreshadowed a showdown between Drucilla and Sheila. And the mystery patient is about to be revealed.

GOOD STUFF DUDE!!

A quick moving, action packed show.

Really enjoyed the scenes with JJ, Miranda, and Eliza. You've established the triangle, and who we might root for. And you also captured the conflict with JJ

So they robbed the gas station!! BAD ASS kids!! LOL

Nice interaction with Jesse and Kayla. And you are slowly building their friendship...

Derrick has got something up his sleeve. Something tells me he's a swinger.

Loved this episode!! The action has picked up, and the music helped to tie all the action together...

.

JJ/Jennifer/Liam - Very realistic scene here. That Jennifer would not believe JJ based on what he did when he first came to Salem. Very plausible...and I'm really fearing for JJ and Jenn because Liam overheard them, and now Liam knows that JJ is suspicious.

Marlena/Sami - I can definitely see Sami trying to avoid the subject with Marlena trying to dig as only Marlena does.

Victor/Chloe/John/Nicole - Very in character rant from Victor to Chloe, recalling her history with Brady...and Chloe just took it...

Sonny/Will - Sonny finally told Will what he was doing...the beginning of the end perhaps? Sonny has to face the repercussions going behind Will's back like that.

GOOD EPISODE....Very simple episode as we got closer to Brady's memorial service, and JJ has put he and his mother in danger...

This Just Paradise train is MOVING.

Thanks for the mention of Eric Got me thinking of having Henry paying him a visit to dig deeper into Eric's emotions. You write Henry's character very well.. I can see Henry saying everything you are writing for him.

Stefano is using and lying to Greta, just like a soap villain..lol

I LOVED the Eliza/JJ/Miranda scene. Eliza spices things up definitely, and both girls appeal to JJ....part of me wonders, though, if he could handle Michele (also played by Denyse Tontz LOL)...

Emily and Lucas....what an interesting pair...I could just see the catfights between Kate and Emily, both whores...lol

GOOD EPISODE!!

Jack is getting memory flashes...hmmm...interested to see where this goes.

I can see you setting up the teen quadrangle...

I wonder if Todd and Blair have ever told Sam about his mother Margaret, and where his father Victor Lord Jr is. I wonder if the fact that Todd and Blair aren't his real parents will play somewhat..

Malik/Marah/Danielle is also being set up.

Nice scene with Blair and Tea talking about (who else) Todd and Dani.

I like how you are establishing triangles and future stories...

This delivered man!! What a well balanced episode with comedy with Sister Patterson and Drucilla, and the darkness of Malcolm and Sheila...

I'm starting to wonder if Sister Patterson has a connection to Genoa City.

I've waited two years for this moment and it is delivering. Malcolm has completely lost his marbles. Pointing a gun at the woman he raised Nate with, and what a perfect setting for it all to happen...

Verdon Lou is coming to a climax...Nobody outsmarts Sheila...not even Mary.

GOOD EPISODE MAN!! KEEP IT COMING!!

Thanks all..

you're catching up huh Carl...lol..thanks all

Thank all

Thank you all for reading...

LAURA/SAMI - Sami is doing the mature thing by getting help, but as soon as I thought she turned the corner, she reverts to a familiar form when she finds out about Titan TV LOL

JJ/JENNIFER - Soap interruption when JJ attempts to tell Jennifer about what he heard a few minutes earlier. NOW this is moving

BRADY'S MEMORIAL

Good to see Chloe return. Brady had a very big impact on her life and vice versa.

Victor is obviously distraught about his grandson. He had already lost Isabella and now have to deal with this. Gotta be hard for him, but no it's not Chloe's fault about what happened to Brady.

SONNY/WILL - I'm glad you are exploring this. TV's Days writers do not hold Sonny accountable for what he does. Going behind Will's back to stop him from getting a job is grimey, and any spouse should not go to those lengths to stop them from making a living (this is a soap so it happens and makes for good story). There needs to be repercussions from this, and I'm looking forward to seeing what those are going to be.

GOOD work!!

Interesting episode...

Jack's amnesia is driving stories here, and I like to see that in soaps. Todd is now brought into it.

The teens are being teen agers...I like the realism you show with them, although I think Anne would have punched the number in her cell phone rather than write it on a napkin.

Morris was doing his job, but dang you gon put Jack out of the hospital? He got long money from his adoptive father Harper lol

Good use of history with Holden's amnesia..I remember that when he returned to Oakdale...

Good one!!

It's good you are instituting a teen scene. It was a lot though at one time...but I still look forward to it.

Jack will be living Josh and Reva, and Josh is uncertain. I know there's way more to this story.

Ben and Luke's interaction was intriguing a la Paul and Will on Days Of Our Lives. I wonder what slopes they'll be hitting.....

Hope/Aiden - Good opportunity to put them together. I also liked before hand Hope's road rage. Seemed very realistic and your description, as always, was on point.

Sami/Laura - I'm glad you are dealing with Sami's emotions about what happened that night when Lucas was trapped, and EJ forced her to have sex so he can get Lucas out. And now she dealing with all those emotions. A grown up move for Sami in getting the help she needs.

Victor/Sonny - I could see this play out on TV. Your description of Victor's looks I can completely see, and never took away from the dialogue or told us what happened. And I'm not really feeling Sonny in this situation, and Victor is right. Sonny is going to drive Will away. Will it be to someone else? We'll see

JJ/Liam - Uh oh...JJ heard Liam. And of course shady Liam probably has an idea of where Abigail is...and why.

I love the way you describe the character's expressions and moods. You find a great way to give those visuals without revealing story or plot. Something I need to do more of on Another World. Good episode
