Two big reveals...the new Lily. Meghan Good....hmm interesting choice...I'm wonder what direction you are taking this character...

Devon has learned the truth, Nate switched the paternity test to show that Moses was Neil's son when he is Malcolm's son. Little does Devon know that Hilary and Malcolm already know, and that Hilary is the one that told Malcolm. Great setup...Nate and Hilary will be over before it even starts after he learns what she did.

Sister Patterson and Leslie. She be coming for Leslie. I'm starting to wonder if there's some kind of connection there.

And Philip's family learn that cocaine was found in Philip's system. Chance will figure it all out...hopefully he won't do something reckless..

Good episode!! Looking forward to what's next.

Well what to say...here we go.

Hilary got her eyes on Devon. Abby will have another rival, albeit unexpected.

I think Sister Patterson balances the episode very well. And her over-the-top-ness fits well. It is almost heartwarming to see her do her thing, and Roxanne's comment was funny. It was very lighthearted and very necessary for this episode because...

....It's starting to unravel a little bit for Sheila. James was gonna do a suicide bombing, and then her treatment of her daughter Mary. Now add Cane to the mix, who's there for some pipes, and they have nothing to do with plumbing.

Good to see Philip's family there for him. You know I am pulling for him, and wonder what the next phase is in his life. Terrible ordeal that he went through, and I'm sure it will affect him in some way.

Good one!! Balance of light and dark...

You have really embedded your writing style in this episode. Comedy and drama...a good mix, and it fits...

I think Avery is trying to do some self preservation, that's why she wants to get head start on Paul, because she, too was snorting coke and enabling Cane, and now Cane is out of control..and headed to Verdon Lou.

I see new friendships forming...Daisy and Rox, now Abby and Hilary, all based on their disdain for Roxanne.

Sister Patterson's campiness is becoming very welcome, mostly because I know she fits your style. I like to see it.

And...Karynn...all she can think about is her smokes and beer. I'm a bit disappointed in her, but I think deep down she loves her brother.

And who is Lauren applying makeup to?

Good episode

Very deliberate paced episode....

Henry/Paul/Barbara - Nice that you brought Henry to town, and he is disapproving of the restart of BRO. Funny seeing these three, who all have a connection to Eric in my version of Another World (Paul and Henry are his older brothers and Barbara is his sister in law lol)

Nice tender family moments with JJ and Jennifer. Just every day son/mother interaction.

Billy and Paul bonding over drinks in a casino, and yes I immediately thought of Billy's gambling history, and you did, too....great job!!

What kind of business is Katsu running? Looks like a trafficking/laundering operation. Up to no good.

And Stefano seems to know something about Bo's whereabouts. I'm glad that you left it ambiguous about whether Stefano is actually involved in Bo's disappearance.

Nice job!!

Looks like the music at the end is going to be a staple of this show...and I like that you are building an identity.

JJ/Miranda - these two look really sweet together and great capitalization of history by using their music backgrounds to bond...brilliant.

Greg/Marcino - These two seem very close, and beyond the gay relationship that I see brewing, I see depth and it makes it more meaningful....i like.

Barbara/Paul/Emily/Eliza - I like the snarkiness between Barbara and Emily. True to their interactions that they always had, being that Barbara never ever liked Emily, and never ever will. And I immediately wonder what Eliza and Barbara have cooking for Ms. Stewart

Ali/Kayla - Good to see Kayla reach out to a young abuse victim, being that Kayla herself was raped. I wonder what more there is to Ali. Why is her boyfriend beating her? Why is she accepting it? This story is very realistic and poignant. Domestic abuse will always be an issue in today's society.

Jesse/Angie/Natalia - Natalia is okay and Jesse tells her what happened. Is there more to what happened to Natalia? Was she targeted on purpose? Was the gang just a front for someone who really wants to get Jesse? Maybe the guy who kidnapped Cassandra and sold her for sex?

Keep up the good work!!

Thanks all for reading...hope you all will enjoy what's coming...lots of good stuff

Thanks all

Thanks Carl...

Lots going on here. Very packed, but I like how things connected with Ali and the Gang.

Billy and Brittany reconnecting much to the chagrin of Marcino. I like how slow this is moving.

So Steve is going off on his mission with Terrence.

Jennifer kissing Jack's picture was good in the sense that Jack is alive and probably in the next town over.

Greg and Marcino seem like they have a little bromance (or more) going on...

Things are starting to move in PARADISE.

My thoughts..

Karynn - Yes I have wanted to see more of her. I do enjoy her quirky character, but underneath there's someone who cares and loves. Yes she enjoyed Karl's checks, but deep down I see that she loved him and that is why she took care of him. Now that he's in a LTC Facility, what will she do? Who will she love? Who will love her?

Nate/Hilary- The Golden Envelope...hmmm what's in that? Probably the paternity test lol

Devon/Abby/Roxanne - He finally stood up to Roxanne and told her to get lost, as he should have. And Roxanne can't cry about Devon proposing to her, because as I recall, she turned him down. So she needs to go GC Nights and have several seats...

Avery/Phillip - Glad Phillip has been found, and I wonder what this will lead to for him...and Avery.

Nikki/Driver - Nikki's dancing is just a way to remember her best friend, and I wonder if "Driver" is gonna stick around for Nikki, and become a thorn in Victor's side.

I admire how you have kept Katherine alive through Karynn, and Nikki in this episode...Good job!!

Here we go...my thoughts...lol

Morris/Eartha/Trinity - I liked that reveal that they are not happy. Set up beautifully, with Trinity making the reveal...now we gotta find out why

Gary/Todd - Todd's scenes were true to his character. I can see Roger Howarth on TV saying the things you wrote for him. You capture this well.

Blair/Dani - Dani is steadfast in keeping Todd out of her life. Why this time? Where's the man she feels and thinks of as a father, Victor Lord Jr?

Luke/Ben - Ben was checking out Luke's ass, but I'm sure he's a plant for whomever is trying to throw Luke off their trail. Will Luke fall for the hot guy?

Good methodical pace and story movement in this episode.

Jerome Grant is coming...Sheryl and Jordan's old friend...clever way to bring him onto the canvas

Nick/Kate - Nick is playing his psychological games with Kate...love it...little does he know that Gabi's playing him.

Sonny/Will/Victor - Sonny means well but he needs to butt out. He seems a little controlling about this..

John/Kayla - Kayla has been summoned by John. Like that aside about Steve...

Kim/Billie - Kim's emotions come to the fore here, and I like to see that, and she's getting satisfaction in serving Billie that restraining order

Good episode!!

Thanks all...welcome back Carl!! Miss your comments

Lots going on here...

Eliza/JJ - Eliza is reminding me of Theresa Donovan. She is trouble. I wonder how long it will be before JJ sees it.

Emily/Lucas - An interesting pair here. If Emily thought Barbara was a tiger, wait until she deals with Kate Roberts. I don't think she would approve of this at all. Good use of history in remembering Lucas is a recovering alcoholic.

Kayla/Angie - Looks like these two are going to become friends. And yes their husbands are doing their duties.

I wonder what caused the signal to fade on Bo's computer. The search continues.

Kate/Victor - I've said it 100 times but you capture these two so well. Victor is going to be watching Kate, well he might uncover a lot of skeletons in her recent closet.

Sami/EJ/Jennifer - I wonder if Jenn is going to start looking for Abby herself. She doesn't seem she's going to give up that easily, or accept EJ's "Business" explanation.

Kayla/Roman - Roman continues to struggle with memory loss. Warm moment to have his little sis with him during that scene. Glad you are moving this one along.

Daniel/Billie - ewww

And finally Kim served Billie with a restraining order...the BLOOP moment!!! Billie must have a dumbfounded look on her face...

GOOD EPISODE!!

I see you establishing the younger set at the high school. Seems realistic and interesting.

And Jack has no memory of who he is, but he set in motion a pending investigation, which is going to open up a whole new can of worms.

And Lily's modeling search doesn't smell good, nothing to do with Lily or Marah, but I sense there will be danger.

Good episode.

A lot going on in this one...gonna attempt to put it together...

I am very wary of this Katsu guy, and I hope he doesn't manipulate sweet little Miranda...

Barbara blows into Paradise, much to Emily's chagrin. Takes me back to As The World Turns

Jesse is in the right place at the right time? Those kids are about to commit a crime.

Good use of history with Steve calling Kayla "sweetness" and their ongoing effort to find Bo.

Good one...

A very well balanced episode between romance and mystery.

I really like how you are slowly building the stories...of course the main one (to me) is Jack Deveraux!! LOVE IT!!! Now we have to find out where he's been. His state of mind, and who was holding him hostage.

You seem to capture the character of Reva, the old spitfire Reva that she always was.

The character driven drama between Dani and Todd continues right where it left off on OLTL.

This is gettin good buddy!!!

John voted 'No' to keep Titan TV, so now whoever buys it has the power to sink EnerNext....Interesting twist...

I liked that little near miss with Nicole showing up just as she was going to find Nick's pills that Gabi gave him.

Kate oh Kate, what are you up to? I suspect that she's right in the middle of the way the vote went, but not in the way Victor thinks. She always seems to be one step ahead of him.

Marlena alarmed Eric then tried to take it back. Too late Dr. Evans. You've already let the genie out of the bottle, as Roman becomes more confused. I'm looking forward to seeing this story move along...

Good one as usual..

I smell some money laundering going on with Paul.

You got my Michele meeting JJ lol...good set up there.

Emily took a shot at Meg...low blow.

I like how you use each characters' histories (Jenn, Lucas, Daniel, Angie, Jesse)

I enjoyed reading this...

OOOhhhh I'm liking it...

The Mystery Man has arrived and is now in Reva and Josh's orbit.

Marah and Malik...hmmmm

You capture the Todd/Tea/Dani dynamic very well...looking forward to seeing more.

This is a turning point episode...I feel like the train has started to move from the station....

SUSPENSE at the board meeting. Which way will John vote? .Love how you capture every moment. Victor sweating, Kate whispering. Great job.

Gabi seems sure of herself. We could only hope...

Nice romantic moment between Will and Sonny after their disagreement.

And very in-character for Jennifer to go sleuthing, and the added fuel of trying to find out where Abigail is only intensifies the situation.

Good bridge episode...can't wait to see what happens next.

Loved the walk down memory lane with Billy and Brittany. You addressed where Bobby Marsino was also.

Poor Natalia. Is she dead? And I wonder what this will do to Jesse...and Angie.

Eliza is TROUBLE!!! LOL...

I'm starting to wonder if the ISA is trying to cover up Bo's whereabouts.

Good start. The wheels are turning..

Lots going on here...and of course, the mystery man has finally made it to the city. I could picture him getting over the hill and looking at the city skyline. That was a very good descriptive narrative on your part.

I see you are also setting up the rivalries and stories nice and slow. Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Sonny/Will - There's the opposition to Will working for Tyler Houston. I wonder what's next for that...or what Will may encounter while working for EnerNext...

Board Meeting - Good ole Victor K didn't get what he wanted, and he sure didn't expect John to show up (neither did I) and Brady is still missing...Justin did the right thing. Titan TV would completely and totally gives biased reporting toward EnerNext. Enjoyed your description right between each lines. You put me right there in the meeting. Really enjoyed that.

Nick/Gabi/Hope - Hope is about to put her detective hat on, but it's working against Nick, just like Gabi planned it...

You delivered the goods as usual...looking forward to what happens next.
