I am admittedly a Sloan fan. Sloan came off as a villian in the beginning because she refused to see Chanel was a victim as well. That being said, I don't think her view on her mother/father's death was abnormal as their daughter. People do see their family members with rose colored glasses plus both were dead. Secondly, Paulina did commit a crime by covering up Chanel's part in Sloan's mom's death which still appears to be accidental. Everything Sloan did against Paulina and Chanel was within the scope of the law and within her right to do so. Thirdly, the town accused Sloan of doing illegal, horrible things that her brother and Talia did and no one really apologized to Sloan for accusing her. I know after all her paternity lies come out everyone is going to say "I told you so" to Eric, but at this point all anyone can say about Sloan is that she has some questionable clients and went about getting justice for her parents in a legal fashion. She didn't even win. I just can't believe the two people responsible for Sami's existence dislike Sloan so much. Sami does more shady crap on a Tuesday than Sloan has done in her life. Sami was switching paternity tests at 15, but she's our heroine lol. Nicole has done some awful things and continues to never learn. I find it so oddly hypocritical. We are supposed to feel bad for Gwen and Leo!!!, but Sloan's the villian.

Shawn could have lived there. I really can't remember much about anything Shawn did. The last person I clearly remember living there was JY's Lucky, but I am sure people have lived there in the last 20 years lol.

I always thought those apartments were such a great place for single, young people to live and I am surprised they haven't been utilized in the last several years. I am not sure who would live in them on the cast now, but they are useful.

I was thinking they might redo the apartments upstairs depending on if they plan to use them. Carly said she wanted to rent them out and I can't remember the last time we saw the interiors of those. (the 90's?)

I think Eric has some work from his time in Africa and could have used those photographs for a show unless his show is featuring pictures of various places around Salem lol. If you remember, when Nicole/Eric lived in Tripp/Wendy's apartment there used to be a bunch of photographs of "African" landscape and wilderness hung up. Since Eric has been fired multiple times from the priesthood I doubt he gets any retirement.

Needless to say I haven't taken anything Roman has said seriously since 1997 lol. I just don't get the Sloan hate. She loves Eric, the baby was planned, she has a good career, she's pretty, and has her own place (unlike Eric that lives in a room above his family's restaurant). Sloans cons: she's a bit bitchy, she dislikes Chanel/Paulina, and hates chowder. No one knows she's scheming and lying right now. Meanwhile, Eric has no career, no home, killed someone while drunk, and has impregnated three woman this year. I love Eric, but on paper he's not exactly a prize either.

He did ask, but she did say she didn't want to talk about it. Although I agree he seemed to not care at all and only asked out of courtesy. I am more surprised Sloan almost told Melinda about her secret. I actually don't think Melinda would say anything, but they barely know each other. They shared one drink lol I meant to say this yesterday, but i am shocked Roman/Marlena are so against Sloan. Sure, she came into town with bad intentions and all. I just can't see how she is worse than Nicole in the scheme of things. I know everyone likes Nicole now, but she stole Sami's child among other misdeeds and has repeatedly cheated on Eric and lied to him. I get that Eric/Nicole are solulmates and what not, I just don't see how Sloan is that awful.

Tripp lives with Wendy and Li. He moved in when Chanel moved out. I noticed people have stopped calling Steve "Patch" too. I think it was more of a Bo thing to be honest. Kayla never called him Patch and despite what the show tells us and Marlena, RoJohn, Abe, etc were never super close to Steve/Patch during his peak 80's heyday. Patch is a bit of a silly nickname for a man in his 60's tbh. There are a lot of reasons to move away from it. I meant Talia in my previous post not Jada. It's really hard to gauge people's reactions when we didn't see any of it happen and Sloan and Talia have not interacted with the Colin actor is weeks.

All this Colin stuff Jada/Sloan were talking about would have been better if we actually saw it lol. They couldn't get the actor back for 1 episode to conclude the storyline? Everything else was okay. JR is doing a good job with Abe's confusion.

I am legitimately horrified to learn Molly/TJ have been together 11 years. I can't even think of a single interesting thing they have done in a decade except the one time Molly slept with Brando and that wasn't even that interesting. These stuffed animal scenes have to be drawn out due to the strike issues. Not a single person on Earth wants to listen to Molly talk about a stuffed horse for 3 episodes. KM is doing a really good job. Again, I am not sure she's playing Kristina in a way that channels Lexi or the previous writing at all, but I like what she's doing so far.

I didn't even think of that. The cops really must think Rachel is extremely intelligent and left camp and faked her own kidnapping. Or was just hiding in her mother's house and her mother had no idea? It's hilarious the cops immediately believe Rachel, the child, when she said Brady pulled a gun on Kristen, but no one will take Brady's kidnapping claim seriously. I mean I get it. I don't take Brady seriously either, but c'mon lol

She literally sat there and did nothing lol. The proposal was for joint custody. The hearing would be for that. She would agree to the change the two parties proposed or not. The judge just can't change primary custody on a whim especially on the flimsiest of evidence. That's not how court or the world works at all.

Well, Marlena figured Abe would never recover since her one hypnosis session didn't work lol The Brady/Kristen stuff will NEVER make sense. Kristen was convicted of multiple crimes and implicated in like 1000 more. I get she was pardoned, but Brady was never charged with any of those alleged crimes period. How do investigations where he was cleared hold more weight than Kristen's actual crimes? Kristen doesn't even have a lawyer, nor was she asking for full custody. Belle must truly be incompetent. The only good part of the episode was John/Marlena. They didn't really do anything, but a John/Marlena episode always get a bonus for me! Sidenote-was Paulina supposed to be on camera with those sneakers? They didn't go with the dress at all and I don't think we were supposed to see Jackee in those orthopedic shoes😂

I actually think GH has chemistry with Jane too, but she mostly has chemistry with everyone except Joe Scully Jr. lol. It would be more exciting if Chase's dad was a good character and if Alexis/Chase's Dad had any movement in their romance at all. I literally can't even remember his name right now.

I am pretty sure that was the rumor about DG, but his firing was very unexpected and sudden. I know MB went on record saying he was upset about it. They recast Michael basically in the middle of his biggest scenes at the Claudia trial. Very odd timing. The fact DG wasn't immediately scooped up by another soap is suspect too. I don't think CM was cast as Will on Days yet and I thought for sure he would have been in the running for that role.

It'd be worth it to me just to break up Willow/Michael. Same about DG. Wasn't he difficult, but Mo liked him? Although I did like Duell a lot when he was first hired. I always thought it was very strange because DG seemed well received overall by the audience/press.

Very flowers in the attic or Jerry Springer. I having my sister's baby with my brother lol. Again, the most interesting baby story in years. Agree 100%. Drew and LA had a lot of chemistry. I honestly did think they were going there especially since the two of them were the only characters in their age range for a while.

It would be the most interesting thing either character has done in years lol. Honestly, when they recast Michael and Kristina years ago, if they established they didn't grow up together at all because of Alexis or whatever the show probably could have gotten away with it.

I remember there being rumors when Duell was first hired that Michael and Kristina would hook up lol. Thankfully that didn't happen.

The only thing every Kristina has in common is weirdly inappropriate chemistry with Michael. I swear Michael has more chemistry with his sister than any of his love interests.

Lol! I think that's what she was going for. I am not saying she succeeded. Idk maybe she was going for a flapper vibe.

I liked Gabi's dress. I do think she was going for something with a Hispanic feel honestly. I am not sure if it's the most flattering dress on CB, but I thought it was the right vibe for Gabi and her 30th wedding. The rest of the show was pretty stupid. Gwen kept losing her 5 guests like an idiot and Sloan's excuse for Nicole's test results was so thin it didn't have a shred of believability.

I guess my question is why would JFP even want the job? She's 73. Days on streaming would have to seem like a bit of a step down from GH/Y&R with no budget and constant threat of cancellation. Not to mention the employee morale issues. Idk, regardless of what I think of her abilities, I don't see why she would want to do it at this stage of her life/career.

Thank you! I knew she looked different than the girl that was talking to Valentin in the church a few months ago, but I wasn't sure if she was a previous Charlotte. I honestly couldn't pick Rocco out of a lineup and have no idea what he looks like lol. I thought he was around Georgie's age. I think Fernandez looks old enough to be a freshman. Again, I can't remember the Charlotte in between the girl who was with Valentin in Europe (she looked older) and Scarlett though. Seriously, though, how do Sam/Dante fit all those kids in the penthouse? They only had 3 seats at their dining room table with Cody the other day. Only one couch too.

Did they switch Charlotte's again? I swear there was a different one, but this one looks the same as before. I am awful with the kids already and don't read spoiler threads because I am lazy so this could be widely known info lol. I thought maybe Rocco was too young to see his mom like that? But I have no idea what Rocco's age is at this point. It was funny to me because Trina was like, "oh hey Dex!" without pause and he's 10 feet away from Joss and she didn't even notice. It's because Joss is selfish
