Oh for sure. I was just curious if we are supposed to believe what Lucas is saying because it's not something playing on screen and it hasn't in years. It seems the show is going really hard on Lucas continually saying that when he could easily just say EJ has been a horrible human being since the beginning of time and that would be more accurate. I am not against it in theory. It's just she finally seems settled with Shawn and the show has made an effort to establish that. Again Carrie/EJ would be where's it at. Belle's too wimpy to constantly go against Sami, but Carrie wouldn't care. And it's better than freaking Rafe. It worked very well. I have never been sold on Ericole as the be all and end all for either character, but AZ/GV are great screen partners. The past two days have been really good. I feel like I am going to be annoyed with this predictable Cin/Theo stuff though.

Good stuff by both her and GV! Next week I feel AZ will be back talking to that bear though. I loved a lot of the lines Nicole said about being destructive and hurting herself. And Eric admitting to his own selfishness and part in it. It was the best outcome we were going to get without GV coming back full time and it closes the door on Ericole for now, but leaves the possibility for the future. Why is Phillip cleaning up the pub? I thought it was weird yesterday and it's still weird today. I have to laugh at this Cin stuff. It's pretty mean to marry Theo on the same day lol. I want to root for Theo/Ciara, but we have seen nothing of their romance. We don't even see them together. They spend all their time talking to others about getting married. I don't get Lucas's narrative that EJ treats Sami like property. That's not what it has seemed like since he came back at all? He seems apologetic for past behavior and nice to her. Obviously, this could all change on a dime, but nothing on screen is lining up with that at the moment.

I am a day late, but I don't think this historical moment should be forgotten lol. Since we are talking about Belle.....

I was never a EJami fan, just a James Scott shirtless fan, so if they don't end up having much chemistry I am fine with them breaking up. AS and BD's Lucas have plenty of chemistry, so it's fine. I have a love/hate relationship with Belle. I want to love her because her conception was so fabulous and love John/Marlena, but I have never been a fan. It's not Martha at all. I thought KS's Belle was an obnoxious twit too. Martha seems lovely and consistently does great work, but Sami is right. Belle is a 'wet noodle'. That being said she deserves to be on the show and I don't want her written off-I just want to tell her to shut up a lot. Similarly, I have never taken to Brady either. The last time I enjoyed those two was when they were played by adorable children. Belle does seem very devoted to Shawn and I don't think that's changing, but an EJ/Belle pairing would be deliciously soapy. If she did that to Sami I would like her so much more lol. I don't think that's what the show is setting up, but I could get into it. Poor Shawn though. He always gets cheated on. My dream would be for Carrie to come back and hook up with EJ

Just other peoples. She's clearly fine committing her own infidelity.🤣

I actually wondered where Ava, Rafe, Abe, and Allie were. It was basically all Brady's and none of Nicole's buddies except Chloe.

Nu EJ is growing on me. I immediately thought I wasn't going to like him because he's just not as hot as James Scott. Petty, I know. He's doing okay though. His lack of chemistry with Ali/Sami is troubling. I don't know if it was this board or someplace else, but someone did randomly suggest a Belle/EJ hook up. Maybe? Simpering is a good way to describe Belle. I think Martha Madison is really great, but 98% of the time Belle annoys me. She'll be fine for months and then she will act how she did yesterday and I remember why she is so obnoxious. John's belief in Sami was strange. Even Marlena and Roman knew she was up to it lol. I am glad this finally propels Nicole/Eric forward. I know GV is leaving, but this does feel like something Eric will eventually forgive. Let's face it. Nicole's done worse.

I have talked a lot about my hatred for the show SORAS ing Belle so early. It irritates me so much she is basically Sami's age and they reference things that happened on screen when Belle was a baby and Sami was a teen. Shawn and Belle were cute for a minute, but it's a whole lot of nothing today. WTH is Shawn? I think Jarlena's only child should be so much more amazing than she is.

😍 I love it. I am confident one day Frank will slip up and we will be allowed nice things again like Brenda Barrett Corinthos.

Belle was being pretty Judgy Mcgee with her take on infidelity considering she committed it several times and wouldn't exist without her parents affair. I like that she hates Sami so much and John is like " no Sami would never..." John you have known Sami for about 40 years you know she would lol. Good episode though. I weirdly like when Marlena and Roman are supportive of their kids. They work in that sense.

Ugh I know. I was in that position recently and was miserable. Luckily, some things ended up going my way and my husband got a big promotion, so this job was just for "fun". It's definitely not worth the discount lol. I think there is just so much confusing info out there. Some people are telling me it's literally impossible others are saying it's completely possible to get it while vaxxed. Who knows? I know I have it lol. I can only focus on myself and my loved ones and try not to spread it. I can't worry about other people's stupidity.

So I have definitely heard there are false positives especially with the quick test I took, so I am going to the actual doctor in a few days to get re-tested. I know the first time I had Covid I tested negative after exposure then tested positive 2 days later. It is something to think about because my case is very unlikely to happen. Anyhow, I am just laying low and quarantining regardless. Luckily, I am in the financial position to not have to go back and I think that's most likely for me. If my boss is going to refuse to vax there is no need for me to put myself and my family in danger. The job isn't worth it lol.

I think it's because Robin (at least at the beginning of their friendship) seemed a lot younger than Brenda. Not just physically, but Brenda seemed so much more worldly even as a teen. It didn't seem like they had a lot in common as teens, but it evolved into a really genuine friendship. Robin was the good girl to Brenda's bad girl, but even to this day I think Robin is someone who would follow Brenda's lead in things. I think it felt a little awkward for Brenda to have a friend in high school while she was in adult stories. Lois/Brenda just immediately clicked even though they didn't seem like they had a lot in common either. RS/VM had a great friendship chemistry from the jump. Lois and Brenda always seemed more equal. I also liked Ned/Brenda, Sonny/Lois, Ned/Jax were all such good friends. It was such an odd choice for the show to make Brenda a woman every other woman hates when she was clearly capable of strong female friendships. Her and Olivia or her and Sam should have been buddies. If I had to choose I think I would say I prefer Brenda and Lois, but the show would tell you Brenda/Robin is where it's at. I like both.

I loved it too. BFF's for life, even though Lois/Brenda are never mentioned lol. The shame about Rena's 1997 appearance is she shared no scenes with Ned. I guess WK was on vacation/they as a couple were on the rocks or something. I always thought it was disappointing Lois never got to be in or appear in one of Brenda's numerous weddings.

I think the vaccine is effective. This seems to be a fluke. I only know of one other fully vaccinated person that's gotten it and I think about 85% of people I know are vaccinated. Strange things do happen. I feel worse this time around than the first (which was about 8 months ago), but it's more of an energy thing than coughing/breathing problems. Thanks for the well wishes!

Thank you all for the well wishes! People are truly being careless! Most are not vaxed in Vegas and walk around like they are. I am very sensitive to taking precautions because my husband got Covid very seriously and my 40 year old former co worker (at a different workplace-part of the reason I left) passed away due to it. I am in good health overall so it's pretty rare to get it again, but things happen like this. My boss was selfish, but she put it down to political reasons for not getting the vaccine and, while it is a well known luxury company, they still don't have set rules on this particular issue. I assume they are coming and they are fully paying for my leave and health, but I am sure a lot of companies are the same. We are NOT essential workers, but things have opened so I rolled with the punches and lost. I thought it was impossible to get it with the vax but I guess not. I will say, outside of my boss, I do deal with a LOT of people in a day.

Thank you! I am okay, and have always worn a mask at work, but things happen. Vegas has like no rules right now. And I am just irritated I can get it again with vaccination but I guess it's possible with this variant.

I am fully vaccinated and tested positive for covid yesterday. I work on the Las Vegas strip and my boss had it (she refused the vaccine) and now I have it. And it's my second time having covid.

Her and Robin are so cute, but so are her and Lois. I can't choose. Adorable besties too.

I haven't notice a voice change. He's always had that gruff voice, but he's practically filled that grandpa role and is doing weird things in the background. Him and Deidre did that in the past as well. It's just distracting. He def used to be more natural. Idk, he looks like he's enjoying himself so whatever I guess lol, but I want to take away his caffeine or redbull because it's alot.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't call her slutty at all. And I agree. She's a young girl in her 20's exploring her sexuality. I didn't think she was overtly hitting on Eli and if Theo is her ex that makes sense too.

I never thought RC/Skye really gelled with GH but I did like Jax/Skye and thought Luke/Skye were fine. It got weird when she was a Q then wasn't then hooked up with Ned. But the character has legs for sure. As the most die hard Brenda fan, I had completely forgot about her money issues too. This clip is so adorable. I love Robin/Brenda so much. Such a great friendship

Puerto Rico was the best by far. I like some of the stuff in Montauk with Jason and Robin. The Jax/Brenda Malibu house was amazing though. OOf. Again, I am not even sure if Ingo can vote. I have no evidence he is even a citizen. Full disclosure, I met him once in a non fan setting and he was super nice. I can separate Jax outside of Ingo as a person, but I can understand if others don't. It's a hard topic.

Ingo has definitely lost his accent pretty much. When you hear how thick it was in 1996 it's crazy to notice the change. I actually think MB as Mike is better than him as Sonny these days. At least some of MB's charisma shines. Sonny has become such a dour character I think it's an okay change. I feel like GH looks like a million bucks compared to Days, but when you think of the fabulous location shoots they used to do it is sad.

I see a lot of underlying issues with Chanel but I definitely wouldn't call her slutty. Maybe confused and acting out, but I don't see her as overtly going around town trying to get laid lol.
