I am watching that story right now! I think there was a big tonal shift in Brenda around the time her and Jagger hooked up the second time and Sonny/Karen hooked up. She wasn't just the spoiler of a bad girl anymore. She was still a sorta bad, but she had more layers with Jagger, Robin, Stone, Karen, etc. She seemed more vulnerable and root able at that time. I actually felt bad for Brenda in the situation with Jagger on a human level, not just because I thought Karen was super lame (which I still think to this day lol). Anyhow, Brenda was a mess, as someone said above, but she was a really good girlfriend even to Ned, AJ, and Jason. I really love the Ned/Brenda relationship to this day. On Days: Isabella/Carly Jen/Kristen/Billie

Obviously all the brenda friendships : lois, Robin, Lucy. I also liked how her and Karen overcame everything to be friends. GH: Diane/Alexis DAYS: I always liked Marlena/laura when JLB was playing her Belle/Mimi/Chloe before it became a partner swap

Anna/Finn and Jax/Nina are so boring. I used to like Anna/Finn in the beginning too. Jax and Nina have always been dull although I thought they had a chance when MS was playing Nina. I truly don't believe either couple was madly in love or anything, so when they say it I am bored. But then again no couple on this show seems madly in love lol. I liked Brando when he first came on, but now that Dev's dead and the Molly stuff is over, what is the point of him? To pair him with Sasha? ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Yeah, Mac's character clearly changed directions once Monty left. I guess he and Felicia had stories up until 1998-1999 when I think the Tale of 2 Macs was his last real leading story. And I think everyone, including JJY, would like to forget that. It's too bad because I think JJY is a decent, if bland, hero that could have led stories for years instead of being Uncle Mac or the bumbling commissioner only.

The way Gina said "JAWN" instead of John grated on my soul.

JJY as Mac as worst? The Australian accent was dropped after a few months lol JM as Stefano as one of the best. I did not know he was American for years.

So shrill and loud. But that's always been LW's version of Carly. She's the opposite of WR and KeMo the whisper twins... The coffee monologue actually made me eyeroll and giggle at the same time and the dramatics of the thrown coffee cup. Sonny would be proud of her destruction of glassware! I would have cracked up if she hit the moss instead of the wall. But a least Donna got her bi-monthly shout out so we remember she exists.

As per usual. She is so self absorbed she has her own pity party when Liz is going through the same thing on that very day. This is one of the first times I felt like she actually felt sad about Sonny dying though. Is Jason allowed to be more concerned about Jake than Carly ever lol?

Not that I didn't like the Cam/Zander scenes, but it's ridiculous they ignore Lucky's role in those kids lives. GV's Lucky was a great father to those boys even when he/Liz weren't together. He always considered Cam his son. But I am sure if Lucky was on the show they wouldn't even acknowledge Zander was Cam's father so I enjoyed the scenes. They easily could have written the Cameron dialogue as Lucky tried, but I still needed you or something.

4 if she goes through with the Rex stuff and they are basically all related: John, Brady, Eric, Rex. John in Paris in 1996 with the mirror, Brady as fakeNicole, Eric with drugs, and Rex with fakeSarah. At least John/Marlena have a house I guess. There was a period of time the townhouse disappeared and Jarlena were conducting their life from the Pub. The worst was when Steve was living with Hope and they showed all the scenes of him sleeping on the little couch in Hope's living room like Hope doesn't have a guest room. Lol

Haha about Chase. It's totally a situation where they have no definite answers, but let's just blow your life apart in case a 1 night stand led to a baby. Michael and Willow are like a Xanax, Sominex, and Ambien combined. And Wiley is so messy! They spend entire episodes picking up his toys. Umm..have you not been watching this show since 1995? Of course Sonny has all the skills. Some amnesia isn't going to bring him down.

I honestly would pair up Jason and Carly to get maximum impact. But I would definitely have amnesiac Nina/Sonny hook up. But no baby lol. Jax/Carly wouldn't be as fun because Jax vs. Sonny has been done to death. Jason vs. Sonny I can get onboard with.

If I have to watch a Sonny/Jax/Nina WTD story I will never recover. Sonny has about 3 too many kids already. I guess we can give Jax another kid since the 1 he has is basically being raised by Sonny anyways. But I assume Ingo's days are numbered due to everything off screen and I don't think there is a huge faction of Nina/Jax fans in the world. I did notice today that CW's hair was starting to look more and more like LW's. Ugh.........

Ugh the Belle and Brady aging bothers me more when the constantly reference Jarlena's affair and Sami kidnapping her! Phillip wasn't really used much after his initial story, so I was okay with him. Plus we always have EJ to really mess it all up. I don't mind Orpheus either but he's become silly. This man hates Jarlena forever and ever, but at some point he just gave fake dead Marlena to Stefano instead? Was that ever explained? I liked Zoey. I guess the casting issue made them drop the character completely.

I actually think your line of thinking makes sense with Marlena/Ben and the possibility of him being a long lost child . And I don't like it, but it sort of a fear of mine too. Most likely, they are just using Marlena to prop Ben and make his killings okay since he's 'cured' now. But we probably shouldn't put the idea out in the universe in case lol. I am not sure the point because Marlena caring for them in the past wasn't necessary or really important to plot. But, again, the Orpheus stuff has never made a ton of sense since Roman is the one that killed Orpheus's wife, not John. And I still don't really get why Evan or Orpheus care about Ciara much.

Oh yeah. Thanks! Another child that throws off all timelines even if Orpheus is his dad. I don't know why I thought it was Ben. Someone who should be older than Sami/Eric is a contemporary of Will lol. Well I at least liked Robin and grew up with her. I assume they will just ship Ciara off screen to be with Hope and Ben will hook up with Claire. I would think about recasting Ciara, honestly, if they are going to keep Ben. I am not that attached to VK or anything.

Wasn't there a rumor Ben might be a 1986 John/Marlena kid? Or was that just weird Cin stan's fanfiction? Obviously that would completely throw the timeline of everything off, but I am surprised another Marlena/John kid never popped up. It would be very Ron. Is Ali Sweeney's schedule throwing things off? Because the Sami stuff was just dropped after a few days. And Marlena hasn't interacted with her at all has she? I hate the Townhouse. It must be huge though. I feel like half the town lives there. I would literally not care if the Penthouse was the only set in Salem, just redressed every scene because I loved that set so much.

I think watching Sonny play poker might be more boring than watching Willow/Michael name drop Wiley 100 times in a five minute period.. I know that MB has guarantees and stuff, but he does not need to been on everyday doing nothing. Why do I not remember Franco and Nina being involved at all? I genuinely can't remember a single thing about them. The Finn stuff was okay. I think if I cared about any of them I may have liked it. JS was pretty good in them.

LOL. I actually think the murder story could be good. It's the pacing that sucks, but that's been Days problem forever. I care more about Charlie's murder than this Kristen stuff. Or honestly the Ciara stuff. I can't with Ben reciting Romeo and Juliet to her. GROSS. And seriously, what kind of love do Kristen and Brady have if she can't trust him not to have sex with Chloe? And why so many "jokes" about Chloe's boobs?

She does sort of look like a blonde Ciara lol. I never thought that until you said it. I always thought she looked too much like Allie.

Like Maxie is a pretty girl. Why are they making her look ugly? And they dress her awfully too. I know she gained some weight, but her styling is atrocious. Wes Ramsey is what he is. I don't think it's him really. It's just an awful character. I really like the idea of Nina/Sonny although i think it's off brand for Sonny to go for a blonde. Even if it tracks with his dreams. If it was a random petite, brunette I would buy it more. But like I said it's the ultimate betrayal to Carly/Jax. So yeah! Own your crazy Nina!

Not Vanessa................😝 I met SBu in real life( a non-fan thing)and he was hella short. So i can only imagine MB's actual height......

Sorry my bad I thought Lipton was 18. I don't think they look inappropriately young in the way, say Lexi Ainsworth did (and lol still does). Or the way Amber Tamblyn did or Kim...but they got real stories. I am not saying a 17 year old Eden should be paired with a 30 year old man like Karen/Brenda. But can they do something?

Rh is way too old to be Lucky, right? Please tell me I am right? GV was pushing it as far as Lucky's age. Lucky should be in his mid-30's now? Maybe late 30's? I can't even think like that lol Yes. The kids don't do anything except cry over deaths. I want my teen scene to do actual teenage things. I know Eden is still underage, but the rest aren't. I just don't get it. KMc was underage and played huge stories. Obviously, she is a better actress, but I think all the kids are talented and could do more. Carly's only daughter should have some sorta edge and she's the ultimate good girl. ZZZZZZ.....

I definitely think it's how you take the performance. Acting was involved so I don't want to say too much. He was trying, unlike half the cast, so I will give him that. He's definitely the best teen actor on set.
