Yes, because Michael has mentioned the pain he is still in. The show really loves to make Sasha the perpetual victim and she's been through so much tragedy I have a soft spot for her too. There's no real benefit here for Willow except to make Sasha suffer. If you are going to start committing crimes and plotting revenge at least do something that would help you in the end lol.

Hendrickson's part was very dumb and a waste. She played some sort of DA that was out to get Sonny and they flirted with a Sonny pairing. Her father was killed ages ago in mob violence by Sonny and, Idk, she just stops appearing one day lol. Very easy to forget. It would make a lot more sense if Willow gaslit Michael and started moving the baby around when Michael was watching him and plant pain pills making it seem like Michael's an addict, so he can't even be around Daisy. Thus, creating his family, co-workers, and even the judge to question his abilities to work or parent. That would require way more critical thinking and timing than Willow is capable of though lol.

I agree killing Sonny off would take a hit with viewers overall. No one likes him here, but he still has a lot of fans offline and in other corners of the internet. I wouldn't be against MB taking a long break until the show bites the bullet and hires Vanessa back though. The ADA reminds me more of Claire Walsh, who I suppose was a Brendbot, but they have the same lack of charisma, monotone delivery, and intense agenda to go after Sonny-until they fall for him.

Oh, you know I have zero problem with Willow's villain turn. Hopefully it leads to a long line of crazy, unhinged behavior. I just dislike the reuse of everyone thinking Sasha's crazy. It's like the only story she ever has.

The way Michael caught Drew/Willow was through a nanny cam. You can't tell me Daisy wouldn't have cameras in her nursery. Sasha probably said no due to her independence from Michael lol. I don't think Willow would even have a key in the first place. Michael/Willow lived in the Gatehouse. She may know of doors that are often open and could possibly bypass security since she knows the grounds. It's still silly though. The endgame on this is still weird. Willow makes Sasha look crazy by moving the baby around so Michael ends up getting custody? That makes no sense.

Correct. Peter Porte deserves so many apologies. The fact that Gwen was also such a good friend to Leo regardless of her own faults was just the ugliest thing when Leo betrayed her with just a passing thought. He never even felt much remorse. Just called her a few times when she left!!!

Agreed. I would never say I was a fan of Gwen but I did feel bad for her during the Dmitri story and don't mind her too much.

I am really tired of the Sasha getting gaslit stories. I know she's not the most exciting character, but this basically happens yearly to her. Although Willow doing it is funny. I hope she goes full on crazy town. I just wish it wasn't with Sasha. Doesn't Michael have nanny cams still?

I don't disagree. I suppose Sophia wouldn't have to travel with her pillow since she would be with Melinda, as I was under the assumption Melinda was accompanying her. Idk, I think we have to put some medical logic aside for this considering this is Days. We still don't exactly what Melinda's plan is so there might be some method to the madness here.

If Salem is actually based on Salem, Illinois, it would be over 4 hours to drive to Chicago. Technically there is an airport in real Salem, Illinois so that trip would only take about 30 minutes. But none of this is real so who knows lol.

The actor is 36, so he probably is too old, but I don't really care that much about the story so I don't really care that much about the age lol.

Oh got you. I understood it as 14 days total to reclaim the baby. I didn't realize there were different hoops to jump through between 72 hours and 14 days.

Lol! I was just thinking today that Vaughn looks a little old for Joss, but whatever. She's an adult and had has serious relationships before. It's better than Emma flirting with Professor Y&R. As far as Vaughn's acting, I haven't noticed it being bad and he's obviously a very attractive man.

Wiki says Tina Huang is 5'5 1/2 and EOB is 5'6 so they are the same height. The show said Sophia had 14 days to claim the baby and I assume that's still true. I believe Sophia had the baby 2 days ago in Days time so they still have 12 days to wait. Melinda also said it was only a day trip. I doubt Amy Choi wouldn't notice her 9 month pregnant daughter gone for 3 days lol.

I find the Felicity/Xander stuff a bit preachy, but it doesn't bother me too much. I can see how Felicity would feel infantilized by Xander's gift given the way I am sure some people treat her like a child due to her disability. To be fair though Felicity is in high school, not in her 20's, and a lot of teenage girls like or collect stuffed animals. Sophia had a stuffed bear on her bed. Holly probably would have taken that stuffed dog, just saying lol. I am confused about what Melinda's plan is. I am sure we will find out, but are they going to Chicago to find an adoptive couple, saying Sophia had the baby, taking the baby back from Leo/Javi, then giving it away again?

Truth. Mansi has her flaws, but I don't know who could play Kristina in a likeable way.

Even though this has been happening for years, it astounds me that Kristen is allowed in Marlena's house at all let alone allowed to sip tea, sit on her couch, ask for advice and proceed to insult her a few days after her husband died. And Marlena is the one that ends up leaving. It makes me furious at Brady. He can't meet Kristen anywhere else?

I have to agree. There have been moments when the show has tried to revitalize Laura and position her more front and center, but the character has been a mess for years. Genie does still get a lot of airtime, but most of her scenes are rehashing what she said a few days before or hanging out with Sonny. Unfortunately, with the failed Lucky return she has Lulu, a non-existent romance with Kevin, unseen baby Ace, and her purpose sometimes feels aimless. I do believe it's been by design as far back as the Richie era though. It's not specific to Frank, although he hasn't helped lol. Good point about Molly's year taking some of her spark away. The problem isn't just Vaganos, it's Molly as a character. Molly's as aimless as Laura these days but without the legendary performer and history.

We don't know what Melinda is advising her to do. That's a theory. I think Melinda could find an adoptive parent in that time. I was thinking Melinda was going to have Sophia pretend the baby died in an out of town clinic to be honest, but I haven't read a spoiler. Melinda sold the necklace, IIRC. She sold it for a profit because she didn't want the trouble of it or take a loss by selling it back to Doug3.

Considering Jax bought and trafficked a kidney for Joss I would say he bought her out of one very big situation at least lol.

Lol! When I think of the WSB I definitely think of Carly and Jax's dimwitted daughter and not Robert and Anna's grandchild. SJB's Carly was so annoying in the moment when I was young. I am the same. I realize now how great she was. I didn't outright hate her Carly ever. I just was irritated with her more often than not and that was probably the goal there. I'll give Van that as well. He has a more lighthearted, fun energy than Carnes. Although I am used to a more stoic Lucas. I assume Sasha?

On a different note, even Emma listing off Britt's "witty" pun nicknames makes me want to punch a wall.

I think with the loss of Sam, which you and I care little about, Molly becomes more important in some fans minds. Alexis needs her girls! Frankly, all of them need (or needed in Sam's case) a long break. Molly being Rick/Alexis's daughter is interesting. It's not as interesting as Kristina being Sonny's daughter though. Outside of her parents there is nothing to differentiate her from any other woman on the show in the same age range. I am not the biggest TJ fan, but I'd rather see him deal with his issues than watch Molly flirt with Cody.

I actually don't mind Melinda. Tate and Holly are both annoying. Sophia just never seemed annoyed at Tate. It would have been nice to have some progression and a growing resentment of him that built up to this choice on her part.

Ha! I knew you weren't holding out hope for BRS. The show did a great job casting Bruner. I hope at some point we get to see her interact with KMc. Yeah, it's the high drama I get stuck on with him. Van isn't awful. He's just a very different Lucas. For me Molly actually mostly existed off screen before Pullos' DUI. So I never really thought about her post-twee kid years. She'd just pop in, do a scene with the "DAVIS" girls, say her and TJ are great, and live in the other non-filmed part of Port Charles lol. I still can't believe the show was really going to do the surrogacy story with HP.
