Them facts. Very.

LOL. Well since both shows ended...7 years on one and 2/3 on the other...and they were fan faves before she upped and took a break from acting...yep.

Weeeelll...*shrugs* Well, she went on to better things so blessings. A time!!!

Lol. I don't know if Heavenly or Quad would let that happen.

And AM.

And if worse comes to worse, Jason (another of her men) is a very solid 'in case of emergency...' hehe. You would. 😜 Very. It's very special. Dare I hope she heads the Episode Count again? I love having so much Liz after YEARS of her being background rather than being up front where she belongs. I'm living for it.

Oh, yes. I love this moment in time where Liz has soooooo many relationship options who she has a story/history with...and she's not paired to prop up one of FV's pets. I am loving it. Yeah Ric could be paired with just about anyone right now, too. Cute. Cool! That triangle had potential to go the distance if allowed. That killing was a mistake. Yay!!!

Thank you!!! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. Amen. Speak on it!! If RJ is not going to be used in ways that make sense in the stories going on...at least give us something to look at.

Ewwwwwwwwwww

12-17 You know what? Before the Year of Tortured Heroine, I actually liked Sasha. Or the idea of her at least. And between the interchangeableness of her and Willow, I always felt Sasha had the edge because she COULD be a potential bad girl. But since the reveal of her being a Scorpio, she just comes across like 'Making Fetch Happen' to me and I'm over it. Which is my way of saying her/Sonny scenes were mostly zone out material. Though she does get my sympathy for it being the anniversary of the loss of her baby during the Year of Tortured Heroine. Lulu vs BLQ. I'll take it. And I was on BLQ's side. Because we have seen her growth on screen. It's just sad that Lulu would not give her a break. First time Lulu was really in the wrong. That said...I continue to love the energy that AB is giving. I know we all say it often...but she's such a great recast. I feel like she's always been in the role. However, the anvils being dropped about 'summer camp' was reeeeeallly overkill. God, let that story have a rewrite. Oh...Martin lost his accent again. But what really is starting to bother me is the more that I see Laura, the more I'm reminded that she's NOT IN SCENES WITH HER JUST AWAKEN DAUGHTER!!!! And then I *side-eye* But I can say the same thing for Lulu's brother. But that's okay with her brother because I enjoyed the battle of Liz's Men. lol. Ric gives snark like no other man on this canvas, and he STILL kept it professional. Or at least I felt that way. He was dead on serious about Liz's case. Lucky just wanted to play hero. And I thought the adversarial energy was decent. Not Jason-level, but good enough to want more of it. And I love the sweater Rebecca had on. And swoons...Rick is such a silver fox. Ha! So Jason is in control of the Charlotte story now while Anna is in control of the hospital serial killer story. Okay. I guess. So over whiny Anna. Maxie continues to be love. Her trying to get through to Cody and also checking Tracy while still keeping her sass. YES, PLEASE. Ugh! That ending. Robert and Holly aren't even in town. GO AWAY. Not Jim Henson!!! lol. I agree as well and why I said what I said earlier about chemistry. By just not doing anything with Gio and Trina...little bits of bonding and no cutesy/meet-cute scenes...they now have chemistry that generated so organically that now it's possible to see them together. Which is a shame because now Trina has a new love interest doing most (not all) of the things that make people immediately not like the pairing. When if they treat Kai like how they treated Gio...with little bits of bonding and no cutesy/meet-cute scenes...I feel the same thing will happen with Kai and Trina. And bonus...she's generating chemistry with both males that come across organically and not forced. You know, a young soap triangle. But I hope they circle about around to that rather than insert Emma in the spot that has Trina's name on it. I agree about the Joss and Trina friendship as well. If anything came out of this year, I would say that their friendship became more on equal footing. Heck, the last six months or so, I feel like Joss has been Trina's talk-to rather than the usual Trina is her talk-to. Their roles have switched.

See? I remembering reading some of that, but I didn't know Patty and Ian...ewww.

Patty?

Yep. Pretty much.

Yeah, I agree that those worked in spite of themselves. They should have shown them earlier than now. It's CZ and RW's chemistry. And they found the emotional thread in them losing Mariah/Claire respectively. Hard to do for psychoses.

12-16 Okay, that was good. My only nitpick was how the Tracy/Lulu reunion was basically and abruptly just dropped into the middle of a good episode, destroying the momentum that was going on in the episode. And that has NOTHING to do with JE and AB who did a great job. I'm immediately in love with their very immediate rapport. But before Lulu showed up, I loved the gang-up on Drew. He had it coming. Michael was able to give a little bit of wrath. And then he let Tracy and Ned right in. I LOVE them tearing Drew apart. And he's clearly running scared when his smug self is reduced to begging. And then him at Willow's door...omg he's obsessed. I thought the Dante/Lulu scenes were cute. Of course, Dante was giving straight man to Lulu's feistiness. And there was for sure spark. And yay!!! As Dex's death showed a pattern. And that pattern appears to be leading into a LIZ'S story. And so far, she's still Lead. Good. And darn it if EM was not selling her grief as Joss. I will always be here for Nina vs Carly. And Carly was soooo being CARLY!!!! I didn't realize how much I missed her annoying tail, but lol. Now you know we all didn't think it was Heather originally. 😜 And it started all right. Yeah, I believe she will. The real question is...will her brother be on canvas by that point? Hehe. Oooooh @Antoyne I arrived. The gasp I just let out. Let the fight of Liz's men begin!!!

I blame it on the rewrites.

12-20 Wait! Are Mariah and Tessa about to be adjacent to the front burner? I know I've been enjoying the next misses between Mariah and Ian, and how she could sense him around. But him getting close to Tessa is soap delicious. Fingers crossed. So Jordan and Ian are close like THAT? Uh... It lost a little bit of 12-19's momentum, but it was a nice closer.

Indeed we do. Hehe. True. Well, I guess I'm in the minority, but I liked Rory. And that was also a potential good triangle that could have happened for Trina as well...cut short (pun unintended) by the mess that was the Hook.

Awwww Merry Christmas to you as well, @soapfan770!!!! To a great year for soaps in the next.

I hollered all the same.

While she sat there so unbothered. I was hollering.

Chemistry not forced is a funny thing. And make me three. Even SOD was talking about this on their page for their now-online BEST OF.

Very if true.

When you all talk like that, I expect her to be a bad girl just like Joy over on DAYS.

Not 1000 Stars!!!! lol.
