Agree.

4-16 Wow. The introspection of it all. I know it's been mentioned, but I've enjoyed all the discussions going on. Easily the highlight has been Laura/Jordan and Maxie/Felicia. I know it's been mentioned in here about Laura talking about Sonny. But it was just for me how she articulated herself. It was different. Perhaps it's because I love Laura so I enjoy moments that are just HER. Not her new brothers. Not even plot. But...her. How she's thinking. How she's feeling. Like Anna declaring war on Sonny which made sense even though they had gotten closer in the last few years, Laura just talking about it was just good. There's this one moment that really rang true for me, and that was when Laura said if it had been anyone BUT Sonny...yeah she would have thrown the book at them. And now she just might. I found that refreshingly true. And GF did so well with that. Meanwhile, Maxie/Felicia felt more like a mother/daughter conversation than a 'let's get people up to spend on stuff' conversation. And seeing Maxie express how she thinks...how she feels. Again refreshing. Perhaps it's just because they have been background for so long. And now they have a point of view. I even liked the TJ/Gregory talk. And it did what I mentioned earlier that I liked...two people I should have realized are connected and then it hit me. Duh. Molly and Alexis. It was just a cute and organic moment. Trina sighting! That said...I liked what she said. though I felt it was wasted on Dex and Joss. Speaking of Dex...is that the first time he didn't have his dog tags on?

Mmmm Brandon....

Oooo...they are going there!!! Yass!! lol.

4-18 I swear...B&B stay using Y&R characters better (and they look better) than they do on Y&R...LOL!!! I've been liking this stuff with RJ vs Zende. I guess I can say the actor might look silly, but at least he is trying. And he did seem angry to me. Thought there's been a few moments when ironically he echoed RM's Ridge. For better or for worse. I don't like that it appears that RJ is now going to turn this around on Luna though. But least...movement. And going back to my first comment...HELLO, LAUREN!!! I was just about to get annoyed that this was a fly-in cameo regardless of next week promos. But I liked how they did Lauren's appearance. They set it up with her checking in on Eric...which I forgot about his being deathly ill. So of course she would come and see. And she got to figure out what was going on. Then she saw Deacon and called him out. And then I realized...duh...Lauren had some history with Sugar...whether the writers acknowledge it or not heehee...so her being the cliffhanger was cool. The fact LAUREN was the cliffhanger. All Deacon has been doing has been hoping to figure out who Sugar is...and now he has someone. Movement. Well done.

LOL!!!! I didn't mean it and I feel like @Khan would have a better joke using that situation than I, but I still hollered all the same.

Yeah, I did like the twist of Nick being in on Victor one-upping Jordan and imprisoning her in that room. And Genoa City could use the hero type since Chance has left that throne to play work politics.

That almost sounds like Billy without the low self-esteem issues Billy tends to get...even though Billy is at least a solid businessman.

Oh but that exposure would be delic. So yeah, probably not happening.

An interesting question. I personally like seeing him in Dad mode, but even I would be hard pressed to think of anything outside of that simply because any time they have tried to do something with him...it gets walked back. Given that he takes after Nikki like Victoria takes after Victor, I would think there is an idea there where a story could be sprung, too. Outside of that, perhaps if Dad Nick actually took a firm dislike to one of his kids's significant other and trouble starts?

Well...payback is a...has scruff. hehe.

Ooooooooooooo

Ah! I see. I think you are right as well about KMM. But CD has anti chemistry with just about everyone. Ah! I also see. I hate to even admit that he's grown on me, but it's nice to see the actor still has his 80s hotness during his and Alexis's hot yoga scene from years back.

Perfectly timed. Thank you.

I could see that. I still feel that Jason/Sam will STILL come into some play down the line. More reason to give Sam/Dante more legs to make it more interesting when that day comes.

Ding, ding, ding! I think that's it. I do love Lois still and will always have her BFF'S back so she ain't liking Nina. hehe. Now that you write it like that...lol. It never even occurred to me...the mother AND the daughter. One thing that I've been loving since EK/PM started is that links that I've forgotten about keep popping up, bringing with it interesting story possibilities. And I admit...I've noticed weird sexual chemistry with Willow/Drew over the last few months, too. It could even lead to all of them being written out. Or Michael going dark. Let's see that inner Quartermaine pop out. Oh? What would you have had in mind if you don't mind me asking.

4-16 First thing first...I cannot believe they split up Danny and Cricket again. I can't believe even more that I feel a way about it, too. LOL!!! I mean, I feel like they almost always getting close...VERY close...only for them to be tore up again. I would understand if they would use LLB more. But if they are not, I would not mind them writing her off to a happy ending with her clear sweetheart. Well...that kidnapping Harrison/Jordan story is off to an interesting start. But perhaps it's because I see possibilities there. Before the kiddnapping, Kyle/Claire had an interesting chemistry. And given how the writing has been setting up Summer vs Claire, it's just a new wrinkle...and creates a triangle. I hope the end of this leads to a more organic reason for everyone else to have distrust of Summer. Not that Summer was in the wrong. But it does give a good reset. AL is love so far in this. And I'm surprised that MM is rising to the occasion. A loved character. Moreso for the actress playing her vs what is being written for her right now. Very good. lol. But I'm bias. I also agree...outside of his father scenes which IMHO JM does pulled off though I agree SC pulls it off better...there really isn't much for Nick to do. And I mostly definitely don't want him back with the giggly heffa. I will say that while I didn't want Nick vs Adam over a woman again...I thought Nick/Sally/Adam was surprisingly good at the start. It was only when they threw in a baby that that flopped. Even though he don't deserve her, it did look like they were circling back to Shick after Cameron...that story just fell apart.

I mean...while I'm happy to see Chase and BLQ together...it is going to be crazy if nothing happens at that wedding. And as the first event, I trust PM most definitely has some surprises in store. Funnily enough...a bomb actually sounds plausible.

IKR. I will probably be right there with you when I get to that scene. Though I do feel like it has gotten a mention in the last year or so. But I could be wrong.

I agree. It is going to be a blast for sure that everything should come together in May. hahahahaha

Yay! Good to have confirmation that the wedding IS falling in May Sweeps.

Because more than anyone, LVP has the right to pay Kyle dust. Love her.

Now that I had more time to think of her, it saddens me more. I knew of her as Julia on Y&R, but never seen her. And then to find out she was a writer as well. I was inspired. I knew her as Allegra on GH. The story was bad...but she was a GREAT villainess. Something different. And she had excellent stage presence. Same.

Given that the talk of Marland's Rules are in line with the talking points of GH...uh...quite on topic regardless of opinions on said rules. That said... I have to agree. If I had to force myself to figure out what the main story is...I would say there is NONE. There has just been a lot of building so I would say a LOT of B stories. And the closest that comes close to an A story would be Jason's return and how much of an umbrella story it has the potential to be since it touches on Sonny's crimes, Pikeman, Sonny's meds, etc. It makes me think of last week's Y&R. I said it on that thread so I will be brief as to not do a derail, but Ashley's mental issues was the A story. Each day last week focused mainly on that with a nice twist/movement and a cliffhanger at the end of episode to make you tune in. Eileen Davidson gave a whole masterclass each day, climaxing in the intervention that was Wednesday with good fallout Thursday, helped by all the actors/actresses making up the Abbott family. Emotional coda. I kinda disagreed with the Friday episode focused on another A story, but at least the reference Ashley at the start of the episode and a few times throughout the episode to keep the story alive. I don't like the writing too much as of late, but last week was really well done. Or it could be my love of Eileen Davidson showing. I have confident that PM and EK will get there as well, but right now, it does seem muddled overall though I agree that day to day writing has been superb. I think that might be how I feel more. A mix-match. But like I said on the other page...I feel as well May Sweeps at the earliest to summer at the latest on people gone. I think you are quite close. I really want to say the WSB has what is left of the necklace. After all didn't Laura and Robert have Eileen Ashby tried to fake out the necklace to Victor? Not to mention Holly's arc connected to it as well.
