And don't think she (and Jax) haven't commented.

MMmmmm...there's just something about Ashley in the driver seat that is just...AWESOME. And now she wants Tucker to give his company to Devon. Oh, how the tables turn. I don't care how gimmicky it seems...I like seeing Daniel and Lily together. And they're bonding over their separate family drama. Awww. See? The more I see Nate and Victoria make out, the more silly it seems that Nate would have confessed to the takeover over Elena. He don't love her. Makes me think it was more about him vs Devon and the rivalry than Elena as a person. Especially now that he and Victoria have kissed twice. And I loathe this WTD storyline, but the writers can keep right on finding ways to get JM out of his clothes cuz DEAR BABY JESUS!!!!!!!!!! THAT BOD!!!

I am not at all hating RH being Number 2 on the Year Count. And love her, TB, and (BK being close at 11) being high on the month count.

I wouldn't mind seeing sparring couples. lol. That is so true though. It's funny that Brady definitely has businessman experience but it's never really used. And he has the dark side to play a business raider, but...alas.

3-1 Daaaaarn. I was so hoping that Liz would have a devious killer in her corner. Cuz it looked like she was going to need it. But alas. lol. That said...KG was acting her butt off. And I felt her hurt, pain, AND wrath on her face when she cornered Scotty in that office. Speaking of darn (again)...I knew Willow was not going to die, but had them fingers crossed. I do like that they faked out that phone call. If this was RC (or Lucky Gold writing), I was expecting stall, stall, more stall...and then we would have a drag out on the reveal that Dr. O was a match. So happy that was not the case. I was hoping that Willow would be at Death's door though....along with the shipment story going down...so Michael could be in a position to lose EVERYTHING. Speaking of the shipment storyline, that Sonny/Dex scene was PAINFUL. And that ending...yes! So...where do they go from here? Stick with the recast or is someone coming back to their role? Hmmm. And now that it's tied into Austin's storyline...WHO is the person he's working for...or used to. Cuz at this point, it's been rewritten so much IDK. Uh oh...I liked the beginning of the week was a breather, but it does feel like momentum is dropping. And...when was the last time we saw Kristina. Seeing Molly made me wonder.

She...did...WHAT???

Mmmmmmmm

Michael Darby...the gift that keeps giving...

But...story that Liz will have. Just a lame attempt to have them bond as they gear up (or stall) for the climax of the settlement story. Like Joss now having more and more scenes with Michael out of the blue. I said that as well. re: potential for Dex. The actor has been selling all that you mentioned, but it is just the getting together with Joss...well, the writing of it...that has let him down. The anvils of Laura redeeming Esme has been clear since Esme showed up in front of Sprina with no memory. It fell to the wayside for a month, but has been increased greatly over the last month and a half. And now Heather has Laura in her sights for perceived slights, too? It definitely makes sense. All of it now that Esme's reveal of paternity. I'm honestly surprised at the history and tension between all involved and legacy characters at that. And also excited.

Ahh! Thank you!

I definitely get a grin every time I see Kelly's being in use. Because there was a stretch of time it was kept alive only by reference from the characters than actually seen. And the fact that Cameron works there...like his mother before him...warms my heart. I really want to say that Bobbie still does own it...unless she sold it off during the period of time when I was not regularly viewing. And I feel like the apartments upstairs were referenced within the last year or two, but don't quote me on that. Mmmm...Brenda...

I don't dislike EM either. And while he might be how he looks on PASSIONS, I still find him quite attractive. Moreso honestly. That said, it's a testament that he (and NB) have made some of those pairings work. But when one thinks Brady and relationships that have gone the distance...Chloe, Nicole, and yes even Kristen come to mind. Otherwise...as a romantic lead he is played out. I do love and think he would be great if they would take him in the directions both of you suggested. Either Dad mode or Adventure Dad mode.

2-27 See? THAT was what I was expecting last Thursday and got Willow all up in my face. After all of that crazy action, adventure, and acting, a breather episode before the next twist. I am feeling the broken souls vibe that both Spencer and Trina are putting out and playing really well. The melancholic family tragedy of it all. That they are parallel to each other resonates and shows how they are made for each other. Perhaps it's my love of Wuthering Heights showing, but I liked the Jordan/Curtis scenes, but I couldn't help but wonder what happened to the dynamic energy that the actor that played Curtis used to give off. He was kinda low vibe in some parts of it. Jordan had more energy. I have mixed feelings about Liz. On one hand, I was very worried given how the writers fumbled the Liz and her parents arc and seem to be leaning her back into Finn's direction, that Liz would vanish back into the woodwork. So happy that Liz is very much involved in things OUTSIDE of Finn. Mixing it up with Ava. Her part in Nik's holding Esme. Things having to do with HER. On the other hand, did she really have to confess? lol. But that said...her and Finn. Ugh. She was so free. And I like her having something meaty to sink her teeth into. And AM continues to be a revelation as NuHeather. I can still hear her screams. In this case, her pain...her longing to connect to her daughter. And then to see vengeance in her eyes when they fell on Laura. I knew it was coming when Esme stumbled into Laura's arms on Spoon Island so those scenes were superb. I always like when GF allows Laura to show some edge. Some fire. And AM...who has been playing layers since she took over for Heather...for the first time showed a Heather with a threatening menace to her. And the fact that both characters are legacy brings a whole other level to it since I really can't recall them mixing it up much. So I'm more here for Heather vs Laura than Laura vs Victor...which honestly is petering out again.

Agree. They did to her what Y&R did to Sharon's character...rather than make her the heroine she was meant to be. And just like Sharon, it took the writers years to rehabilitate her character after so much bad writing. I liked a few of the other pairings for both of them. But it seem like right when a writer would start to write toward a reunion for them something would always happen...whether it was an exit, a writer leaving, a new character...it was like everything but the kitchen sink. The fact that I can even pick on Brady a la Brooke just means that he probably could use a break. They have plenty of villains so no need to turn Brady to the dark side...which outside of the Chloe pairing...is where EM usually took off. Cuz he as a romantic lead is kinda played out. What a time.

I agree. I was such a Broe back in the day. So it was so maddening how they never went back to that well until the last few years. But to be fair, there was a time where it seem like as Brady was becoming free or leaving, Chloe was coming back or vice versa. Like ships through the night.

POTOMAC Oh, lord!!! Patricia Bailey-Thomas stay in the mess!!! And then...

HAHAHAHAHA

THIS. Hehe...I just saw the first one yesterday...hehe...

Hahahaha!!! If I only still lived in NY...

Ooooooooooooo

WHAT? No way! You know he has to be the Brooke Logan of Salem.

2-24 Still dissatisfied, but I have to admit there were a few things I liked about this episode. Lily vs Devon vs Nate...that scene at Society was a hoot because 3 way argument. And as I've said often I do like it that they are trying to at least keep Devon vs Nate as a rivalry even though they are in separate stories at the moment. I also liked the Olivia mention. She would be in Nate's face if she was there. He's right. Now...how about BRINGING...OLIVIA...BACK. Jeremy and Phyllis just need to sleep together already. And I see the role of Paul is now being played by Chance. Which I find funny since wasn't he trying to leave the police department. But there he was with Jack and Diane acting like how Paul got when Victor or anyone doing something underhanded made him flustered.

There was a really great picture I saw when I was diving for pictures of him. I am hoping it was for an upcoming scene given that Dollar Bill said he was going to try to force Finn and Sheila together, but it was too big for the forum. But I thought he looked reeeally good.

I feel you. CBS loves to pull that kind of stuff. Their player did something similar last week with some of the episodes which was part of the reason I found it hard to play catchup. I don't know what's up with them.

Thank you, Cat. I think it's a case of just the weather has been swiftly changing so much that my sinuses can't keep up and I feel really, really congested and my body is reacting to that. Just today the weather has gone from warm to cold to dark cloudy to hurricane winds to pouring rain to a sprinkle, to clear skies to sunny and then back around. The cold to rain was in the span of 8 minutes or so. But it's been really really weird over the last week or so. We even had a freak rainstorm Monday night...no warning...at all. Where is my sunny days? lol. Even a clerk at the convenience store I go to mentioned that there might be a stomach bug running around so going to try to stay careful and liquid up as best I can. And I might not like Tampa Ralph, but I can't knock that picture at all.
