It's funny that you worded it like that. I believe ES used those sentences to describe Higley...which was a sign (and the fact ES made a comment publicly) that helped usher her out of OLTL's doors. I think that is how I was feeling watching. It used to be that you would have a story and it would have a beginning, middle, and end and it was paced out well. DAYS The Killing Pool comes to mind as well as IMHO the Articulates story on BTG. Even the messy Ashley DID story on Y&R sorta. This Drew shooting does not even feel like that. Just plot point to plot point like Anna having the same scene for weeks when she is smarter than that. Yeah, Pratt definitely liked his juicy.

I will always be here for Chels vs Tomas just like I'm here for Chels vs Hayley. She shows neither NO MERCY.

Well, Anita, if you don't want to sweep Barbara back under the rug, then you know SPS will be all up in this. Well, you dropped the ball on several things, Ted so...

Hehe Hayley and these near-misses (and when she changes her tone in scenes with people) is straight out of 90s DAYS. I get a giggle. Get your screen time, Laura!!! And I love that this fundraiser is about mental health. But about Barbara? Yeeeah Laura is right. If they put her name on it...Silk Press Sheila is just going to want to get her hands on it. OR is that the point? Are we setting up SPS's comeuppance? FINALLY??

Well since I'm at home...ITTTT'S TIIIIIIME!!!! And oh, look!!! An EVENT!!!

It isn't. re: overall show. I am planning on tuning in for the upcoming wedding so I've been using the show as background music. And the best I could say about Monday's episode is seeing a fine actor in his boxer in a dream sequence. Nothing else is going on that I care for. But like I said in the normal thread, if it isn't wedding related, Jess Walton related, Josh Morrow's bubble butt, or just seeing some vets, I'm just not interested. And that last news/spoiler is just going to drive me away again.

Wacka wacka!!!

He was. He did.

Wuthering Heights?

I shouldn't at all like it since I know it cheapens his legacy, but I did like the intro scenes to GH's Halloween either 2013 but more than likely 2014 where Faison was dressed as Beetlejuice and looks directly into the camera and say TRICK! to the Trick o Treaters. I liked Ander Hove was game to do it. Overall, I'm happy given what the anniversary to me is that I made a (little) bit of an effect to watch horror movies this year. STAY (2025 version), SCREAM 7 trailer. CELLAR DOOR...though it's more of a thriller. SINISTER finally. TRICK OR TREAT.

I'm currently reading BLOOD AT THE ROOT and I totally see that. LaDarrion Williams is doing the same. I love it with Jazmen, but I know it can be very hit or miss with some. See? Now you are making me want to study her episodes when I watch them next. I bet she's responsible for some of the family scenes I've been loving then. Niiiice tea.

Same. Eileen Davidson spinned crap into gold. And she had chemistry with TSJ's Tucker. But alas...

lol

10-27 All I took from this episode is that Michael Graz looks good in black boxers.

So have I. I was worried about Jamey due to what I've read around here, but outside of maybe his second breakdown...which was still good...I have liked his stuff so far and find it highly entertaining. PS. I will keep that in mind about Danielle and Jazmen.

You can add me to the group who like Vanessa. She's highly watchable...whether she was with Doug, playing mindgames/power moves with Joey, or just having a ki-ki with Dani 'LONGLEGS!!'. And whether I feel for her or just want to shake her, I definitely feel invested in her. She (along with Doug and Joey) did have the most well paced of the B stories on this show from 'go!' And we still haven't even scratched the surface with her. And the actress most definitely is a find.

Same. Cliche for sure, but it's so hard to find adorable teens on soaps these days that I don't mind it.

I loved today's episode. And yesterday's while I'm thinking of it *cough*danivanessa*cough. It really makes me wonder how aware Production was that this would be airing Halloween week. And that I love. Samantha can shut up. Moreso now that we know June was right about Nathan. That said...Ty and Jessica were so cute and adorable with the matching chess costumes. Since I'm not getting young couple cuteness from Emma and Gio at the moment over on GH, I loved we got it with them. I'm a fan. Don't hate me. But I love the whole family unit. I really love the Nicole/Vernon scenes with special guest SPS Febreeze. We don't get them often and the horror fan in me was loving all the references. I have so much mixed feelings about the Ted/SPS scene. First of all...ugh told you...straight man to her crazy. And I can't believe he would even let her anywhere close to him. That said...I also liked the talk at the same time. That was the MOST mature she has ever been with him. NOW if she was like THAT, I could believe she could organically get Ted back. Okay, I can still believe SPS can with her shenanigans, but I liked that talk and the friend attempt even if at the same time it's ridiculous. And yes @Soaplovers, I totally rewind when Andre said that. But Derek is clearly in 'hide the truth' mode...he sat back down quick when he heard Ashley's voice. And then Ashley not helping her case by turning into Neurotic Ashley (ugh) when Derek was trying to set the date is only going to fuel his insecurity, making him hide his secret even more. Add on what just happened with Naomi/Jacob, Derek will feel justified to keep it. So giving 90s Kristen/Billie. I am really liking it as a solid C plot. Oh...and Samantha vs her parents has a solid C plot as well. And now Kat's about to get a stray. hehe. Well, we are due another Martin/Kat scene this week.

Very much so. It has me seeing so much red...and I'm a Shick fan...that if it wasn't for the wedding in a few weeks, I would just stop watching again...which I stopped when they gave all of Damian's storylines over to BF's Cane AND kill Chance. I guess this is what it is like to hatewatch? I was just thinking last week that so many of us could think of better stories than what is on screen and your story just verifies that.

YES PLEASE...boxers and all.

VERY.

Hehe. The kind of giggle I needed today. Thank you for the tag.

I saw. Which I've said all along. Though given how I worded my previous post...to be clear...I was not the one saying it was a rewrite. Since I have hoped and theorized that the second major family would either be the Hawthornes since the first time we saw the Elon/Anita scene OR a family for SPS through Dante Green, I was happy at the news of Izaiah.

IKR. Though I liked MAB a bit better. And given the recent spoiler I am seeing red. But hopefully, they will go the way of Ashland and Tara as well.

Now that I have some wiggle room...let me smh. I had mentioned that I was worried about the writers running off the rails. They had been so good at keeping their momentum while shifting between plots. I also got annoyed seeing some of their writing tics picking back up again. It was really reminding me of when GH would have several great months...and then things would abruptly fall off, and it would be annoying as heck to watch. Like from my viewing, there has been an awful lot of talk about Drew's shooting. However, there's been no movement. It started so interesting. Now for me, it feels like watching paint dry. I could care less about Kai and Trina recreating the scene. CM's bubble on those crutches only go so far...though I admit I was Team Sidwell getting Drew right where he want him. I did like something finally happened with Nina and Willow getting arrested. That said...I now have doubts that Willow did it. Either that or she's become that good of an actress. I like that KateMc has been playing Willow in such a way that I'm never not sure if she is going to go off the rails again. Like mother, like daughter. And now Chase is falling under her spell because he's really coming across too invested. I would think BLQ should worry. And I liked Dante calling him out. Now...the storyline that really irked me...Ric's kidnapping. I actually have been enjoying it as we counted down to Ava getting the money back. I hate poor Ava. Give me powerful and monied Ava. And I liked Alexis and Ava on the same side. I liked some of the near-misses more than others (why you teasing me with Ric/Liz scenes when it ain't real?). And I was wondering who would find him...Molly or Liz? So the fact it was CODY. CODY. That was awkward and jarring. It felt like to me either 1) they needed something for Cody to do...even though my mind was thinking it kiiiiiinda worked due to the Ava/Kristina/Cody plot, but that was DONE. So no reason for him to be there OR 2) a way for Molly to be mooooore into Cody...which just didn't feel organic to me. Also not organic? That Ric...for now in the moment...LET THE THREE LADIES GET AWAY WITH IT? Ric who is all about the payback no matter how much he has changed? AH clearly tried to find a way to play that organically with his body language and facial expressions, but NO. I just can't believe that the writers sucked the drama right out of the story. I just smh. I'm actually in awe that the turns the ALIAS storyline took. And I'm surprised that after picking and picking and picking on it, I was invested. Perfect time for it to explode before November Sweeps, too. I had mixed feelings about Carly only getting the partial truth. Cuz these writers do like to tease a storyline out to the point that when we FINALLY get to the end of it...I feel nothing. So Carly getting the WHOLE truth. LW gave such a masterclass. I felt Carly's fury. And I really and truly felt her vs Jason when he told her the truth and that tear fell from her eye after she just unraveled before that. And I really like that...so far...she has said NOTHING to Joss. It surprises me at her keeping it to herself and how LW is subtly playing it as Joss keeps tightening the rope. I can't believe that I want to see what Carly does next. Meanwhile...I agree with the mentions that I've seen. Surely Brennan's days are numbered. Especially with Valentin (ugh) sniffing around onscreen again. Speaking of... So the Nathan Return storyline has stalled. What a shocker. RME. That said...I do like Spinelli as proxy, asking some of the things we have said here. And I still say Britt knows what's going on and that that is not Nathan. And now Faison's name has entered the chat by Brennan and Val. Ugh. I did like the scene I watched with Brennan and Anna over that though. And I don't like the writers are about to use Charlotte (I'm really loving the recast) to prop up Britt. Speaking of... Yeah...Britt's return is a flop. I know I'm in the minority, but she left in a good place. And after a good start, her return to PC has just flopped. Not helped by the heavy amount of propping they have to do rather than...I don't know writing her? I now can't stand to see her on my screen because I just know it's going to turn the scenes into some illogical sitcom. And they can keep that. I don't have an opinion on the Veronica storyline yet. Outside of the in-joke of her name. I'm curious to see where it goes. And I do feel a vibe of there being more than meets the eye. Is she just wandering around town or just seeking information? I feel the latter. But I love seeing ES on my screen again. I just wish they would stop writing Tracy as a harpy. I do like the Qs being in the middle of Veronica vs Tracy though. Ooo and I though the Gio/Veronica scene was cute. Sidenote...the giggle I let out when I was just talking about Lucas and Marco last week and to see them together.
