Well, it doesn't help when the writers themselves are too bias to see what is in front of them. Carly is definitely at her best with a rival. Especially current Carly. And out of everyone...she has her picks from Ava to her most recent one which was with Nina and which still has legs even now if they would write to it.

So you are living the dream. ;P

Great minds... Fingers crossed.

HAHAHAA!!! So that is what that picture the other day was about. She really does not love that man. I love Unhinged Willow.

Don't tell Dani that. ;P

Double post.

The rewrite (even when we heard it onscreen) strikes again!

1-13 Now that I'm done using the app (bad form, CBS, not loading up the episode on my system when I see 1-14 RIGHT THERE)...that was another good episode, too. You know that I have to start with my favorite character. That's right...NICOLE. I loved her having the meltdown. And as I thought...they are going to take their time with this triangle (sorry, folks!). And for the triangle to even work, they have to build up the sides. Which for now is Carlton and Nicole (sorry, folks!). Which I thought it was a good showing. When he was talking about his history with her months ago, he sounded like Nicole was the one who got away. Naturally, he wouldn't take advantage of Drunk Nicole. Good. If they are going to do a triangle, I don't want Carlton going psycho yet. And if he does, I want it to be organic. A good showing. Another good showing was Anita showing up during sexy time between Dani and Andre. I continue to see the undercurrent of tension between her and Vernon which is good to keep the main story alive. However, as much as I loved the Anita/Dani scene...I just have to get this off my chest. When the show started, there were hints of the relationship between Anita and Dani being more prickly. And there have been heres and theres. And now it just seems gone. And I'm sad for that because I found it intriguing. Now that I FINALLY got to see Grayson. I liked him. And woooow it honestly looked like the Ashley I liked from the first episode was back. There was some chemistry, there was NO (or very little) of a neurotic Carrie Bradshaw coming off Ashley, and I look forward to more. Ooooo so now we see how Naomi is going to be moving forward. Just like her grandmother and her father, rather than deal head on, Naomi is just going to try to avoid as best as possible and wall the feelings in. That organic trait could totally grow into a good story for her and Jacob in time. And I loved Jacob's father was there for him for once. I did like the Vernon/Andre scene. But I do wonder if something is coming with all of this talk about the Dupree women.

Hahahaha

And it was good fun, too.

lol

Now you know they won't do that. smh. Well she has Val. ;) But that's what I've been saying for a while. Of the big three, Jason is the one who still has mileage to be used. Carly would be 2nd. And Sonny dead (pun unintended) last. And Carly hasn't been used for much outside of Brennan in a while. Which is odd given her own connections.

I know you are being careful due to the subject matter, but last week was pretty good and so far this week is looking in the same vein. There wasn't too much of her last week though so I guess they are making up for it this week. Her trifling tail was hilarious. And her talking to herself (the tv screen) was giving me flashes.

I meant to say that it's funny you used tribe because that came up here in my quarters among friends as of late.

So cool!!! So they can run the show for a while. :)

It made perfect sense. It's something that I believe in myself. Just looking at the various people that I've been attractive to. There have just been too many people in my life who I never thought of them as anything when I met them or just a friend. But being around long enough and time passes and well...things happen. Your comment honestly made me think of a coworker who wanted me at random (?) to judge his strengths and weaknesses as a coworker. I found it odd given the circumstances, but I've always have had great observational skills and have trained several people in various jobs so I feel that I am good at pointing such things out. For him...I felt he is very personable with the guests...even when other coworkers or even myself might find him slow...and that can go a loooong way to people having a good experience and wanting to come back. His weakness is his lack of self-awareness. In this case, a LOT of information is thrown his way and his memory is not the best. I personally suspect its due to outside factors (from again observations of him alone, him and his relationship with his mother who I work with, loose bits of info+ public interaction), but I've had given him strong tips as best I can so he could grow in that department. But horse, water, drink. :) But that's me speaking professionally. Personally...I have a crush. I'm too professional to pursue such a thing, but I am self-aware to pick up on it within myself. But a lot of the qualities you mentioned above is what I've noticed in him as I got to know him. I also notice he has such low self-esteem about it and found it maddeningly. Cuz if he didn't have that, I feel he could go far professionally and personally. I got the impression before we both did major schedule changes that the feeling might have been mutual because he would ramble on about things that made no sense...as if he was trying to say something without actually saying something. Which took me aback. If I had time...which I never do at work...I would love to sit down and just...talk. And he loves to talk. But I just feel that is a boundary I should not cross. And while I see a lot of good qualities in my coworker, I also feel there's still a long of growing up and learning about yourself there to do. I'm still growing, but I would be perhaps too far ahead in my own self-development. It probably why I love that Scott resonated with his vulnerability with Kip even though he was soooo scared to voice how he felt and did it anyway. But to be fair, I've done that before, too. Okay now I'm rambling. Like others, I loved what you said. Awww those most definitely were the days. I liked Claire Labine then, but I feel that if I was to sit down and watch her now I would just love her. All I have are my memories of that time (Luke and Laura came back and it became Must See for my mother so I slowly started to follow along; OLTL became my favorite ABC soap). As for William Bell, just a masterclass to me. People talk slow it, but he always had layers going on with his characters which was something I noticed and liked even when I was young. Amen.

1-12 @Maxim COME GET YOUR GIRL!!!! She's acting like Kristen Dimera again...right down to talking to herself! lol. Well, I see this week is off to a great start. While there's no sign of Anita (but explained), it's nice to explore another angle from her story. In this case, the reveal that Dani has the gene. I was living for the Dani/Nicole scenes. I do admit that I am finding it a little odd that it seems like such a bigger deal when it seem like Nicole was a carrier...well worry coming from her kids Martin and especially Kat. While it feels like something is definitely going on with Naomi in the reaction scenes, it really does not seem as major (?) as it seem from Martin and Kat. I guess the writing just needs more time to feel out Naomi and Chel's individual POVs. We got weeks of stories out of Kat and her feelings and some for Martin's. I wonder if Naomi and Chels will get more of the same. I admit that I like that there has been an uptake in Ted/Andre scenes. It was getting to be as rare as Ted/Martin scenes. With his scenes with Shanice, too, it felt like the impossible might be happening. I might be coming around to Ted. And awww at Andre trying to mend fences between Ted and Carlton. Bill...HOW DARE YOU!!!! It feels natural? REALLY?? I didn't like his dialogue at all. After all, he LEFT her. Thank God, Andre (and Sean) stepped it up and let Bill know what time it is! Good to have the Bill/Dani/Andre triangle active. And oh my God! That red dress! The hair! The camera angle! The...talking to herself! Hayley continues to channel Kristen Dimera and I...AM...LIVING. It was hilarious. And I hope that Tomas hearing her is another way for him to wind up exiting the canvas. Good cliffhanger. Ashley continues to be better as supporting.

Same. But we always knew Brennan was on borrowed time so...

1-9 You know what? I thought that was a pretty good week actually. And now we got another gay character with a bubble on canvas, too? YES, PLEASE. I guess it was good because there was some movement. I have been enjoying the Taylor/Deacon/Sheila triangle (though why is Li Sheila's confidante...I know why, but still doesn't make sense). And after being a nice B plot, it was good to see it start to have more focus. And twists. Deke having an issue with the marriage! Steffy overhearing Taylor and Deacon! Taylor and Deacon almost kissing! Just messy, but good. I like Daphne, but I could care less about her marrying Carter. I wouldn't believe him, either. Where's Thomas?

Short version...he threw her off that Wyndermere parapet. So no love lost there. She was on the right side of (Cassadine) history with that one. But I had already timed out of viewing when the majority of their history happened (I came back a few episodes briefly after the parapet throw) so someone else can answer it better than me.

I didn't even think of the possibility that bringing Ava in would kick Lucy completely out of the story. If anything, I thought another case of characters who should be in an A or B story being put in another C story like what they did with Ric when Ava, Alexis, and Kristina was holding him or Ric/Ava/Lucky/Liz being in the backburner. I hoped that since there has been such a heavy emphasis on mentioning Ava vs Lucy in dialogue that would not be the case. Then again, that heavy dialogue might, in hindsight, be a case of block filming. Moreso methinks because we haven't had another scene with the ladies. YET. And I'm really anticipating their next scene I see. Such seeing Lucy feisty was good, but when REAL Ava leaped out for a few seconds...just ooooo chills and drooling at the possibility. Ooooo I LOVE that idea. Lucy and Laura with Sonny in the middle (meaning Maurice might have to show up) would be a gold mine of story. And YES to Ava trying to become a power player again. Her getting her money back from Ric shows she still thirsts for that power. I'm surprised that's an angle the writers haven't tried to use yet. And I'm soooo here for cunning Lucy. There have been (too-brief) moments of her popping out as well. I mean she has started and run businesses...that's nothing to sneeze at. IKR! re: ADA. I don't like her at all anywhere else, but she was great against Alexis in the courtroom. I wouldn't be against her in court scenes again some time soon-ish.

Hissss!! lol. But seriously why I don't like them I understand why you do. But too much elephant in the room and silly (not funny IMHO) writing for me to take them seriously. However, I do agree on a happy Cody. Come sit by me, Girl cuz SAME. I loathe them oh so much. Also agree. I can't believe Willow has me rooting for her.

Yay!!! I can't wait to hear about it. I'm sure with Dame Joan, it will be worth the wait.

Well I take it that with the announced news that a new WSB Director has been casted AND is Sidwell's accomplice that Brennan's days are officially numbered?

Good tea. :) Ooooo vaca.
