I'll just assume that there's a window on the far side of the room that we never see 😂 But I still think their storyline is a little DOA though... and that Andrew should've been their boss.

Today was strangely campy. It almost felt Ron Carlivati-like.

Well, Rafe does love to be a gossip girl, so I imagine he'll continue telling Cat everything at some point 😂

Now, BlackPatch has an establishing shot 😂 I'm glad that Steve is being used more effectively now though. He adds another dynamic to the whole Kiriakis family mess and I hope he continues to be a part of it, even though Stephanie asked him to drop the case. Him knowing the truth about what Philip did could lead to something interesting happening. Speaking of Philip, I don't mind him and Gabi sleeping together but I do have mixed feelings about them getting to this point so quickly. I know that Philip isn't the sharpest pencil in the box lol but we should have seen it all play out, over the course of a few episodes, rather than the two of them just talking about it after the fact. Philip did look hot though 😍😂 I also enjoyed Belle confiding in Philip about everything that happened with EJ. I'd rather she be confiding in Shawn lol but I'm glad that she has a friend to talk to. I couldn't help but chuckle when Ari called Gabi out for doing the exact same thing that Ari did. The two actresses really work well together as mother and daughter. And I'm glad that Will and Sonny are on board with Ari going to Salem U. She should be on the canvas, and so should her fathers lol. Btw, I wonder if Ari's going to react to the fact that her mother is now sleeping with another one of her family members 😂😂 Btw, welcome back, Jada! It's been a while. And with her seeing Alex looking all hot, I wonder if that's going to mean something in the future, especially since Alex and Xander may or may not end up being at odds over Stephanie. And poor Theo too. If they're going to have Abe keep bringing him up or talking to him on the phone, they really should bring him back to Salem. But yeah, idk about One Stormy Night being everybody's favorite book all of a sudden.

Thats why I always give the signal 😂😂😂😉 The improved writing is still continuing but there is also still some FF material

Count me in as someone who doesn't Ric to get killed off. That whole scene kinda seemed like a retread of what happened between Ava and Nikolas, so this'll have a similar outcome. As for Maxie, I understand why they needed to write her quickly, but I still why they couldn't have given her a HEA will Spinelli and the kids. It's not like Bradford Anderson is full time.

That thought crossed my mind, but I really hope the new writers don't go there. If they're not gonna write Kristen out, then she definitely needs a reset. She's been so tied to Brady for so long that it's almost like she doesn't have much of a character anymore. Her "relationship" with Brady has now gone on almost three times longer than her relationship with John. I hope so. I like them together, as a temporary couple anyway lol

I'm very glad that they didn't feel that way 😂 But now I really want to know who the shooter was supposed to be.

Season 61! I enjoyed the fallout from Kristen's confession. The good acting, and writing continued as well. Like I've said before, it just feels more in-depth and mature, with more drama injected into it as well. And Brady continued to be smart lol I actually didn't expect him to suspect that Kristen was hiding something so quickly and I actually don't mind it. It's another shift in the writing that we were told was going to happen, and that shift is always more than welcome. And I loved him ripping her a new one too, and telling her the things that needed to be told to her a long time ago. I suspect that the writers wanted us to have sympathy for Kristen, and I understand why, but I just don't. After everything she's done, she does kinda deserve this. And hopefully, this continues to mean that the Bristen ship has sailed. I also liked Brady and Marlena comforting Rachel, and I'm wondering what's going to happen once Brady finds out the truth, and that Marlena knew. Chad, suspecting that Kristen wasn't telling the truth and possibly investigating it could be interesting too. And yeah, I have no interest in Cat and Gwen becoming friends. Btw, all this anti-Dimitri writing isn't gonna make us like Gwen. Or Leo. Or Cat, just sayin' Javi did look hot at the end though 😍😂 And I'm glad that the jury was going to find Johnny not guilty anyway.

@Soapsuds I think I finally realized why I’ve always liked wrestling so much (besides the good fights and the hot guys😂) Because it’s like a soap 😂 With drama, comedy, storylines with a beginning, middle and end, and real soapy moments too. Like this one… when wrestling’s first supercouple reunited after being apart for so long 😊😊😊😂😂

😂😂😂😂 The Hell in a Cell match was really good 👍 And I’m almost up to the PPV that I went to when I was a kid 😂

Judgment Day 2002, the first PPV to be held under the WWE name. Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker for the WWE Championship Triple H vs. Chris Jericho in a Hell in a Cell match Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam for the Intercontinental Championship Kurt Angle vs. Edge in a Hair vs. Hair match

Agreed. It's clear that they're doing this for Rachel, but it would be nice to get a comment from one of them about how far they've come. But I do appreciate that they haven't made Marlena and Kristen bosom buddies all of a sudden.

He said it when he was on The Locher Room

And me, I'm the exact opposite; I enjoyed this week. And I'm really glad that we got a classic Friday cliffhanger too. But I still think they're moving too fast though

Probably the one that you'd pick too 😉😂😂 The one on the right.

Looking forward to the Brady/Kristen confrontation. And, Alex is in 3 episodes next week. Is this the most times he's appeared in a week since Ron left? 😂😂

I love storylines like that on soaps. It's character driven, and character driven storylines like that are so much better then plot driven nonsense like Body&Soul, which get wrapped up and forgotten about without any effect on anybody or anything. I'm hoping that the trial is the catalyst for the next storylines for all of these characters.

I guess anything's possible, but from what's been said about Lyle Hill, I don't know if he would have had that much respect for actors. Even Nicolas Coster referred to him as "the producer who shall not be named" 😂

I really hope they don’t give Ari a baby. Will/Sonny and Gabi do not need to be 30 year old grandparents 😂😂 And besides, look what it did to Julie, who, thanks to David’s SORAS-ing, became a grandmother at the ripe old age of 28 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ll take Louie 😍😂😂

Welcome back, Shawn! We've missed you... and those eyes 🥰😂😂 And at least they gave a reason why we haven't seen him in a while. I liked that he had a scene with Belle. Now, they just need to talk about her dumping EJ lol and him hanging out with Brady, Sarah and Rachel was a surprise that I didn't mind. While I enjoyed the court scenes and the aftermath of them, I feel like they rushed them a little bit. Maybe they should have waited until the end of the episode to have Kristen rush in and confess, in order to give us a good, though predictable, cliffhanger. Plus, it would've been better than the one that we got. I've been really impressed by Stacy Haiduk this week though, and today was no different. She especially stood out in Kristen's final scene with Marlena. The acting has been really good, and for the first time in a long time, Kristen is coming off as an actual mother. That's another change that I've been a real fan of since the new writers came in. But I still think the character is played out, and should be written out once all this stuff with Rachel is resolved. But I'm glad that Johnny is finally free. And that he still had no time for EJ. Hopefully, that'll be the next conflict for him and Chanel, after they've had some time to be happy lol And, it looks like we have a new interrogation room set too.

Brad, Brad, Brad

So, the guy with a criminal record is the jury foreman. OK 😂😂 And yeah, Adam is a character that should not exist. Other than that, I enjoyed today, even though I wasn't a fan of some of the choices that people made. They really should have waited until after (if) Sarah and Brady get together for her to realize what Sophia did with the baby. And I really hope that someday we get an explanation as to why Sophia wants to be with Tate, but chose to give up his baby. Her, not being ready to be a mother does not seem like a good enough reason at all, especially if she's so determined to not give up on him. Btw, who was that new employee at the Pub? 😍 There were a lot of good scenes today though, especially Brady/Tate and Marlena/Rachel (in the beginning anyway). They really are believable as father and son. And Brady seems more and more John-like every time he has scenes like this. Marlena, trying to calm down Rachel, and reminiscing about John was really sweet too. And while I had mixed feelings about Kristen and EJ scheming again so easily, especially after their scenes yesterday, I thought they both did a really good job acting wise.
