Victoria Rowell can stay gone. Period.

@carolineg Another day, another count. 🤣

date: Thursday, October 16, 2025 | Sara A. Bibel, Lynn Martin | Phideaux Xavier The con artist child bride is wasting no time allowing her wicked ways and sinister ideas to come to light. Jacob is trying a bit too hard to persuade Naomi to keep the baby. Thai food? Not my thing, but it does sound delicious, especially if it is spicy. Sometimes spice can be delicious if done right. Oh Lord. Dani and Pamela need to watch more horror films and their parodies... you do not let Dani go up first! Ha. And not the "You've been robbed" line from Chelsea. Naomi continues to say the same thing, and it falls on the deafest of ears. Jacob needs to accept what he did when he married Naomi, unless he never did accept it? The con artist child bride is slapping it on a bit too thick; she needs to lessen the 'sweetness' a bit. Oh Chelsea, sweetie, you will be okay without all of those fashion items. I promise you will. It is not the end of the world. Pamela, dahling, what is it you have on your mind regarding Andre? Oh modeling. I see it. The con artist child bride is not being subtle at all, and it is glaring at this point. Wrapping up the 'special' cupcake in its own wrapping. Sweetie, for a con, you suck at it. Why do I feel like the family curse is code for he was never told about the babies, or it was not someone June expected to raise children with? Oops... thank goodness Naomi spat the 'special' cupcake out; otherwise, the con artist child bride would be on the hook for two murders! Smart of Naomi to go to Ashley about this. Okay, so that re-proposal was romantic, especially with Tyrell! Notes: There is no way they had Samantha playing with someone's leftover French fries and ketchup. Whew. It was a choice. I like the use of flashback inserts to tell stories without having to do it with "remember back when?" text. It is smart. I still love seeing June as a fixture at Orphey Gene's. Reminds me of wait staff I have known at restaurants that I always circle back to.

Pretty sure it was because Eric Braeden agreed to return to Victor, and Russ' Tucker was too close to that Victor-type role.

Well, when the original concept was essentially scrapped, there was zero reason for the role to be introduced. If anything, Nick Stabile should have stayed as Nikolas, as I fully believe Valentin was brought on to replace Nik as the Cassadine representation.

I only asked because there was talk of him being cast as Valentin in 2013.

What about Vincent Irrizary?

I wholeheartedly disagree. Morrow has proven himself many times as an actor with the "heavy lifting".

Two, I believe? She was not on Monday or Tuesday, so you got a nice four-day break; makes up for the one day last week she was not on, lmao.

Congratulations to him! A decent Superman, too.

@carolineg Mumbles nor the A.D.A. are on today, but your other issue is. 😘

I found zero issues with Joshua Morrow today; if anything, Sharon Case was distracting and overdoing it with her acting. She is who I found a complete issue with. Also does not help her face was blown up while crying. Whew.

date: Wednesday, October 15, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico Dani's continued badgering and name-calling of Ashley reeks of jealousy. Just own up to the fact that Ashley is the one that Andre is meant to be with, give Andre a divorce and/or annulment, and call it a day. Judging from how Bill and Caroline are reminiscing, Dani was an attentive, supportive wife. The child bride is nothing like that. So the child bride is full-out playing Bill? I kind of called it from the beginning, and it is nice [finally] seeing those layers being peeled back after playing the doting wife for so long. If I were Nicole, I would slap the shït out of Katherine's bitch-ass face for speaking out of the side of her mouth in the way she did. Gross behaviour. I would be embarrassed to be her parent. Not Dana showing up in her dated, ass waitress outfit. That is desperate. She needs to read the damn room: Ted(dy) does not want you or your crazy ass! Mrs Shamilton? Dani has nicknames for days, I see. So, the child bride runs cons on wealthy individuals, with Randy's assistance? So, is her name even Hayley? The child bride/con artist wants her payday, and she wants it now... see, Bill, this is why you should have kept it in your pants! Not running a con for years, so this flat-out confirms, to me, that the child bride/con artist was never pregnant in the first place. OH SNAP! So, the nurse at the hospital was in on it? Damn... this con has been running deep since before day one. Nicole, sweetie, you easily could have taken your hypocritical, annoying bitch of a daughter to your office to have this conversation. Not in the seated area by the nurse's station! OH! She wants Bill Hamilton to die?! Not the life insurance policy deal. This is giving me Snapped vibes, and I am here for it. Not Caroline listing everyone who Bill has fired for telling it to him straight; whew, Bill does not play like that. Dana is playing her same old tricks: not accepting when someone says "no". That is not cute, sweetie pie. Not Randy setting the plan in motion to end Bill's life... just as Bill is opting to remain in his marriage to his con artist cousin. Notes: Ugh. Second day in a row with a breakdown by the writer. Scenes are so choppy when they do breakdowns, but Brown, much like Cheryl L. Davis, did his very best to turn it into gold. He is definitely one of their strongest scriptwriters, and I am so glad he (along with Davis) is sticking around for the next 200+ episodes! Welcome aboard, Tracey Thomson! Lovely to have you here with us! Love the use of flashbacks in Hayley/Randy explaining their con, as well as the newly shot scenes filling in some blanks. That is brilliant, brilliant work, and how you use flashbacks to piece together your story. Today's episode is clearly for the naysayers/negative annoyers who think they do not plan their storylines ahead of time because the reveal came together perfectly, and the payoff was worth it. Classic soap telling.

I mean, Katherine Kelly Lang's bra/bodysuit was visible, and it should not be. Not to mention, the way in which they keep dressing Rebecca Budig is laughable, at best.

As of October 15, 2025: Tracey Thomson is credited as executive producer and co-head writer.

Their costume design head needs to be replaced. I would love to see Glenda Maddox return, who was the costumer from 2015 to 2021.

Cohen is recurring, per the October 15 end credits.

Braun is recurring, per the October 15 end credits.
