Lucas should’ve pushed Carly into the pool. What a horrible sister she is.

I still find Willow more tragic than villainous, almost like a Manson girl or someone who drank the Flavor Aid at Jonestown. Either way, however, KM’s performance is a highlight of the show for me, and I never thought I would say that as recently as a year ago.

I think Brook Kerr is one of the show’s best actors, period. And, yes, she often outmatches her scene partners. I was half expecting for her to toss Kai out of her office like Uncle Phil used to do to Jazz on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. And I’ll stick up for Portia’s misdeeds. The show is usually so tentative around its Black characters; it flattens them out with nobility. Portia, on the other hand, is as mercurial and messy as Carly, Alexis, or Nina.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
Based on those IKWYDLS reviews, it looks like Nicholas may have dodged a bullet (he was only in the opening scene anyway). Regardless, he’s starring opposite Pamela Anderson and Whitney Peak in a rarely produced Tennessee Williams play that’s opening at Williamstown this week, so onward and upward.

That’s a great point. I appreciate that they’re developing Marco and Lucas as a couple. I just fear that this will end with Sonny getting off scot free yet again and Marco leaving the show in a year.

Today’s episode was pretty dreadful. I hate that they’re using Emma as Town Jailbait for both Dalton and Vaughn as part of this convoluted WSB story. The editing was a mess—we see Marco and Alexis talking in his hotel room while he’s getting texts from Lucas (who, in other scenes, is working a shift at the hospital and sparring with Willow). Then, next thing we know, Lucas is in a suit outside of Marco’s hotel room because he hasn’t heard back from the latter and is heading to Natalia’s funeral (which hasn’t happened yet even though Lucy already left the church). Cut to Marco imprisoned by a bored-looking Jason. The scenes of Michael explaining to Sonny and Carly why Sasha has to leave town were just awful. Mo at his mumbliest, Rory struggling to sell the weak dialogue, and Laura overcompensating with her trademark broad gestures and facial expressions. The show was cooking for a while there but it’s hit a rough patch again for sure.

Who is telling him to shave his chest before shirtless scenes, though?

I’m not sure how Avery Kristen Pohl was eligible for the guest category since the final few weeks of her contract fell at the beginning of the eligibility period, but I’m thrilled for her and hope she wins.

I only check in on DAYS a few times per month but I’m happy for both Greg Rikaart and Paul Telfer. The former manages to be one of the rarest things on soaps, a consistently funny character, and the latter brought some real depth to his storyline in the aftermath of Victor’s death.

I swear 90% of the reason Carly even owns the Metro Court is so that she can throw people out of it.

This all needs to end with Sasha, Willow, and Kristina sharing a cell in Ferncliff and screaming “My baby!” over and over again.

Yes! And Trina didn’t even go back to Wyndemere after the graveside ceremony. I honestly thought I was going insane. But that really set the tone for the next year and a half.

The stat in that tweet, @Liberty City, is a pretty clear of example of what we’ve discussed here a lot about the show basically resegregating its Black characters. Kai and Trina are cordoned off together, as are Jordan, Portia, Isaiah, and Curtis, and their only link to the white characters atm is conflict over Drew.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but some nice square-cut swim trunks instead of this knee-length situation would make Gio look taller.

I’m loving Van Hansis. It’s nice to have a gay male character who is neither a goofy sidekick nor super-masc. I hope they put him on contract and continue developing this star-crossed romance with Marco.

Speaking of going bi, it would make a lot of sense for Joss to have a female love interest, since they haven’t been able to make a heterosexual romance click with her. With 2 women on contract for every 1 man in this cast, they really need more lesbians. Come to think of it, Joss and Kristina aren’t technically related…
