Abby often seems to be left out by the Newmans, maybe because her being around would make Victor ranting about how much he hates the Abbott's really awkward. But at least Nick, Victor, Vicki, and Adam are sticking around to be there to support her, while Claire decided it was a good time to head off to California with a guy who works for the man who is trying to take over her family business. She doesn't seem to have spared even a single moment of thought for Abby, or her friends Mariah and Tessa.

This key story is ridiculous, unless there's a twist coming. Are people just going to accept that Michael is holding onto a key to Drew’s house this long after using it to gain entry and shoot him, while he knows full well that he is a prime suspect in the incident? And Michael should be able to realize that Willow had the opportunity to plant the key on him, which should lead to it coming out quickly that Tracy had a key made, which she gave to Martin who gave it to Willow. And their fingerprints should be on the key, not Michael’s. It’s also interesting that they have been focusing on Suzzanne supporting Alexis in regards to Willow, and Willow did this in the law firm’s lobby where Suzanne was conveniantly not there. Could Suzanne have actually witnessed Willow’s act?

Anna was being kept in Windemere, but they had Pascal talking French to her, suggesting they wanted her to think she was in France all along.

I am starting to have some sympathy for her, what with the Newman's seeing her and Cane using the AI that Victor was already using against Cane and Jabot as being beyond the pale and unforgiveable. And Summer quickly forgave Victor for having Jack replaced by his double on his honeymoon with Phyillis, but she can't even talk to her mother now? Though it's not so much that Phyllis is looking good now as the others are looking worse.

Is Chris Mckenna really a "friend of Frank's" because he was on OLTL for a few years more than 30 years ago? Or is there another connection between them? As for Hearst, I'd love to see more of him, but he lives on the other side of the country, and has a job in real estate there, so I tend to think him disapearing has as much to do with his schedule as it does with the show.

Funny, on other boards a lot of people are thinking this story shoiws that Brennan is sticking around for the long haul, and that he will redeem himself with Carly. There are claims elsewhere that Vaughn is gone for good, and even rumours that Joss is on her way out. People are pointing out that Joss doesn't really get mentioned in the 2026 preview, besides how Carly is angry with Brennan about recruiting her. You always have to be a bit cautious about rumors in regards to behind the scenes stuff. For a while it "was known" that Reese Witherspoon never returned as Rachel's sister on Friends because she and Jennifer Aniston absolutely hated each other and refused to work together. Then they ended up working on a new show with each other. But MB and SB, while seeming to be generally well-liked by castmates, do seem very prepared and happy to throw their weight around. And now Marco seems to have been completely ruined so as to retroactively justify Sonny and Jason kidnapping him.

I think he said in a recent interview that he wouldn't retire until he is at least 65...

Well, I'm pretty sure British soap Emmerdale has had core characters working at a vet clinic for some time, so I guess it's not impossible to use it to build good stories. Though Emmerdale being a more rural show might help in that regard. That said, I guess the most likely traumatic event for the Scorpio family is more likely to be Robert's passing or a big reveal about Nathan than Emma being injured or something happening to Robin and/or Patrick.

Emma saying she wanted to be a vet really stood out to me. It makes sense for her character, but it would also seem to be pretty isolating for her on the canvas. In the meantime, the show is hinting at her playing an important role in the Anna kidnapping story, with her instigating questions about Anna possibly being in trouble, and being specifically mentioned by “Faison” in his conversation with Anna. And spoilers confirm that she will be involved trying to rescue her grandmother along with Mac and Felicia, but that the family will suffer a traumatic event. So I find myself asking, what traumatic event might lead Emma to turn away from being vet towards something that would keep her more integrated on the canvas, and I came up with two options. First would be her suffering some serious injury that makes it impossible for her to be a vet, like with BLQ and her singing career. As for the other option, Emma’s life could certainly be shifted if something tragic happened to her parents. And with KMC not acting anymore and JT locke in on Y&R… well, who knows what the show might be willing to do with them?

RE - Alexis It seems a bit strange that she is so affected by helping Willow get away with attempted murder after she covered up Kristina's crimes, including holding Ric captive in her basement, and lying to Molly about everything, and pretty much shrugged it off. About today's episode The ep was basically about Drew getting taken to the hospital, Michael fighting with Chase and then confiding in Jason, and Portia having a hearing with Tracy and Laura.

Maybe the devastating news is that Drew didn't die?

I think OLTL also had Max get plastic surgery when he was recast, then the original actor came back with no explanation. I guess if fans can accept characters suddenly changing appearances with recasts, it's not that big a leap to shrug off actors returning after chracters supposedly had plastic surgery.

Are we sure that RH is avaiable to film right now? I think he lives in New Jersey, and even has anpther job in real estate?

There was a problem with the heating in the building.

I like Emma and Gio, but the idea of Joss/Emma together is certainly interesting, especially if Robin were to return to the canvas. I kind of thought Emma was at least suspicious that Joss was WSB after Vaughn outed himself, and she thought Joss might have slipped her the info about Dalton's second lab, so I'm kind of surprised she went to Brennan for help. You'd think Anna would have told Emma to stay away from him. Is Vaughn even still on the show? Will Kristina's actions ever be exposed? Will Willow's gaslighting of Sasha ever come out? Man, this show is frustrating.
