Meanwhile, poor Clifton Davis looks as if he's sundowning.

I didn't notice how bad that picture is until you mentioned it.

Hope is so flaky and indecisive. As much as Katie has a her own reason for wanting Hope at Logan, she was right about how Forrester is going to marginalize Hope again.

Nicole was doing the most today and it was annoying. All that yelling the hospital was unbecoming for a doctor.

Anita helped Kat a lot, but Kat's motivation for being the donor was mostly about not wanting to be viewed negatively by others.

Bill is incredibly scummy and deserves what Hayley is doing to him. He had no reason to try and tell Andre what happened other than to be mean.

I concur that Hayley pretending to be upset about Derek was funny. It harkened back to those evil characters who loved playing modest and decent at times to cover up their misdeeds.

Monthly works the best for the volume of posts that come. It's been a long time since daily or weekly threads are sustainable. If monthly threads runs too many pages long then a second monthly thread could be an option.

Dani decides to wise up about Bill only when it's too late. That was the most compelling Bill/Dani scene so far.

I see nothing wrong with her. Being a living donor isn't something to take lightly as its still major surgery and there is the risk for longterm complications to the donor. Why would she compromise her own health for someone that she hates and hates her as well? She doesnt want to be put in the position to even have to answer that question and I dont think she's wrong in wanting no parts of this. I dont think its fair for people to label her as selfish for taking that stance

Her concern for her health is not selfishness which is why I framed the other things as the element of selfishness in the plot.

Kat did bring up everything that Eva has done, so it's not like her only issue is having major surgery. She also was ready to put Andre up to being tested and to object to Martin being tested so there is an element of selfishness in this plot.

That's an example of holding Kat accountable? For what? Being traumatized after seeing someone nearly die before help came? He didn't give her five seconds before calling her selfish. Kat hasn't made this all about herself (unlike Leslie) and she's not willing to blindly jump into a situation uninformed (or play martyr, for that matter). If he had seen her moment with Leslie, he would've shut his mouth.

No one is obligated to undergo testing, even for family.

She piped up when Martin wanted to get tested seemingly not wanting him to do it so it seems clear that Kat doesn't want a Dupree helping Eva. She is under no obligation to get tested, but let's not forget that she berated Eva in the stairwell until she saw she was bleeding and that was horrible. Granted, Martin doesn't know that, but he does know that she wished Eva dead.

Martin was there when Kat told Eva she wished she was never born so he's seen some of the worst of her anger. He holds Kat accountable unlike the rest of the family.

Martin evicerated Kat exactly as she needed to be.

Vanessa might end up using Dani's secret against her at some point to try and extract favors for her Crusty Rubber Duck.

Whoever made the 25th Anniversary banner needs to start the Robert Scott Wilson fan club, because only a fan would slip him in a banner full of soap vets and core characters, lol.

She didn't just call Nicole Nikki, but Nasty Nikki.

She once called Bill a Big Bad Billy Goat.

"Crusty rubber duck" would have been something else starting with d on cable or streaming. I appreciate the veiled insult.

Leslie was for the first time serious and not over the top. Even her snapping at Kat was more nuanced.

Chelsea said that her and Tomas were searching for Kat, but Tomas was sedentary during the chaos.

Sarah Joy Brown and Gina T are too hard and harsh so it would the characters even more dense then they already are if they didn't at least suspect either of them as the Impaler.. or being in the life of crime. With Ms. Jones.. no one would even think to suspect her and thus is the genius of her casting.

This is very accurate. Either of them would have been a one two punch out of the gate. A Heather played by them would have given "leave me the hell alone" energy moreso than "I'm happy to see you, brother" even with the softer dialogue.

Dani's extreme guilt makes it seem like more than kissing happened.

I don't think Dani age has been established but if we go by Karla Mosley real age (45 in August), it's possible Dani could have a who's the daddy storyline.

At the start of the show it was established that Dani married Bill at 19 and that they were married for 30 years so that would put that character at 50-51 years old. Not a common thing, but still belivable enough to be written in.

Tomas' level of unbothered was off the charts. It might have been because the writers knew that Alegria wasn't up to playing anything more than that.

Joey saving Abby was a major eye roll. He only did it to try and extract a favor from Jack. What was even more annoying was Vanessa exclaiming "you could have been killed!". Those two were easily the weak link of all the chaos.

The stairwell lie Dani told Bill is going to fall apart easily because that's where Kat and Eva were actually trapped. And of course Hayley already remarked about Bill not being covered in dust. Honestly I am so disgusted with Dani. After all Andre has done for her she has the nerve to treat him like this.

It's not that I was really surprised, but Colby really delivered big time with her scenes.

Sweeps matters less now that so much viewing is done on streaming or on demand.

Naomi lamenting that Jacob would be worried about her was such a self-centered line. That character has really been annoying lately.

Speaking of self-centered, Kat was so horrible until she saw Eva bleeding.

Izaiah was scouring the grounds looking for Eva, but where was Tomas looking for Kat?

After all Bill has done to her it makes no sense why Dani wants anything to do with him.

"Somebody's under the tree!" was so 80s-90s soap when the melodrama was high.

Those Y&R characters are getting better action than they get on their own show.

The Anastasia actress still screams budget Jasmine Guy to me! Get the real one, BTG, she’s ATL based!

Jasmine is definitely too expensive for the show's budget.

Vanessa is a total B-word. She is not a friend to Nicole and Nicole should drop her.

Kat could have better handled getting Eva away from that reporter, but of course she had to talk down to Eva again.

For the most part they paired up the characters for the crossover well. Tomas practically begging Jack for business was embarrassing, but that was clearly the intent of the scene.

Hayley didn't need to take off her rings to talk to Kyle because I don't think Kyle would have really cared if she is married or not.

Leslie being irritated by Diane's truth about seeking forgiveness was quite a highlight for me. She was so out of line bringing up Diane's past misdeeds. But Leslie did do a good deed by talking down to Anastacia.

I am looking forward to tomorrow and hope that it is excellent.

Actors love saying that anything remotely exciting they work on is the "biggest thing" they've ever done.

Someone made great point about Mona. If she's such a good Christian, why can't she forgive Leslie. 🤔

I will respectfully say I don't see it.

Jibre is no Irving Lee. 😁

I don't mean acting wise, I mean the way the character has become obsessed a case and at the brink of anger that no one can bring him back from. That's why I said the character as opposed to the actor or acting style.

Jacob is giving EON's Calvin Stoner when he went off the rails on a case. If you've watched EON you know what I'm talking about.

There are times when Leslie is being genuine and this was one of them. She actually does care about Mona.
