I think the initial reveal for Aaron's story was wonderful -- it all quickly fell apart once they had Robert question what Aaron said, even if he later regretted it. Chas is being HIGHLY annoying. Like, she almost pisses me off as much as Cain, and that's saying something. When Cain is capable of showing more compassion and kindness that Aaron's own mother, that's the point when I'm done. I do hope this is not how the rest of the story is going to go, because then it has all been a waste. This should be SO much more than what it is. The Laurel story is moving ridiculously fast -- it's only been two episodes but it feels like they've gone through three weeks worth of material. That's probably a consequence of the fact that, other than Aaron's story, the show doesn't seem to have any other major, dramatic story to provide cliffhangers and drama. In any case, the scenes you mentioned Carl with Laurel and Nicola and Doug and Ashley were superb, even if the whole thing just sort of bores me. That being said, I like that Laurel stood her ground and that it seems she may go through with it.

It's finally Thirsty Thursday, January 28, 2016 and what better way to say hello than with this abs-olutely stunning man?

That would definitely make it a little bit better!

Thanks, Carl. I have a faint recollection of the story but it's a good thing I missed that ridiculous fight.

Audrey avoiding Ken and Gail using going to watch Mad Max as an excuse was nothing short of hilarious. The bit with Sean and David impatiently waiting at the cafe while Cathy and Anna fretted about personal stuff was funny too. Not too familiar with Pat but it's exciting that he's back, even if I feel it's too soon. I was enjoying a bit of fun and happiness for Anna and Kevin.

Am I wrong to find Robert so hot? Jesus Christ. And I'm very intrigued by his story because, considering his threats to Carla and Carla telling Michelle that he has a mean streak, the clues are pointing strongly to him developing into something more sinister down the line, if not full on psychotic (although I'm not sure I want that, because it would mean he'd eventually be gone). The stuff with Sally and Faye going over to Anna's to get the DVD so Sally can spy on Anna's new man was hilarious. Anna: "Have you been on the sherry?" Faye: "Can I have some sherry?" Anna and Kevin have great chemistry. I can't wait to see Sally's head explode.

It's Wednesday, January 27, 2016! Welcome to Humpday!

January 26, 2016 I wasn't expecting Laurel to be pregnant and I'm not too crazy about the "I have to have an abortion!" scenario, because it almost always ends with the woman changing her mind and keeping the baby or her losing it as punishment. I hope they didn't bother with this unless they plan to have Laurel go through with it or at least write her change of mind really well to justify it. That's a great way of putting it. The show certainly doesn't lack for male hotness....

It's Tuesday, January 26, 2016, and it's super cold, so here's some hotness to warm you up!

I was horrified with the sudden turn the episode took regarding Aaron's abuse -- now they are genuinely trying to create doubt about Aaron's story. At the beginning, when Robert was confused, I thought (and hoped) that I had just misinterpreted, but the way the acting and writing around Gordon comes off, it's telling me they're genuinely trying to make it into a "did he or didn't he?". I suppose it could work out if they drop it quickly, have Robert support Aaron unconditionally, and it all culminates into the reveal that this is all part of Gordon's manipulation (if he's not guilty, why is he suddenly running), but Aaron doubting himself rubbed me the wrong way. Everything with Nikhil/Leyla and Jacob was so much fun. Nikhil and Leyla's chemistry is FIRE. I want Cain to die. I hope the wine business doesn't come back to bite Carly and Tracy in the arse...

I really love Roy and Carla's friendship. I was brought to tears when Carla told Roy he was "one in a million" and refused to let his break-up with Cathy stick, at which point Roy said, "I knew you were going to do this!"

It's a brand new week! Monday, January 25, 2016... make the best of it!

DAMN at those 'modeling' pics. Traaaaa--jeeeeeeek!

Good morning, darlings! It's Sunday, January 24, 2016! Have some coffee and warm up!

OMG! No!!! I hope they don't betray Nikhil b/c I actually love Nikhil and David's friendship, but knowing these writers, they'll go for the most dramatic route. I can see them sharing a kiss, quickly regretting, and either Leyla or David confessing to it -- hopefully not a full-blown affair. Nikhil would be angry but he'd let it go afterwards.

I certainly get this But it's so fascinating that she just doesn't care for his hotness lmao Both of these would work greatly!

My head nearly exploded at Nikhil and Kirin's scene together. That's too much hotness in one scene to handle. I REALLY love Kirin's story. It's all about feelings, thoughts, fears, determination, all kinds of wonderful, conflicting emotions, and it's beautiful. Leyla and Nikhil were a lot of fun too. I don't get the feeling Leyla genuinely likes him; I think she's very impressed by his efforts and is telling herself she should like him... we'll see. Tracy, Carly and Finn were SO much fun, and it was nice seeing that nasty Duncan get fcked over. I hope he doesn't make them pay for this, though. Robert and Aaron. Well, what can I say. Beautiful.

Here's some hot hotness on Saturday, January 23, 2016 to warm you up if you're caught in the winter storm like I am!

I agree that it wasn't far-fetched, I just don't think it was properly developed. Perhaps it was a consequence of the short episode order, but it's one of the things that felt like a little too much a little too fast.

"What's up?" does not sound much like a Victor/Braeden line. Instead, it's something Michael used often, so it fits that this story was about LeBlanc. However, when she said that the "crazies" were other men on the show and not the ones she worked with, she might have been covering or she really might have been honest that it was some other castmembers that she knew/saw, even if she didn't work with them (and we can all probably imagine who). Anywho, it's all so much fun!

And I had no idea Gabriela Spanic was slowly being poisoned by her assistant! Once again, life imitates soap opera lol Well, the "what's up?" should have been a dead giveaway....

Yeah I was thinking just what she said -- that she only really worked with Doug Davidson and Christan Le Blanc, and I somehow don't see them being such assholes. But I'm glad she clarified that, and am not surprised at all. Especially once David Shaughnessy took over, I can see the issues becoming worse.

Welcome to Friday, January 22, 2016! Only some hot hotness can usher in the weekend properly!

OMG lol The Clown would have made me sh1t my pants. Still wants to swim in balloons, though!

Oh, wow, that was indeed so cute! I had a huge smile on the whole time. Now I want to swim in balloons. lol
