Maybe this recast will end up doing well. We've had had some good recasts lately. I think that both Cam Mathison and Krista Allen have been doing a nice job in their roles as new Drew and Taylor. Even if their storylines aren't the best right now. Cam's Drew has chemistry with a lot of people and Krista bears a good likeliness to Hunter Tylo's Taylor and is fitting well in the role. Maybe this new young actress will be fit in well as Trina and have chemistry with people especially Nick. I agree that Sydney and Nick had great chemistry. I hope he has good chemistry with this new actress, though things won't be the same. He is one IMO, that tends to have chemistry with a lot of people so maybe he will have chemistry with this new actress. I will miss Sydney. I enjoyed her in the role and loved her and Nick's version of Spencer together. I wish her the best.

I enjoyed today's Valentine Day show overall. I thought it was romantic and nice that Spencer purchased a Valentine's Day gift for Trina, the art book that Laura gave her. Trina seemed pleased and touched by Spencer's gift. I also think it's interesting that Kevin has restricted Esme's access to Ryan. I wonder if we will finally get more movement on her storyline/connection with Ryan especially now that Spencer has learned she's interested in him. Maybe he will take note of her trying to get to/interact with Ryan. It looks like Esme is also about to release that video of Cam/Joss publicly. I wonder how she will release it and how she may try and cover her tracks. She should be the main suspect after it's released. And I am enjoying Avery's Pohl's portrayal of Esme, her facial expressions are amusing and she's doing a nice job with this character. I find there is something classic about her and her portrayal as a villain. I also wonder what will end up happening with Carly possibly divorcing Sonny. On today's show she interacted with Felix but ended up spending more time with Britt and commiserating with her after her and Felix showed up to the Savoy where Britt was. It was nice seeing Molly and TJ again.

Rebbie is featured in the documentary and is shown talking quite a bit. She continues to age well and is happy. I have always like her and she's always come across as very grounded. Also, they showed some pictures of a couple of Janet's nieces when they were talking about the secret daughter rumors. Her nieces are pretty, especially Stevanna (Randy's daughter). Stevanna does look like Janet IMHO.

Maybe her and LaToya got closer/closer again later on. She did mention that LaToya encouraged her to marry James, because that's what she wanted to do. And she said that one of his brothers was interested in LaToya and that's factored into how she met James. But maybe there was a time where they weren't as close or at least didn't speak as much. She also mentioned how her and Michael even drifted apart for a moment when his career was really ascending. It does seem like she's really quiet and a bit more secretive and at least some of her family didn't know much about more personal aspects of her life including her marriages. I think that Rebbie said something like she looked up one moment and Janet was married lol. And I think it was Rebbie who said she didn't really meet James until after Janet married him. Janet was keeping those marriages on the hush hush lol, even from family.

I thought it was cute and sweet how she was playing/slapping hands with Randy in the footage from the studio. I like how close him and her are. We are often hear about how close she was with Michael, but it looks like she's pretty close with all her siblings including Randy. And that makes sense given that he's closer in age to her than the others. Though, it seems like she's close with her siblings in general including her big sisters. I do think that she looks out for Randy and I remember telling him to be quiet in a playful manner in a video I don't think too long ago and calling him her "big headed" brother very recently when she wished him a happy birthday on Twitter lol. It's good to see they still have a nice bond. I like seeing her absorb information from him as he tells her about their families upbring in Gary. She was so young when they were there, she really doesn't remember it. And probably really only remembers when they were well off financially. It was interesting seeing her listen to him as he gave her insight into the upbringing that her and the other siblings remember.

You're welcome. 🙂 I have never really seen her talk much about him before either, even when the secret baby rumors kept being talked about. And people were saying stuff like they found her grown daughter. She really did seem like she loved James and that his drug issues were too much for her. I am interested in seeing her talk about what was really behind the dissolution of her marriage with Rene. I remember people being surprised about that marriage too, as she was quiet about that, and it seemed like a lot of people really didn't find out about that, until around the time that their divorce was filed. Rene seemed supportive in the footage they are showing so far and he was her longest marriage, and I wonder what ultimately drove them apart.

It's very interesting. I think you will enjoy it. 🙂 I like how it's documenting her early beginnings careers, and relationships. I think this might be the most she's ever talked publicly about all of these things especially the personal aspects of her life like her romances. Now she's talking a bit about her relationship with Rene and they are showing footage that he shot of them that has never been seen before. It's really interesting.

Janet got a bit more candid in this doc regarding James DeBarge. She genuinely seems upset when she talks about his drug use, including fighting him over pills he was using. And how he would go missing hours at a time, including four hours after they met and would two and half hours late when he was picking her up from work. She also mentioned being out late at night looking for him and seemed upset that people thought she had a secret child and kept it from him. It seems like she really cared about him. Also, I did think it was kind of amusing how they showed footage of him saying that they were both shy when they met and that didn't help the progression of their relationship. The way he said that was kind of amusing to me.

I am watching the Janet Jackson Documentary right now. It's really good. I am enjoying seeing her talk about her life and her family and their beginnings. I love how Randy is telling her more about how life was back then for them especially in Gary Indiana. She really doesn't remember much because she was the baby in the family and it's interesting seeing her absorb the information like how multiple brothers all slept in the same bed and just how little their childhood home was. She mentioned not really have been back to Gary since she was like eight. Her and Randy seem really close and I am enjoying the way they are interacting with each other. Good stuff.

I enjoyed today's show. I thought it was pretty good overall. I think that Spencer/Trina continue to have nice chemistry. They were flirting and are getting closer again. They looked like they wanted to kiss before Cam showed up and told Spencer to go back to work. Esme is still stirring the pot, by telling Cam that Trina wants him. It seems like Cam may be actually buying that though it should be obvious to him that Sprina are still into each other. Esme can definitely see that. I wonder what Esme is going to do with the pills and the phone. Also, I liked Britt/Austin's scenes. I think they seem comfortable around each other. And I thought Sonny/Drew/Curtis/Marshall/Nina was interesting as well. Marshall looked like he wanted to knock out Sonny when Sonny was trying to order Curtis around. Sonny also said hurtful, insulting things to Drew. I could see that being a set up for more conflict, should Drew continue to get closer to Carly. I also still wonder if Marshall may have been in the mob. And I liked Harmony/Alexis as well.

I wonder if #2 is Sydney. It may be. She really hasn't been shown much at all lately and her and Spencer's story is moving at a snail's pace. I do think prior to her going on recurring the show was interested in really writing for Sprina, as there was a time when her and Spencer were featured/heavily together and on almost every single day. The show knows this is a popular potential pairing, but maybe they are just finding things a bit too difficult if due to scheduling conflicts. I hope it's not her, but it could be.

I hope you end up being okay and that it's not COVID. Hopefully, it's not something too serious. I hope you end up getting access to masks and that will help keep you safe. Things are still rough regarding several co-workers in my workplace with all of the people that we've had that are out with COVID/possible COVID and one who just came back from having COVID. It turns out one of the ladies that just returned did have COVID. The other lady who went home yesterday not feeling well showed up today. She said she's feeling better but I think she sneezed a couple of times today and there is always concern especially given what has been happening lately. I order some KN95's off of Amazon, but I think it may take a while for me to get them. I think that a lot of people are ordering them right now and they are in short supply. Today at work I started double masking with a cloth mask then a surgical mask. I read that can be more effective than just one cloth or surgical mask. I do have some more surgical masks/cloth masks. I will be doing that for the time being until I can get my KN95 masks. That's something someone can do if they have those types of masks and are dealing with a lot of high exposure at work, or elsewhere.

We just had another person go home early today because she didn't feel well. She might be concerned she has it. She just came back from being on vacation for a couple of weeks and visiting another state. Here are the details regarding the people from my workplace who either have or think they might have COVID. So far, there have been 7 possibly 8 people that may have either gotten Covid or have symptoms. And we recently had another person who was sick that just came back, I'm not sure if they had Covid or not, maybe they were just sick. But of the people that either have COVID/symptoms/fear they are sick: At least three of them are vaccinated. I'm not sure about the other four or five. At least three of them are high risk. Two of them were out for a year on leave, due to being high risk when the virus first started. I believe that all of the high-risk people are vaccinated. And at least two of them are/were antivax. One of the ladies who I think may have either come down with Covid in the past couple of days/thinks she has it is very anti vax. She recently told someone she didn't see the point in getting the shot and no one in her household was vaccinated but her husband. She mentioned that she may get it at one point and was acting like it wasn't that big of a deal. Though, when more people started getting it recently she did seem a bit more concerned when a lot of people from our workplace started getting it. The second lady that was antivax may have changed her mind and gotten a vaccine, I'm not sure, though I think she may have turned in paperwork showing proof of that when were filling out paperwork for that as federal government employees. I think that at least five or six of them may have had gatherings recently/went on vacation. The one lady today who went home early today just recently spent a couple of weeks vacationing in another state. I think another had a large gathering recently, and I think that the lady who just came back from being sick (unsure if that was COVID) had went on a vacation just before she became ill. I don't know if any of these people have received their booster, and that may be an important factor in things. We are having a worse outbreak now than we did before a vaccine became available when COVID first started. I think this shows just how contagious the omicron variant really is. My take on all of this, what's going on with my co-workers and working in a very high exposure environment since COVID began is to take things seriously and be very careful. People need to try and not let their guard down when it comes to this virus though that can be hard, especially for those of us who have high exposure jobs or have spouses/people in our households who have high exposure jobs or maybe kids who are in school. I definitely think that being vaccinated/boosted helps, but even with that people still have to be careful.

Yeah and I think we may have at least one more person now that may had to get tested. We've been having several people call out lately. On top of that we have people that like to call out because they just don't want to work (we have people that call out a lot at my job in general), stretching us thin even more. I hope you are able to stay safe.

I am very disappointed that the Supreme Court struck down Biden's vax or test mandate. That is dangerous especially with the way that Covid is spreading right now. At my governmental job I think we've had at least a couple of people (maybe quite a few come down) with Covid recently. I'm not sure how many exactly I do know we've had at least six people who have been calling out lately multiple/several days in a row, with sick leave being designated for some of them on the schedule. I think that some got it because a couple of people at work including some that would be more in the know mention us having a Covid problem. Almost everyone if not everyone that has been out, (maybe everyone but I'm unsure of one person) have been fully vaccinated. I'm not sure if any of them have received their booster shots. And at least three of them are high risk people. And all of them wore masks like 98% of the time. (with exceptions being when they are on break or taking it off right before they leave work). Our workplace is very high exposure because we deal with/ assist a lot of military personnel including people from other countries at time. (In the past few months we've dealt with people from the royal navy and other countries). So it's was already pretty risky as is. I do wonder if maybe possible recent vacations/holiday gatherings may have played a role as well. I do think some people may have had time off recently/had some gatherings recently and I wonder if that may be a factor. People have to try and hang in there (especially with the mandate being struck down) and get your booster as soon as possible: US supreme court blocks Biden’s workplace vaccine-or-test rules (msn.com)

I enjoyed today's show. I liked the Portia/Trina scenes where Portia was giving Trina good advice about Ava, and her feelings on the cabin. I also continue to like CS as Victor. I thought it was funny when he called Spencer "Spencer Nikolossovich". He was using the multiple names like an older relative does to get a younger person in line, lol. I wonder if Spencer may actually start to listen to him at least a little and that may help his relationship with Nikolas. Though Laura still doesn't like Victor and is weary of his influence on Spencer/Nikolas. I thought that the Sonny/Laura and especially the Carly/Nina scenes were good today. I liked seeing Laura give Sonny advice and him being honest with her. Those scenes were nice. And I thought that Carly/Nina scenes were good. Nina is doing a very good job of going toe to toe with Carly. She is not scared of Carly and is holding her own against her. And she's not being screechy, she's more even-keeled on how she's handling things. She handled Carly well. Though, I did expect Carly to slap her at some point with the stuff she was saying and she ended up doing so lol. And I wonder who put Liz's wedding ring in her locker.

I enjoyed today's show. The best part of it for me was actually Cam/Esme. Avery Pohl is doing a good job as Esme, I like the scenes where she was talking to Cam about the sadness in her family and the drama that they had. It was interesting. Even Joss was being more sympathetic towards her today. I do wonder who she will end up drugging/who will get drugged at the cabin. I also liked seeing Spencer/Trina interact again today. I think they will definitely get closer again once he starts working at the gallery. NC looks like he's been working out more. And I even liked Sonny/Carly's scenes today. I do feel like Sonny answered Carly as honestly as he could about his feelings for Nina. He has them, but I also think he wants to keep his family intact with Carly and wishes he didn't have to deal with his feelings for Nina.

I enjoyed today's show. The Sprina scenes were nice. Trina was happy to be around Spencer today and seemed comfortable with him. I like the chemistry between them and the touching, her touching his back, them holding hands and him caressing it. It was nice and romantic. I also continue to enjoy Spencer's scenes with Victor. They have nice chemistry together and look like they could be related. Esme's facial expression when she was Spencer/Trina holding hands, and when Trina told her she was going on the trip were also amusing. AP did a nice job with the facial expression in those scenes. I am interested in seeing what happens with this cabin trip. Maybe something soapy will happen and Spencer/Trina will kiss and that will create more angst/drama for them and the teen group. I also enjoyed Lucy/Martin today. Lucy looks good and her Martin were fun together. And I liked seeing Shawn. I was glad to see his name was clear, I wish the show would show more of him, do more with him.

I enjoyed today's show overall. Mainly the scenes at the Q's and at Alexis's home. I liked seeing Drew spend time with Monica and holding Bailey. I also liked seeing him spend time with Scout/Danny. I liked him offering words of comfort to Danny about Jason and bonding more with Scout. The scenes where she gave him the hot pink scarf and them hugging at the end were sweet and cute. I did think it was interesting how Rocco got testy with him when he offered to take Danny to a game. Rocco was getting territorial regarding Danny when he told Drew that Danny would be going to games with him "and his dad." We may end up seeing some conflict there if Drew gets closer to Danny and maybe Rocco feels he's a threat to the family situation that Sam/Dante have with their kids together. I also enjoyed Alexis and her children/grandchildren plus TJ and Shawn spending time together. I liked seeing them bond and tease each other, including them teasing Sam about having two men in her life. I also think it's nice that Shawn was made the publisher of The Invader.

Today's show was interrupted towards the end by President's Biden speech. But I enjoyed what was showed. Cam continues to do a great job as Drew. He has nice natural chemistry with people including Liz on today's show. They seemed very comfortable with each other and I enjoyed their scenes. He also had a nice moment with Cam. I also liked Laura reuniting with her family. It was nice to see her with Kevin again and interacting with Spencer/Cam. Lucy looked like she wanted and tried to make a move on Kevin, with the way she was acting when Laura showed up and how she threw herself on Santa's lap. Only to find out it was really Martin who had switched places so that Kevin/Laura could spend time together. I would have liked to have seen the rest of the Sprina scenes play out. Someone who caught the rest of the show said that Spencer invited Trina to the tree lighting and Victor told him that he can make a deal with the prosecutor that included, changing his plea to a guilty one like 500 hours of community service, paying Ava restitution and spending 30 days at Spring Ridge: ETA: There are tweets that Spencer may be working at Spring Ridge instead. Either way it looks like he may end up spending some time there. Maybe he will notice Esme's interaction with Ryan. And the New Charlotte made her appearance today. She looks to be around the same age as the old, one so it looks like it wasn't the other but older young lady that people were speculating it may have been.

I enjoyed today's show mainly Spencer/Victor, and Laura/Cyrus. Spencer and Victor have nice chemistry together. I enjoyed their interaction and agreed with Victor that you don't have to struggle to become a more virtuous/better person. I wonder if Spencer will end up taking him up on his offer to put him and Esme up at the Metro Court after initially refusing it. I also like Laura and Cyrus. It looks like Cyrus is at least telling the truth about not trying to kill Laura/Martin this time around. It looks like that was Victor's doing. I am interested in seeing how things shake out in that story. Victor says he considers Laura a worth adversary. I also thought that Liesl/Scotty were entertaining. Scotty's dislike of Sonny is funny. I thought some of the things he said about Sonny today were funny including calling him "Mitch" instead of Mike and talking about Sonny's relationship with Nina in Nixon Falls. He was going to spill the beans today about that to Carly but Liesl stopped him to protect Nina. I am interested in seeing how he uses that information to defend Nina. I'm looking forward to Drew interacting with Liz tomorrow. Cam continues to do a great job as Drew. He is sparkly and is has chemistry with a lot of people he's interacted with so far. He looks sparkly in tomorrow's preview with Liz. I wouldn't be surprised if they had chemistry. Though, I am really enjoying him with Sam and think they have really good chemistry.

I enjoyed Sam,Drew and Scout together today. I think that Sam/Drew have nice chemistry together and Scout is cute. They are a cute family. 🙂 https://twitter.com/__ItsBK/status/1471939373750837250 It's nice to see something positive in light of some of the darker stuff on the show lately like the stuff with Sasha/Brando their baby.

I'm glad your family got their boosters Soapsuds. 🙂 I hope you can get yours when you can. I do know some people are having to wait for appointments. My dad is getting his through the VA and he has to wait until the 27th of this month to get his. I was fortunate to be able to just walk in and get mine at military facility due to my employer. They have been offering them for a bit now like that now as long as people show military/civilian ID and provide information about your employer. I'm not sure which pharmacists are offering them and how the availability is looking for them. Though, I know that can vary in different areas. I remember trying to get my flu shot in October at Walgreens and they said it had to be appointment only and they had ran out. I ended up going to CVS that day and getting the flu shot without an appointment. If anyone is having a hard time getting it through a pharmacy you may can try your local health department. I think ours here is giving out the booster, though it may be by appointment as well.

I got my booster shot on Tuesday through my employer (federal government/military). It was fine. I like the way the medics in the military give them. They give them so quickly and effortlessly; I barely notice when they administer the shot and don't really feel it. It must be the way they are trained to give it. I honestly would rather go to them to get vaccines than a pharmacist. I hope everyone here and elsewhere who wants to get their booster shots get them in a timely manner.

I enjoyed today's show. I am continuing to really like Cam as Drew. He brings a nice warmth to the role. I liked his interaction with Sam and how emotional she got when she saw him. I also enjoyed his interaction with Scout. She seemed a bit hesitant to be around him at first, because she didn't remember him. But Sam/Dante did a good job of gently explaining a little about his reappearance. They made Scout feel safe which made her less afraid of Drew. When he gave her the unicorn that also made her more receptive towards him. I look forward to watching Cam's Drew interact with Scout. Cam has always been good with kids going back to his days on All My Children. I am looking forward to watching him interact with more of the cast especially Monica and the Q's. I also liked the Marshall/TJ and Curtis scenes. Marshall did seem a bit theatrical lol, when he kept dancing around who he was at first with TJ. But I'm glad that the truth came out. I'm not surprised that TJ was much more accepting of him than Curtis was. That just seems like that's something TJ would do, it fits his personality. I also liked the scenes with Sonny/Anna. And it looks like Carly may consider Britt another enemy now that she blames Britt for Jason's death. I do wonder how long Carly will hold onto that animosity towards her. If it will be longer term or if she will let it go sooner, as she finally comes to terms with Jason being gone. (At least for the time being.) Also, Valentin is definitely angry with Brook Lynn for her lying about Bailey. He had the dog mess up the turkey and insulted her causing Chase to punch him in the face.
