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.

Cam looked like he was happy to be away from Cassadine island and ready to start interacting with more people, when he showed up at Sam's door. I am interested in seeing how his interactions with Sam and Scout are. I thought he was good with kids on All My Children. This is a nice picture of him with KM/Sam and the young girl that plays Scout. They look like a family. The little girl that plays Scout is cute.

I wonder who they will end up paring her with as well, if Sonny and Nina get together. She always had good chemistry with Shawn. It was still there when he held her hand looking at her engagement ring after he got of prison. I've also seen people speculate she might be paired with Drew. If so I wonder how that would work out. Her and CM did interact years ago in the What if scenarios that ABC did if different characters for their soaps interacted with each other. Who remember those skits lol. She did one as Carly with Cam as Ryan. I thought they had chemistry in this video, granted he was playing Ryan: I could see them having Drew mix it up with different women on the canvas. I could see him with a range of women from Britt all the way up to the 50 something women on this canvas. I would even says possibly Alexis as well, were he not the father of her granddaughter. I don't think they would put him with her at least not anytime soon due to that. Drew/Shawn could be two options for Carly, I'm not sure who else they might put her with.

I think that today's show may have been the last day for Jason/SB. I mentioned this already in the episodes thread, but Jason is believed to be stuck underneath the rubble and they showed that at the very end with a Tarot Card. They didn't show a body. I think that's it is for him, at least for now. Though, I think he will continue to be mentioned and people may search for him for a bit more. Also, Jax got a peaceful exit where he mentioned leaving town to go to Sydney to work on business. He argued a bit with Carly at the end and his final scene was telling Nina not to get too close to Sonny. It looks like neither guy got a really bad exit, or one that could be determined as super final. Though I don't expect at least Ingo back anytime soon if ever. Not sure what may happen with Steve Burton, especially if he changed/changes his mind.

I enjoyed today's show, especially the scenes with Drew. I thought his interaction with Britt was interesting. He was being tender with her, caressing her a little when she in the cave and was trying to comfort her/assure her about Jason. I wonder if the writers might do something with them. And/Or maybe it's just Cam mainly showing Drew having compassion for a woman that cares for his brother. Cam is one that tends to have chemistry with a lot of people, and I am interested in seeing who they may pair Drew with. They may have him mix it up for a bit, while mainly focusing on his daughter. I also thought that Maxie comforting Brando was interesting. She did a nice job of supporting him when he was worried about Sasha and their baby. I also like the Sonny/Nina scenes. They continue to have nice chemistry together and Sonny is showing how much he cares about her. Him staying to comfort her when she was worried about Sasha/the baby instead of going to the hospital as he originally planned was proof of that IMO. Also, I wonder what Valentin may end up doing considering how upset he is about finding out that Bailey's isn't his. Chase seemed excited to help Brook Lynn with her lie and I could see this situation bringing them closer together. It looks like today may have been the last day for both Jax and Jason. They gave Jax a peaceful exit where he mentions that he's going back to Sydney due to business piling up. He told Carly he's not sure when he will be back. He also argued a bit with her about her relationship with Jason and her role in the mob. Jax last scene was him warning Nina to not get sucked back in with Sonny when he saw them together at Charlie's. Jason is believed to be stuck underneath the rubble in the cave. There was no body and Drew, and Britt hope he's still alive. But I think today's show is the last we will see of him for at least a bit. Though I could see them continuing to search and definitely mentioning him.

I enjoyed today's show and have been enjoying it in general lately. I like that lately we have been seeing more of an ensemble and that multiple storylines have been featured. I've really been enjoying the stuff with Jack/Li lately. I like NM as Li and how she is holding Jack accountable for his actions. I also like the "caught up" look that TK has been portraying as Jack has to face the music regarding his actions. I like how Li is mature and composed as she's dealing with Jack and making him own up to what he did. NM and TK have been excellent in their scenes recently and I have noticed them getting a lot of compliments/appreciation, at least on places like Twitter. I am also enjoying Finn and continue to enjoy Thomas/Paris and their story with Zende. I think that looks that Thomas gives Paris are very romantic. He really looked like she had rejected him today when she said she was unsure of whether or not she could have dinner with him. I am looking forward to seeing how that story plays out and I do think he will declare feelings for her soon.

I definitely think they could be killing off the Brasha baby. It seemed like their conversation today especially with the way they were throwing out names and the one they decided. (Lavious or whatever they chose lol), indicated this child may not end up living. I had wondered if the show would give them a happy/healthy birth. I wonder if they may have changed directions to have Brando go darker and back to doing stuff for the mob. Also, I continue to enjoy CM as Drew. I agree with the poster that says that he has nice chemistry with SB. They do have nice chemistry as brothers, even if they weren't that close. I could have seen a situation if SB had stayed around, where maybe they could have gotten considerably closer. And while I normally like Brook Lynn, I don't think she came across well today. I thought she came across as very insincere, especially with her tears. She is misleading Valentin about multiple things. She has been lying about the true paternity and maternity of Bailey and hasn't really stopped to think how that would impact people like Valentin and Charlotte who think that Bailey is their relative. Eventually if they had managed to get Peter out of their lives the truth would have come out. And Brook Lynn failed to think about how to deal with and the people it would hurt. She concocted the pregnancy for self-serving purposes in addition to helping Maxie. She would be better off at this point of just telling Valentin the truth about everything including wanting to protect Bailey from Peter, because he's Maxie's child. I think he would be more understanding (though still hurt) if she did that. I wonder how long this baby lie will go on. Especially since I'm reading from people who get SOD/other spoilers early that now: If so this lie may continue to drag on, and it's been dragging for a bit now.

I enjoyed today's show. It was a bit "meatier" than B&B has been in a while. I thought that the Jack/Li scenes were interesting. TK and especially NM did good work in the reveal scenes today. Her reaction and the look she gave to learning that Jack was really Finn's biological father was soapy. And I continue to like Finn and that he's a good hearted character. I am interested in seeing how he responds when he learns the truth about Jack being his biological father. I also like the Thomas/Paris/Zende stuff. Zende is going to propose to Paris, but Thomas has feelings for her. I am interested in seeing how things play out in there.

I liked today's show overall. Nina and Shawn have nice chemistry. They also look good together. I could see them getting closer especially since Shawn told her he would like to be her friend and gave her his number. Nina/Sonny continue to have nice chemistry as well and I liked that they were both supportive of Phyllis managing Charlie's. I'm glad that Phyllis will be sticking around. I also liked seeing Scott talk to Cam and offer to give him advice. And it was nice seeing Alexis out of prison and her and Dante having a nice conversation with each other, where he told her believed she had paid her debt and to forgive herself. I also continue to wonder about the mysterious man Marshall, I do think he's Curtis's dad and is looking out for him. I wonder if he's connected to the mob or what type of guy he really is.

I wonder how long this estrangment will last. Granted I do want Spencer to have some distance from Nikolas because Nikolas has been a terrible father to him since he's come back. And has constantly put Ava above his any of his son's needs. But I don't like him turning his back all the way on his family name/wealth. Cassadine is a part of his makeup for better or worse. I do wonder how things will shake out there. Plus, I don't like how he's constantly being written to act on what other people say all of the time. He's a smart young man and he should be able to come to some decisions on his own, (though good guidance helps). He's been heavily influenced by Nikolas, Esme and now Trina. He's mainly made big decisions to please them and I wish he would be more driven on his own to better himself. Not because he's constantly groveling wants/needs somebody's love and/or respect. Plus, I do not like the constant behind kissing of Ava for Trina. Her animosity today for Spencer mainly being driven by that doesn't sit well for me. If it was Portia I could understand it better, but not Ava. Who has done far worse than Spencer though Trina think she walks on water. I am interested in seeing how things play out. Spencer does need a good lawyer. Maybe Alexis will be able to help him. I think it would be interesting watching her defend him. I also thought he did make good points today about needing to support himself, not everything he said was just about trying to get money to be rich again. I like him best as a rich kid, so maybe he can find a way to become independent wealthy or at least comfortable. Maybe he can think of some sort of business venture. Heck, maybe even him and Cam may end up going into business together at some point.

I thought that today's show was good overall. But I actually didn't like the way that some of the Sprina stuff played out especially at the very end. (Though, I think that is going to be an unpopular opinion amongst people in that fanbase at least on places like Twitter.) I actually thought that Trina was a bit too harsh on him and I don't like that most of her anger seemed to be driven by her blinded admiration/worship of Ava. Spencer has made mistakes, but the way she was going on at him today and mainly for Ava was a bit much. The scene where Spencer basically disowning Nikolas/his Cassadine name/wealth at the end was also a bit much. Granted, I did/do wanted Spencer to get distance from Nikolas and I think it would be good if he became more independent. But he didn't have to disown his entire family name and all of that. Trina told him to be his own man and not to do stuff to impress people, but he seems like he did all of that to impress her. IMO, He needs to want to be better for himself, more than for anyone else, even Trina. And I do not like the constant Ava worship from Trina. Also, Esme is a troublemaker. It looks like she's definitely trying to push Joss/Cam into bed for some reason or another. I still hope they will end up developing her more. And I still wonder about the mysterious man that beat him. I wonder who (possibly Papa Ashford/Granddaddy Ashford) background really is. Is he a mobster/gangster/criminal, a vigilante. And/or beat Joey up because he's really protective of Curtis. He beat him down pretty badly, and I wonder what the story is there.

If this is true, the show can move on and feature other men more. They do have a lot of men in Steve's/Jason's age range. I would like to see them elevate/do more with Sean Blackmore/Shawn on the show. He is handsome, charismatic and has good chemistry with a lot of people. They can possibly move him back in Carly's direction and do Sonny/Nina. Cameron Mathison has also been doing a nice job as Drew and is one that tends to have chemistry with different people. They can really integrate him back into the Quatermaine fold. Shawn/Drew could be featured more in place of Jason's absence and they can even throw some more airtime to someone like Chase. He's not in that age range, but he's likeable and deserves to be featured more IMO.

I enjoyed today's show overall. I liked when Trina grabbed Spencer's hand in concern when she noticed that he was burned. It wasn't even a large burn but she seemed very concerned for him. And he seemed happy about that, he also seemed happy when she told him she couldn't trust her feelings for him. Trina is still very hesitant doesn't really trust Spencer right now and wants him to prove himself. I think he's growing as a person and will become a better person. (Though I still hope he has a bit of an edge to him) I'm also glad it looks like he wants to move away from trying to so hard to get Nik's love. He may try and keep distance for Nik for a bit, and I don't blame him at all for doing that. He's better off doing better for himself. I had thought that Esme would bring up Joss/Cam's romantic life and that would make Joss feel uncomfortable. I wonder if Esme will continue to use that to poke at Joss or try and get at Cam in some way. It also looks like Esme overheard Joss's/Trina's conversation about Spencer visiting her. Esme looked upset about that and I could see her becoming more aware of their closeness and that causing problems. And I think that Joss will go into more detail with Trina about her conversation with Esme about Cam/Spencer. I liked that Shawn called Nikolas out for his actions. I do wonder what Shawn will end up doing now that Nikolas told him Hayden knew he had her shot. Hopefully they find something for Shawn to do and give him a good storyline. I also like Harmony/Alexis's conversation about Alexis possibly taking the deal, her feelings about her Cassadine family members and Alexis being afraid to leave the prison. Harmony provided Alexis with some really good insight. Their conversation was interesting. And I was a little surprised to see Drew pop up when he did, but him facing off with Jason was okay. I wonder when Drew will end up going back to normal. '

I'm glad to see they have been reunited. 🙂 No doubt this means a lot to both of them. I also think he looks like he's a nice person and that he looks like her.

lol. I don't know if you have ever applied to jobs on that site before, but if you really would like to try and get another job here are some tips for you for applying if you haven't. (I apologize if I posted these steps before, I can't remember if I have lol.) You want to make sure that you put the description of the job responsibilities on your resume. Though, you don't want to do it for word for word. They ask people not to do that. But you can reword it in a way that still mentions/highlight the key job responsibilities. You also need to make sure you put the full tenure of each job you have up there. (like January 2020-September 2021) up there. They will look for that and a an application can be rejected due to that. And you are an expert at everything when it comes to responses on the questionnaire they give you. Either that or an experienced journeyman for everything, depending on what type of job you are applying for like a WG job. I actually got hired on a contract back in April 2020 when Covid first started really becoming rampant. Our Department/Agency had a lot of people that were high risk sent home for a year with pay. I believe they got to continue to acquire retirement/vacation time as well when they were off. I found out about job openings through an acquaintance of my dad and asked about it in person. I gave them my resume and got hired quickly. I didn't go through the original application process when I was first hired on. Later on when I was applying for permanent jobs I did and my application got rejected/kicked back a few times. This was due to things I didn't know about/not having information posted the way they wanted. They are pretty specific on what they want on a resume/application, it's important for people to try and get things right earlier on. But I finally did and ended up becoming permanent later on. There are some decent federal jobs out there with good benefits. And there might be several jobs openings popping up, if people won't get vaccinated. I wish you and anyone else that might want to get a federal job good luck if you apply for one. 🙂

Nikolas continues to go downhill as a character. On today's show he actually asked Spencer if Sam and Molly of all people were trying to drive a bigger wedge between the two of them. (When he was trying to figure out who had put Spencer up to questioning him about Hayden's shooting.) Sam/Molly who he hasn't interacted with in a while (And Molly is barely on), and who are preoccupied with other things. Especially Sam who is trying to find out if the father of one of her children is still alive. Though Nik doesn't care about that, because he spends most of his time either worshipping Ava or antagonizing/alienating Spencer. It's something that he would even think to accuse them of trying to set him up, it's just goes to show once again he doesn't really seem to pay attention to much or really care about anyone but himself and Ava. The confrontation between them didn't go quite as I expected. Spencer shoved him only after Nikolas grabbed him to see if he was recording him. And Nikolas shoved him as well, tried to rough him up a bit. I had thought that Spencer might disown Nikolas but he didn't. At the end of the day he still loves that bonehead he calls father. I believe he really didn't want Nikolas to be found guilty of Hayden's shooting and that he was more disappointed than anything with Nikolas. He even tried to give Nikolas a bit of an out when he asked him his motivation behind having Hayden shot. But Nikolas once again fails to take responsibility for his actions. I do believe he continues to be headed towards a fall. I am interested in seeing how his conversation with Shawn goes tomorrow. I also am glad to see Spencer/Trina interacting on tomorrow's show. I'm glad he's going to confide in her at the gallery. I think there is a shift going on with Spencer's character. He seems to behaving better since he admitted to the stalking and gotten a job. I think he's maturing more and that will bode well for him and Trina's romance. I also liked the Sam/Dante/Carly/Sonny scenes today. The scenes between them were warm and amiable. I'm also glad that Britt found Liesl. I thought that her scenes with her and Jason swimming in their scuba gear in Greece were okay.

Spencer is being held accountable for his actions, more so than Nikolas has been. He's awaiting trial and has gotten the ire of several people in town including Sonny. (Though Sonny still cares for him).(And nothing he's done is worse than Nikolas having a woman shot or any of the countless crimes Ava has committed that have resulted/contributed to the death of multiple people. I think it's very hypocritical for them to be so adamant about him having consequences considering all they've done especially Ava.) I also think that if Nik/Ava were that serious about people being held accountable they would have filed charges against Esme who did worse than Spencer by setting Ava's car on fire. Esme is a danger but they are letting that slide and I believe that could also come back to bite them especially Ava. It's time for Nikolas to be held accountable and I believe that is what is going to happen. I think that Nik is due for a fall, maybe it will start today after Spencer pushes him. I believe even if Spencer hadn't gotten involved, Shawn/Alexis would have found a way to try and take him down. Especially after the way he behaved towards Alexis in the prison.

Federal employees have until November 22nd to be fully vaccinated. At my job we were told that in earlier October. We have to sign a document and show proof of having a vaccination card, either let our bosses photocopy or provide a photocopy of itself by this week. On the document we signed in October it stated if you don't have the vaccine by the November 22nd you will have to retire or resign. I think I have at least one co-worker who isn't vaccinated and may not intend to get vaccinated. I had a few others who spoke out against it, and one who seemed scared to take it. But I think they may have changed their minds. You might see several job openings popping up after this deadline approaches. There are federal employees who are scrounging around to try and see if they can get a medical or religious exemption (I think that most may actually try and obtain a religious exemption). But I don't see that working for most of them. If so vaccinated people can apply for jobs at usajobs.gov. Federal jobs have a lot of good benefits including a generous leave, and a pension. Also, I found out that from a co-worker that I am eligible for a booster due to my job (we deal with a lot of military personnel/high exposure.) I will look to get that a couple/few weeks from now, I just got my flu shot on Saturday and will have to wait a bit until I can get a booster. Also, I'm glad to see Ponds got her booster.

It's unfortunate that things have gotten physical between them, but at the same time I mainly lay the blame at Nikolas's feet. Nikolas has brought this upon himself. With his terrible behavior in general and neglect/mistreatment of his son. And now his treatment of Alexis who has constantly supported him through thick and thin. It's time for some comeuppance for Nikolas. Spencer for whatever his faults has loved his father and wanted to protect him. Even as late as Friday's episode he wanted to protect Nikolas and expressed he didn't want to see him go to prison. Even when Nikolas didn't really have a problem with Spencer getting arrested for lesser stuff and let him sit in a jail cell without even visiting him. And would have let him sit there, until his trial began had Laura/Kevin not bailed him out. And kept right on living his life. Nikolas has kept trying to claim having the higher moral ground with Spencer, even knowing he and Ava have both done stuff that is way worse than anything Spencer has done. And now the chickens are coming home to roost for him, lol. I do think that Spencer may disown him or at least cut ties with him a bit. I am in favor of him doing along those lines. Spencer has actually been faring better as a person since he started working, he's showing some growth. (Though I still would like him to keep an edge as well). He has people like Laura and Sonny that actually care about him. And I liked his interaction with Shawn as well, maybe they can develop a friendship/bond. He can survive with some distance between himself and Nikolas right now.

Nikolas/Spencer's relationship has really deteriorated and I mainly blame that on Nikolas. Now the animosity between them has gotten physical. I believe that Nikolas tries to explain himself/reaches out to try and touch Spencer after Spencer confronts him about Hayden's shooting/realizes his role in it. But Spencer will want nothing to do with him and will shove him away. I think he might end up possibly disowning Nikolas/cutting ties with him for a bit. I think that keeping some distance from his father may be best for Spencer right now Nikolas really is acting terribly. I think that Spencer could be headed towards getting his life in order with him having a new job and growing close to Trina again. He seems to be acting a bit better since he's been a bit more independent.

I think he looks like Bradley Cooper a bit in that second picture. I do wonder if they have finally recast Chance again. I wonder why they couldn't get Justin Gaston back, but maybe he actually didn't want to be in that role longer term. I would have taken him, because I think he was a nice fit for the role. I also really liked John Driscoll in the role. John did take a break from acting and joined the military, but I believe he recently went back to acting, and was doing an audio drama/podcast soap opera.

Spencer seems energized by working though the jobs has some ups and downs. He is hustling and getting after it. Also, he continues to show that still wants his father's love. That is consistent with him, he won't let go of the animosity he has towards Ava, but deep down he does want a relationship with Nikolas. Speaking of Nikolas it seems like he's headed for a fall. Especially since Shawn/Alexis are going to work to prove that he's guilty of having Hayden shot. Alexis mentioned his poor treatment of Spencer and other things he's done wrong/how he's behaved since he came back after pretending to be dead. She definitely called him out big time. Alexis is serious about wanting him to face consequences for that and for letting Shawn go to jail for that crime. I am interested in seeing how they get Spencer to help them. Shawn has good chemistry with Spencer and I look forward to watching them interact more. I also wish they would develop Esme more. She told Ava today she wasn't close to her family but that was really the only development we got from her. She tried to make Spencer out to be worse than what he is, when she told Ava she did everything due to following instructions from him. (Instead of being truthful about going rogue with things like the fire). Ava did warn her at the end not to cross her again. Nina/Carly's exchange was interesting. Nina definitely is not backing down and it seemed like she's getting closer to slipping up and possibly telling or at least hinting to Carly about her and Sonny's closeness when he was Mike. Sonny does seem bothered by their fighting and he looks like he doesn't really want Nina to go to jail for anything. And I do wonder if the man that's asking about Curtis is connected to Cyrus. I definitely think he's Curtis's dad but I wonder why they had Sonny have that conversation with Curtis/Portia today. Maybe there is a connection there, though I wonder if it's more of a red herring. Portia did say she got an uneasy feeling after talking to the mysterious man, so there could be something there.

My favorite part of today's show was Spencer interacting with Molly and Shawn. He had good chemistry with both of them and I enjoyed the warm encounters he shared with both of them. Him and Molly were cute together and looked like they could be related. Shawn also seemed to care more about him and have more sympathy for his situation/how Nikolas has failed him. Shawn seemed to care more about Spencer's well-being than Nikolas has. I would like to see Spencer interact with both of them more. Speaking of Spencer outside of his initial scene where he was reading a book during a slow period, he was working hard and hustling today at Kelly's. He didn't come across as a slacker at all or trying to get over when it comes to work. I think that will bode well for him in the future when he has other jobs/a career. I also enjoyed seeing TJ again and wish he was on more often. Nikolas continues to become more and more unlikeable. I don't like the way he was with Alexis in prison today. He basically told her he would arrange for her to go free if she kept quiet about his role in Hayden's shooting, even though he knows she feels bad about Shawn being locked up for years. And then he talks bad about Shawn and make it seem like he doesn't have good qualities when Alexis brings up that Shawn went to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Nikolas continues to look out for only his behind and Ava's at the expense of other people, including people he claims to care about. I do wonder if he is headed for a fall. The mystery man that keeps asking questions about Curtis (and who I think is his daddy) is being a bit too obvious about his interest in him. Portia left Kelly's because of that when she was originally going to go in and possibly interact with Spencer. It doesn't seem like Curtis knows who this man is yet. Avery called Carly "Mama Carly", today when her and Sonny were sharing a close moment during breakfast. And Willow was the worst part of the show today for me. She is boring and I didn't really care about how her feelings about Michael making a decision regarding having Nina arrested. She is dull right now, though I think she was more interesting with Chase. I can't say I'm interested in seeing her and Michael get married again.
