It would be a shame if we never got to see Sprina with these actors. But the way this show has been lately, I could see them just never completing that thread. Still if Sydney leaves I hope they recast Trina with Sprina in mind. I do not need to see this become sort of Joss/Spencer/Esme triangle 

Hopefully, we end up getting Sprina with this set of actors. Nick and Sydney are still promoting them and they do have that Zoom event coming up. Those are good signs for the couple and it does seem like the show is starting to have more movement with them again. Even with factoring in the shift with Spencer/Esme.

I do think that the show has been a bit disappointing with the way they've handled Sprina the past seven weeks,(Ever since the Turret scenes/Esme's official introduction.) They haven't given them much alone time after Esme showed up interrupting them on the Turret. They've had like one alone scene since then (right after the stalker reveal).That's pretty much been it, until the scene we will get on Monday's show. I would have liked to have seen them get more time to interact/bond in spite of Esme introduction.  I think that would have been better and given even more weight to them and the stalker reveal. 

And I think they should have also done a better job of developing Esme/explaining Spencer's motivations for being with her. She's been on too much to not have any more development than she's had. We really don't anything about her outside of the fact that she's Spencer's girlfriend and she's adopted. They should have done a better job of explaining her motives/who she's really/after what she really wants. I don't like how they are dragging out/being vague about her backstory.

My mistake, I should have said when her contract was originally supposed to be up. It is true that she was just taken off of contract, but I have seen people indicate elsewhere that she might  leave sooner than later. There are people that still think she might leave some time next year. There are people on Daytime Dish that said she did an interview a bit back that indicated this. (Though that may have been before Sprina really took off) They have people over there who seem to have insider information. They have been correct regarding information that they have posted months in advance about spoilers and some show departures.

Hopefully Sydney sticks around for a while, And people like Nick Chavez are still promoting Sprina which is a nice sign. But you never know. Regardless though I think that there has definitely been a bit of shift with the portrayal of Spencer/Esme's relationship lately. 

Esme/Spencer really don't have chemistry. But I definitely think there has been a shift in the way they have been portrayed as couple recently. I do think that the show has made them more touch feely lately as a couple and trying to sell them as more of a "real couple" for whatever reasons. Spencer went from not really being interested in Esme and being shocked/uncomfortable when she first kissed him to being more affectionate/boyfriendly towards her.

When he found out that Sonny was alive, he was being affectionate with her, by grabbing her hands and celebrating a bit with her. He's also been shown snuggling up with her recently on the couch/cuddling with her. He's been shown defending her both publicly and privately lately and now they have revealed they are sleeping together, which seems a bit deliberate on the show's part. I am definitely interested in seeing why there seems to be shift with them.

I wonder if it's because they may really like the actress AP that plays Esme. Maybe they want her to stick around longer term and this might be why they are indicating there might be genuine feelings between her and Spencer. Plus Sydney is now recurring. Granted she could still be shown a nice amount like WL/Cameron has been shown. But I did hear someone say that Sydney indicated she might leave when her contract was originally supposed to be up, I believe next spring.

If that is the case maybe that's another reason why they seem to have shifted with Esme/Spencer. Plus, they are dragging out Esme's backstory, and being deliberately being vague about it. Maybe's that another indication they want to keep her around longer. Drew who is on once or twice every two weeks situation has been explained better than Esme's had. We still don't know much of anything about Esme's background, motivation, etc..

Esme/Spencer still don't really have chemistry but I do think that the show has been trying to paint them more like a genuine couple lately and I wonder why that is.

Deacon and Shelia have good chemistry and I enjoyed their scenes today. I liked how the meshed from this initially trading insults to them realizing they had wanting to have relationships with their children in common. I liked her laugh at the end and the way that Deacon was looking when she said they would both see their children. They are interesting together. I'm also really enjoying Deacon and Hope's interaction. AN's doe eyed version of Hope actually plays well against Deacon trying to better himself as a man. I believe them as a father and daughter, wanting to have a relationship. And I wish that Liam and especially Brooke/Ridge would have backed off at least some. 

Today's show was loaded. It was pretty good. Spencer is really getting it handled to him left and right... Nikolas cuts his off his credit cards again, Carly doesn't want him to stay at the Metro Court and got on his case, after he tried to get Britt to pay for a room for him/Esme for a night. (While they figured things out) Also, lol at him wanting to be roommates with Britt. Britt told him no quickly on that lol. And Portia really doesn't seem to like him now that Trina told her the truth about getting her to lie about his identity and him being the stalker and drenching her with blood.

Portia is definitely going to be against any type of relationship he has with Trina, whether that's a friendship or a romance.  She did tell Trina she's a young woman now, but she also Nikolas that him and Spencer better not hurt Trina again. And if Spencer knows what's good for him, he will stay away from Trina. She will definitely disapprove of them and I think that when the parternity secret comes out that will cause even more tension with those three. As Trina will be hurt by that and I could see that drawing her closer to Spencer, who has also lied to her. Trina told ava today that she would never trust Spencer again, but I believe she will.

They've got Esme and Spencer acting closer and more and more like a couple. They indicated today they are sleeping together, with showing Esme in the hotel bed with nothing but a sheet wrapped around her. Esme does have a hold on Spencer and it's going to be interesting to see how that shakes out. She seems like she might end up manipulating Cam a bit, with him defending her today, saying that the Spencer was also responsible for the plan & him listening to her, when she plead with him to help Spencer. Joss isn't buying her act but Cam is and I could see that causing problems for Cam/Joss as well as the other teens. I am interested in seeing how things work out including learning more about Esme's background/the phone call on Monday and well as seeing Sprina get an alone scene on Monday. I do think that Trina will not really believe the stuff that spencer is telling her and will want to keep him at a distance, until she ends up getting closer to him.

Joss and Nina's scenes were also interesting today, when Joss became very emotional when she was talking about the gift that Nina gave her. She tore the pages out when she mentioned the things she wrote about while the family was grieving Sonny. She also told Nina she never wanted to see her again. Heck, maybe Nina/Spencer can talk to each other, since they both have made a lot of people mad lol.

And I was happy to see Phyllis visit Sonny. I liked their interaction and how she told him she wanted to meet him as Sonny. Their interaction was warm and lovely and they seemed as close as they were when she thought he was Mike. I'm glad he offered to look out for her and I hope she ends up sticking around in Port Charles. 

Also, a couple of people said on Twitter, that Sydney is now recurring and has been taken off of contract. That may just be because she's in college. Will Lipton is also recurring and we still see Cam a nice amount.

The ADD on this show is still hilarious. Stories start with fanfare and get dropped or backburnered. And Ridge and Brooke are basically the Buttinskys. Going around from story to story, screaming J’accuse! and wagging their fingers at different characters—Justin, Quinn, Sheila, Finn, Carter, Eric, now Deacon.

That is the truth Faulkner. Every time you turn around they are in somebody's business, scolding people and trying to tell them what to do. 

Though, lol at this scene from earlier this week when they were in Eric/Quinn's business:

"All over your woman..." lol. 

I enjoyed seeing Deacon again. Him and Hope have nice father/daughter chemistry. Maybe he has changed, at least somewhat.

I also continue to enjoy Thomas/Paris together. I think she fits this current, more mature, trying to keep his life straighter version of Thomas. Man bun and all, lol. Zende does seem happy with her, but it looks like this will definitely be at least a triangle. 

I am enjoying Paris/Thomas. He's falling for her already, but that's how they do on this show, lol. Plus, it actually fits with him as he falls quickly and did with women like Dayzee. I like the way he's trying to deal with his attraction/feelings for her. He's being mature about it & trying to be respectful, but it seems like he wants Paris. I wonder how things will play out especially since Zende is also in the picture. 

His storyline is pretty rough but look at Carter/LSV dominating the monthly counts lol. Though, I really do wish he was in a better storyline.

I enjoyed today's show. It focused more on the mystery storylines that are currently going on and that's fine. It was nice to see Robert back and working with Anna. I also liked seeing Nurse Chloe again, she has good chemistry with Drew, I wonder if they will interact again.

Speaking of Drew I enjoyed his scenes with Valentin. Cam/James have good chemistry together and their scenes in the cell were the best part of the show for me today. They fit together and I like how they interacted/played off each other to try and put things together regarding their abductions and other mysteries. I also liked how Valentin was telling Drew about Scout and what type of person she was.

I also thought it was interesting that Valentin/Victor want to work together to deal with Peter.

So they are testing Thomas and Paris? 

I think they are and I think that's a direction they could have went instead of trying to do something with her and Finn. Though, I do think her and Finn have chemistry and that Tanner was playing it like Finn had a connection with her. But in spite of that I do think it would be nice if Finn/Steffy got to be happy romantically for a bit before they really have another interloper in their romance. Thomas has been needing a genuine love interest for a while IMO and maybe him and Paris might work together.

I wonder if Escaflowne will be found dead in the pool come November sweeps

I wonder if the end of Esme may be closer than we think. I'm a bit surprised that they had Spencer reveal she was the one that set the fire so soon. And they are having more and more people become suspicious of her/think she's really any good, including people that aren't connected to the stalker situation. Today Nikolas said that he thinks she likes to stir the pot, while the teens continue to distrust her, & even people like Curtis & Michael/Willow found her to be untrustworthy/annoying. She looked a bit shocked when the teens told her about her plan failing & how it was revealed she set the fire. I had thought she might have been running amok longer without people knowing about stuff like the fire, but that came out quickly when the stalker reveal did. 

Maybe she's closer to being out the door than people may think.  Granted the actress is on contract (though who knows how that may play out) and I do think they may try something with her/Cam. Maybe depending on how things shake out with Cam/her current story might impact how long she might stick around. I am interested in seeing how they explain her backstory/connection to Ryan and where that may lead her character. 

Now that Nik/Ava are back together, I guess we will get more of their fade to floor kisses. Regardless why they are still doing that it doesn't work for me. I think it hinders whatever chemistry they have, (which already isn't as strong as other couples, including couples who still have good chemistry in spite of kissing/or lack of kissing scenes).

I really thought Jason had the "worst father of 2021" award locked down but Nikolas is coming in strong at the last second to steal it from him!

I too enjoyed the 30 seconds of alone time that Sprina got It's been so long! I think it will take Trina all of five minutes to forgive him, lol.

Nikolas is terrible. He has no regard for the well-being of his son and doesn't care about him. Even though Spencer is his only child, and he's Spencer's only living parent. He keeps hurting Spencer and showing/telling him he's not a priority for him. It's really unfortunate. I wonder where Spencer will end up now, maybe back at Kevin and Laura's. I actually think it would be interesting if he ended up staying at Sonny's, though Avery is still at his house. Sonny was upset with Spencer, but he still loves him and didn't disown him the way that Nikolas just did. Interestingly enough in spite of his faults and lifestyle, maybe Sonny could provide shelter for him, but also keep him some guidance. He loves him more than Nik does and has always been there for him.

I was glad to see Sprina finally get alone scene. There chemistry is still there for him and I don't think it will take Trina very long to forgive him. I do believe he was going to tell her liked her, and/or at least how much she means to him. I think if he gets the chance to tell her that, (without Esme's behind or someone interrupting lol) that will really start pushing things forward for them. 

I liked today's episode overall. 

I can understand that what Spencer did was wrong regarding the stalking and I can understand Nikolas being angry about that. But Nikolas is an awful father IMO. He came across as someone that really doesn't care about his son. All he cares about his Ava and having a life with her, and he's been that way since they fell for each other for real. He came across the same way today and I think it was awful that he said that Spencer was dead to him. What Spencer didn't wasn't bad enough to justify that. 

I thought that Nick Chavez did a nice job today as Spencer explained himself and his motivations to Nikolas and Ava. He did good job of expressing Spencer's hurt/regret for what he did. I was glad to see Sprina get an alone scene, though it was short. They still have good chemistry and I do believe Spencer was going to tell her he liked her before Esme showed up. Speaking of Esme she was over the canvas today annoying various people, lol. She annoyed Curtis and then Michael/Willow darted as soon as she showed up. She also interrupted Spencer/Trina. She is rubbing more people the wrong way and that doesn't bode well for her.

I also continue to like Sam/Dante together and I liked Nina/Curtis's scenes. Carly and Sonny scenes were okay. I do wonder if they will do more regarding Carly/Jason's feelings for each other and Nina's/Sonny's being that both Carly/Nina had flashbacks either talking about or showing their love for both men.

Not sure what to think on the Spencer reveal.

And there it is. Esme is with Ryan.

IMO, It wasn't good outside of Spencer really being remorseful and Sonny's reaction to Spencer being the stalker. I didn't like the way the spoiler sounded when it was mentioned how Trina/the teens would try and expose Spencer and I didn't like the execution of it. But Spencer was really sorry and that was good. Sonny was disappointed in Spencer but I believe he could forgive Spencer, he did mention he would talk to him again about the situation. Nik I think on the other hand will bascially disown Nik. I think that Sonny really doesn't like Nik (which was why he was so quick to want to deal with him) and he knows how Nik abandoned Spencer & he really hasn't been a fan of him. I think he may take that into consideration when he's talking to Spencer again about his actions. 

He's more upset that Spencer sent the Teddy Bear to Avery than anything he or Esme did to Nikolas. I do think that Sonny did overreact with the way he barged into Wyndemere to deal with Nik. He should have told Nik what he really heard and some of that chaos could have been avoided. He also shouldn't have been so quick to want to harm Nik due to him being Spencer's father and also Avery's step-father. Also, wonder how the show may address Esme/Ryan's connection.

Also, I enjoyed the Jax/Carly/Joss scenes today. I like how they addressed and dealt with thing as their own family unit. I am liking Jax in this aftermath of Nixon Falls/Nina's lies storyline. He hasn't been judgmental, or been throwing people under the bus. He also hasn't been trying to make things worse, nor does he seem to be making decisions because he's trying to get Nina back. He's been acting pretty level-headed and actually seemed fair when it comes to all of the parties involved including Sonny. I do think he really did want to bring Sonny home to his family, though he doesn't really like him. Joss is angry at Nina and I am interested in seeing what happens the next time they have an interaction.

I also like Maxie and Nina's relationship. Maxie is supportive, but realistic and non judgmental in how she's dealing with Nina. And I've been enjoying Scott too. 

I enjoyed today's show. Cam has been great lately, I'm really enjoying him. He's been excellent in his scenes with Spencer. Even though Cam and Spencer clashed a lot when they were younger Cam really does care about Spencer. He's expressed that and genuinely seems to want to help him, in spite of the plan he has going on with Trina/Joss. Even Spencer could sense that Cam really cares and was about to confess to Spencer, before Trina showed up unannounced and put a halt to that.

Cam has been more mature, sensible and realistic when it comes to the whole stalker reveal and how it will actually impact people including Spencer. Of all of the teens he's the one currently that actually seem to care about Spencer the most right now and how this could affect his life. I do believe he could have gotten through to Spencer had Trina not showed up.

Speaking of Trina she did get to interact with Spencer today. They didn't get alone time and there was a bit of coolness in their interaction today. They were both worried about different things, her regarding her plan not the way she attended, while Spencer was occupied and worried about what Esme did to stop Nikolas from leaving. Hopefully they will get to interact more later on and their interactions will be better.

I also liked the Esme scenes today including with Joss. Esme told Joss to mind her own business and mentioned how Joss has other things to occupy her time, instead of poking around in Esme's business. Esme also said that Cam was cute, lol. Yes he is, get him Esme, lol. Kevin also doesn't seem to like Esme and I thought it was amusing the way he told her to pick her own brain when she said she wanted to talk to him about the cognitive sciences. He knows that something isn't right with her.

Ava showed up to tell Ryan she knows he has something to do with he her stalker situation and warn him about that. Maybe Esme is connected to him after all.

Also, I enjoyed the Ned/Jason scenes today. That was nice. I like how Ned made Jason think about how his lifestyle and choices impacted his family including Monica and his children. I like how Ned told Jason that his family would always be there for him and reminded him that he's still a Q. Jason was telling Ned about how he was content with his choices, but he did seem to take some of what Ned said to heart. Jason seemed to appreciate Ned talking to him. It's nice watching Ned take on more of the Head of the family role. 

And it was nice seeing Sonny and Spencer interact and talk a little.

I just hate the idea that Phyllis was left in Nixon Falls with nothing and no one  Sonny needs to take care of her. 

I agree and Joyce Guy is a good actress. She needs to come to town. If Sonny doesn't bring her back, they can her visit Phyllis and somehow end up staying. But Sonny really is the one that should be looking out for her after all that her and Lenny did for him. She could continue to be a good friend to him. She really doesn't have anything or anyone right now. 

I had saw a spoiler a little while back about Epiphany taking care of an old friend, and I had thought it was going to be about Phyllis. But it looks it was about Epiphany catching up with Sonny on yesterday's show. Though, they could still give Phyllis other connections/possible family in PC.

Robert!!! And I'm happy about all the Britt spoilers.

Jax and Sonny's alliance better be them teaming up to kidnap Phyllis and get her to PC!

I wonder if their alliance may be about keeping the peace between Carly and Nina. Maybe they will kind of grudgingly agree to try and work together to help things not escalate more between Carly/Nina because they care about both women. They might also intend to keep the secret about her having feelings for Sonny under wraps for as long as they can. Maybe the Sonny lays ground rules for Nina plays into this alliance as well.

Though, I would like to see Phyllis. She has good chemistry with Sonny and I liked her scenes with Jax as well. I don't like how it seems like she's been dropped (at least for now). She was a good friend to Sonny, and her life was left in shambles, with losing Lenny and the Tan-O. Sonny should bring her to town and look out for her. 

Here are some upcoming daily spoilers from ontvtonight/TV Guide Spoilers:

October 11 2021- Jax and Sonny forge an unlikely truce. Jason catches Carly about to do something she might regret. Brando and Sasha get interrupted by a visitor. Ava advises Nikolas, who is deeply troubled about Spencer. Shawn tells Alexis he’ll stop investigating if she asks.

October 12 2021,Sonny lays down the ground rules with Nina. Carly makes an unexpected choice. Austin tries to win Jason over. Brook Lynn takes things to the next level. Exasperated Britt isn’t sure what to do next.

October 13, 2021-Sonny confronts Jason. Carly and Josslyn have a heart to heart. Trina’s surprised by her feelings. Austin cautions Maxie. Britt weighs her options.

October 14, 2021Sonny and Carly talk about the future. Spencer is forced to make a choice. Esme makes an emotional appeal to Nikolas. Britt seeks help from an unexpected source. Robert unearths a shocking discovery.

October 15, 2021 Curtis reveals more about his past to Portia. Spinelli confirms Jason’s suspicions. Anna and Robert make a surprising decision. Sam and Dante are thwarted. Victor dictates malicious commands.

It's nice to see Robert's back again. I hope we start to get more Sprina scenes again. Maybe the scene about Trina being surprised about her feelings comes from a scene where she gets to interact with Spencer alone again. I wonder what emotional plea Esme is making towards Nikolas. It could be to drop the charges that are against Spencer. Maybe she makes that plea, Nikolas actually does that and Esme gets credit for helping with their relationship. It also looks like Sonny may find out that Carly/Jason had real feelings for each other and will confront him about that. Jax and Sonny forging an unlikely truce could be interesting.

They need to play her with Cameron. Josslyn/Cameron need a spoiler too and I could see Josslyn 'exposing Esme' and Esme stealing Cameron away (while Sprina get closer). But we'll see. There's potential here. 

 

But like we're talking about in the September thread, they seem to be dragging their feet on a lot of things. It really just reeks of micromanagement from you-know-who.

 

It probably wouldn't hurt to add a third guy to the Joss/Cam/Trina/Spencer/Esme group. 

I think they should have added another guy from like PCU to make Spencer jealous over Trina.

Also, I wonder where they are going with this ongoing Spencer stays angry at Nava storyline. He's already stalked them and will be found out. And now he's going to be out for revenge. NC said that in SOD that's it about to be War, due to Spencer's feelings regarding being exposed and Nik kicking him out. I wonder how long that will go. I kind of wish they would go one of two directions, either maybe have Spencer try to really better himself and really fix his relationship with his father, even if Esme tries to get in the way of that.

Or maybe just have straight up cut ties from Nik and have him be his own man. Courtney had money from saving that lady's dog (though she used at least some to start a foundation), maybe some of that is around in a trust for Spencer. He can get access to that and be free of being dependent on Nik. Or maybe something comes out of him going to college, or becomes an intern at ELQ or something. A strained/mostly severed relationship with Nik could be a long ongoing thing, heck it's already been kind of happening for years.

Nik has shown multiple times before and during this stalker storyline that he doesn't put Spencer first. He kept putting Ava first and she even called him out on it. I think he will do it again, after the reveal which will fuel Spencer's anger. But I don't really see things being that interesting or really pushing things forward if Spencer just continues to be angry and try and get revenge, which won't work out for him.

I agree totally on Esme. They already seem to be wasting time. I think the whole 'Ava's stalker' storyline is stalling and keeps getting 'reset' if you will. We're all losing interest. I like the actress too and she seems to elevate a bit past the one-noteness of the character. I just don't get this show. There's "slow burn" (where, you know, it's actually interesting) and then there's whatever they call what they're doing.

 

Agreed on Carly and Nina. I could nitpick a few things but I'm satisfied for the most part. I wanted a slap really bad though.

I think that the Ava's stalker storyline is definitely stalking. And it does feel like according to what I've seen from the newest spoilers, like they are going to kind of reset after spencer is exposed. I wonder if a big reason it's stalling is because Ava/Nikolas haven't really kissed and haven't shown much in the way of physical intimacy.

I'm not sure if that's because MC is not vaccinated or maybe that's a choice by either or Maura not to kiss due to Covid, I don't know. But they are definitely lacking when it comes to kissing and physical closeness. Those bottom of their shoes kisses are not working. They couldn't do any better before the vaccines, but now the vaccines are out there. And IMO, Nik/Ava don't have enough chemistry to sell a pairing that can go without kissing/physical closeness. Sprina can sell that and a pair like Valentin/Anna can, but Nava can't IMO. 

So, I think that's why the show keeps doing everything to try and keep them apart so they don't have to kiss/have real intimacy. On one hand it brought us NC as Spencer, and he's a doing a great job in the role. On the other hand they can't do this forever. And even if they do reunite, after Spencer is exposed. (And I think they might) I think they still will flat as a couple because of the lack of physical closeness. 

And I don't like what they are doing with Sprina. No alone scenes and today Trina said she barely knew Spencer. Granted she hasn't known him a long time, but that did feel a bit cold. Cam showed more concern for Spencer's well-being today than Trina did. That may change as this story progresses, but that's not something I like to see. Though, maybe things will work out for them.

I liked the Carly/Nina confrontation for the most part. I would have loved a full on cat fight but of course Jason had to walk in. I'll take what I can get from this show at this point I guess. It wasn't totally one-sided for a change but it still was slanted in Carly's direction. Laura Wright and Cynthia Watros elevated some of it and I thought they were good...

I would like more POV from some of these people, like Escargot and even Jason and Liz. It's just so lacking. 

 

I know they're trying to keep Esme 'mysterious' but they have to give a little at times too ... I feel like they shifted directions on her already but I could be wrong.

I feel like the Nina/Carly scenes were solid overall, but felt just a little anemic due to lack of physical altercation, lol. In a situation like this it would make sense if Carly slapped Nina.

I agree, they've haven't told us enough about Esme. Like who is she really after? She's interacted with Kevin, hates Ava, and is also circling around Joss. Who is she really after? They could also give us more insight into her motivations, like what's driving her to do what she's doing. We're not given much of nothing but her hanging onto Spencer, while Sprina aren't given much of anything anymore in regards to airtime together.

They should have had at least one alone scenes with Spencer/Trina before he got exposed. But I don't think we are going to get that. We might not really get much of that for a while after he's exposed. They are wasting airtime with the way they are handling Esme. And I think that the actress can act which makes what they are doing worse.

I thought I was imagining this, so I'm glad someone else saw it too. I noticed those looks today. It seems so random? I mean I can't imagine Cameron ever getting with Esme since he knows she's crazy. But they definitely have more of a spark than Spencer/Esme (which isn't saying much because they have anti-chem but you know what I mean lol). I mean I'm all for Cam/Elmo if it gets her detached from Spencer's hip.

I've seen other people on places like Twitter say they noticed chemistry between them as well. I noticed it between them in their very first scene together at Kelly, when she was introduced to him. They were giving each other those types of looks when she told Cam that he was just like Spencer described him. Today they were even more smiley around each other, and throwing looks. I saw a spark between them. They could be interesting, especially if the show wants to keep Esme around longer term. I've seen a couple of people today mention she has a three year contract. I could be for them for as long as Esme isn't taken too far off the rails.

I see they haven't learned anything

Yeah, I'm not caring for it for a lot of reasons. And I don't think the way they've gone about the reveal is really pushing stuff forward. The truth about Spencer being the stalker comes out but what good does it really do (besides reunite Nva), if he's just going to continue to plot revenge against them and possibly the other teens as well.  He just spent months plotting revenge against them and will continue to do it, without any sort of good payoff. Also, I think they will continue to be stingy with Sprina scenes.

Spencer/Trina haven't had an alone scene since the scenes which was almost a month and half ago. I don't really think we are going to get much in the way of scenes with them for a while. I think that the show may have Spencer at odds a bit with the other teens, while still holding onto Esme, believing that she loves him, while she runs amock in Port Charles. I actually don't mind her still running around causing drama, or even Spencer staying with her a bit longer.

But I do think that we will continue to not get much with Sprina. I feel like they should have been given more moments to bond, before the reveal came out. That would have given more weight to it. But today they had Trina say she barely knows Spencer, while Spencer seems to be acting more boyfriend-y with Esme. Spencer and Trina should be given moments/scenes together (including some alone) that shows that they are still drawn to each other. But they haven't been really given any of that since his party.

Only bright spot I can see with this reveal if Cam/Esme interacting more. IMO, they have chemistry. I heard that the actress that plays Esme is on a three year contract, so it will probably benefit her that she has chemistry with Cam. Especially if she has some sort of connection to Joss.  

Cam/Esme have chemistry. I've seen it before in the interaction they had with each other when Esme was first introduced to him. There was a spark in their interactions and with the looks and smiles they were giving each other.  Their scenes and the Cam/Spencer scenes were the best part of today's show for me. Cam is lying to Spencer about some stuff, but he does seem to really care about him. 

Also, Nina/Carly were fine today, I do feel like we could have had a little more heat in their scenes today. Carly was pretty unapologetic regarding what she's done to Nina and her feelings towards her & Nelle. Nina seemed more remorseful, but still doesn't care about Carly. I wonder what Carly may try and do to Nina now that she's found out that she kept the secret about Sonny being alive.

And it does look like they might be headed back towards Jason/Britt.
