Contessa Donatella

I cannot abide Sonny as sticking himself into everyone's stuff in the name of giving them life advice! I won't see today's show for a few minutes yet. I'm not going to be glad to see Brando died. I'm the only person I know who likes him but I do. I liked all those people about an 85 percentile a year ago & now I just want to be free from having to hear them yammer on. I meant to say that the montage was excellent. That's something that is great when they get it right, so I appreciate that this time they did! I just dread so that Sasha HAS to go over the edge again. I don't see how she can take anymore.

This was a period of time when I had been a lapsed viewer & was trying to get back into the show & seemed to like people no one else did & I stayed confused as much as if I'd been a total newbie. None of my deep knowledge did me any good. Two questions: Who did Mark H play? Who played Nathan?

What?!! I just spit my drink out! That would be a fantabulous idea. Be Still My Heart. What an idea! Excuse my rabid fangrrling.

Okay, thnx. I looked it up. It's Universal Pictures, so that's like NBCU, the parent company to NBC, right?

He was sober & he was watching a MINIONS movie with the 2 kiddos but I thought they were watching it at home. Were they out? Do people take kids that little out that late?

Last minute of the episode, a thought, WHY does Gabi look surprised that Stefan wants his shares back? She would've been obsessing over that thought!

Bless her heart, I loved Lisa Trusel, but wasn't she pregnant about a dozen times?!!

Nancy is so desperate. It's appalling. And any reassurances they offered up front about not screwing with Nancy's character were just lies. Here's what they did to Nancy's character. They made her so desperate it's embarrassing to see her & hear her. This murder mystery was a chance to get rid of Leo and/or Gwen!! We're missing all the boats! At least they have the power to make us crave homemade banana split night! I just happened to glance at the actor who plays Johnny's twitter bio. He ends it with this: World's greatest lover. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Basically, {GUFFAW!} Do you think Jack's going to notice that Jenn is a pill popper? He's so sad. His whole speech today about Jenn saving him was just dripping with pathos. Where is Real Jack? Who knew he could be so totally cowed by guilt?!! At one point in his life he was far too arrogant to slide down into bare subsistence ego. And, Jenn is so far gone down "the valley of the dolls" she doesn't even seem to notice how glaring Jack's sadness is. But, if Craig did it, what was he doing in Abigail's bedroom late that night? And, why Abigail? Maybe he stabbed Sonny because of some gay male sleight? Or did Sonny have something to do with the bust-up of Leo & Craig? I've been to the dentist & I have chipmunk mouth & I'm frustrated with RonC's universe. But, why does Craig smell like vanilla?!!!

Was Rachel also called "The Woman In White" or am I crossing up references?

Oh, good, yes!! Well plotted, you're set for years to come.

I love it! 🙃

I have big issues with MB as an actor, as a celebrity, as a bipolar & in running his little fiefdom "State of Mind". People practically have to have the same experiences he has had for him to acknowledge them as valid. Don't get me wrong. He's bipolar but I believe he is bipolar with rage & that is no way a large part of the population of bipolars. And, even besides being bipolar it is a crying shame that he does such a power trip on younger actors. What's great is when vets will be mentors to kids. Of course, I would have issue with him no matter what because of the way I feel about Sonny & the Port Chuck mob. Not a fan. I sat & cringed when he did the podcast with Tyler Christopher. Excuse me for jumping in.

Well, you would think that the only reason vanilla would come up would be Sweet Bits. But, Challie had no beef with Abby.

It was nice to hear Will's voice too. I like Will. I was glad Maggie held her ground with Sarah. And I thought Maggie made a good point about her having to deal with Victor's past & not constantly be blaming him for things he did years ago. What've we got so far? Nice sweater, nice voice, Maggie made good point, ... this is truly pitiful. Well, I can choose to hope that Cady will get to slam Emily! That's my ticket.

Oh, you're right about the way they allocate screentime. Huge coverage of people talking to each other about Problem Z. Then, something undeveloped just HAPPENs. And, there's no repercussions either. And, @AbcNbc247you're right that Sarah is a clown. And, so is Xander! He's either totaly in control or completely wild at what he does. The only thing that's been compelling has been Chad's grief, Jenn's grief, Jack's angst & guilt & little Thomas. You can't have a soap be about 4 people's negative feelings.

Oh, at least that! That was one long nightmare. Well, she is so incredibly desperate. What's the message here?!! Shhhh. We don't actually want to see more of Clyde & Nancy!

Absolutely, literally almost the whole show was people talking about Sarah & Xander with Maggie nearly telling Sarah she's being stupid! I will say that when they let Suzanne Rogers get tough with someone she can definitely deliver the goods. Sarah talking to Maggie. Maggie talking to Sarah. Xander went to Jack's so he's talking to Jack. Jack's giving Xander advice so Jack is talking to Xander & referring to becoming a reporter. (??#@!) Geeze Louise.

I just finished watching the show & I can't believe we had to go through that 2 days where Sarah was so sure that she had to leave Xander because he took money to break up someone's marriage! And, now, Maggie gave her a rather candid talking to & she's gone back to him?!!! Why is it that people think Allie is wishy-washy again? It's Sarah who is wishy-washy! Good grief. Now they've kissed & made up. And, Nancy broke up with Clyde! She overheard him on the phone saying he didn't want her to know & decided that was the final straw, something illegal, immoral, or both! When the secret was a ring & down on one knee, blah blah marry me & she cried & said YES. They are weird. Then, of course, Craig walks in the door. Sheesh.

Boy, you are thoroughly tied in with Pine Valley citizens all over!

Yeah, well, if I'd known you were coming, I would've waited for you to put the DVDs in. But imagination & memory do so much! I think it was Bill Bell who said that if you have a fine pair of actors & a good script & a beautiful waterfall, then who needs the waterfall?!

You'd get to put Esquire or Esq. after your name. What's your name? I bet Ross would be a superb mentor.

ATWT gave such a gift with having Carly find out she was pregnant at the end of the show!

Maura's recent showdown where Ava & Esme have a classic fight was an unusual example of stagecraft for two women & was extremely effective within the storyline. Their stunt doubles were fantastic as well.
