LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Another FIRE episode, ML!

Wow, okay. Let's start. Lauren and Scotty had a good scene. Getting everyone up to speed. Loved Scotty texting Rafe. That boy's a little ho. Excellent stuff! You WENT there.

Sister Patterson is FIXATED on Leslie. What does she see in her with that third eye? I'm so curious, it can't be a coincidence.

Devon is gonna kill Cane if the blast didn't already. LOL. Good scene there. The revelations keep coming! I love how you're having everyone get their time to learn the truths as they happen. Wise move.

I enjoyed Hillary's scene with her father. Humanizes her, and that was necessary. I'm not overly sympathetic to her because her motives were all kinds of selfish, but obviously she isn't all bad either. Good way to remind us of her POV. Wonder if she does something drastic in that tub.

AND THAT ENDING. I could just SEE the looks on everyone's faces as Dru came WAILING into the ER. YASS B*TCH! DRU WINTERS IS HOOOME!!! <3 <3 <3 SO excited. This is gonna be GOOD.

FABULOUS episode. You brought it this week YET AGAIN!

Great scenes yet again, Nick.

I loved the conflict of Jesse giving the news to Natalia that she's off the force. Very good stuff there, and motivating for her. You can see that push and pull between them and it's great.

I also liked the windows into the broken home with Greg, and Vin's twisted idea of love for Ali. All very insightful to their characters after the robbery. You set that up very well. I like how you show Vin's untamed aggression. I could see Greg's father ending up dead if he pushes someone too far. Interesting story potential.

Kayla, Roman and Steve's scenes were, as always great too. Kayla's so no-nonsense with Roman, and they played off each other well. Wonder how they're gonna get that warrant if they only have their hunches to go on.

GREAT stuff again! Really doing good work here, Nick!

GREAT episode. All the scenes moved, and pacing was great. The robbery scenes were very well executed. The tension and the build were fantastic and it's gonna be great to see how it all goes down after this.

Jesse and Kayla had a good interaction. Liking where that's going, and there's obviously potential to really get messy, which you know I love!

Derrick surprised me with that comment about Brittany and Billy. Gonna be interesting to see how he manages to make that one happen. No idea where that's going, and I kinda like that!

The triangle scenes were good too. JJ is, as usual, torn between the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Gotta love him, he's gonna screw up with Miranda so much and you know it. Wonder why Daniel is so adamant to keep him away, though. HMMM...

Fantastic episode. Really great work, Nick!

Liking a lot of what I'm seeing. The Eliza/JJ/Miranda stuff is good.That Eliza is dangerous. Good set up.

The BRO stuff is good family conflict, and I loved seeing Emily and Paul's reactions to Henry and Barbara. LOL.

The plots are really thickening all around. Liking that Greta is dealing with Stefano claiming to be her father. I'd be more than a little dubious though, the DiMeras are pretty notorious for cooking up nonsense for their own gains!

GREAT stories. Everything's moving nicely.

Great episode again, Cary.

Devin confronting Carl is gonna be great. I can definitely see the scenes playing out, and you're doing them justice. Can't wait to read that.

Joy and Steven are gonna be great too. Lots of dark secrets from the past in your show, and I'm enjoying you filling in those blanks for us. Loving the scuba gear hanging out in Joy's closet. Haha.

Vicky's reservations about Joy seem pretty well-founded, especially considering her surveillance of Marley's house. I guess there's more to the story than simply her working for Reginald. Great stuff there.

Lorna and Felicia's interaction is also good. Wonder what will happen when Christy's drugs take effect on Felicia.

Very tight episode. Simple and great impact. GOOD stuff!

YES! Christy is making moves! Dastardly plan there in motion. Sneaking something into Felcia's drink to send her over the edge. JUICY! The lead up was so well done, cutting between all the action in pieces. Very dramatic. Just perfect.

KC and Eric's date is already looking to be a mess. Kirkland and Charlie already having heated conflict so soon after their wedding. Not a good sign! Wonder where that's gonna go!

The merger seems interesting, though unless Amanda can get Iris ousted from KBAY, I'm not sure how good an idea it'll be. Definitely dramatic though, and I love that Amanda is making Iris sweat. Anything to make Iris sweat is good in my books!

ALL SO much good going on, very exciting!

GREAT work, Cary!

Great aftermath!

I love all the twists and turns of this episode. Philip coming to, and Chance going to find Cane is great stuff. He'll be out in Verdon Lou in time, surely.

Speaking of Verdon Lou, Avery going blind is a great move, I can see all sorts of possibilities there, a very dramatic scene as well as very well described. I definitely could see this playing out on TV. Loved seeing the slow reveal of Dru coming to after the blast. Classic Dru.

Oh Sister Patterson. So dramatic! Haha. Sad to see Neil and Nate being carted off, but it's good that all the family came together in those scenes. Very emotional and well-written.

You killed this episode yet again. VERY VERY pleased by how this has all been done. GREAT work, ML!

Great work yet again. I loved right away the connection Jack and Todd share. They share very similar histories and in a lot of ways are similar characters, though Todd's generally been written much darker. I'm glad you've brought those two together, as I feel they'll be able to really share an experience.

I loved that Jack is slowly getting those memories back of the DAYSaster. Wonder what happened from there!

Malik and Marah may definitely be a thing. I see a triangle with Dani forming already. Very good stuff!

The teens are very simple, and I understand since they are mostly new characters to us. Very good job setting those scenarios up, I already like Sam and Trinity.

Was also great to have Tea come around and catch up with Blair. I think Blair needs that, a friend to talk with. It'll help a lot for Blair since she seems a bit isolated right now from much of the action. That will obviously change with time, though

A great episode yet again. Well set up and good characterizations. Fantastic!

I'm all about this episode. Again, you handled it tenderly and it flowed SO well. You can just picture it all in your mind how it would play out on TV. Masterful!

Carl and Matt was sublime. Discussing their times, good and bad together. It was wonderful and an important little scene, even tying characters in that are off canvas like Jasmine and Lila. Great bit.

Cass and Frankie was cute, romantic, and sexy. Great scenes for them. Oh, and it looks like Frankie's premonition was right. Uh oh. Bad news on the Carl front.

OHHH the scene with Iris, Rachel and Amanda was BRILLIANT. I could just see Rachel's eyes rolling into the back of her head as Iris went on and on about herself. It's funny, because you can tell the love she has for Mac and how she's trying to relate and connect with Rachel to empathize about Rachel's imminent loss, but it all still comes off so painfully self-absorbed in a way that only Iris can do. Fantastic work there.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this episode!!

Christy is amazing yet again. Her repartee with Grant is giving me life. You've nailed all that set of characters beautifully. I love Christy's scheming, and you're really playing to Robin Mattson's strengths too. I wish I could see this on TV.

Lindsay and Gregory was another great scene. The anger and disappointment Lindsay feels is very well conveyed. You're doing a great job there, as I felt for both of them. You're doing a great job with that.

John and Sharlene working things out. Great move. I'm happy to see them together again. Have a strange feeling there's a lot more to come with that story, though.

Maggie is VERY well cast with Lindsay Hartley. Can't wait to see her mix it up with everyone in Bay City. You're making some great changes in this show, and it REALLY feels like a strong, centred show. If only the TV show had stayed so centred.

GREAT work, Cary!

Cary, you're so good at these emotional scenes. I'm envious of you. You nailed it AGAIN. That final scene with Carl and Rachel telling Cory and Lizzie about Carl's tumour was brilliant. Great song, great visuals. You nailed it. Kudos!

Elizabeth is fantastic already, I KNOW I'm gonna love her. And the dialogue was fantastic all throughout for all the scenes.

Really enjoyed Michele and Jake's scene. You could SENSE the rage building slowly in Michele and when it reached its boiling point. Fantastic scenes. Can't wait to see where that heads.

Beautiful episode, Cary. What a great tribute! Very touching and with a light touch. You didn't go overboard with flashbacks and kept the story moving. What a great balance!

I loved the scenes with Frankie and Cass. Frankie had a feeling something was off, and I like how you played her 'gift' as being something of a blurry line between being clairvoyant and simply being able to read people's emotions. Just a great little connection.

Carl and Rachel and the reveal of Carl's secret son. Good move. Again, not done for shock value, very delicately delivered. Fantastic.

I'm glad to see Elizabeth coming back. Gonna be interesting to see her interacting with everyone in this tough time.

FANTASTIC show, Cary. Congrats on coming this far!!

Awesome. I'm glad Jack's amnesia is so central to things. It's a very good way to go to bring the drama. Love Elijah and Eartha. Good chemistry between them. Gonna get messy there! The teens were good this episode. Wonder if Anne left her real number though I have to say I missed seeing Reva go after Blair this episode. Ha-ha. Oh well. Loved seeing Holden and Josh connect. You're doing a great job building the friendships. Keep at it. Dialogue keeps getting better and better. You have SUCH a good handle on Todd. I love it. GREAT work!!

I'm so intrigued by all of it, and yet it's all so mysterious. You're doing a great job of building all the mystery here.

Kastu seems to be in some majorly shady business. I'm curious to know exactly what it is. Wonder if it's connected to Natalia's coma at all, and the gang violence Jesse was talking about before.

Enjoyed the scenes with Greta in England. I quite often forget Greta ever existed. WHOOPS! LOL. Loved Steve's offhanded "back from the dead" comment. So very Salem of him

Bo's disappearance is really mystifying, but I'm sure Stefano's involved somehow, like always.

Having Henry come back was a good move. Not familiar with the weird family dynamic there but I'm sure i'll figure it out quickly.

Paul and Billy was another good scene. Good to get everyone grounded in their histories, especially in soapland, where everyone's addicted, and the show's set in this cess pool of vice! LOL

Great show, coming together nicely!

Your show is so different from the others, and I'm so glad it is. You bring a different flavour and I like that you're taking your time to build it all up slowly, This is good as we'll get to know everyone over time.

Loving JJ and Miranda. That's gonna be a good pairing for you. Both musical, and both with their own stories to tell. Great move.

Greg and Marcino is an interesting friendship. I'm curious to see where you take it. I like that you're making the friendships clear as we get to know everyone, it's small but it helps a lot.

The ATWT crowd is great. I know Emily will definitely veto Eliza taking a job at BRO and that's gonna cause even more havoc at home for Emily and Paul. Good stuff.

Your domestic abuse story is a good one, and I like that you're involving Kayla in it. Great stuff!

Natalia's awake! Loved those moments between Jesse and Angie. Good stuff coming there, and I can't wait to read about it.

Still in set up stages, but I see the action starting to build up, which is great. Keep going, you're doing a fantastic job.

OH GREAT, NOW THEY'RE ALL DEAD. Damn

Great stuff yet again. I like how it all tied together with Malcolm running into Avery, and then dumbass Cane insisting on taking another hit AFTER FIXING A GAS LEAK. What a fool. I guess James is dead too, I can't imagine anyone surviving explosives in their jackets.

My thoughts are jumbled a bit, this is So intense. Nate shoulda known better than to stand in front of Malcolm's car. He asked to be hit there. Very intense scenes all around, you KNOW how to write a climax, ML. This was one for the books.

I loved Sheila and Dru's fight. Loving how Dru gives as good as she gets. All VERY good stuff. Sharon and Dru are a bit of a team, and I enjoyed the recap back to the earlier stories when Dru came back to GC and wreaked all kinds of havoc. Helped fill in a lot for me.

VERY VERY good episode. I'm excited to see who survived the blast and what Malcolm does next. WOW!!!

Ohhh wow, you got Malcolm's history and pain so VERY good. So much intensity, so much rage, so much hurt. BRILLIANT work, ML.I loved every bit of this episode. You're doing AMAZING stuff here. The confrontation at the party, Sister Patterson abating the intensity momentarily, and Malcolm shooting Neil and taking Moses. oh WOW there's a LOT of stuff happening here and it's all very gripping.

Verdon Lou scenes as well are shaping up to be massive. It's all coming to a head there too, I can see it. You're setting up some VERY intense episodes and it's fantastic!

GREAT work, yet again, ML!

CRAZY good. Again, the focus is tight and the story was great.

Loved seeing the build up to the showdown at Verdon Lou. Avery need to put the coke down. Good lord. This won't end well for her if she's high. Can't wait to see it finish up, and I liked seeing Mary showing some humanity towards Dru. Very good stuff there. Good to see as I just can't buy Sheila's sociopathy being genetic, and James is a good guy, so I can't wait to see how everything goes down there.

Chaos at the Collonade room! VERY good stuff there, and seeing Malcolm explode into the room was magic. He's really come unhinged and I have NO idea what's gonna go down next. WOW! The secrets are coming out!

Great work, ML!

What an excellent episode. Great flow and so much happening. You can really feel a lot of stories are coming together with this one, and the tension is building beautifully.

Excellent stuff with Roxanne getting messy with her big secret, and Devon finding out and sucker punching Nate was fabulous. I can't wait to see the next beat of this story.

THIRSTY BUFFALO <3 LOLOL

VERY glad Lily's back with a new face. God knows Christel Khalil's no daughter of Drucilla to me, so I'm glad you went in a different direction. Great reveal there, and I love you using Sister Patterson like this. Great stuff.

The scenes at the hospital were good too. The more revealed, the more fingers are pointing Cane's way, hopefully they make it out to Verdon Lou in time to save everyone. Gonna be a HUGE finish to this story, I can tell. AWESOME stuff all around! GREAT episode, ML!

Lots of great moments here. Frankie and Shalene was a great beat to play. As always, good to see those families mingle. Great to see them going over what happened to Frankie all those years ago. And of course, the party invite. Gotta love all these soap parties lately. Haha.

Carl sneaking off to see Russ in hospital, and Rachel following him. It's so very Rachel. I'm glad Russ and Carl had that sort of...passing of the reigns, so to speak. Carl asking Russ to take care of Rachel.Very good history there, and I'm glad you're introducing Russ again. I also love that Rachel is just...so intuitive about the whole situation, a great note to end things on.

Can't wait to see how this party goes down. Sounds intense!

Alright. So the teens are here. Interesting start to it, and I know it'll take some time c to get everyone established. So I'm just enjoying the introductions for now. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Reva and Josh with Jack is excellent. Interested to see where that goes, especially since I know it'll end up connecting with Jen and Daniel later on. Great episode!

I wrote a massive comment on this episode and it ate it all, so this won't really capture everything, I'm sorry to say. Loved the scenes with Marley and Michele. Loved the reference to how long Marley's been pregnant, good little quip Donna is very intuitive about this, and that's good. Bridget is in danger, I can feel it. But so is Marley and the entire family. Joy and those cameras are up to no good for sure. Loved iris and Felicia's negotiations. Is iris really gonna sink her own father's company? I can't wait to find out. Great stuff yet again, Cary. You're doing great!!!

This is building SO well! Sister Patterson is KILLING me. LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Getting everyone singing Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing is genius! Haha!

Phillip in the hospital. Very good stuff, everyone's pulling for him. I wonder how that goes down. Hope he pulls through, and Cane is implicated. Things are reaching their climax! Didn't expect James to end up knocked out. Hope he wakes up and stops the madness. Cane is definitely not here for Dru and Sharon. I hope Dru tears him a new one when she gets freed.

You really got that tension building. I can't wait to see how it all ends.

WONDERFUL episode, ML.

So much humour, and great work all around. Esther and Karynn were WONDERFUL, and I love how very conflicted Karynn seems about Karl. She loves him, but only talks about him in terms of his money. I'm sure that that will be revealed more in time.

I can FEEL Verdon Lou coming to a head. This is gonna be a GREAT end to that story, I can feel it! Avery is gonna get caught in all this, surely. It doesn't look good for her.

I kinda like how you seem to be humanizing Daisy a bit. She's a bit of crazy but long-term that may be the best way to go with her. Give her friends etc.

Ohhhhh Sister Patterson. Leslie has no time for all that. Hilarious exchange there. I am so curious who the mystery woman is. Having a hard time guessing, actually! I'm REALLY excited for the next episode. This is gonna be HUGE!!!

I see you're ramping up the pace here. Probably a good idea. Lots of new folks on this show compared to UC. Hopefully we're able to get inside their heads!

Ali and Vin looks like a dangerous situation shaping up. I'm intrigued.

Can't wait to see where Steve's adventures are gonna take him. Wonder if Bo's disappearance is connected to Jack's, and I assume Steve will connect it all and deal with brother coming back.

Dannifer (barf). I know you're as much a fan of Dr. Orangutan as I am so I can't wait to see what misfortune you have planned there LOL.

Natalia wakes up! OOO!

Love Kayla and Angie's relationship, very good to see those friendship ties.

Good work. Keep building this up, I know it'll be awesome when it's all rolling!
