My favorite part of today is the sad stuff with Julia/Linda. These scenes are killing me - and I'm loving how Tad/Dixie/Julia/Jamie are interacting with the kids (Kathy, Little A). Great dialogue in this part today. Sydney Penny was amazing in that chapel scene with Tad watching on. Tears, emotion, raw - perfect.

Of course the Erica/Babe banter is hilarious...but Jeff Martin had to come in looking like a fool and ruin it!

Interesting about Zarf having Zach's mother ripped from a magazine, but I'm suspecting he had so many women cut out that he was just getting ideas on how to do hair/makeup/etc....nothing big.

Loving the Dani stuff -- I liked how Derek called her to check up on her.

But Zach's mother died over 30 years ago - what was Zarf doing with an old picture like that?

I've been waiting 18 years for Tad and Dixie to have a little girl so I'm excited to see their scenes with Kathy! I hope they find out she is Kate soon.

Sydney Penny totally owned this show today. She was REAL, her emotions, the situation is real drama...what soaps are supposed to be about. Her scenes have pulled me when I expect to be bored time and again.

With much ballyhooed Carlson stuff I expect to get pulled in and then end up tossed out of the moment by his broad interpretation of Zarf/Zoe (while acknowledging the characters are out there....still).

BTW, it's EvilMcHackVisionPimper!FatherClarence's fault, Julia...not yours.

I'm kinda bored with the rest of it.

Hobilly and Erica confrontation good but not as good as it should have been. At least Erica won out.

I hate that dress on Alexa. The whole presentation with bright blonde hair, fair skin and maybe even the pale background contributes...just looks so washed out to me. Thought I loved the bangs. I did for 1 eppy. Hate 'em bad now. I will have a hard time taking any serious secenes with BangBabe because it just youngs her up too much and makes her look a bit, vacuous, somehow. Let's bring back Big Girl-Grownup Hair.

I should have posted this for yesterday's show. Surprised more folks didn't find it objectionable how McT ripped off, so to speak Bianca's coming out scene. Deriative once more. The woman must not have a truly original thought in her head.

McT is a hack and a thief (simultaneously destroying and plagiarizing Agnes Nixon's vision).

And just how many tranny beatings, strippings, humiliations, interrogations, falsie exposings, do you reckon we'll get before this is all over? Want to make sure to be down the TG as much as possible to help build up Babe as much as possible. Folks are eating it up with a spoon.

Awesome ending! Tanisha did a great job at feeling something, then passing out, then coming to, and then passing out for good.

So this is interesting that Josh and Babe are the ones who found Erin and Simone dead - and now they'll be the ones to find Dani unconscious.

Finally - I don't think Dani will die. Now the question is, when she looked up before finally passing out - did she see the Satin Slayer standing over her? It made it seem like she did - and if she did - will she remember or completely forget? Maybe she'll be the only one to know, but she'll be in the hospital and can't say anything!

Interesting!!!

Oh yeah.

I don't care for his interpretation of Derek Frye in general, but I really bought what Charles Parnell's (is that right?) acting today. Really good, I felt his worry over Dani on a father level. I liked he was so serious in a realistic way with SuperCouple/BossesO'Kendall Zach and Ryan. Just a really nice job.

I just miss OriginalRecipeDerek's humor and understanding of the foibles and flaws of PV residents. The role still belongs to him, imo.

ACK!! Dr. Wuss Martin...making his move. ACK!! Make it stop.

As much as I enjoy the opportunity to see Dani, I HATE it's just to be another victim. Yeah, she may survive, I hope she does and it means the beginning of more participation from entire Frey clan. No trust in TPTB, so I can't say I am hopeful...just wishing.

ITA that Sydney Penney owned this episode. I can't think of enough superlatives to describe her!

I loved that Erica won the battle with Babe, even if it hasn't become an all-out war yet. I hope for more scenes like this with both Kendall & Bianca joining their mother. :P

I loved Tad telling Dixie how worried he is for her; it feels like a baby step to their reunion to me.

I think you're right, AlwaysAMC, that Zarf was collecting women's pictures from magazines for ideas on clothing, makeup, hairstyles, etc. In my worst McTavishian nightmare, Zarf would be a Cambias. I would be so happy to never hear that surname again!

I just wish Dani had had more substantial material before she was poisoned. It's been so long since Tanisha was utilized that to me her scenes with Derek felt contrived yesterday, as did their phone call today.

I will agree that the Frye stuff is contrived in order to further push the Satin Slayer storyline but I still loved that they are getting scenes and they truly did have warmth and depth to them. I thought today's episode for the most part was really intriguing and entertaining and intense with the Satin Slayer stalking Dani. She so saw whoever it was at the end because she gasped and then passed out. That tells me its definately someone she knows! I would assume so. Because she like totally woke up out of her groggyness. So that means its someone on the canvas if you ask me.

The whole stuff regarding Kathy and Julia today, was amazing. I am so glad that finally TPTB see what talent Sydney Penny has and aren't wasting her like they have for the majority of her return. I loved Tad and Julia's scene in the chapel and really like they are developing the Tad/Julia friendship. Its really sweet and I will agree with Steve, that little comment Tad made to Dixie about not wanting to lose her, foreshadowing of things to come. I am relieved they took Dixie in Tad's direction again. Putting her with Zach damn near destoryed the character for me!

Babe and Erica were fun as always but god why did Jeff have to come in? I hate him now almost as much as I hate his son. Josh I am sorry but he is dead to me now. STFU! His scenes with Kendall wanted me to smack him. I can't Believe Kendall is taking his B.S.

I know. I've long hated Josh and lately Jeff, and I couldn't stand Kendall today, either. Kendall has not been written well for a long time; imo, McT really has no clue who this character is. I'm still hopeful that the old fiery Kendall will return once McT is released and I'm optimistic that is will happen in April.

With Zarf's/Zoe's written in rather vigorous pursuit of Bianca, I'd call it sick in the extreme, considering her history. Wouldn't surprise me...but think about it. Jeez.

McTravesty prides herself and pats herself on the back publicly for *insight* into and love of the Kane Women. I think she knows nothing but to destroy them. It's kind of like HoBabe, be very very afraid should she love you. Be very very afraid should McT get inspired to write for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why would Zarf/Zoe have pics of Zach's mom from a magazine that would have to be 30 years old or something. Was it a sketch or a mag photo of Amelia? I must have missed something here, help?

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
