Now that would have been awesome.

As written, the whole scene was just ridiculous, and the tortured Marrrr.... lena.... sounded like a Scooby Doo ghost. I all made me cringe.

I thought MM was great again today. And the Bonnie/Connor stuff was more amusing than I expected it to be.

Darin is hot (especially with his shirt off) and I wish I could get into Max & Mimi but I just can't work up any interest. Somehow I don't buy them together. When Max said he trusted her, my reaction was "why?"

All in all a pretty blah episode.

ITA about Shawn and Belle, haha. For some of the same reason. ;)

I've been wondering the same thing about Marlena. I can't at all figure out why in the world Maggie hasnt been there to support Marlena. They used to have such a great friendship, and of all people I would think Maggie would be there to comfort Marlena through this. I dont see a reason why Maggie wouldnt be there.....and for all the other good use of history Hogan and his team have done, I'm surprised we havent seen this.

Yeah... I mean, where are Marlena's friends? Hope's there, which is great, but... she just had a baby, she should be able to just spend time with the newborn. Where are the Bradys that kept saying J&M were family? The time comes when they need them and they're nowhere to be found. Marlena almost died saving their Kayla's life, John's now possibly being taken off life support, so she could use some support and they are... just living their lives normally?

That whisper was painful. And not in the good way as in it was painful to watch the pain Marlena's going through. That whisper just made it a cringeworthy scene. They should have just let DH do what she does better than anyone in the business, which is emotion. Let Marlena sit there, go through a photo album and cry her beautiful eyes out. That's your next frickin' Emmy right there Sheffer. The woman is nothing if not the best crier in daytime.

Dr. Bader and Kate are Marlena's friends. Wonder what is happening with Dr. Bader and why Kate isn't with Marlena. Maybe Hogan dropped their friendship. At any rate, expect all the John/Marlena scenes to be cheesy. The very idea of John coming in a breeze through the balcony doors even knocking over a vase. What actually happened was Marlena dreamed it and knocked the vase over when she got up to go the balcony (best guess).

Laughed so at Bonnie today. I don't like her character but from time to time she is brilliant with a comic scene. I loved Connor today as it showed me he has feelings, personality, and intelligence. He could be a diamond in the rough.

MM as Belle grabbed my heart and twisted it around her little finger. She is too good an actress to be in this ridiculous story as lamebrain Belle. Don't expect to see explicit sex if MM is in the picture. She has never and I expect never will.

I didn't like Max and Mimi today. It started to feel forced to me. Especially hated Shawn and Mimi scenes.

Tomorrow sounds like a good end to the week.

My first impression of Conner was relatively negative. I didn't really have any preconcieved thoughts of what the actor should be like, but I surely didn't anticipate a cowboy. I'm starting to like him a little more after today. He's a funny guy ... no one can classify him as not being Bonnie's son, lol.

Jinxed Soul, I was just enjoying your picture of Claire and thinking how much she has grown. What a delightful little girl/s and now she has longer hair and looks like a little toddler. I hope we get to see her walk around soon and go talk to someone LOL....she does reach out and say da da.

Judi Evans stole the show today..her scenes were absolutely hillarious...Hogan writes bonnie so well, and i love that he is finally giving her a storyline...And connor is a great addition..he was brought on and he is actually serving a purpose...

Max and Mimi were pretty hot, and i enjoyed shawn interrupting them..Oh and Darrin Brooks looked so damm hot with his shirt off..

Martha was great today...i didn't really enjoy the marlena scenes...and i agree the voice over was lame..I watched it at the bar i work at with closed captioning..and the voice over looked so lame in writing...

LMAO! I can't agree with you guys anymore, but y'all are piss in my pants hilarious.

Speaking of "y'all"-ing, Connor and Bonnie are just f-ing AMAZING! These two are hilarious. HAHAHAHA. I'm so sad JEL is leaving though. Damn it.

Is it? I thought maybe it was Shawn/Mimi/Rex's old loft since Shawn found new one. But, it definitely looks familiar or like a tweaked former set.

The apartment Max and Mimi were in was Shimi and Rex's old place I think. I did like Max/Mimi though but only because of Darin. FF I tolerate.

Bonnie and Connor were great. I am loving Connor and loved Bonnie on the slab with the shoes. That nurse was funny when she got creeped out and left. Loved the Bonnie/Connor mother and son con team :lol: .

Martha was great today and I enjoyed her scene fighting with the doctor and, later, being with Shawn.

Marlena/Roman was ok but I am not as upset about the Marlena/John stuff is others. The voiceover sucked but I thought Dee was fine. I could've done without the windows opening but it could've been the wind or something as we know from Bonnie and Connor's scenes that it was cold and a bit windy. Marlena may have been feeling so strongly about John being there with them still and feeling his presence that the terrace window opening only enhanced it and maybe she was just hallucinating and hearing the voice because that is what she wants to hear and feel. I know Dee said it's really him but I think Marlena thinks it's only him when, in reality, it's nothing but her mind playing tricks on her because she wants to beleive so strongly it's true. Maybe that is why I wasn't too upset with it as that is the way I went about viewing the scene. It wasn't what it should've been but it depends on how you take it.

Not a bad show. Tomarrow and Monday looks good.

I disagree.

Gone are the days of the past whenever characters only interact because they were in story together or going to be played in story together. I think that those Roman/Marlena scenes were nothing more than a sensible interaction. It's not going anyplace, IMO.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.)
    • 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.
