Alicia and Thorsten are cracking me up today. I'm loving Mr. and Mrs. Sonny Suarez in Las Vegas!

I still can't get over how much Bobbie Eakes looks like Alexa/Babe today...even though most people don't like their characters around here, this is one of the best mother/daughter casting decisions ever made on a soap.

Babe doesn't realize where she is or what's been going on. She'll flip when she knows that Krystal and Little A thinks she's dead and Josh is hiding her from them. But it'll probably only take a day or two before she forgives Josh...blah.

Glad Bianca found Zoe.

Ok well Derek is a jerk - I understand that he's focused on finding the Satin Slayer, but the least he could do is get someone on the staff to get on this case.

EDIT: WHOA, so thank you Bianca for bringing up Terrence Frye and the entire Hate Crime story of the early 90's! And how dare Derek say that he was born black, but gays and TG's aren't born that way and they shouldn't be given the same treatment/concern as Terrence was back in the day. I'm glad this was all brought up though, as it's a relevant social issue, but I'm sure we're only going to get this 1-2 scenes about it and that's all.

Ok so there are major 'forgive JR and be sad for him' scenes, just as Zoe tells everyone that JR left her for dead...so now we're supposed to be torn on whether to hate or feel sorry for JR, just as the characters on the show are torn.

The Cambias funeral/graveyard set - hmmm, looks just the Pine Valley park and funeral sets. ;)

Eden, Alexa and Bobbie were riverting to watch today. Loved when Bianca went off on Derek. I think she could have been alitte more fierce thou. She seemed to calm to me for the tone of those scenes. I wanted to see her go off on someone completely. Eden had alot of room there but she choose to down play her anger more or less. I think the scene would have been stronger if she reacted stronger. It seemed like she was just scowleding Derek for eating too many donuts not about Derek's bias against Trasngenders and Gays.

I love Babe/Josh but even I thought Josh went to far with the whole deciet thing. I understand they want to make sure she is safe from the serial killer and I understand that he wants to keep her safe and calm and he wants her healed so I can understand. But he better tell her the truth as soon as she gets better. Hopefully Babe won't be too mad he did after all save her life.

Jacob did an okay job today. I liked the last scenes. I almost felt sorry for him and then I remembered what an [!@#$%^&*] he truely is for leaving Zoe in the bushes and telling her those menacing things. He can go to hell. I hope Bianca does a better job chewing JR out then she did with Derek.

Zendell was boring to me. But I did catch the first scenes. I think Minshew does great with comedy she reminds me of Debra Messing

Uh no not hardly, nothing like anything Greenlee and Ryan would do, cause for one Ryan couldn't pull anything like this off and as much as I like Greenlee in no way could I ever see her pulling off being a gangster's wife.

It was very Luke and Laura-ish

Pine Charles watch it and judge for yourself ;)

Enjoyed the Sonny and Carla Suarez stuff (tsk, shout out to Sonny and Carly...I'll look past that). AM was working that accent, attitude. I was disappointed the accent didn't carry on while she was talking with the nurse, sigh. It was fun, it reminded me of classic building-a-supercouple adventure stuff, not contrived Ryan/Greenlee butterfly/cocoon stuff *shudders* at the memory of Rylee.

Jacob Young did a really good job with his scenes even though I just really don't care (been there, done that and I'm sure I'll say this 4 more times before the year is over in the circle of Jabe), but the Krystal/JR scenes came off like potential lovers having a discussion a little too often, AND it was the writing more than the acting. Is Bettina B. back? She has to be back, I haven't heard such "romantic" dialouge between inappropriate characters since Bettina.

Babe/Josh, been there, done that - him psuedo stalkerish, her psuedo-leading him on. I mean it has it's sweet moments, but eh... Can't they just write this in a non-fluffing (Babe), non-hacking (switches between JR and Josh, but mostly JR), non-stalking (Josh), non-repetitive (everything) way. Can't they try? Sigh.

Zach piecing it together through Babe's faked death, contrived...but good work by Thorsten nontheless. You can see him starting to drown in the demons of his past again - the pulling away stuff and all.

The thing about Bianca bringing up Terrence is it would have had more impact with somebody who wasn't 5-6 at the time and was barely in town. Jack could have said it. Livia! Well Livia is out of luck in the recurring character exchange program. Maybe it should have gone: "I remember Livia telling me...," not the indignant "I was there and you blah, blah" (she didn't literall sya that, but she was syaing it as if she was there). But otherwise, good stuff, the story has to have some not-so-understanding characters for the dramatic effect. I wonder if Bianca is going to bitch-slap JR.

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
