Oh, did I ever, Danny. Wow. Okay, onto the nonaesthetic comments before I go crazy...

Great, action-packed show today. And best of all? No Chelsea/Nick/Max/Abby. We needed a successful break from them, IMO.

Shawn and Belle. Sigh. Their scenes today were very good. The elephant in the middle of the...beach that neither of them would talk about was finally addressed. They had it out, and now things are better. Honesty is such a concept.

Steve is nuts. Nichols is the most incredible actor in the world, LOL. Okay, I'm biased, but I've never seen him take it too far. Ok, maybe biting Bo was a little extreme (and scared the palooza out of me), but still. He's always portrayed to a T, without going overboard, exactly what Steve's going through. And I love it. I wonder if he'll start calling himself Patch again, as he gets deeper and deeper into his old habits, and this new insanity. Could we be getting the falling in love all over again story after all?

HOPE! I've missed her. Her scenes with Willow today were superb. Annie's growing on me in a very natural way suddenly (shuddup, DrewH :P). Today I could actually say Willow did not annoy me in the slightest. It seems she's starting to fit in. Who would have guessed (besides DrewH)? I still think Jed is positively useless, though I don't mind him with a brief interlude preceding MABBY. I did absolutely love seeing Hope play the bitch!card in a realistic situation. Kristian was phenomenal today. This part of her personality always seems to go missing until it's useful. Yay for Horton fire!

Basically, Willow never came across as a character before. She's been written as a caricarture. But today, she was written and portrayed as if she was actually part of the canvas, not a plot point. That made all the difference in the world, IMO.

Drew, you don't seem to be taking into account that people's opinions of the actress months ago are still valid. You "saw what no one else saw" back then (vomit); I say I like someone when they're good, not because of "potential." I do like Willow much, much more now, but I really didn't way back when. And your I-was-right-and-I'll-mention-it-every-moment-I-get attitude makes me want to hide it. No one like to be told they were "wrong," especially when they're not. You make being a Willow fan very hard.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

And no, I'm not being too sensitive.

So for the record: I'm not joining you. I have my own, different, unique Willow-love that isn't dirty and premature like yours. I've seen your love and it's ugly and unlike my own. So leave me out of your club. I ain't joinin' nuthin'!

Andre, just go cry or something. I don't have time for your comments...

Anywho, who else here loves the Hope/Willow scenes? Kristian Alfonso and Annie Burgstede definitely have that mother and baby's mother drama chemistry. You can tell Hope hates Willow's guts, but her grandchild is inside of the woman she hates and she has to feel some love for her. I love it! Real family drama in Salem? Get out of here!

    • 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.
