Ok, so today's show was actually pretty good and not boring at all. I really liked the Craig/Lucinda/Alison/Paul/Emily/Meg stuff and we atleast finally got somewhere with the storyline, it was also nice seeing Paul and Emily in scenes together, I may have not been there biggest fan, but atleast they had some interaction. The Brad/Katie/Jack/Crazy Woman stuff was also pretty good today, I enjoyed the little house cleaning thing they had going on today. Previews also look good for Tuesday's show.

Necessary Preface: It is OKAY if you did not like the episode. I am NOT trying to force you to enjoy the show. I do understand that people will NOT agree with me and that is FINE by me.

Okay now that thats out of the way onward to my thoughts. I must say I really enjoyed todays episode. Katie and Brad were really cute. Brad's confession at the end definitely made me say, "AWWWWW!" He really cares about Katie and I love it. Jack's little pissy mood at the end was classic and hysterical. Especially after the funny convo between him and Brad.

Paul and Emily were a hot mess as usual. Such a disaster couple. I can't blame Paul for thinking Emily is just jealous and paranoid since he doesn't know the whole truth. Plus given Emily's over the top reactions to all his decisions in the last few years I'd be afraid to tell her about the plan against Craig as well. On the other hand Emily was just as strong and reasonable in those scenes as well. She doesn't trust Paul and who can blame her. They had some nice scenes but they just reminded me of how much I enjoy Paul and Meg together as opposed to Paul and Emily.

Craig and Meg were cool today. Loved their scenes. Is Meg changing the plan!? This girl is truly stupid if shes screwing up Paul's plan. And was it just me or did the camera focus in on her chest? I thought I saw a wire there...

Overall a very strong episode and I look forward to tomorrow. And I truly do look forward to reading other peoples comments and discussing what they liked or didn't like.

I loved the interaction today in the Craig gaslighting storyline. Scott Bryce has eased in to the role of Craig seamlessly. I loved everybody involved.This is a good storyline.

My opinion, the Jack/Katie/Brad stuff was ehhhh. It was not needed and felt so out of place in an otherwise good show. What do I know?That is just my opinion.

LOL...the Brad/Katie/winners stuff was unwatchable! OMG...y'know, if you advertise something as "watch Brad and Katie clean your home..." don't you think they'd actually make it a challenge? Or show them actually cleaning? *rolleyes* Witty banter as Brad plays video games. OH, the brillance.....

However, it did put a smile on my face to see how little time it took Ms.HotPantsPeretti to get past her "disappointment" that Jack was "rude". Two minutes and some ass-kissing later, she's ready to mack up on Brad.

The Craig et. al. stuff was pretty good. I like that Craig isn't just totally buying this set up, and finally Paul/Em and mention their child. (Emily should have quizzed Paul on if he remembered his daughter's name.)

And WHEN are TIIC going to learn how to tease tomorrow's show without giving away what actually happens? IDIOTS!!

Brad and Katie cleaning someone's house?? LMAO. That was bad.

Happy to see Heather Lindell again. I know she'll make Brad/Katie/Jack interesting in the next episode. LOL

I totally agree Scott is doing fantastic already, it is like he never even left the role, I was not watching back then, but you can just feel that he is just moving right in an owning Craig again. I also agree that this storyline is very good, it is so great seeing so much of Lucinda.

I'm a happy girl!

"I still know you better than anyone else on the planet..."

:)

Of course, the deliberate vagueness in truth telling on both of Paul/Emily parts was simply to get Dusty to be Ali's hero I think...but hey, if it gets his focus off Emily, I'll live with it.

And a Jenny mention! YAY!

Lynn, forget Brad. Please kill Katie!

Great scenes with Craig today. I'm hoping Alison will flip on them and sell her secrets to Craig.

I'm so sick of Meg and her 15 years too soon midlife crisis. She needs to find a way to go back to nursing. And I'm just disgusted by her supposed superiority. Her and Paul's smugness towards Craig pisses me off. I hope he catches a clue ASAP!

Lucinda has been annoying me the past few days. I can't put my finger on it... she just... bugs.

I liked that the contest winner was woven into the actual show instead of showing a segment during commercial. I wasn't AS bad as I expected it to be.

You know, I actually think they may have foreshadowed that last week in a scene between Paul, Lucinda and Ali - they were talking about if there was anything Craig could get on Ali, and Lucinda wondered if Ali could be trusted not to run to Craig, etc.

I remember watching and thinking that is what could happen.

    • Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN. 
    • Oooooooooooooo a Jazmen script off of a Sara Bibel breakdown.    I'm intrigued. Lol. Yeah, one thing I can say for sure...when SilkPress is about to have a crazy moment, they do give her music. 
    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
