What??? Where is everyone today???

First off...why ruin Vienna by making her another history-rewriting Friend of Fluffy? Carly stole Katie's ex, Simon, from her, so Katie should gird her loins and fight for Jack? Newsflash: Katie was MARRIED to Mike at the time of the Simon/Carly relationship!! Is this the same Vienna that was cozying up to Mike while he was separated from Fluff? Not to mention dry-humping Jack, Brad, and just about any man she came in contact with? And Katie hasn't even jumped Jack yet, and she's got him fitted for a choke collar. "whatever Carly asked...don't do it"??? Obviously Katie has Jack confuzzled with Mike, her lapdog husband, who would even bring up "unpleasant" subjects like Katie's obsession with sex and her ex-husband.

Emily needs a reality check. It's bad enough Susan is delusional about sticking her nose into her daughter's relationship (OMG...how many men has Em gone through...and that's not even counting her month as a hooker..) and comes up with the thought Emily is into "relationships", not just "sex for sex's sake" ONS. But why would Dusty not being interested in her after their past, be a surprise to her?

*sniff*...Jack, if you'd listen to Carly, she clearly said..."he (Simon) loves me." NOT..."I love Simon." They are not the same thing.

Lucinda was great. I don't get where Meggie gets the nerve to stand up to La Walsh. And what did she think she was doing, jabbing something into Craig's stomach?

I thought the show was kind of choppy today. Did we really need Brad in for two scenes? Or Vienna for one? It barely seemed like Carjack was on, but there was way too much Meg.

And it was hilarious watching the day player paramedic trying to get that oxygen mask on Craig. I guess he's got a really odd-shaped melon! LOL.

Yeah, where is everyone today?

My favorite favorite scenes today were with Susan. We even got to see her at the hospital, and also she is right about Emily.

Lucinda almost killed someone! That makes her no better than Craig. This kind of stuff is what made Lucy run off with Johnny when Dusty was at it. Of course Meg was in the right.

I liked Vienna with Katie, and the scenes with Brad. It felt like Vienna and Katie had become good friends after the Henry stuff so it made sense to me to see Vienna do what she did. By the way, is it just me, or has Austin Peck's acting improved dramatically? Like, wow, I am actually impressed with him. About the so-called choppiness, I think it actually is good, and shows that the show is organic and really feels set in Oakdale where anyone can pop up for long or short -- rather than the show just having one scene over the whole episode as on some other soaps.

Jack disgusted me with his typical smarmy judgmentalness and then having Carly lie. He was using the kids as a cover for his jealousy and toying with Carly's feelings to get her to prove to him that she and Simon were over. Brad actually nailed how Jack is acting exactly.

I don't see it as Carly lying about being coerced. Simon intimidated Carly into believing the loanshark was immediately coming after her and her kids (remember Simon trashing the model apartment, then standing back as Carly had a meltdown, thinking the loanshark had gone ballistic?) to force her into deciding to help him steal the jewels. That's coercion...maybe not legally, but Carly wouldn't have helped Simon steal under normal circumstances.

I don't think Jack was toying with Carly's feelings...but I think he was jealous and fed up at hearing her defend Simon for the umpteenth time. I don't blame him. That being said, Simon wouldn't have cared if Carly puts him on the hook to get herself off. I agreed with Jack, Simon knew that when he came up with his plan to return the jewels. If he wasn't, he would have just turned his pretty boy ass over to the authorities himself, and gotten Carly cleared.

Eh...I caught bits and pieces.

Lucinda seemed odd. I mean, it's like TPTB are writing her as careless and desperate. Or maybe that's the way I am interpreting it.

CarJack....Love them!

Where the hell is my Lily? She comes in for like 10 minutes one episode and then BAM! She's gone again. I need my MB fix. :(

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
