Mine too! Hmmm... I'm in Illinois.

Anyway, I did get to see it an hour earlier on another affiliate.

Not a lot of action but major movement in storylines.

Shawn knows Willow is dead and they are doing another DNA test to determine if the baby was his. Very nice of Bo and Hope to say they would pay for a service for Willow. But then Shawn stated he would pay for it. Just how does he plan to do that.

Doug has the key to his old place and Doug, Julie and Bope are going to the tunnels in just "hours".

Bo, HOpe, Shawn and Ciara had some really cute moments. Like a real family.

Lucas is being demanding with Sami, he is concerned about her. Hope thinks that he should give her a break. Interesting. Lucas mentioning Colleen in front of Bo, Julie, and Doug was funny because they all just stood there with their mouths open then it cut to commercial.

Phelle talked to a man that saw a woman disguised with a baby that looks like Claire. He said there was a USAdorbale sticker on the woman's bag and when they goggle it, Phelle find out it is a pagent and it's in Chicago, they are off on a trip. It was interesting that Belle said she felt safe at Philips home. She said considering what was going on just months ago.

I really expected Shelle to be overjoyed that Willow was dead. I am really glad it was not written that way.

I really hated the flashbacks to Sami and EJ in the ambulance. How many times are we going to see that. They aired it Wednesday, started the show with it Thursday, and flashbacked today. They also flashbacked to Bo asking Shawn Sr about Colleen. Are we reliving Chelsea hitting Zach all over again. :rolleyes:

LOVED the Hope/Lucas scene. Someone needed to tell him to cool it. But then he just screams again. Oy. I get he's frustrated, but come on. There are other ways for him to react. Come on Hoagie, he didn't react typically at the wedding reception. Don't have him acting typically now! It's not interesting.

The flashbacks were a major oy. Unneccessary to the nth degree.

It was nice to see Sami make it clear how much she doens't trust EJ. This makes their scenes all the more interesting. Someone else said once, but their banter reminds me of Tony and Anna.

Nixsoaps, pretty sure we have the same NBC affiliate. LOL.

Thankfully the show is back on. Bo's flashback after Lucas mentioned Colleen was annoying. For one thing, it wasn't necessary. We the viewers know who Colleen is, and if we didn't we would have found out after the commercial, plus I'm pretty sure the scene that played out in the flashback was not the same one we saw when Bo asking Shawn about Colleen actually happened. So annoying.

"Whatever you do, don't let Sami get wind of this" What a jerk. Even if as he was saying it apparently Lucas finally learned how to use his inside voice now that he's not around Sami. Yay for Hope sticking up for Sami, again.

Online baby beauty pageant? WTF? Is it sponsored by NAMBLA or some To Catch a Predator sting?

Great EJ-Sami stuff as always. I love how they each know exactly what to do to get under the other one's skin and her being all pissed, then running after him and him strolling back in with the wheelchair and her even more pissed and him just putting his hands on her shoulders was hilarious.

The end note with Lucas was OK. But I REALLY wanted him to smash something because we got all that smashing yesterday and all I could think of when he was reading it was that Sex and the City episode where Berger leaves Carrie the Post-It note breakup and Carrie's response is to knock over the vase of carnations.

This was kind of a snoozer for a Friday cliffhanger IMO compared to the other action packed, emotionally charged stuff we've had recently, but I forgive them because the show has been so good otherwise lately and I can see they are setting up more action and drama ahead.

Yuk. Pre-emption for tennis. I'll try to catch it at 1 or 2 in the morning, but if it isn't on, at least, I've enjoyed reading your input here.

I want Phelle together, too and for Claire to be Philip's biological child the way it should be as well.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
