Maybe if there had been a good close up or two -
I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek. Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show? -
Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that? I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about? Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true. And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it. As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta. -

Oooo. I like the current actress, but that's a pretty great choice. -
And you would be correct re: Damian. I've said the same. And Bonus...he had a story with twists. So I for one got annoyed, but cautious when the Dumas twist happened because it immediately felt like the best current story going on on the canvas was about to be hijack. And...looks like I was right.

Ironically, Eddie, realizing that Felicia can’t paint at home, has been looking for a studio for her, and happened to be inspecting this very studio, only to learn that Mrs. Lamont had already rented it. Felicia explains to Di that she is afraid to tell Charles about the studio, as he instantly assumes that when she’s not with him she’s with Eddie. At Di’s suggestion, Felicia arranges a dinner party with the Sterlings, in the hope that telling Charles in the presence of others will allow it to be discussed calmly. But Charles voices his fury anyway, saying that it sounds like a perfect love nest..

He refuses to believe that Felicia didn’t tell Eddie, and rides her mercilessly.

Charles immediately calls at Eddie’s for her and is surprised that she’s not there. But his call worries Eddie, who goes to her studio to see if she’s there. He finds her about to drive to Maine, to her Aunt Mavis’s home. Felicia is touched by Eddie’s suggestion that he accompany her for her safety, but assures him she’ll be fine.

Felicia finally tells him of her early father fixation and admits that she’s still a virgin, unable to have a physical relationship with a man. To her relief, he understands and sympathizes, and she agrees to try to make love with him.

Betsy has made strides toward establishing a life for herself and her daughter by renting an apartment, making arrangements for a mother’s helper, and asking Jamie for her old job back. Jamie assures her it’s available and ‘takes her to dinner. Betsy is annoyed when Meg stops by just as she’s returning home with Jamie, and she tells Meg she won’t stand for her checking up on her. Ben has been having problems ever since his prisonmates discovered he’s in for bigamy. This “pretty boy” offense makes him a susceptible target for advances and sadistic treatment. Duke and Pearson, the chief instigators, are pleased when Ben takes punishment and threats without squealing, but they decide to continue the treatment rather than let up. On the night they decide to teach Ben what it’s really all about, he fights both of them, but tires and is on the floor under their knife when fire breaks out. Solly, the guard, starts to release the prisoners from their cells but is overcome by smoke. Ben rescues him, then returns to rescue the remaining prisoners, including Duke.

Meg finally leaves, and Betsy comes in, bringing Ben a picture of their daughter. She tells him of her recent plans. When Ben asks if she’ll visit again, she hesitates, not wanting to make any commitments. The warden tells Ben he’s putting him up for parole, and Solly thanks Ben for saving his life, offering his hope that the parole comes through. Learning of this possibility, Meg asks Bruce to intercede as mayor, and he refuses. She replies she expected that and already offered one of the prison-board members a contribution for a favorable report. Van’s horror at this is echoed by. the warden, who tells Ben that his mother’s attempt to bribe the board could cost him his parole.But the board doesn’t hold this against Ben, and his parole is granted. -
