Oh, don't tease me. LOL Yes, this story would have been amazing if David were there. Imagine if he could have playe a part in saving one or both of the babies. Would Kendall have let him? Would anyone have wanted him near those kids? This could have been his way to make a mense to the Kane Women. The last time David saw one of them, Erica, he protected her and gave her an alibi, so the dynamics had shifted a little so it would have been sooooooo interesting.

Stupid AMC! :angry:

Like Thursday, the last half of today's episode - awesome! And I do really hate to say that on a CB day, it just feels like it's the wrong thing to do.

The episode was bang on from the moment Kendall almost detachedly signed those papers for Ian's heart surgery. Then that moment Kendall got confused about the babies (and even the way she corrected herself), it was like she seriously wasn't all there for a moment - dang, it was kind of heartbreaking. Really good stuff. Susan was great. Lish was great. I've never seen Erica be that motherly to Kendall, and she was so genuinely you know...scared and heartbroken. Mama bear Erica was especially jarring to see, in a good way, after months of Erica acting like a 13-year old.

Erica said the "G" word today, not about herself though, but might the "G" word about herself be near? LOL, probably not, but that's cool.

Zyrtle on the phone. Myrtle saying all the right things. Zach finally crying. Aww, the only thing that could have made it better was if EH was there. Oh also really loved the way he played the scene when he took Kendall to see the baby. Kendall insisted he tell her the baby would be alright and without much conviction (he didn't look her in the eye and he quickened the pace of his speech) he told her that and then couldn't get her out of the room fast enough - because he so wasn't sure (his optimism once again taking a dip) and he was about to crack. Sigh, good stuff.

Joe's talk to Erica. I don't pay much attention to RM/Joe scenes, so I might be somewhat "backwards" in saying that I think that one scene he had with Erica was the best scene he's done since I began watching the show again in 2003. I almost got teary eyed. I don't cry for soaps anymore (I do cry every now and again, but it's typically out of disappointment in the writing or during OLTL death scenes), so teary eyed is a big compliment. The last half of today's show had me teary eyed about 3-4 times.

The first half of Ryan's last scene (the part with Annie), I think that's the softest, most natural work I've seen him do in forever. He seemed genuinally grateful to Annie and Cam for a moment was almost perfect in delivery. At least, IMO.

Greenlee. I do blame her for the Spike stuff and I'm not giving her a free pass despite 40 minutes of subtle and slow crawling and flashbacks and all the tinkly music, but I don't hate her (but I hope they let Kendall hate her for a good long time). I don't blame Jack for standing by her so much, although I want to punch him occasionally, lol. I love that they're having Josh have a problem with what she did instead of him being ruled by his penis as usual, all the better for when/if the show decides to go there. Makes him less of a vacant male Fetus-whore and gives him and possibly Gosh more context.

I'm just glad they're using the tinkly music on someone other than Babe.

Anyway, I'm with you (and have been waiting for you to finish typing that post! Sheesh! :P ), and I don't give her a free pass. The accident is no one's fault but her own. But I don't hate her for it, either. I just hold her responsible.

Thanks!

He is breaking my heart because you can see he is having such a hard time facing the reality of what Greenlee has done and what resulted from it. When he saw that baby for the first time today it was all over his face and it just broke my heart. He always looks at Greenlee with such sadness but he shows her his love and sadly he is the one person that is in the middle of all of this and no matter what he does someone is going to be angry or hurt.

Angela, you just made me spit out my water :lol: If I have to be stuck with the fetus than I'd rather see him with Greenlee. I think CE/SS have good chemistry together.

B&E must be editing each episode heavily because despite Hayes & Bugler, that was another excellent, heartbreaking episode.

The Erica/Kendall scenes had me bawling like a baby.

I also loved Erica & Joe's scene. His speech reminded me of the good old Agnes Nixon/Wisner Washam days.

I've been feeling Ryan's pain for the past few episodes. When given meaty material, Cam does prove he can act instead of rant.

I'm with Cheap, et al. on Zach.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.

      Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any.
