Another great episode... Meg Kelly had another script? Interesting.

Is there a villain in daytime more delicious than Andre DiMera these days? I simply can't believe there is. Although, I'm wondering when he got so pervy. I mean I'm glad he's given up the non-fatal bomb racket but in the hospital the other day he was all up on Sami and then today he kissed Kate and while I did think those things worked, another part of me is gritting my teeth at more misogyny and sexual harassment under Hogan Sheffer. Although that is unfortunately a common occurence in Meg Kelly's scripts though so maybe it was her doing more than Sheffer. In any event, the bit about Andre taunting Kate about getting Roman's life insurance policy... awesome! Didn't see that coming.

Love the funeral. Awesome that Hope knew right away that Bo was lying and it was good to see John and Marlena again. Though I don't really care about John much any more (congrats Hogan, you won this round) when it comes to Marlena and me I really do think absence makes the heart grow fonder. I adore Jim Lunsford and I enjoy the Benjy-Lexie chemistry. Now that said, where the hell is Celeste?!?! I want me some Tanya Boyd!!! Did they give Lexie some throwaway line where she said that she was watching Theo and I missed it? Is Celeste hiding out to avoid the DiMera wrath for her phony voodoo paternity test? And can someone tell me if anyone who was attending that funeral actually thought it was real besides OMB? Cause I couldn't think of anyone else who believed it. LOL.

As much as I enjoy both EJami and Santeen and am eating up every delectable morsel of it, even I have to admit they are kind of being heavyhanded with the fate/destiny crap. Fans of EJami and Santeen already had this in mind without the show telling them it was so while EJami and Santeen haters aren't going to be convinced by being bludgeoned to death by the words, but probably just hate them all more feeling like the show is dictating it to them, so I think the DOOL writers can quit now. We get it. EJ and Sami are star-cross'd lovers just like Santo and Colleen. Understood. I have no problem with EJ and Sami continuing to dissect the Santo and Colleen relationship and extrapolating on what it means for them, mind you. I just would fully support them delving a little deeper than... it was fate/destiny... just like us. Oh but EJ winked at Sami when he left. That was cute. And Lucas isn't yelling... much. The quiet rage thing when Lucas gives Sami the third degree is such a better acting choice for BD. And I don't blame Lucas one bit for being suspicious even I still think if it is pretty insensitive for him to throw that rape line in her face that way when the whole thing only happened because Sami was so desperate to save HIS life. At least it's in character and at least now when he's being a prick to Sami, he's right about her. Because it is about more than ending the vendetta.

Also, is Sami ever going to be released from the hospital? EJ got ELECTROCUTED and almost died yet he has been out of the hospital like one or two days already while Sami was just dehydrated and she's still there? And Lucas still has no job and hasn't ever looked for one. Who is paying these bills when the two of them have no health insurance. Since they're not explaining this I'll just imagine that EJ is paying them and I think that's nice of him. ;)

Belle if you're so damn cold your lips are blue and you're shivering, zip up your sweater already! At least we weren't subjected to hypothermia Shelle conception though.

Finally, now that Passions is gone when the hell am I going to get to see the new DOOL promo for next week? Do I have to wait until it's posted online? Grrrr.

Good episode, although I tried to watch it live and was interrupted about 5 times, which really wrecks the flow. Andre is so wonderfully, deliciously, thrillingly creepy! And like all good villains, you can't keep him down, no matter how many times he's punched or had bottles broken over his head.

I loved the intensity during the fake funeral scenes. Each character has their own little mini drama going on, which serves to add layer upon layer to the overall drama. Wonderful buildup; I can't wait until everything begins unraveling next week.

Very nice how Sami echoed Colleen's words when she told EJ to leave because she couldn't think when he was there...and then he repeated Santo's words back to her. A subtle reminder of how their lives parallel. See, writers, we pick up on this stuff; you don't need to keep pounding us over the head with the "fate" discussions!

    • 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?
    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • 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. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.
