OK, so aside from the Cheatin Heart and Kayla-Pocket stuff this was a filler episode and a half. LOL at the TRIPLE flashback that Phillip had over Lauren. Don't think I've ever seen that before on DOOL.

The EJ/Sami/Lucas stuff was just odd. EJ and Sami were back at the pub again yet they were wearing different clothes and now Lucas is there and it felt like we came into their talk mid-conversation. Doesn't anyone have a home any more? I mean I get that it seems like EJ may be developing alcoholism as he always has a drink in his hand now so it makes sense for him to be at the bar again, but Sami? When was the last time we saw her apartment? I wonder if they got rid of that set? And what's up with Sami and EJ wearing different clothes yet it's still the same day in the Phillip-Belle-Billie-Shawn scenes. Did we miss something? I did like the EJ interjections sticking up for Sami though as Lucas and Sami had the same argument for the 99th time as at least that added a little variety to the scene. "No one makes me do what I don't want to do." Oh really, Sami? So are you saying that EJ has never made you do what you didn't want to do? Never FORCED you to do something you didn't want to do? Are we back to Dec. 29 was a bargain and not rape then DOOL writers? Damn this show sends out mixed messages like nobody's business.

Today I finally decided it's annoying that Kate is doing nothing for Phillip in regards to Tyler. Have Phillip and Kate ever talked about it? I mean I know having Kate and Phillip interact would remind viewers that Kate doesn't actually have to whore herself out to Stefano because if she was in trouble Phillip could just float her some cash, but where the hell is she? And it's sad that the only story Billie can have is supporting the Shellip triangle. Ugh. LOL at Belle of all people getting the Salem brain today and figuring out that Lauren abandons baby at the hospital + Pocket = Tyler.

The Hope and Kayla stuff was good. Enjoyed the Frankie mention. Michael from AW, where the hell have you been?

Shock of all shocks I actually liked the Cheatin Heart stuff (other than Stephanie not being there for her mom at all as she deals with Benjy dead, Steve in jail and now apparently Pocket being taken away) but why did they have to give the new guy the name FORD DECKER?! Where do they come up with these names? I hate him on sight just because apparently the guy is nothing more than some inside joke from a "Blade Runner" fan. And they needed to have a bachelor's auction and Chelsea didn't call Jett? So they are going to have a shirtless guy scene and not incorporate Marcus Patrick into it when as far as I can tell it was his body that was the only reason that he was hired? BTW, where's Nick? Now that Chelsea and Stephanie are in a sorority are they not allowed to hang out with him? But damn I can deal with that because Chelsea's weird crying rant was actually interesting to me and Darin Brooks is a SEXY boy and I had a lot of fun watching him in this scene. Yay for shirtless men on Days and I can dig scenes with Chelsea, Stephanie and Max interacting with each other.

Wasn't sure if Hogan Sheffer could show any more contempt for the Catholic church than with his Santeen story (corrupt priest, busybody sister, weak and unstable novice who committed suicide but was given a plaque in a church after her death?), but with that quickie annulment Stefano bought? Wow. Brazen. Not that I am even Catholic or a big supporter of organized religion or anything, but if I was I could see these stories turning me off right off the bat with their anti-church slant. And when did Stefano get that motorized wheelchair? I liked his pimp cane better.

Overall a C+ episode, I'm just ready to get to the meaty stuff later in the week already.

I really liked the sorority storyline today. LOL I thought it was fun. Did you see that look Steph gave to Morgan at the end? Catfight!! :lol:

This Pocket/Phillip storyline is interesting too. Tomorrow's previews looked really good with Philip/Steve/Kayla.

The word "vendetta" is annoying the heck out of me. It has been used for months, lets go back to calling it feud or something other than vendetta. I know it is a vendetta but still it can be called other things for just something different.

Nice seeing Billie but the show all around seems kind of boring today though the younger set is interesting.

Yeah I like the casting of Morgan and the other girls so far. I don't know what to make of the new Ford Decker guy, because like I said, I can't get past the awful name, but that sorority scene was something fun even if a little frivolous. It was just nice to have a break from Days of our Deaths and Days of our VENDETTAS to see people on this show having fun again.

I am so tired of this Lucas/Sami/EJ drama.

It's been going on for about a year, and Sami and EJ have been tiptoeing around for over a year. I didn't want the relationship to be jumped into, I am not even an EJami fan necessarily because EJ raped her, but my goodness I don't care who she chooses I just want this triangle to end.

The Steve/Kayla/Pocket storyline definetly kicked into a new gear now that Philip KNOWS that Pocket is his son and will taking the baby away from Kayla & Steve.

I like that DAYS intertwined these two stories and it certainly is a nice retreat from some of the others storylines (that aren't bad IMO, just nice to have something else).

Mary Beth was the MVP of the episode today.

Loved yesterday's Hope/Sami and Tony/EJ scenes. Also loved Lauren's death and the way it was handled.

Great seeing Billie and I love that the Pocket story is moving so fast. Glad Philip knows.

MBE was awesome today and good seeing Hope supporting her. That CPS lady is annoying.

The Pub scenes were ok but the same old go round. Good seeing Stefano again and the ending wasn't bad.

The Cheatin Heart stuff was actually good. I just love seeing Max, Chelsea, and Stephanie interacting and this story suits them because it's realistic and age-appropriate. The Ford Decker guy was not at all like I expected. I was expecting him to be stuck up and very much like Jeremy. I kind of like him. I also like the sorority girls. This story is a nice lighthearted story. I kind of hope they go further with the hazing though because this does have potential.

Today Show was amazing especially the Sorority Scene. I loved every scene with Max/Stephanie/Chelsea in it because Darin, Shelley and Rachel work great in scenes together and all have like friendship chemistry. I always enjoy scenes with them. OMG DID YOU SEE THE LOOK STEPHANIE GAVE TO MORGAN, one word i have to say Catfight. I am loving Shelley Hennig as Stephanie, she is doing a great job. I could get behind a rivalry of Stephanie vs Morgan. I actually do like Morgan, i kinda do like Cordi too but I like Morgan more. The actress in very pretty and pretty good but no where as good as Rachel Melvin or Shelley Hennig.

I got one question, are those guys gay. They did not want to get up on that stage, If it was me, i would have gotten up on that stage and waited to be auctioned off, i prefer Stephanie Johnson lol.

I am actually loving this sorority storyline, it is the only part that is interesting me. I wonder where Hogan Sheffer is going with this. I think it is a way to get Stephanie and Max together. I would love to see a love triangle with Morgan/Max/Stephanie.

I do like Ford Decker, i think the actor is pretty good but Hogan Sheffer sucks at giving new people names

The rest of the show did nothing for me, no offense to Ali, James and Bryan but everything is about Sami/Lucas/EJ. Sheffer got to stop playing favs and give them a day or 2 off.

another thing, WHERE IS NICK?

But again, wow that look Stephanie gave Morgan when she put 500 dollars out on Max. She was like speechless from the beginning with her jaw dropping alittle and then gave Morgan this look. Shelley did a great job with the facial expresson. I love her so much.

Chelsea and her crying, i just wanted to jump through the tv screen and comfort her. Did i say, I love Morgan. She is HOT HOT HOT, almost as Hot then Stephanie and Chelsea but not completely.

I found the show very enjoyable. Mary Beth Evans has really come into her own as Kayla. I have said this before, but I think it took her awhile to remember who Kayla was. But she brings such heart, and such goodness to the role, I can't help but believe everything she feels. I love Dee Hall and Marlen and her campy acting, but their is is a soulfulness that Mary Beth brings to the role, that I think is only rivaled by the way Genie Francis played Laura on GH. I also really enjoy the interaction between Max, Stephanie, and Chelsea, and wouldn't mind if Nick wasn't involved anymore at all. And Max was looking hot today, obviously working out.

Looking forward to the Philip, Steve, and Kayla scenes. I hope somehow Billie's brief past with Steve comes out with this, maybe Steve plays on Billie's emotions, so she can convince Philip to let them keep the kid. Somehow, Tyler represents Steve and Kayla's second chance, and I wonder if losing him, would tear them apart.

And I loved when Sami reminded Lucas that she may be a little tamer, but she is still deep down, the same Sami Brady! I'm starting to like Lucas again and the actor, but I just feel the chemistry between Sami and EJ is so strong, that it has to be explored. And it's time for Lucas to have a viable love interest as well; Carrie and Nicole never counted. I would like see Bryan have the same chance to create sparks with someone else, like Alison has.

I only caught the last act of today's show. I'm going to start taping, especially the rest of this week.

But I can talk about what I did see.

I can't get over how much the character of Lucas has matured in such a short time. It can't be the writing for Lucas because it's the same stuff. I think Ed Scott and the directors have set Bryan Dattilo down and told him how to deliver his lines. He no longer sounds like a punk. He sounds like someone's actual adult husband. His selfishness is still there, but he is now a man, and not a boy any longer. I can now believe it when Lucas tells Kate that he is through with her and on his own.

I loved the music they used for the ending. It's nothing new, but they're finally putting the music that they have in the right place. Before, this track would be used just randomly in a scene and it didn't fit. Today, it fit in well with the scene and proved to be a great ending scene track. Thank God for the incline in the techinical department!

I don't mind the sorority stuff at all. I think it has to do with the there only being 3 of the younger cast members being involved in the storyline. It doesn't make it seem that bad as it Touch the Sky was. Ford Decker is nothing like I expected him to be. I'm not a fan. I do like the sorority sisters though, especially Morgan. Hell, I'd take any female paired with Max, rather than Chelsea or Stephanie.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
