I enjoyed the show. It is amazing how much better the sami/lucas/ej story is with Marlena and Kate involved as well belle/shawn/phillip with Bo and Hope. I thought having Hope walk in on Belle was an awesome move. Looking forward to those scenes tomorrow.

On another note, I enjoy these DAys thread, but....... can we not block some people?????

A bit of hostility - not something I'm used to seeing here...

Anyway I liked Wed's show better than the others this week. Loved Phillip and Belle and seeing people making love instead of arrested development sex - or pre sex which it usually has been. Very nice camera work and JKJ and MM are very awesome together. Liked Shawn talking to Hope and gave her a shout out for keeping Shawn from going upstairs (interupted sex bothers me esp since it was the norm for Sami and EJ). Belle kicking over the vase even amused me, although I don't have a clue what the symbolism was - unless it was about her relationship with Shawn. If so, that works because BB and MM bore me to tears.

Which brings me to the lucas scenes - all of them: lucas with Sami; lucas ragging on Kate; lucas threatening EJ -- all hit me as lame and pathetic. Nothing new because that's how I view the character: an annoyance at best. With these two triangles I can honestly say that while I don't like Shawn and Belle together, none of the three irritate me or make me want to destroy the tv. With EJ. Sami and lucas, the only one I consistently like is EJ; and Sami can annoy me almost as much as lucas depending on how she's written on any given episode or even scene.

I'm actually looking a little forward to watching tomorrow.

I also gotta join in the Phelle love. Those two were hot together. I also love how layered Philip has been lately. JKJ is playing him so well. He makes Philip's love for Belle believable but Philip hasn't completely gotten rid of his bad side (ie. his scene with Shawn).

Shawn is getting on my nerves. I know a lot of people are intrigued by this triangle because Belle genuinely loves both men but Shawn reminds me of a teen boy who does nothing but whine whine whine. I did really enjoy the scene with Belle & Hope, though. This is going to be one interesting story.

I know I'm late but good show.

Phelle were hot and I am really enjoying this triangle, especially now with all this drama. Hope and Shawn's talk was nice and liked the end scene with Philip and Shawn's showdown. Martha was great again today and I love how Hope put the pieces together. Great scene. Nice seeing Ciara too. She looked adorable!

Marlena slapping EJ was priceless. Dee is on fire and I loved seeing Kate's reactions. I also like EJ being surprised she would do that. The Lumi scenes with the baby were cute. I enjoyed Marlena/Sami again too and I also like the setup to what appears to be a "who tried to kill" EJ story. Seeing all the threats on his life today with special emphasis places on witnesses that are around was pretty cool. I always like stuff like that and I'm glad this story is getting somewhere...finally!!!

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
