Awesome picture of Dee!

I loved the show today - everything but the stuff lucas said to Billie. At this point I'm not sure where the character is headed... working on an insanity plea if he's charged with attempted murder?? Back to the bottle?? He's going for full custody of the baby girl and sending Will back to Switzerland w/o even talking to Sami about it? He's just coming off so far out in left field (even for lucas) that it has to be leading to something...

EJ and Sami were great. Loved the back and forth and the way Ali's eyes twinkled. It's clear EJ so wants to believe her and even while he's pushing her away, he's looking for any sign that might give him hope. The way she got into bed and told him if he was going to will himself to die, he'd have to do it in her arms. That was fantastic soapy soap stuff and considering how EJ feels about her, the poor man didn't stand a chance. And while I get that Sami's not being totally honest with EJ, she went there on her own after Kate called her. Stefano seemed upset with EJ for making her leave but there's no indication he threatened Sami or said anything to her other than not to upset EJ. There's no reason to doubt that she does care about EJ since she told him the same thing when he was passed out in the pub kitchen. Their chemistry is as strong as it was from day one, and I'm still hoping that Sheffer will fix the mess he made and give them a chance.

Loved Stefano and Tony and Stefano and EJ --- his reaction to EJ asking for a gun was perfect and brought tears to my eyes. Kate was also very good in her scenes.

I liked Bo and Shawn - more than I have in a long while. The interaction was good and I'm loving seeing families actually seeing and talking to each other.

I thought the show was great Friday, too. I did a WTH over a couple of things, but overall...it was excellent. Of course, I love Ejami so I enjoyed the scenes in EJ's hospital room. I lost count of the number of times EJ told Sami to leave, but for once, she held her ground. ITA that you could tell EJ wanted to believe what she was telling him, but Sami has faked him out before. Both actors did a great job with those scenes. I believe those two could play out a scene without a word of dialogue...their facial expressions and body language is as clear as reading a book. My first WTH moment came with Lucas talking to Billie. How did he know that Sami went back to the hospital? Billie accused him of having someone follow Sami, but he never responded. Second, Bo lecturing Shawn about leaving his post...is that the pot calling the kettle black? Bo, who was on that stake out last December, got a call telling him Patrick took Hope. In his defense, he found someone to take his place...a civilian named John Black. We all know the rest. Bo would be voted most likely to leave his post at an inopportune time, so at least Shawn comes by his nature honestly. I knew the Salem PD considered themselves above the law, but Bo's conversation with Roman about ransacking Kate's apartment really irritated me, especially the looking for something irreplaceable to destroy. I've never been a good fan of Kate, but some things bug me even if I have no interest in a character. Right now, I've got more sympathy for the bad guys than I have for the Salem PD and the Bradys. What bothers me is I'm not sure if that's what the writers intended.

Liked the Lucas/Will scenes. I feel BD played that well, especially given Lucas' alcoholism past. I will not miss Gerse so, if Will returns, hopefully they recast.

The Sami/EJ scenes were wonderful. Kudos to JS and AS.

Loving seeing so much of Kate and her scenes with Bo and Roman were great.

Nice seeing Caroline and loved the trap Shawn and Bo sprang on Steve. I am really liking the shooting mystery.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
