Suit yourself! I was loving Lily as the pill-popping tattler. With Chris clued in, now I salivate at the thought of Tom going apeshit about Emily's hooking. Even the blocking was more interesting today, especially the final shot of Chris finding her with Dusty. Lucinda's inquiries about Craig appropriately reminded us of who's at play in the medical research drama. Lisa! What a welcome inclusion in the script. Not only was she doing hotel business, but connecting with Barbara. I don't know how CZP does it, but she's practically slicing open a vein and bleeding for the audience. Even a bit of the Munson parents was tolerable. I found it to be a welcome mix of titillation, romance and business plots. :)

Perhaps the quad, Bratie and Carjack aren't needed in Oakdale at all...

Great show today! A lot of different stories coming to a head. Loved unravelling Lily, Emily's chickens coming home to roost, Barbara's futile attempts to reach out to loved ones, etc. Really good soap opera stuff today. The only thing that ruined it for me was a rumor I heard about a great current cast member being fired.

Hey....I understand that other stories must be served. (As "blah" as I thought the eppy was, at least it didn't leave me wanting to poke my eyeballs out, ala GL on a Harley-binge.) But excuse me if I didn't find it high drama. Chris is having a meltdown over Em selling herself? DOES HE KNOW ANY of her history? She nearly killed both Dusty and Paul! She nearly cheated with Chris when she was married to Hal and he was engaged to Alison! She's had more murderous lovers than he's spent years in college getting that medical degree.

Lucinda's back to blaming whoever dumped PussyCat. PussyCat's back swilling pills like tic tacs. We had to be reminded what was going on with the research story because nothing's been done with it, period.

There were some nice performances, but that still doesn't mean the eppy didn't SUCK.

I called the comment line (718-780-7675). Even though I don't lay the success of a show at one actor's feet, it almost literally depends on the actor! I can't wait any longer for the regular location shooting to begin. It's time to see the contingency plan at work.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode
