LOL! It's funny how Chloe talks about how worried she is about Brady but ends up sleeping with Phillip. God, I can't wait for Nicole to return and let this girl HAVE it! I'm not a Chloe hater, I just want too see my Nicole Walker work her magic! A lot of characters today, and so far, I'm counting 17. Pretty nice suspenseful ending and can't wait until tomorrow.

Peggy McKay was awesome today! :)

Todays episode was really good. I was like in my head to Philip and Chloe - Kiss, kiss, kiss... and they did it! lol

I'm liking these two and Shawn and Belle were having fun too. lol

Then we have Jarlena, who was... idk... John is hilarious.

Back home, all of them were at church but NO SAMI. WTH? I guess the Brady clan decided to abandon the poor soul since she's a Dimera now.

^ITA, no Sami was strange - someone could have called her and AS wouldn't have had to be on screen if that was the problem. Oh well, maybe she's babysitting Ciara ;)

Dialogue felt better today - not as much of it which probably helped. Shouldn't we be getting close to where scripts can be tweaked prior to taping?

Anyway the episode was pretty good and just plain sad. PR is doing great in his scenes and is breaking my heart. But I don't like Phillip and Chloe - actually I don't like Chloe at all and don't see 1/4 of the chemistry between her and Phillip as there was between him and Belle. Oh well <_<

Yet another good fallout show. . In fact, none of this feels like Dena to me compared to OLTL or her first Days stint. For one, all the beats are being played. All the right people are reacting (sans Sami and EJ who get involved on Thursday) and we get Nick involved tomorrow. They even brought Maggie out. The station scenes and church scenes were superb. The fact they gave us a Kate/Victor scene is enough to make me smile. It's nice that someone is remembering these two have a past. Hogan never really utilized that (well, Victor was never on so...). I guess Cassie and Rex are never to be mentioned again:lol:

Another thing (since I have watched Wednesday's episode already) is that they are not pushing Victor and Caroline too much. They have just been in scenes together, rediscovering their friendship and bond after he was away and distant for so long. Tomorrow,

None of it is forced. It feels so natural, unlike the park scenes last week. It almost feels like we've had different writers since Thursday because things were up and down as far as dialogue and breakdown goes but since Thursday it's been on the ball. Sure, there is a clunker here and there but much better then before.

Stax was the only bad part about the station/church scenes. I can't stand there anymore. The elephant in the room has grown 10x bigger with the last week of episodes. I can't stand even watching them and I like both actors. Also liked the scene where Roman tossed the object off his desk and Abe mentioned how he does understand...they are his family too and so is Roman. Loved that.

The crash site scenes were great. I can't believe how much of an improvement the writing for Steve and Kayla is. Whoever is writing has connected with them because their magic is back, at least for me. I also love how people aren't forgetting Shawn already. Shelle had a nice moment of remembering him and Bo's telling Hope about his dream (and his going to see his "pop" on the plane and breaking down) was very sad too. PR and KA are rocking this story and I enjoyed the tragic feel to their scenes.

Also love Marlena in doctor mode and the Claire scenes were a delight. The girl can act and I loved her scenes with John. Her calling him "pop pop" and then agreeing to call him John, walking off to hug Marlena was so cute. I also love how she wanted to be with Grandpa Bo. Just too adorable for words.

The end montage and the way the church scenes was shot were superb. I immediately thought Kathy Foster and was right. I loved how the camera shifted from the church to the loved ones closest to whoever was shown in the scene preceding it. Victor comforting Chelsea was nice and loved the scene with Roman taking Caroline's hand and the camera focusing on the rosary and fading to the crash site.

I have no problem with the couples getting closer during this time and I know some did. It's not like the dead body is near them. In fact, all the death and suffering around them only adds to the emotion of them all nearly dying. I can see how it's disrespectful but sometimes people just lose control, especially with all these people have been through and being in close proximity to survive. They are in a desperate situation and being in the cold like that and having to be close to loved ones...it's not implausible for one thing to lead to another. Shelle and J&M are married and Phloe had a relationship so I see no problem and it should be noted that one of these couples doesn't even have sex. They are in a tent, freezing, have been through hell, and need to take comfort and solace in something so why not the one they love? It's the perfect recipe for passions to ignite.

I loved the ending too with the lovemaking. Shelle, Phloe, and J&M were hot. That kiss with J&M reminded me a bit of WV with them both cut up a bit and the tension of him being a stranger to her that she felt connected to.

Absolutely loving this show right now.

For one, they couldn't be moved that far. Steve has broken ribs and a punctured lung and Bo went onto the plane to see Shawn Sr and then seemed to slip into unconscious again so there was no way they should him either. It's probably a little warmer in the plane fuselage and remember too the tents were freezing so much that people had to be close and even naked too stay warm. I can't see a very injured Steve and ill Bo doing that not to mention Kayla, who is in pain. Besides, Marlena mentioned before going into her tent that Bo needed to stay in the cold. The cold is preventing the cells attacking his body from spreading. There were reasons for it that had nothing to do with plot and they acknowledged them.

I am kind of shocked you felt the montage was filler. It was done to build up the emotion of it all but to each their own.

Another great episode!

I was kind of glad Sami wasn't at the station and/or church because then it would've been all about her and her panic attacks (annoying much). I was glad to see Maggie coming, loved the hug between her and Caroline. Also liked the scene with Abe and Roman, when Abe told him they were all like family to him.

Uhm, why did Kate talk about all of her children yet no mention of the twins? It's stuff like this that I don't get. Sure the writer in charge can forget sometimes. But someone behind the scenes or the actor (LK in this case) could've pointed it out. Weird.

The cutest thing were when Claire went to kiss her pop pop goodnight :D , then too see her sleeping in Grandpa Bo's arms. Too cute for words. PR and KA are doing a a great job here btw, just like they always do when there's some heavy scenes.

People can say what ever they want about Chloe but Nadia and Jay are too hot together. They're simply stunning. Although Nadia do look good with pretty much anyone these days including her real life boyfriend BB.

Liked the J&M scene when Marlena pulled away from John like he was some kind of stranger. Then a moment later feel some kind of connection yet very hesitant. Deidre and Drake have both taken a step up acting wise during this storyline. Also loved the little montage at the end.

    • So, Roman admitted that everything he did was to protect Johnny. I like that. It adds another dynamic to this storyline. And it’s also a much better use of the character of Roman. He’s been stuck in the Pub for too long lol I’m also really liking the way that Roman and Kate’s relationship has been written lately. As for Josh Taylor’s voice… no comment

      And speaking of relationships, I’ve also been seeing improvements in the relationships between Johnny and Paulina as well. I enjoyed their scenes today. They really feel more like an actual mother in law and son in law. I’m cringing a little at the way that Paulina would’ve been written had Ron stayed on a little longer. This type of writing is the exact thing that the character of Paulina needed, especially for a storyline like this.  I am a little intrigued with the idea of EJ and Xander going head to head over buying the hospital too, mostly because of how it could drive other storylines, couples, etc.,like EJ and Belle. Him basically using Belle as his own personal fixer, both with Johnny and the hospital board could lead to something interesting happening in the future. And Philip, doing whatever he can in order to get back in Xander’s good graces is a good addition to this storyline as well.  Btw, I don’t dislike it at all but I still can’t believe that they’re

      And yeah, sorry, I know that Days means well but I think they’re making a little too much out of this Xander/Felicity thing. But Xander and Sarah were sweet today. I’m looking forward to seeing everything between them get blown to hell.  Seriously, one of the worst, if not the worst, team in soap history. 
    • Thanks for letting me know! I thought there was a preemption until CBS confused me by uploading Monday's episode on Friday.
    • Lucky Day is an awfully good Doctor-lite episode focused on Millie Gibson and Jemma Redgrave - I am glad the show brought in Varada Sethu who continues to give major Caroline John/Liz Shaw vibes, but Millie was always very good in what felt designed to be a single arc companion and she's very good here too. She deserves a bit more somewhere in the franchise. The depressingly relevant storyline aside, I was most impressed by the showcase for UNIT and Kate Stewart. Jemma is always good but she was amazing here, noting the Doctor would've stopped her from going all the way re: Think Tank if he were there. Yet it's the kind of brute force her father could and did resort to in extreme situations back in the day. I almost hoped she would allow Conrad to be killed right then and there, which is something I think the Brigadier also would've done when backed against a wall over operational control and the safety of the Earth. She came very close, and the steel Redgrave exhibited (as always) was amazing. Whatever spinoffs can still materialize given the current streaming climate and DW's uncertain future (I do think it will continue somewhere, but I would not be shocked if it's back to a run of holiday specials for awhile a la Tennant's and Whittaker's), aside from the upcoming odd Sea Devils miniseries that's in the can, I still hope UNIT and Kate can get a proper one sometime.
    • I think it was just him  And it gave good explanations as to why Alistair was the way that he was. By the time the series ended, he was just evil for evil’s sake 
    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
