I'm just saying it was a cheesy effect, piling 30 extras in Brooke's way after she heard a gun shot. And then no one got there ahead of her.

Sorry...I think Gareis can't cry worth a damn. Now, her scream when she got to the room Storm was in...that was good.

And I thought some of the dialogue at Katie's bedside just blew. It was one of those times when saying less would have meant more. "Sister, dear sister, see you in heaven...blah blah..." I just wanted to scream STFU.

I loved the slow-mo thing.

The ending actually surprised me a little. I figured they were going to end it with the flashbacks, have the screen go dark, and we hear a gunshot and that's it. And then come in tomorrow with what Brooke/Donna heard. But I liked the way they did it anyway.

*rushes to find a proxy so I can watch this episode online* That's the joys of being Canadian... American networks blow chunks, we make up a huge section of their fanbase and they can't even make episodes available for us?

Gotta see this!!

It is the new stealth-CBS. Nuke kisses...no promo. B&B big event...no promo.

I am fine with this. Actually, I'm loving it.

We're being surprised again...and as spoiler-seeking as I am (because I have no self-discipline) this makes for MUCH more enjoyable soap. Indeed, spoilers are killing the industry, I think.

So, I hope these surprises keep coming without promo.

This is a soap opera...maybe just maybe Storm survives! This is the land of Sheila Carter so anything goes.

If he WDV does leave, I'll feel bad for him. He's such an amazing person and the only actor with whom I ever connected with when I was talking to him.

Maybe Prince Omar takes a liking to him, replaces his corpse with a wax figure, spirits him to the Middle East, and gives him a new brain. The new brain is free of psychopathology, so a new and better Storm returns!

This was, hands down, the best B&B episode in at least the last 5 years.

KKL brings the A game, JG was actually good, JW pulled himself together, WD worked it...I am simply impressed.

Daytime has become so spoiler filled that most storylines lose their punch. Not this time, this episode punched me in the gut and then bitchslapped me across the face with how good it was. Absolutely stunning! Props to Brad and the Writing Team, Michael Stich directing, all the producers, the extras, everything! THAT is how you go out with a bang.

I loved WVD even as evil Michael Cambias on AMC, and Storm had so much more humanity to him! He was heartbreaking today, making the ultimate, sad, and twisted sacrifice to save Katie! I love VI's David too, and I expect to enjoy him even more now that MAB is actually starting to develop him, unlike LML! :)

OMG. OMG, OMG, OMG. OMG, OMG, OMG! OMG!!!. Classic, CLASSIC episode. FANTASTIC writing by Janice Ferri Esser, great directing, great productions values, the flashbacks, the haunting music, GOD! Defo the best episode for a long, long time. The building to Storm's suicide! WOW! My favorite moment was actually when the shot is heard and Brooke runs out in slow motion--it looked so real, so heartbreaking. Jennifer Gareis was actually quite good and the way Brooke sat next to Storm and show the picture on his hand... KKL's acting was superb at that moment. The way she realized that Storm had made one final, twisted sacrifice for Katie and didn't need the letter to know just showed that this woman actually has a MIND! LOVED it. From beginning to end.

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.

      TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

      You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

      "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva.

      But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

      Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
