IA. It seemed as if the writers dropped the Zach and Greenlee angle. I loev that its creeped up again

They were already mentioning Maria, Sam and Maddie today

IA. Krystal being with her was a big WTF, especially since she was so emotional as if she and Julia were super close friends. They\'ve barely interacted

That is true. But like people say all the time, we watch soaps to escape realism. In our minds, we hope that if we're put in that situation, that we can jump off a roof and grab onto the bottom of a helicopter in order to save the one we loved. It's escaping realism like this that I love about soaps. However, I hate when people use that "escape from realism" excuse when it comes to ridiculous things that go on on the soaps like Marlena's possession or anything on Passions.

I agree it was a bit much, but since there was SO much soapiness, romance and secrets revealed (old-fashioned soap) on Friday, I could overlook all the CGI and action stuff on AMC today.

The John McClane stuff I *LOVE* because... well, becuase I've got a lot of testosterone in me and I love that crap. But I DO understand that it needs to be paced out in daytime. It's not ALWAYS what the audience wants to see, but every once in a while, it's nice to throw in. Like an after dinner liqueur. So I didn't mind today because there was so much good emotional stuff surrounding it.

I also thought the actor playing Frankie did a GREAT job today. Forgot to mention that before.

Agree about the unfab four. I didn't like the very beginning when they talked about the 3 great love stories:

Jesse & Angie - check

Tad & Dixie - Of course

Kendall & Greenlee - UGH! What an insult to even include them with the other two.

I cried my eyes out when Dixie thanked Julia for taking care of Kate.

Exactly! That's why it worked. If there was just action, it wouldn't have been this good. All the action stuff came after a beautiful, romantic wedding.

Yeah, once and while....unlike GH.

I really like him too. And he looks so much like Jesse.

Agree with all the stuff others have mentioned. Another excellent show. I cried watching Julia's final moments. When I learned Sydney Penny was leaving and this was the way Julia was going to be written off, while pissed, I didn't really care all that much, but Sydney Penny today, proved why she was once heralded as one of daytime's greatest younger performers in the 90's, Her talent still shone through. I mean, in almost 3 years, Sydney gave the most meaningful performence in a few minutes. Poor Kathy, has to lose so many people she loves in order to be reunited with Tad.

I loved Adam comforting Kathy. He is so good with her. Colby seems nothing more than wallpaper, why did they recast again> LOL

I didn't mind the Kendall/Ryan and Zach/Greenlee stuff. It was good balance to the action and emotional drama elsewhere. Rebecca is playing Greenlee for all she's worth the past few days. Loving every single second of it and I'm sorry, but I can't deny that hot chemistry between Thorsten and Rebecca.

    • I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus the being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.  
    • Great episode, better than what the spoilers said. The gambling story was tolerable but Jon Lindstrom sucks in the role. Ambyr Michelle continues to shine. The diner and country club scenes were very well executed.  The Jan and Leslie scenes were very good! My favorite is Eva, now followed by Nicole.
    • Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They (especially Martin) will come around quicker to her before others (like the Dupree women) will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.
    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?
