I hate the couple that is Jabe so I am not going to defend it. I think it is a horriable couple and an abusive one and I think it's beyond hurtful and insulting that any woman would even want to be with JR considering all of his past actions. However I will say that Babe has supported JR before, when Dixie first came back to PV and JR saw her for the first time Babe was the perfect doting wife who did everything she could of to support him and help him through it that period of their marraige was when Babe did everything she could to help JR through his pain and JR rewarded her with a murder attempt.

As to Babe being wrong and apologizing that has happended numerous times. So many times that I am not even going to go through all of them. CPR classes, the entire summer that was 05', ect.

I like Amanda Baker but I don't "get" her as Babe. I just don't. Though I am liking her with Jacob, I don't want a JR/Babe reunion. They're not good for each other. They're like Sonny & Carly, and it's time to move on.

Before you misunderstand me. I'm NOT ragging on Babe. I was never a fan of hers while she was in a relationship with JR when AH was on the show but I grew into a fan of hers when she was with the Fusion girls and she did leave, I was strangely sad about it.

I was by NO means implying that the wrongs of Jabe lay exclusively at Babe's feet- far from it. Like I said, I am a JR fan but I'm not a JR fan that truly believes he's some saint or that his actions are above reproach because of the wrongs against him. I don't think that at all. There are a LOT of times when I find it difficult to be a JR fan. He can be evil incarnate when he chooses to be and I know that. I think Jabe has been dysfunctional from the get-go in the past. For every wrong one did, the other tried to top it. Sure Babe supported JR a bit when Dixie revealed herself but then while she did it she kept telling him how grateful he should be that she was there for him after all the evil things he'd done to her. That's how it came across on my television. JR would do the same thing when he would do something to her and then ask her why he should trust her. It was a vicious cycle of evil dysfunction and they did not seem to enjoy each other at all unless they were in bed OR with Little A so I didn't see the love there. EVER...not once.

BUT

now they are playing it differently. Babe is not only apologizing for being wrong, she's not really rationalizing it to JR or to herself. She honestly somewhere inside of herself believes in JR...or for the first time I see it. Either way, I like what I see there. I like that JR is owning the fact that he deserves her skepticism because of their past. In other words, they are acting like adults and at the same time enjoying each other's company. They smile. They laugh together and I can honestly see that they LIKE each other as much as they want each other. It's refreshing because before recent events, prior to nuBabe, I never saw that with them so it's made me pause and reconsider how I feel about the couple. I like them and I'm not ashamed of it. It's a wonderfully pleasant surprise for me as a JR fan and an AMC fan in general.

The writing for her may not be as destructive and unfocused but she is still as boring and unnatural in the role as she ever has been.

I personally don't care a thing about Jabe because they are the most sickening and abusive relationship this side of Todd and Blair. Baker performance is poor and rather lifeless and if that's what is needed to make Jabe shippable then that shows more about the "super" couple then needs to be said. I think everyone knows who the more memorable performer in the role is regardless.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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?

      I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.

      I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!!
