I am not feeling Bree today. It's just too much. It's becoming annoying and bratty. Her voice is so high and the screeching is so loud. Seriously. I wish Bree would take it down like nineteen pegs. I do like Archer's performance though. She is really playing all of her emotions very well. However Williamson is killing me with her acting choices. It's just all hysterical screaming with no variety or nuances.

I find it so hard to get behind Jessica's rant because so much of it is based on thoughts that she herself had conjured up. All her comments about Jared and Natalie "laughing at Nash" and being proud of themselves for "pulling one over on Nash Brennan" are bullshit because Jared was right. It wasn't like that. It was an accident. Jessica is grieving and is in a tragic state, so the only people she can throw that at are Natalie and Jared, because they're the ones who lied to the family. If Dorian didn't drop a bomb on the family at the meeting, and Nash and Jared had been arguing about anything else other than the vineyard stuff (I don't know...let's say Nash was pissed because Jared was wearing the same dress as him), and somehow they came to blows and Jared pulled Nash back and he fell through the skylight, would Jessica be throwing wrath at them?

Nash died because he wanted to start a fight. Jared didn't hit him back or anything, he stopped him from almost slapping Natalie! Nash instigated ALL of the violence in that situation and you see where he's at now? I'm not saying that he had no reason to be pissed to epic proportions, but I'm also saying that he chose to be violent and start a fight, and he suffered the consequences of his actions.

PS: And am I wrong for wanting Nikki Smith to pop out for just a milisecond? "Jessica, you've said enough, you need to calm down, it's for your own good. SHUT THE [!@#$%^&*] UP BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR [!@#$%^&*]!!!!!!!!!! Jessie, please..." And I also wanted Roxy to jump up when Jessica took a crack at her and called Natalie trailer trash.

Jessica may be wrong, but I *totally* get it. It's all a completely human reaction, and I can't fault her for any of it.

And whether you like her performance or not, you can't deny Bree is working her ASS off!

ETA: Holy foreshadowing with Bo and Lindsay!!!!!

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
