I was rather disappointed that there has been so much time between Nash's death & the funeral....of course in soap days, I wonder how many it has been. In real time, for me anyhow, the momentum was lost. I just wasn't feeling it like I felt the actual death. I really wish they would have given us a few Nash flashbacks too. Just didn't have the impact I think & wished it would've. (I think Valenti must have really disliked Forbes March!!)

Am LOVING Tina....what could possibly have made her stay away from her family??? I got the impression as she spoke with whoever was on the phone (her husband the Prince??) that she is being kept on a shorter leash than David Vickers. LOL I'm really looking forward to this storyline. I will be sorry if they recast Justis Bolding- now that she's been given someone to act with besides Chris & Leyla, I think she is doing well. Loved the song she sang for Nash.

Todd & Marty....have to say I FF them.Hope she finds out her history with Todd sooner rather than later....ick!

...and please, Gigi...tell Rex...sooner the better...but yeah, its a soap so I'm not holding my breath.

My favorite scenes today were with Roxy, Rex, Natalie and Jared in Angel Square. I loved Roxy's vulnerability with Rex. She hurt my heart. Roxy is not a traditional mother, to say the least, but her love for Rex and her hurt at the cut were heartwrenching for me. I really liked the camaraderie between Jared, Natalie and Roxy. They're so comfortable. As a viewer I kind of needed that to relieve some of the tension that every other interaction seems to be loaded with. And "Natty" and Rex. I love how Rex is still so very angry with Natalie, and so capable of calling her out on that, but he still loves her and that shines through. THAT's what family is supposed to look like.

Loved the ep, don't have much to say but... I thought Sarah's vocal chords were slashed and she could no longer sing?

Todd's new house is *weird*. I thought Llanview was an old city? But it seems lately every new house on a soap has the weirdest design or floor plan (don't get me started on Zach's on AMC).

Otherwise loved nearly everything :D

ANy other Canadians who watch the mid episodes Soap's Up segment (filmed right here in my hometown of Victoria--I've met the host--really sweet woman)we get for AMC and OLTL hear the phone interview she did with Tom Casiello about his views of the show now? Pretty intereesting stuff, though we knew most of it from his blog.

Just got around to watching yesterday's show(stupid news interruption) and I really enjoyed it. I usually find Roxy annoying but I'm really sympathizing with her and am really curious as to who Rex's father could be. I was also glad to see a softer side of Tina today and I'm very glad they starting to show more layers and not just let her be a cartoon cut-out.

On a kind of positive note, Layla was on today but on a negative note she didn't seem sad at all. I really think the writers forgot that she and Nash were friends and it's upsetting. Nash told Layla about his affair with Jess and it was because of that conversation that Cris found out, how can they forget something like that? :(

I actually liked that it took a couple of days/or weeks for the funeral to occur. It irks me a little when soaps (OLTL did this with Asa's death, and it irked me a little) have the funeral happen the next episode after a character has died. I find it more realistic that the show shows a few days pass between the death and the funeral while also illustrating the ripple effects the death has upon the characters. But that's just me ;).

I enjoyed yesterday's episode very much. The funeral has gotten off to a fantastic drama filled start. I cannot wait for it to play out....

...and FINALLY we get a cliffhanger! I think it was one of the best since Nash fell through the skylight.

I hate that the writers aren't writing for Layla. They didn't acknowledge her friendship with Nash & they didn't give her and Adriana a goodbye scene. It's weird that the last person Adriana would visit was Marcie and not her best friend.

Jessica: You are trailer trash!

Bree Williamson is doing a fantastic job with the material she's been given. You can see the hurt in Jessica's eyes, and you can tell how uncomfortable everyone in the room is as she screams at Natalie and Jared.

      I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.

      -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?

      This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.

      Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?

      WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.

      Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.

      Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?
