Good episode today. Anybody who's missed the Mendorra stuff got what they wanted, which is nice.

Tina keeps me rolling, I swear. Where my "Sesame Street" people at? Doesn't Tina remind you of Prairie Dawn?

David, Addie, and David Vickers looked so sweet in their matching shirts lol. I want Addie and David to fall in love for real, damn it!

I thought it was kind of sloppy to make Cain and Antonio former fellow inmates, just to NOT have to explain who Cain was to Antonio. As soon as Antonio (and Cristian, who was NOT in prison with Cain) recognized him, I was like, how do THEY know Cain? He was off the show before the Vegas existed! And I still wasn't clear on Cristian knowing him, and Cain's alias Humberto Kalderon, when Cristian wasn't in Statesville (at least at the same time) and I doubt Antonio got out of jail and started telling Cristian and Carlotta all about Cain Rogan around the diner counter.

And why does Cain always use aliases with the initials H.K.?! I hope there's a reason for it, because I don't think it's ever been explained, and I think it's very curious.

Note: Cristian slid the sword down the BACK of his pants.... HOT! The thoughts that brought up in me.... I didn't notice any underwear in there either!

Loved David Vickers the dog in the courtroom! He barked on cue, looked SO scared shaking from the sound of the banging gavel, and didn't make another peep after the judge called the room to order!

Bo packed up his entire apartment and left?! Go get him Rex!

Lindsay's line was perfect: "What are you going to do without me?" It was equal parts completely self-centered, and also right on the money because as much as Nora won't admit it, she thrives on trying to "get" Lindsay.

So I'm guessing that Clint will go to Dorian and offer to break up David and Addie's marriage, if she restores Cramer Enterprises to Buchanan Enterprises and its former owners? That's a little short-sighted and if things are so easily resolved as far as the company, then Nash's death was REALLY useless. I need to see at least Dorian retaining ownership and LETTING Clint run the company for her (with him still plotting to somehow get it back but not succeeding for a long while) and possibly Clint telling David that he's a Buchanan to keep David's hands off Addie's money, but I don't think Clint would be that self-sacrificing. Maybe Clint will try to seduce Addie away from David, driving a wedge between Clint and Nora? There are a lot of things they can do with it, but I don't want the Buchanans to get B.E. back just yet!

Carlo was VERY Darth Vader with his "I AM YOUR FATHER!" but I can't help but love him. I'm still wondering about his master plan, and I love that Antonio will now realize he's fallen in love with a girl whose father is his worst nightmare. THAT'S damn good conflict for Antonio, for once in my life. I love Talia so much. Friday was a different side to them, you could see Talia WANTED their relationship to be different (you kept tabs on me? I kept tabs on you. I know you could have swooped down and taken us back whenever you wanted to... but you had no use for me! And now you do... you need something from me!) So she wants to be wanted/needed by her father, and then shows up the target Carlo intends to use Talia against: Antonio.

And Viki asserting that they will have to get Natalie and Jared set up in their roomS! Go Viki! You keep your tramp daughter's legs closed!

Great episode, I enjoyed so much of it!

    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.
