I really enjoyed Tina and Cain as well today, and I haven't been enamored of AE's Tina ever. UO, but I preferred KT's Tina. AE's Tina was campy and cartoonish to me. KT's Tina was as ditzy in her own way, but not so over the top. And she had great chemistry with Roger Howarth's Todd, and David Vickers (the human variety). JMHO.

Her response when Cain asked her why the sudden concern struck me. She said "I guess it was seeing her again, and she LOVES ME! Typical Tina. It's all about her.

I enjoy Cris and Antonio when they're being brothers. I think it's funny that they're being held captive but allowed to keep their cell phones. And Cris prying the sword from the "whatever it was" brings visions of Conan the Barbarian to my mind. If only Cris had been shirtless for that scene. My own little directorial interjection there. ;)

I don't know about this. I thought RSW was great today, although Bo broke my heart. The expression on his face when he removed the buttoniere from his lapel and crushed it and threw it aside, the way he shrugged off Lindsay's touch, doesn't make me feel hopeful that he's going to forgive her. But I could certainly be wrong. I never thought we'd see them taking vows after the LAST time.

It's good to be different. :P

There is no denying that Nora has every right to the human urge to stick it to Lindsay at every opportunity. Lindsay has done horrible, unspeakable things to Nora over the years. If only Nora could manage to take her revenge on Lindsay without being so self righteous about it, I might be more on Team Nora. On Friday we hear her self satisfied "Gotcha", but yesterday we were subjected to Nora just doing what HAD to be done. I call BS. Nora was advising Marty when she was being held on charges of Spencer's murder. Nora can bend the rules when it suits her. Just not for Lindsay. So frankly I don't mind that Nora seized the opportunity, it's her denials that she took satisfaction from it that grate on my last nerve.

That's what bothered me, too. She looked upset and shaky when she delivered the news to Bo (and the entire party!) but as soon as she stepped outside, she was back to her composed, self-justifying self. "Self righteous" is absolutely right!

LOL, jp. Wait until we disagree though! You might wuv me less. :lol:

I always get this feeling from TSJ/Todd that he truly, honestly believes that he could screw anyone he wanted to, and he uses that feeling to intimidate everyone. I mean, I don't know if the writers are writing it that way (or if TSJ is playing it that way), but it's almost as if Todd uses it as a way to make people uncomfortable. "You're standing in my way? All right. Fine. *steps closer, until he's two inches away from the person's face, whispering* What's the matter? You like being here with old Todd?"

The person leaves, Todd gets what he wants, and I'm soaking up the hoYay.

I really enjoyed the Cain/Tina scenes. I am a newer viewer who's not too clear on the history but the two actors work very well off of each other and I'm very glad that we are getting more insight into this story,

Loved the Carlo/Sarah/Talia scenes. I really like Talia and am happy that they are giving her a good storyline and BethAnn is doing a great job with the material. Hearing how Talia's brother drowned her pet and her sister locked her in the trunk of a car showed a different side to her. I really liked.

Thom Christopher is wonderful. He has a presence when he's onscreeen that makes it hard to not just watch and be mesmerized by him.

LOVED the Starr/Michael/Marcie scenes. I was so excited when I saw that Starr and Michael were going to have scenes because Chris Stack's first scenes as Michael were with Kristen Alderson back in December and I loved them. I thought they worked well off of each other and I had been wanting more scenes between the two of them so I'm happy now. Kathy and Kristen also work well together(okay Kathy works well with everyone) so I liked their scenes as well. Even though I don't like the way Starr is going about this whole adoption thing I am still intrigued. I really want to know where Ron is going with the Marcie/Starr relationship. They're both desperate and confused and feel their only option is each other. They're both also lying to the people they love(Marcie to Michael, Starr to Blair). It should be interesting to see how it all turns out.

The Cole/Todd scenes were ok for me. I hate the characters at this point but I love TSJ as an actor and I think that Brandon did a good job yesterday as well. As someone else stated Brandon has gotten much better as an actor since he started and it shows. There were some scenes he did a couple of weeks ago that I thought he was horrid in but everyone has a bad day every once in a while so I'll let him off the hook.

The board seems to be split on the whole Starr/Cole thing as to whether which one is acting like a bigger ass but I think they are both acting ridiculously. I just side with Starr because I'm so happy that she finally got her spine back and is stepping up for herself. Words can not explain how disgusted I was when Starr agreed to run away with Cole in May even though to me it seemed obvious that she didn't want the baby and really wanted to try and work on her family. She only ran away to please Cole because she knew he had no family and felt she and their unborn child were it. I think it was nice of her to care so much but I was upset that she just gave up her entire life just so he could be happy even though in the end she'd probably be miserable. In that sense I think that Ron has given Starr back her self-worth. She's spent the last year and a half trying to please Cole and make him happy and I'm glad now that she is finally deciding to do what is right for her and this baby how ever ill-advised it may be.

LOL! I wasn't trying to figure out what site name was not allowed, hereinafter referred to as snwna. I was just wondering how that showed up. Did you try to link, or type in the name and that just popped up automatically? I think it's ingeneous really.

I typed in the name of the site. These boards have a language filter, so techincally, these board names are curses, and there is a replacement word set for each curse....you can turn s.h.i.t to crap, and it automatically shows. For the few site names not allowed, [site name not allowed] shows. ;)
