I wonder if Scott will ever be back...at least he still exists.

I never knew he was on a show with Priya.

I know Adam Thomas gets a lot of stick for his acting, some deserved, but I thought he was good in the scenes with Victoria. Adam's always had a big ego and always been self-absorbed, and babied, and Victoria chose the worst possible time to tell him the news.

I think if James or Victoria had gone to him, he wouldn't have slept with Vanessa (whom I like a lot - although is it me or does she seem like a character who belongs on another soap?), but Chas took care of that!

I kind of wish we'd seen a little more between them. Adam is at his best when half-naked and making out.

So Bright Eyes what do you think of the stories at the moment?


Oh, and if people want me to spoiler tag my posts for the day, I guess I can. Sorry.

He's only supposed to be about 2-3 years older than Finn. She tried to kill him when he was 2 or 3 and Finn was a baby.

James banished her. She would watch them from afar until Pete was about 11 or 12, and he told her to steer clear for good.

So...finally watched today's (yesterday's) episode.
I knew they wouldn't let Finn be mad at Val for long - I guess I should be pleased it lasted for nearly a full episode! She let him see over and over how insecure she was and his heart is too big to resist. I think Joe Gill did a good job in balancing Finn's hurt with his anger. I just hope this isn't back to Finn being a total supporting character again, but oh well.
I'm not quite sure where they're taking Emma. Clearly they knew they'd set her up as such a psycho that fans would have expected her to be the vandal. I was genuinely surprised that she was able to get over her own issues with her kids not loving her enough to work things out between Finn and Val, instead of taking the opportunity to drive a permanent wedge between them.
There was a very interesting choice of words when Aaron told Adam to forget about his night with Vanessa. He said "delete." I couldn't help thinking back to when Robert deleted Katie's photo.
Adam didn’t seem happy at all with Aaron telling him to just drop it. I wonder if this was another way to tell us that he and Aaron are becoming more and more different. I also wonder if this was a way to tell us that he’s going to be furious when he finds out about Aaron and Robert.
Is it bad of me to say that when he said “it could have been anybody, and vice/versa” instead of saying, “It could have been any bird/girl/etc.” that I immediately filed that away for my headcanon of Adam having had sexual experiences with men?
Kerry is always such great entertainment. I loved her prank on Dan.
Laurel - well, we all knew that was coming, although I wasn't expecting to see her vomiting up or that she would fall down the stairs (!). Surprised they didn't take her for medical attention. Doug's shame and dismay at her just about broke my heart.
I knew Scott wouldn't be back, obviously, but I sure wish we'd gotten to see him at the wedding, likely with Kelly, both of them having a lengthy bitching session about Laurel.

I'm not sure if anything on a soap today sums up "love the actress, disgusted by the character" the way Laurel does. Charlotte Bellamy was wonderful today, as was Duncan Preston (Doug), but everything about who Laurel has become makes me uneasy and uncomfortable. Lies on top of lies and a barely hidden rage (like that brief bitching about Donna), and she's just so pathetic.
I know Adam's basically just a walking hardon who consistently makes the wrong choice, but his whole quest to erase the voicemail was a lot of fun. Adam's a very believable character, and as much as a piece of [!@#$%^&*] as he often is, I still like him more than I should. I'm also liking that Victoria is in the middle of so many deceptions - it means she might have some great material when the truths about Adam/Vanessa and Robert/Aaron start to emerge.
It's nice that Val came clean, but it would be even nicer if more of this was actually about Finn. If we learn that Finn and Darren began dating again OFFCAMERA I will scream. I actually thought they were a nice match but they've barely even interacted and almost every time they do it's just for more forced conflict.
Jai is truly a pig. I have no idea why this character is still on the show.
Do Ruby and Ali ever kiss on the mouth?
I got so weirded out when I thought Priya was sitting in her father's lap.

Joey Gill is so adorable in that video. I liked how Val and he sorta made up.

Agree with you re Adam. His stupidity is kinda endearing in a weird way. Did they actually manage to erase Victoria's phone message?

And Emma girl get over James. He's not that hot! In fact he's a little dusty. Chas and her could do better.

    • It's not her favorite scent Nicole hit up the supermarket and they didn't have that pink bottle they flashed to last time Anita and Nicole were in that living room. 
    •   I think Darlene works as the 911 dispatch operator.
    • Luke and Darlene. It was mentioned that Luke is also on the police force so we might see him soon. I agree, if we see any scenes between Dana/Leslie and Kat in the coming weeks it will further fuel my babyswitch theory.
    • Yeah, they have my sympathies but this only works as high camp.  I dunno, have her angrily febreeze her room or SOMETHING (ok that's not much better but...)
    • This crap will not age well when we look back. There's one thing to be subtle, but you're taking any emotion out of the storyline and scene when you have a broken character picking up a Febreeze can and reminiscing about it like it meant something.  They gotta get better at this.

      Watching this right now, BC mentions that Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons. Also MM initially auditioned for Derek.
    • And now Guiding Light continues... Mike, following a new lead, finds a man in Redding,California, who claims to be Clint Pearson, but Mike is sure he is Spence Jeffers, especially when Pearson threatens Mike if he doesn’t stop the investigation. Mike returns with Ann, who identifies Pearson as Jeffers. Pearson has just married a woman who owns a restaurant with him. Realizing that he can’t deny his identity to Ann, Jeffers tells her that Jimmy died in Alaska over a year ago. Ann is devastated, but Mike feels Jeffers is lying about this too. When they can find no record of Jimmy’s death, Ann’s hope is restored.  Desperate to keep his new wife, Mae, from learning about his shady past, Jeffers comes to Springfield and offers Ann “the truth” about Jimmy in exchange for a quick divorce and no bigamy charges. When Ann assumes that this means’ Jimmy is alive. Jeffers tells her no, but he didn’t report the boy’s death because they were fishing in a remote area and there was no one around for days after the accident. Mike and Leslie decide to plan for a child of their own. When Mike tells Leslie he’s up for the post of County Commissioner and he wants to take her on an exotic vacation, she delightedly informs him that she’s the happiest and luckiest woman in the world, because she belongs to him! Later, while Leslie is out, Jeffers arrives at the Bauers’, drunk. Ann arrives, and Spence tries to bribe her to drop the bigamy charge. Mike and Jeffers fight, and Mike is knocked out. Scared and cornered, Jeffers charges out, and as he speeds out of the driveway, Ann hears a terrible scream. Leaving Mike, still unconscious, Ann finds that Leslie has been struck down by Jeffers’s car, and Jeffers has disappeared. Ann summons an ambulance for Mike and Leslie. Mike, regaining consciousness, is told about his wife. The Bauer family and friends gather to pray while Leslie is in surgery. When she finally comes out of the anesthesia, Mike is allowed in to see her. She tells him again of her love for him and for her son, Freddy (by Ed Bauer, her first husband). Not more than a few seconds after Mike leaves her side, Leslie’s heart stops beating. Dr. Joe Werner tries frantically for over twenty minutes to revive her, but, as he and Ed knew from the first, nothing could have saved Leslie. On the day of the funeral—ironically, also the day of their anniversary—Mike receives a package by messenger: a card from Leslie, reading “Happy Anniversary, Darling,’ and the gift, a watch engraved “Love Always, Leslie 6-18-76.” Mike then realizes that he hadn’t even bought a gift for her. When, as they are to leave for Leslie’s funeral,Barbara tells Holly she doesn’t want to go with Peggy and Roger, Holly angrily attacks her mother for using Leslie’s funeral as another excuse to show her hatred of Roger. As Holly accuses her of selfishness in not accepting the situation, as everyone else has, Barbara begins to see she is ruining her own life and her marriage with her self-pity and blind bitterness. Barbara swallows her pride and apologizes to Roger. A few days later, Mike reinvolves himself in the search for Jeffers and Jimmy. Mike informs Ann of a possible lead, a place called Hagen’s Lane, and when Ann disappears the following day, Mike suspects she’s gone there herself and follows her. Ann finds Jeffers there, drunk and in possession of a shotgun. When Mike arrives, Jeffers shoots him in the leg and prepares to escape to Canada after dark. During the waiting hours Mike appeals to Jeffers’s conscience. He assures Jeffers he knows that the killing he was involved  in Alaska was an accident, as was Leslie’s death. Seeing Jeffers wavering between fright and remorse, Mike describes what lies ahead for Jeffers: a life of running, more mistakes, more regrets. Mike promises that Jeffers will get a fair trial if he turns himself in. He tells him he is a good man with rotten luck. Jeffers cannot believe Mike is doing this; after all, he must be bitter about Leslie. Mike doesn’t deny his bitterness, but explains that for his wife’s sake he must help Jeffers pay his debt to society. The man in Alaska was twenty-three years old; Leslie was twentyseven. They are dead, their chance at life gone, but no one can help them now. Jeffers will lose ten years or so of his life in prison, but he must do it. Jeffers weakens. He slumps over a table, crying, “I’m so tired of running.” He then admits that Jimmy is alive and living with relatives and, already showing his penitence, helps Mike to the car. Tim makes a last-ditch attempt to win Rita back and, failing, goes out to get drunk. He later shows up again, asking her help in sobering up, as he’s been called back to Cedars for an emergency. Infuriated by Tim’s late arrival, Steve threatens to fire him. Realizing |that it’s her fault, Rita asks Ed to reconsider, not to harm Tim’s career because of her. Ed takes this into consideration and gives Tim until September to prove he’s worthy of the senior residency. Pam ‘Chandler, who became infatuated with Tim after he saved her and her daughter Samantha when Pam developed toxemia late in her pregnancy, has come to realize that Tim doesn’t see her that way. She informs Peggy that David, Samantha’s father, has written her and she’s leaving Springfield to live near him. There may be a chance for a marriage after all. Roger is upset that his new family is living in cramped quarters because he’s obligated to pay Holly back a loan she made to save his skin last year. Roger | calls on Rita and reminds her that she promised him a share of her inheritance from her rich employer inTexas. Rita claims she can’t give him anything now-her mother is ill and medical expenses are mounting. Mrs. Stapleton is suffering from frequent fainting spells, and Ed is treating her. Bert plans a joint birthday party for Ed and Christina, hoping to get Ed and Holly together to talk. Just as they do, as he blames himself for neglecting her and she regrets ever becoming involved with Roger, Ed is summoned to Rita’s home. Her mother has passed out again. Holly now realizes she wants to stop the divorce, but won’t do it without Ed’s approval. She leaves a message with the answering service to have him call. Rita, knowing the divorce is almost final, steps up her involvement with Ed and Freddy, and when the service calls Ed at her house, she “forgets” to tell him. From Bert Ed learns that Holly has been trying to reach him, and he arranges to talk to her the next day at work (she’s now Steven Jackon’s secretary), but Mrs.Stapleton becomes critical and ed is in surgery all morning.When Mike later stops by to inform Holly the divorce has gone through she maintains her composure until he is gone, then breaks down in tears, sobbing, “No! No!” Ed later learns from Rita that Holly’s call came to her, but, she explains, she forgot in the worry over her mother. When Ed tells Holly of Rita’s “oversight,” she doesn’t tell him why she was trying to reach him. Rita now volunteers to help Ed study for his neurosurgery medical board. Her assistance is helpful, and he’s grateful. Holly is hurt at seeing how cleverly Rita is insinuating herself into Ed’s life. Tim, having buckled down and proven himself,wins the senior residency, and takes Rita’s younger sister, Evie, to dinner to celebrate. More to come...  
    • I wondering why she went back there too. I wish Dani hadn't interrupted she and Nicole. Nicole seemed empathetic towards Eva for a second.
    • I felt so sorry for the actress...  What was her motivation? I usually like a good dream/fantasy sequence, but so far am not too impressed with any BTG has had...
    • Amen.   LMAO!!! All I take from that...and the NEXT WEEK promo from Friday...is that they will probably FINALLY reveal who it is this week.    THIS.
