I can't believe they killed Ross! And all so they can attempt to make Pete interesting. I'm so sad right now. I hope it was Michael Parr's decision to leave. The way Pete hid the body, there's room for Ross not to really be dead, so he could come back in the future maybe... Also, making Ross Moses' father is really pointless, now.

 

Val got a brilliant exit. I loved those scenes with Val and Diane - they were brilliantly written. The mirror maze exploding with glass was so dramatic. Poor Finn. James and Emma continue to demonstrate how insensitive they are. 

 

The Adam/Vanessa scene was surprisingly good.

 

Meanwhile, Debbie continues to fight another day. Damn shame.

Completely agree with everything you said, Ben. 

I was so completely stunned , but am clinging on to the hope that Ross may do a Mercedes McQueen and rise from the dead.

Val's exit was perfection, even if it did feel a little like something from Final Destination. LOVED it when she lit up a cigarette, all defiant like. 

The biggest revelation, acting-wise, for me this week has been Anthony Quinlan. He does 'angry' so well!

There's some juicy stuff to come at Home Farm - this is huge for the Whites. God, I love this show.

Thank you all for your optimism. I hope my boo is still alive. But deep down, I know he isn't. And I can't even be mad at Pete b/c my boo was a whore. But I blame the other whore in this situation, Debbie! That harlot lead my men down a destructive road. Much like she's done other men. That b-tch is a black widow! She drives all the fine ass men cray cray! Andy. Cameron. Ross. Pete. I'm sure I'm missing a few more too. 

 

That aside, I agree that this incident involving Chrissie makes big things happen for the Home Farm family. I'm glad that the curse continues involving the current occupants of Home Farm being cursed and destructive.

AQ is a decent actor when given the material, but none of that makes Pete an interesting character. Even now, I know I'm going to have issues with this story b/c of what he's done to awesome Ross.

 

Maybe this will finally flesh out the Whites and make them more than plot devices. When Chrissie broke down and 'fessed up, I felt like this story could be the making of her. For the first time she felt less of a plot device and more of a proper character. I hope that lasts.

True, Pete is a dull character - which is why Pete ended up with Ross for "the best sex she's ever had." *sigh*

So Joanie, James and Finn all survived against the odds. Wonder if there'll be another death tomorrow night, though? I doubt it somehow.

And why were Alicia, Kirin, Priya and Rakesh in the Summer Fate trailer, yet they were nowhere to be seen this week?!

Imagine if Kim Tate had been in that helicopter!

It's all too much.

Emmerdale really played my bae Ross tho if that really is the end...talk about an ignoble end.

 

Meanwhile ole boss b*tch Val goes out like a damn diva...cigarette lit and all. Loved her scenes with Diane. I will say though tha show was super obvious when it came to Val dying.Her dialogue was so over the top and the constant references to "I'd rather be dead!" kinda gave it away.Still though I feel so bad for Eric and Finn and her son Paul.



Meanwhile the ho most likely will live. I just can't.....Pete's fury was def interesting to watch. I can't believe he hid the body. I do wonder if they chose the wrong brother to die....or better yet let Debbie die and see the fallout between them.

Are we 100% certain Ross is dead dead?

 

Jesus my gurl Emma is about to be sent over the effing edge thanks to Ross.

 

I don't even know why they had Finn in Debbie's room? Like he needs more disrespect from Cain of all people. Speaking of why can't htey just kill Cain off. he's not that useful. He's an idiot and non caring fool. Watching him with Kyle was pathetic.

 

OF COURSE Pete's gonna forgive this dumb ho. Even though shes' the cause for him killing his brother like that.

Looking at it, I don't think Ross is dead. Even how Pete 'buried' him, you can tell the writers were somewhat suggesting that he is could still be alive. I wouldn't be surprised if he was to pop up in the future. That is if bae does not pursue a Hollywood career and becomes a breakout star. 

 

I do wish that Pete would've leaned in towards Debbie at the end and whispered in her ear, "I am going to make your life a living hell as long as we are married." That would've made me scream in laughter.

LOL its like you're reading my mind. I legit thought Pete was gonna choke the living daylights out of Debbie and probably kill her while everyone was out of the room! Pete looks like he's completely SNAPPED. Its like something's just changed. He's no longer naive, country bumpkin without a brain as bae would call him. Anthony Quilian def is selling the hell out of this aftermath. I just love the pure rage and expressions of confusion about what to do next while also feeling sad about Ross.

 

I agree Ross might be alive. I totally see him coming back to torture Debbie from behind the shadows....I think that would be an amazing storyline.

The article said (unless I misread it) that the only reason the author would ever watch a soap was for an OTT stunt. That's why I felt it was a sneerfest. 

 

I know there was a rumor Dan would also be leaving, but I don't get the impression they're splitting him from Kerry so I assume they're staying. 


It's weird though how long they've spent phasing out Ali and Ruby, writing Rachel back in just to write her out very very slowly...I'm not quite sure what's been going on with the planning for this group. Maybe Kate Oates felt guilty about writing them out, maybe it was a mandate?

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
