I actually liked pretty much every scene in this episode, which is always rare, as I'm a bitter person. I still don't like the Tracy/David story much, but the B&B group involvement made it feel less forced and the dialogue and development between the two of them was better than usual (Owen Lloyd-Fox is one of the show's better writers for me). I'm still enjoying the Charity/Belle scenes and I wish I could will the idea of Charity becoming all about Cain again out of the universe. And they even referenced that bizarre story of Charity being pregnant with Moses in jail. The Holly drug story is what still keeps my main interest, and I'm glad we're getting more Barton family implosion to come as Moira is now lying to Adam. Adam and Victoria were a couple who grew on me even as they barely had scenes together for many months on end, so getting to see a good deal of them lately has been a nice surprise.

 

Natalie Robb and Jeff Hordley must be one of the most underrated acting pairs in soapland, or on television. That one brief scene before Cain left to see Debbie had so many layers that wouldn't have been on the page.

Gemma Atkinson talks about Marlon and Carly. It's interesting mostly for her comments about the producer changeover and the input actors have or don't have. I haven't heard anyone else in the cast talk much about this.

The poker scenes were bearable only because of the palpable, and I think unintentional, sexual chemistry between Pierce and Rakesh. Wowza. I'd like to see Pierce collect his debt by making Rakesh his bottom b**ch but I'm pretty sure they won't go there.

 

Is it possible Belle could suffer a "hysterical pregnancy" if her "conversations" with "Ellie" are any indication? Stranger and stranger.

 

Still WAAAAY too much of Tracey Sharon Shankley on this show. I guess she's the pet of the new producer.

With the news of Tracy's father coming aboard and with the speculation that he may also be Vanessa's father, does anyone else think he could end up being Chrissie's father as well?

 

I think Marlon and Carly will surprisingly work well together. I'm glad they dealt with that random hanging thread that was Marlon/Harriet from a while back.

I'm not a big fan of scenes where characters talk about a tragedy and then have sex, but I do think they work well together. I've seen people say that she'd never be with him after she was with gorgeous Ross, but Ross treated her like trash.

 

I think Tracy and Chrissie as sisters would be more interesting than Vanessa and Tracy, although Jacob would probably snap and burn down Home Farm.

So Chrissie decided to frame Andy for a potential murder charge because she heard him leave a somewhat vague message for Bernice and then he lied about it? Really? I'd understand if she'd caught him in bed with Bernice (and they weren't aware of it). Uggh.

Uhhh...excuse me...I DO watch every day. I guess I just didn't know that Chrissie was aware they'd slept together.

 

P.S. Sorry about multiple posts-this site is a technical challenge on an iPhone.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
