To be fair, though, what did people expect? I'm no CK fan but the story as currently written is that Cane is in love with Lily. Heck, Mr. Noble even begged her to stay with him until he divorced Chloe (and I'm surprised Lily didn't jump him right then and there because Beastmaster was kinda sexy in that scene).

Hmmm, did it? I was too busy drooling over Adam and then collecting my jaw from the floor when Victor arrived.... :lol: Although I do remember them fading out too soon. No long close-up of Victor, with the music reaching a crescendo (and, unfortunately, no EP credits after that).

Ya know, Cat....sometimes I think that I'm missing something with these two. I actually start doubting myself and think that I might give them a chance. So I go with it. I try to sit down, without prejudice, and get involved in their story. And I can't. I simply can't see it no matter how hard I want to.

I don't know how popular they are overall, but...ugh. And you're right - that's the way the story is being written and we should expect things like that to happen. But still. Ugh.

What's saddening with the Lily/Cane story (apart from no chemistry, not that good writing etc) is that DG can't hold his ground. I know many here dislike him, but he's decent enough (he does angry very well) and he's hot to boot. When he worked with JW and JC he improved, but now he's sunk. EH is trying, God that woman is trying, but she just can't lift him. Hopefully, the Esther twist will give her things to do.

Isn't the sexiness he oozes amazing? All he has to do now is to improve in emotional scenes (I think it will happen) and he'll be perfect.

The sad thing is that they even showed flashbacks of their "amazing love story" while they were away from each other. That's just desperate. As if we already didn't have enough watching it for the first time, but now they have to torture us with more?

It's a shame that Latham's couple is still there. Ugh.

MAB has been pretty good at correcting many of the mistakes LML has made, or molding them into acceptable stories. She took her sweet time at it, but she did it (there is still a lot of work to be done, but that's OK). So this gives me hope that the whole Cane/Lily thing is still going on for the sake of creating story--Chloe, the Esther reveal, and who knows what else?

I am curious if this whole school talk with Noah is going to lead to a storyline. It might be good if it does, but I think it would be cooler if they just did nothing with it . Just parents discussing their kid's future with him.

Oh, and wasn't New Orleans were Billy went to build houses with Brock?

MAB and JG managed to correct A LOT of LML's mistakes, but of course, this isn't a perfect world and therefore we still have a few mistakes to watch. I would love it if somehow Cane fell in love with Chloe or something. Anything. But it won't happen. Lily is, sadly, the queen of the teen set.

I like Chloe but what she's doing to Cane is SO wrong. It's all so WRONG! I mean if a man did this to a woman - knocked her up to get married while she was sleeping - there would be an online riot. And even if she didn't sleep with him and just pretended to (the scene where he was passed out and she hopped up on top of him like a cat about to eat her prey was icky) - it's still WRONG. The fact that people want to see Cane fall in love with her is a testament to how good EH is and how bad CK is.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
