Thanks Detroitpiston. Smooches.

I have to say I am enjoying the show again since the horrible Mendorra and 1968 plot ended. It still not as good as May/June was but picking back up. I have to say the real chemistry TSJ has is with Bree Williamson. OMG those two are sizzling hot and it's too bad they are related. I love the Tess/Todd scenes. I am liking the Dorian/Langston conflict with Ray Montez. It pretty much looks like to keep Langston Dorian will have to give up Cramer Enterprises. I have to say I love the ramifcations of the Todd/Marty storyline because I think it will encompass lots of the cast when it is revealed he her rapist plus tie into Starr's pregnancy and Jessica's preganncy. This is a big way for Carlivati to do a big umbrella storyline using lots of the cast.

SH and TSJ work well together but their s/l is too disgusting for me to justify their interaction. They've already crossed one line too many and the writing is not deep enough to justify it either. I did like the John/Marty dream connection.

But they share Chopsticks and Heart and Soul together ! (BTW as a musician I think it's kinda embarassing that the only piano Marty could remember or read--and she's amazed by--are those two songs every 5 year old knows, and the basic intro notes of Fur Elise LOL )

Wow!! Those Ray/Dorian scenes were very good!! Some of their best scenes today were when they weren't even looking at each other. The first one was when Dorian had her back to Ray and Ray officially claims Langston......and Dorian's eyes just filled up with tears. Then their last scene when Ray tells Dorian that maybe under different circumstances, they could've gotten a drink together. Kudos to A. and Robin today. Talk about watching two veterans going toe-to-toe.

I couldn't have said it better. RC is long term writer and it's one of the reasons why I think he's a great writer.

Nice catch on the parallel! I love RC's paralells.

Toups, I really am sincere in what I am about to say. I do give you credit for your consistency and your support of RC. I think he is an awful writer and I've thought that since day one. You truly are consistent in commenting on what you like about his writing style and not about this character or that character or this couple of that couple. I can also say you don't mind camp as much as I do, and probably others who are critical of RC. You even liked JER, who I thought was absurdly campy. So while I disagree with your assessments of RC, I do admire your sincerity and the logic of your arguments.
