Babe can't die fast enough.

Colby. I wasn't a big fan of Ambyr's but I thought she really grew as an actress. My understanding is that recast her so they could go with Colby/Frankie. They wisely didn't go that route. They won't ever bring Ambyr back (although they should). But still they should probably cut their losses with this actress.

Taylor/Frankie are a really good pair.

Rylee is puke inducing.

OK, I don't know how they're going to get Annie out of this one. But it's a soap, so they will.

With the disclaimer that I liked Rylee 1.0 (ducks), I just wish that the tornado would suck up Aiden and Rylee would ride off into the sunset when Rebecca exercises her one-year option. That would be half the suxtet gone.

The best thing going right now could be BE as Taylor. Loved her stuff with the meeting today. I like that they're taking this slow, but I feel like I'm getting chunks rather than an arc.

Feeling bad for Amanda, the character. And a bit sad for Amanda Baker, the actress. She never worked as "Babe." (But she didn't irritate the crap out of me like SS's Greenlee) However, AB has been around for a year and has obviously developed some friendships on the show. Those tears seem real, baby.

I won't say anything more about Colby other than, "ugh."

I thought it was a great show. Of course, I skipped the Greenlee/Ryan/Aidan scenes. :D

I thought the scenes in the shrink's office were terrific. What a slime bucket though (the shrink). Melissa Claire Egan is rocking the show these days.

I also loved Frankie/Taylor. They are a good duo, and I really like Beth Ehlers in this role.

I :wub: Jake and Amanda too. I was glad he was there for her today, she needed a shoulder to cry on. Jake is right, Amanda is beautiful on the inside and out.

I do wish that Jake could actually have some dramatic scenes though. He's hasn't had much to since Pratt took over. Where is his backstory about Darfur? And why are we having to see Taylor in the same storyline that was promised for Jake when he returned to Pine Valley? Uggg, I 'd really like to know what is making Jake tick, why he won't tell anyone about what happened to him (and Carolyn) in Darfur... Honestly, at this point, Jake has been home almost six months, and we don't know much at all about him at all. :blink:

I loved the episode--just lotsa great little soap moments. But yeah the Shrink thing is questionable--legally he can't divulge stuff in court without her agreement (not to mention havign Zach watch).

Lone--those are good points about Jake but honestly they don't bug me yet--I feel like we will get them addressed--slowly and I like getting to know his character form how he interacts with others (and Ricky's obvious adlibs like calling his pager his antique, etc)

It's not like what seems ot have happened with Kathy's story...

I loved the scene where Annie broke the two-way mirror.

I can't believe it - but I'm starting to like Rylee together. There is a sad, subtle vibe to it that kind of gets to my heart.... !

Amanda Baker's tears were real - you could tell that. It was her Fusion goodbye scene.

I caught the show last night on Soapnet and they played a tornado preview. It looks pretty good. Can't wait for next week!

Yeah, I thought that, too. It felt like Amanda saying goodbye, not Babe.

Having said that -- this made me want to smash my TV set:

Babe: Here's my letter of resignation. This will show that Fusion is taking steps to correct matters, and I also want you to put out a press release putting the blame on me for pushing the product through, despite knowledge I had about potential problems.

Oh, Babe! So self-sacrificing! Is there nothing she wouldn't do for her "friends" at Fusion? Is the woman a saint in sexy stockings or what? :rolleyes:

Little A is the cutest child that ever did dimple! I love the way he interacts with his screen parents -- and those scenes with David Canary on Wednesday were adorable and heartbreaking.

I got chills when Annie panicked and smashed the two-way mirror. I think that the shrink's evidence is going to be inadmissable in court because he trapped her at the behest of a third party. Was Zach shown paying him off or something? Anyway, it was illegal and the fact that Zach was listening in made things even worse. It's not like he's a cop on The Wire!

Not feeling Rylee but then again, I never have. I will give the actors kudos for trying to seel the "romance" and the director for way he filmed it. However, Dynamite Kiddo & the Green Butterfly? Please, no! The only part I am liking about this story is the fact that Aidan bugged the earrings. :lol: And listened in on Jake and Amanda's loud kissing.

Taylor is growing on me. The shots of Brot's funeral flag, the bronzes of his baby shoes, the small photos of him growing up and in his dress uniform seemed very real and very moving.

Honestly? It was filmed in such a way that I couldn't make out Brot's face. I thought there was one photo where he looked white, but he could have just been wearing beige pants. :lol:

BTW, BE and CS have a great chemistry. Not romantic, necessarily -- but it's clear how much Frankie cares for Taylor.

I thought Amanda Baker's Fusion goodbye scenes were well done, however having Babe "self sacrifice" herself was a little blah. I'm sad to see Babe go.....not so much Amanda.

*sigh*

Oh what I'd give for a short return by Alexa so we can have great Babe/JR and Babe/Bianca flashbacks :wub:

      Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!

      5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.

      The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.

      So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???

      Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)

      Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
