Episode hasn't held my attention all the way through today, but some things that I liked...

Cain: Who the hell is Tess?!

Tina: Jess under stress is Tess!

I enjoyed Tess whacking Charlie with the skillet. Haven't seen her REALLY do a lot of violent things, just talk about and threaten and not following through on nasty things. Finally an alter just running around causing chaos again!

KEYSHAWN REDDICK IN SWIM TRUNKS ALL EPISODE! :wub: And John holding him in a choke hold and lying on top of him... Yum. That's ALL I needed today. :D

"Jess under stress is Tess"

LMAO, Tina gets line of the day. I loved her simple explanation for this

I think he's finally likeable. I hated him at first but since they moved him from Natalie's orbit and put him with Marty last year, I havent minded him much.

It was beyond ridiculous that John MCBain who looks like he'd have the body of a sci fi obsessed, geek teenager (who also likes to wear only black!) could hold down Keys. Otherwise I liekd th eepisode actually--dunno why more than other recent ones but it felt enjoyable. Did everyone get a preview at the end of the episode?

I don't hate him. But since they moved him from Natalie, I don't care about him. The only part that bugs me is that he makes me not care about anyone he shares scenes with. <shrug> I've always loved Blair, but I was Marty neutral. Now I am Blair neutral, and Marty slightly to the negative of neutral, because she acts retarded. Dain Bramage isn't sexy.

A little OT, but for you Dorian fans... They showed a brief clip of "veteran soap opera star, Robin Strasser" on the ABC noon news here in New York. She was in coat and hat, in line (or as New Yorkers say, on line) to vote at 4:45 this morning. She said that she wanted to make sure she'd have enough time to vote before she had to go to work.

    • So many things would have had to be different for Mary to want to go back to Reginald. It could have been interesting if it had been handled completely differently but as it was we had a very black and white Mary good/Reginald bad. If she had been able to ignore his worldly crimes and how he treated his own children there was still the fact that he had separated her from her children. Maybe if they had shown us more intimacy and affection between them and had allowed him to have real vulnerabilities it could have worked but as it played out they didn't do much to present him with any sympathetic hook. There are a lot of ways to define wanting things to work. Fans are mostly thinking of preserving or restoring characters and an atmosphere that drew them to the show. The sponsor may only be thinking of the bottom line. When a producer or HW comes in and decides that their vision will deliver for the bottom line and they need to fire most of the cast in order to do it it can feel very much like not caring. 
    • I remember this getting a lot of criticism at the time.
    • Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN. 
    • Oooooooooooooo a Jazmen script off of a Sara Bibel breakdown.    I'm intrigued. Lol. Yeah, one thing I can say for sure...when SilkPress is about to have a crazy moment, they do give her music. 
    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories
