Indeed. And Thank You, Eden, Tamara and AMC/ABCD!

Bianca's always been kind of bossy/demanding with her women, imo. Nothing new here. She is a Kane Woman, after all and likes to be worshipped (did you see her light up about a Spa Day), too. Hot moments there for Reese and Binx.

Liked the Di twist, though I understand big fans of the character being upset at the turn for her...but I really love that Pratt tied this up with a character from both Aiden and Annie's past. And Di did a bit of rough and tumble with Julia Santos and that giant pencil weapon she carved out of a chair or something. Back when Danielle was on?

I giggled watching Annie stop to realize, Oh [!@#$%^&*], everything's going wrong. We have a problem. She oughta squirm with the trouble she's caused. But I am enjoying it.

I loved Greenlee so much prior to her infection by Ryan and think Rebecca's the tops. But the sparking intelligence that Greenlee had just withers into nothingness around Ryan and it really hurts the character.

I thought Greenlee admitting she took Spike, qualified those actions as wrong and why she could judge Annie's was a nice touch by Pratt. While her meager admission will still leave Greenlee hypocritical in some viewers eyes, she acknowledged a question the audience would naturally have (another example is when Angie confronted Jesse about him being with Rebecca for almost 20 years...how can he claim to have no feelings or walk away from them). The answers the characters may not be perfect, but they're spoken aloud. That to me is a big difference from The McTravesty Era. People rarely acknowledged their mistakes (Hello, Babe=Dead) and it was very frustrating for a lot of viewers. I am probably not explaining myself well.

I liked Colby, Brot and Petey is always good for cute and a smile from me.

Taylor and Jake, damn they're pushing it, but I enjoyed their goofy chemistry today in places.

I want to like JR. But he's so assy so often, I just can't. I miss when JR and Bianca were buds. I wish they could develop that again.

Annie's plan was stupid. Did she really think that Emma wouldnt tell Ryan she was with Di, which would then give Annie away? Aidan is equally as dumb for not realizing this either.

Didnt like Di pointing a gun at Annie though and I think its more bc I hate this new girl. She is just not Di for me

A-M-E-N. See, I don't have a problem with characters being hypocritical. Have characters as hypocritical as they want, because God knows, we do have hypocritical people in this world. And hell, everyone on this show has done some pretty terrible, STUPID things -- it is a soap after all -- but the show just needs to POINT THEM OUT to us, instead of trying to make us believe that they are completely pure and good and have no faults. That was McTavish's big problem. Pratt, on the other hand, seems to have no problem pointing out how stupid the characters have been in the past. But some viewers expect to the characters to be completely sane, rational, good, righteous human beings at all times. Puhlease. For instance, when people say, "How can you root for Annie when she is doing such horrible things!?!?!?!? She's a terrible mother," to which I say, "I am not trying to justify her actions! I'm saying she's highly entertaining to watch!" God forbid characters act imperfect on a SOAP OPERA.

And so I see sh.it like, "Oh, what Greenlee did is being whitewashed." Well, they did mention it today, so how in hades is that whitewashing? I guess ALL of the characters are whitewashed then. KENDALL ONCE LOCKED BIANCA IN A CRYPT AND THEY HAVEN'T MENTIONED IT SINCE 1995 WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAD SOME RELEVANCE!!! WHITEWASHING I TELL YOU!!!!!!

Mhm! When she stormed into Fusion last week, I thought that that was the best she's ever looked (outside of special occasions like parties, weddings, etc) since I've been watching the show.

Yes indeeeeeed. And let us not forget the practice of inserting "pod" in front of someone's name because they are friends with or close to a character that we are not particularly fond of. I don't think I've ever said "podMyrtle" despite the fact that I hated the Myrtle/Zach friendship (mainly because I hate Zach.......and Kendall, which is irrelevant but so what).

Oh, the conclusion I came to a long time ago (and I'm sure there are others who agree) is that the people who talk about how much they hate the show and they hate TPTB, yet they so passionately get into heated discussions about who is right and who is wrong and all that....those people are probably the folks who love watching the show every single day and enjoy it like crack right now, despite their constant claims to the contrary. They watch an episode, they lose their minds discussing that episode for hours, days, weeks, sometimes years after it has aired. Isn't that one of the things that soap opera (TV in general) is supposed to do? Hmm.......perhaps they're the ones drinking

. I know that if six characters are featured every single day and I can't stand any of those six characters, guess what! I'm not watching! "7th Heaven" shows reruns in that hour, folks!

Indeed. Erica/Susan is looking even greater than usual. Did yall see her on Jimmy Kimmel?? WOW.

Not like she's had any body fat for the last decade, but she's even trimmer post DWTS... those cheekbones are poppin Minshew style. DaytimeFan, what are we thinking about those cheeks? I thought maybe she had implants at one point, but now I'm thinking they're the result of weight loss, a good lift(s), and maybe fat injections.

Di didn't know what Annie was up to. Annie asked Di to watch Emma for her and Ryan. So, Di took Emma, and Annie and Aidan unleashed the kidnapping plot, with the intention of framing Di for the kidnapping. On Friday's show, we found out that Di had found out about the "kidnapping" through the news, and confronted Annie about it,

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
