I LOVED the music used in Friday's US episode. Also, the exchanges between Ashley and Nikki were great, Melody and Eileen have really good bitch chemistry and always have.

I can't wait for everything to blow up in Phyllis' face, because her schemes always do.

LOL at Sharon kicking Jack out of his own house.

The show just has such a extra lush look, sound, and feel to it lately, I love that.

Jack is a spineless turd as well, he should have refused to leave and told Sharon that she can go stay in the guest room if she wants to but it is his families house, not hers. Sharon always has been a greedy bitch when it comes to houses. I think my hatred for her increased when she was sizing up Nikki's house and thinking it would some day be hers. Then when she tried kissing all over Victor to make her ranch house dreams a reality, there was no turning back.

Phyllis really should have told Nick that she was in Paris and saw the kiss when he asked her what was up. She should have then told him that if he wants their marriage, Sharon is going to have to find someone else to run to. But then this is a stupid soap and people can't be honest about their feelings.

I just watched the first takeover episode written by the amazing Melissa Salmons. I guess everything you've said about her was true, she's a great script writer.

Something that I never thought I'd admit actually happened---I wasn't bored during the Winters/Hamilton scenes.

I love seeing more of Esther, and Kay at the diner was also very interesting.

It was wonderful to see Gloria surprise everyone at the takeover meeting, and what will happen in the upcoming is just making it even more enjoyable.

Usually Gloria and Jeff have the most funny lines, but Chloe has definitely changed that:

Chloe (to Jill): Cane said that he would be here. He promised. And if he doesn't, you're going to be great. And it just so happens that you are under the perfect light in the entire house. And if you need me, I can always stand next to you.

Chloe (to Colleen): What are you doing here? Do you even know how to spell "Stockholder"?

Chloe: The place looks great.

Jill: Oh, thank you. Thanks.

Chloe (to Cane, after Jill leaves): Wow, your mom must be really freaking because she was just civil to me.

Wow, we actually had a "The role of Eden is now being played by Vanessa Marano." I hadn't heard a voiceover like that for a loooong time.

Can I just say how happy I am that we no longer have excessive minutes spent on Restless Style? I guess Arena got smarter when it came to that or something. It will probably be used in minor storylines (

), but dropped even more now that Daniel and Amber left.

And on the other side, with Victor being in jail and

I guess they've also realized they don't need River anymore. (

) Are they dropping the character or something?

I had no time to keep it up. It's still all on the site, but just not published. I prefer to just post the counts here. If I had more time, I'd continue doing it.

I won't repeat what everybody said here re: absolutely everybody in the Takeover scenes, except to say "I agree." They were spine-tinglingly good.

Small observation: a lot of the music during the Jabot scenes had a pronounced 80s feel to them. So much so, they reminded me of Santa Barbara's background music. Not surprising, considering that Rauch was EP for that show, too.

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were ever sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
