Sappy is awful always...

- when Cane is sappy with Lily

- when Jack is sappy with any woman (currently Sharon)

- when Michael is sappy with Lauren

Good romance can be cool to watch. Lauren and Michael are capable of snappy, not sappy. But it often devolves to this eyerolling crap.

realized how much still love her(Lilly) and she love him, and that she will take evey opportunity to get him back from her backstabbing hands.

I don't want to see Billy and Lilly together, he just want Lilly becaue he can't stand Cane.

We're supposed to consider Lilly and Cane some kind of super couple, but there was never anything super about them for us to care about a reunion. I'm rooting for the good actors in this tale.

Chloe is quite advanced in her pregnancy, it seems they are rushing it along. Maybe it is those Abbott genes since Jill delivered a full term Billy at 7 or 8 months along. Didn't Jill also fall off a ladder during her pregnancy? You'd think these Billionaires could hire a hunky painter, but it always seems to me that the richer people are, the more penny pinching they become.

Sorry Toups for not using the spoiler tags.

Does the Global Media player make Sharon's voice sound more whiny or did I just never notice it before?

After Phyllis and Jack's conversation midway thru, both knowing the other is guilty, I kept hoping they'll be hitting the sheets soon. It is amazing how two great actors can play off each other. Same with Jack and Ashley later in the epi but their chemistry is anything but romantic. It has been years since Eileen has had writing like this to sink her teeth into and she runs with it. Her exasperation at Jack is spot on.

The only time that CK actually did ok in this episode is when she starts screaming at Chloe. Earlier she was feigning innocence at Chloe's comments about her constantly putting herself in Cane's path, but her rapid blinking told the real story. It comes across to me like this entire character is a lie, hiding an inner bitch just waiting to escape. If this show was smart the writers would let the bitch out.

No fair Americans get to watch the Canadian broadcast... we can't watch any of the US ones, even shows like SNL on NBC that a **CANADIAN** started, and so many great Canadians got their start on, as far as I'm concerned, that's egregious.

When I go to watch online it first says sorry this is only available to residents in Canada, and then it plays OK.

I am LOVING Ashley, she's so good right now, CK is whiny and ridiculous and I dont give a damn about Lily and Cane, they should both eat [!@#$%^&*] and die.

Yeah, I figured that was another possibility, but I was hoping they wouldn't find out until after the baby is born. I don't think it's the right time for this to be revealed. You need to build up the Cane/Billy rivalry even more.

    • I like that this episode highlighted the ramifications of what Eva and her rotten mama did. They were so focused on Ted and Nicole, not even realizing that other people would be affected. Eva thought nothing of what she did to Mona bc she was sure no on would hold anything against her but Mona is right in that they ruined her reputation with the Duprees. They dont blame her but they will likely never trust her judgement again. She has to walk by them feeling the guilt and shame that she'll never live down bc she unknowingly played a role in the hell that was unleashed. Not to mention the trauma and trust issues she no has bc she genuinely viewed Leslie as a friend   And poor Laura nearly died when she had that car accident and then had a heart attack and infection bc she was poisond. She's been recuperating for 3 months. She missed her trip to Hawaii and no idea what impact this has done on her relationship and her own plans but no on was thinking about that.   Eva and Leslie need to be made to feel like ish bc this was bigger than just Ted and Nicole

    • Understand your point.  But I usually see Reginald's mustache twirling villainy as ultra campy bordering on comedic (albeit unsuccessfully).  And upon Reginald's exit, most of the overt camp/comedy seemed to cease. And although I'm aware camp and comedy are not exactly the same thing, I tend to throw them together anyway -- especially when discussing soaps.  You are correct, Mary was not played for laughs.  When I used to term "let's play everything for laughs" I didn't mean literally everything or every character was comedic. But TPTB put so much effort into comedy, it did tend to eat the show for a few years (again not literally). I'm just expressing my perspective on the topic, and lots of folks probably disagree.  That's cool. People who like comedy on soaps tend to defend it, and folks who don't like comedy (or think it want too far) tend to criticize it.  Whichever side of the fence one is on, it sure didn't help the ratings on AW. 
    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
