David Tom might be the slightly better actor; but visually I much rather buy him for the child of fierceness personified, Jill Foster Abbott, and John Abbott. Billy Miller and Peter Bergman are as much brothers as are Greg Rikaart and CLB.

Therefore I'm thrilled by Billy Miller and will for once say that in this case he's better to look at than David Tom and therfore my Billy of choice. LOL!

Snoretoria and BoreMeToTears are still alive? Who cares!? :P

As for MTS: Even as a "reformed" Nikki/MTS (ONLY acting-wise though, still hate that b*tch) supporter, I find her off-screen and on-screen wardrobe very hookerish.

Still waiting for much more Nikki & Paul though - that's a romance I want to see. Skip the Winters & Baldwin dramas...

If one can believe the rumors, they may not have been investing much in Paul because they didn't know how long he'd be around. Having decided, I presume, that he will be around--they can then invest in his story more.

I LOVED the Jack and Gloria scenes today. Both of them are such compulsive liars, and it's nice to see Gloria so stressed and burnt out. LOL!

Eileen Davidson looked great today. She's very stunning when her hair is straightened out.

I also LOVED those Jill and Ashley scenes at Jabot. Lot's of bitchy tension. The dialogue was fierce.

The Katherine and Murphy scenes were sweet. I really like their dynamic. Murphy's world of going to be tuned upside down when he learns that it was Marge who died.

That ring Katherine pawned is a story onto itself. We know Katherine left it to Nikki in her will, and Nikki reported it stolen and there's an investigation opened on it. I wonder where this is going to lead.

The Heather and Adam scenes were really good too.

Very good episode overall, and tomorrow looks great as well. Can't wait to see Ashley berate Gloria in prison. LOL!

The same person that shook up other actresses to start acting again probably took a shot at Vail and look at the results... ;)

Also, I know this was said many times, but Vanessa Marano is just way better than Sanders. Can you image what we would have to endure if Sanders continued playing the role during the recent scenes?

I also thought this.

I'm thinking more of a "who SHOT Gloria" storyline. Not only might we get a primo whodunit (I'm worried though...Scott Hamner is still there...), but it could (if it sufficiently devastates Gloria's life) be the start of a humility-and-redemption storyline for her.

I only hope Jeff is the perpetrator, and leaves our blessed Genoa City FOREVER, preferably in the manner akin to his brother.

Jeff and Gloria should both be gone. She gets killed, Jeff kills her and gets sent to prison.

Honestly I wouldn't care if they wrote out Kevin/Jana too... they are pointless. Then the project of Michael Baldwin's extened family can be put to rest....Kevin is Glo's little lapdog anyway. Once she is gone what is left for him? If we do get a Glo murder mystery how much do we want to bet Jack gets accused and possibly framed for it?

Once again, I have to talk about how well produced this show is again. The intense old-school scores are great, and some of the newer scores are great and in the classical tradition.

Also, the transitions between scenes is effortless. The production values are just top notch. The directing is also really good and has gotten much tighter since Rauch arrived. Also, little things like wardrobe, hair, and make-up have all vastly improved. It's all very noticeable for a year and even 6 months ago. Latham and Griffith tried to make this show look like an ABC soap (cheap-looking as hell), not the lush and advanced aesthetic masterpiece it's supposed to look like and looks like right now. This show looks BEAUTIFUL on HDTV!

      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.

      That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!

      Does anyone know of a place where I could watch older episodes of RC??? I really would love to watch more of this show, and I would decide if I would join the save River city campaign, I HATE when soaps are killed, but sometimes you should let them go too
