Okay, you know, I know that's kinda against the grain for someone to feel for Krystal in this situation and to point out the Chandler/Gardner clan's BS, but for JR to hop up and scream about child negligence like he didn't run all kinda of diabolical plans that put Little Adam's life in danger is ridiculous. I do not deny that Krystal has been a crappy mother to Jenny and Kathy over the last couple of months, but for JR to be all holier-than-thou, even if he's drunk, rubs me the wrong way.

I love Opal's deadpan delivery of "Two-timing junkie." And what do you know, there's my boy getting ready to light dis mutha up!

And also, is it really a big deal that a bunch of pills fell out of her purse? If I dropped a bottle of tablets, they'd spill all over the counter too...

Jake: Don't have to be a beyatch.

HAHAHAHA!! Goldin is having more fun at AMC than he had in his last three years at GL.

The courtroom scenes were great but I kept wishing Joe (with or without Ruth), Angie and Jake had shown up, too. I agree that the highlight was Opal on the stand worried that her granddaughters were being raised by a "two-timing junkie."

I was surprised When Zach approached Joe about the transplant list. Now that he's no longer Chief of Staff, what position does Joe hold at the hospital? I thought he had retired.

I loved Erica squaring off against Zach. I hope this is foreshadowing for when Kendall comes out of the coma and learns about Gabrielle.

Amanda's pregnancy should make for a great storyline with the three potential daddies!

Steve,

I thought that scene with Joe was so random. For one like you said he has retired and hasn't even been at the hospital. Plus with Jake and Angie working to get rid of David you would think they would have had a scene with Joe talking to one of them about why he retired, but we haven't even got that.

Then he shows up there with Zach when really in truth he would have been better used in scenes with Tad at the court.

I really have a feeling they have cut MacDonnell back on his guarantees so much that he will never be used in a effective way anymore. His scenes made sense before but the one here made no sense at all.

Adam teaming up with TadAss is all kinds of wrong since it was TadAss was the one that cheated with KWAK and rubbed Adam's face in it whenever he got the chance. I did enjoyed watching Adam taking the stand and testifying against KWAK, calling her wanton home wrecker.

JR should have been thrown out of the court room.

The Fetus has clearly LOST his marbles.

Kill Zach Kill!!

I'm so mixed on the show right now--for the first time since Pratt joined. I admit I still find it as entertaining as I have in ages--maybe more so. It's great to watch the show and realize there are all these interconnected yet DIFFERENT stories going on--not liek the past few years where it always felt like ONE AND THE SAME STORY on all the time.

But the show right now feels an odd mix of Pratt's almost Melrose Place style plot based plottign and great character based stuff and I'm a bit ill at ease with it. I oddly love all the Krystal/David/JR/AManda stuff--and I'm not quite sure why. But I wish they had found another direction than this pregnancy thing for Amanda--I love she has story but it's so tried and obvious, and plus Amanda's not fun when she doesn't drink and she can't drink when pregnant ;)

I sorta love the Annie nuts story but I still think the hospital is way too Passions. Maximum Security has a grate that opens RIGHT on another patients room where you're so close you can see each other? What the Hell? Sigh. It's just too simplistic writing for me--yet I find the story and the direction it's going intriguing.

And Josh. Yes I like the character despite his origins and feel a son of Erica, and the actor, deserve more but I really don't like his sudden return promising Kendall he'll get revenge (where did THAT come from) and all these other wacky out of character things just ofr a bit story. Sigh.I also think if they didn't kill him off--which is I asusme without spoilers where they're going--there'd be way more story potential here. Oh well

Don't get me wrong--I'm still enjoying my show and I hate to complain after the crap we've gotten for years but... Y'know, I gotta speak up. (And yeah the trial stuff was great, LOVE Opal lately, even like all the backburner stories lately like Randi's past coming to haunt her, Petey and Colby, Brok and Taylor, Jake floating around becoming the town drunk biotch, etc etc...)

I heard that he';s still one of the higher paid actors--which shocked me but even after the cut. I guess that's too much to hope for though.

Oh and YES even if it was just brief LOVED seeing Livia--Tonya P is one of THE most talented Broadway actresses alive right now, it's shocking )albeit not too surprising) AMC has her and doesn't use her.

That is so in Adam's character though. He has even teamed up in the past with Palmer who he hates. Adam will team up with anyone to get what he wants. Right now he hates David more than he hates Tad.

If only the fetus could get one good shot off at Zach before he completely loses his marbles. I know that would make a lot of fans happy. :lol:

I have heard that too Eric, but I also heard that while he is still one of the higher paid per episode performers that his guarantees got cut too - which means he will still get paid a good bit for the eppys he is in but he won't be around as much.

I just hope they choose to use him more effectively the next time around.

Several of the characters did use the word retired though.

Well it's about time someone realized that not only is she typically soap opera beautiful but she is a decent actress and character (it's a shame McTavish killed off her dad, and her mom hasn;'t been on in ages... Bring Janet back for more cameos--maybe even have a storyline with Amanda trying to live with Janet again? Would be entertaining and socially aware--and bring back timmy too :) )

It's founny Frons never pimped her as she seems his type. Odd.

Steve Frame I'm not TOO worried about Joe--pratt seems fond of the character.

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16N2KPYDxR/ During the livestream tribute to #DrakeHogestyn we discussed the taping of #JohnBlack funeral scenes on Days of our Lives beautifully stated by his TV children Eric Martsolf Martha Madison
    • 1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.
