Just saw Tuesday's show and Traci had a fabulous line...

...about the Jabot situation: "There seems to be a plot a plot twist we aren't seeing yet..." LOL!

Need to comment on Brad's funeral: First of all, these episodes have been nothing but great. Very deserving for a lgeacy character. Heck, they even through Tracey Bregman a bone and Lauren was allowed, gasp, to show up at a place which is not her home/Crimson Light/Atheltic Club without Michael... Loved the Traci interaction; yet I kinda missed some more depth as how close Lauren & Brad once there. This fell kinda short, just like Nikki's absence.

The whole Cabin fallout with Jack & Phyllis is great. Stafford is really good (once for a change) and Phyllls is sooo losing it - love it!

Then, Colleen going off on the Moustache was great. Tammin Sursok has been pretty solid in the afternath of Brad's death for the first time since she joined the show. Ironically, she was always most convincing to me in scenes with Billy Miller who is helping several leading ladies now to built on their performances (Christel Khalil is lightyears better acting-wise with him than with the lacklustre Daniel Goddard).

The odd-man-out item on this show right now definitely is JT & Snoretoria Blandstrom. They feel so ostrocized, don't fit at all, have no rooting value. Compared to them all the Winters stuff & relationships are thriller material... I liked however recently when JT mentioned he felt - exactly as I put it above - uncomfartable as only been seen as Mr. Mom/Vickie's husband. Now that's sth. they could built a story on. However, the only thing to get my interest peaked would be JT messing around with Abby. Now that would be shocking and a jump-start to make these characters more interesting.

Today's show was so good! Kay is NOT related to Jill! They should never have been made mother and daughter so this is a step in the right direction. I had a feeling Clint was gonna do something to Kay. No way could he be back in the picture and not do something to Kay. I like the wat that this storyline is tying so many characters to it. A true ubrella storyline.

And CK was actually kinda...good in her scene with Billy and Chloe where she went off. It's about time that girl got some spine. And Sharon is really going off the deep end. She looked kinda crazy when she told Nick to have a happy V-Day. She looked like she could have spit nails. And the look that came over her when she stole the little whatever from NE...homegirl looked glazed over with crazy.

She hasn't stolen anything from Jack yet....

She kissed Victor, so I guess she'll have to steal something from the ranch as well..... if Sharon plans to take a little memento from every man she's slept with, this will take a long, long while.

MarkH - you blew my mind with your "Gloria is Kay's daughter" theory. I have been racking my brain to figure out why the Fishers/Baldwins are getting so close to Kay. If you're right - a lot of people will be SO mad. I can totally see how they could go there.

As for the Patty/Tawny merge, i'd love it too, but that would make Amber and Kevin cousins and it looks like there's something happening there.

I'm still pondering the whole Mystery Woman thing too. Victor is getting very dark and sinister. it seems to me that for all Victor's faults, he's never been someone to orchestrate big non-business maneuvers. This is a page from Stefeno's book. And seeing him flat out lie to Ashley about Jill's takeover of Jabot, it was a little shocking.

How would Patty being Tawny make Amber and Kevin cousins?

I so don't want anyone to be made Katherine's daughter. That's the kind of stupid writing that got us here to begin with. Besides, with Esther/Chloe we've already had one character on canvas turn out to be an established characters child, we don't need another.

Maybe instead of Alzheimer's or dementia, Katherine is just suffering from a brain pickled by alcohol.

    • They’ve been really nailing the fall out super well and your whole post really highlights some of the great parts and ramifications we’re seeing.
    • 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
    • On May 12, 1989, the Dynasty series finale aired.

    • 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.
