Loving these Lauren scenes...The writers are hitting every beat on this, including Michael's awkwardness at hearing about it.. I really hope when Jess is back we got some sort of mention from her.

Will someone please tell Abby to stop smiling.

Fantastic Lauren and Traci scene. Fantastic.

Phyllis at the grave by herself was AWESOME. So much ground covered (no pun intended!) in one scene. Great job!

Such a nice and surprising treat seeing Doris at the end of today's episode. I had no idea she was even coming back. At first, I thought Sharon was in a hotel room, just talking to herself, but then she kept going and going. At that point, I knew she had to be talking to someone. I thought about Doris, at first, but then I didn't remember seeing anything about her coming back, so I thought it was Nikki. But then I felt that would be kind of weird, Sharon pouring her heart out to Nikki about Brad, and then the camera panned down to Doris. Wonderful ending!

Oh my God. Traci and Lauren. Antoyne, I agree. FANTASTIC!

ETA: LMAO at Sharon the Klepto. Winona would be so proud.

I had to laugh when I saw that...It was so random.

Sharon and Phyllis- awesome

Tracie and Lauren-awesome

The ending with Sharon's mom- surprising and great

The rest of the show was tedious.

I saw no improvement in Tammin and she's a major weak link in this story. Forget her mediocre acting, but she's still severely miscast. She doesn't have romantic chemistry with any guys on the show nor does she share chemistry with her parents. Then as she gets upset her accept comes out more and more. Her body movement and everything seemed off in her scenes opposite Braeden. It was brave to put her up against him, but completely forgettable as well.

I've been most impressed with Beth Maitland and how well she fits into the show. Shame Brad is dead because that would be the perfect love interest for her. I'd been saying that for a long time, but now he's dead. Loved her interactions with everyone, especially Victor. She seemed slightly annoyed with him, but she smiled because she's polite and for Ashley's sake. I love how short she was with him. Everyone doesn't need to love and worship Victor and I like that the writers are acknowledging that these days.

I try to avoid the younger crowd on soaps, but I can't help but wonder how different Lindsey Fonseca would have played those scenes. Wasn't that crazy about Adrienne Leon, but Fonseca was a great Colleen.

I agree and it was the same figurine Victoria was admiring before right? It was very random. I was expecting someone to say something. Oh Sharon, I will enjoy watching you unravel bit by bit.

I think a cardboard cutout at this point would suffice ahead of Tammin.... so bad, so incredibly bad..... to see her even attempt to try and go toe to toe with Eric Braeden was just beyond cringe worthy....

What Sharon stole something? Damn, I'll have to re-watch that show online. That is, if the Global site isn't telling me I'm no longer a Canadian.

So, I'm guessing that the woman

Victor is speaking to at the end of tomorrow's US episode is Stacy Haiduk's new character that's supposed to be invovled with Jack. If so, what a great soapy set-up.

I believe she stole the figurine Victoria had given Brad for his birthday or something, which makes the theft even funnier to me.

Sharon's theft is apart of a much larger storyline for her, I wish I could give more details away. LOL!

Well, stealing things suddenly is usually a part of depression and a sign of a coming mental breakdown. The stealing is a way to get control for someone feeling like they have no control.

I did like Jack taunting Nick.

Whatever.
