Stories in Prologue:

A. At the police station, JR's on the phone trying to get Adam to answer him. The other end hangs up. JR's escorted back into the interrogation room. Erica arrives and heads to the room but Jesse stops her. Erica says she's there to post JR's bail, but Jesse tells her the judge denied bail, claiming JR's a flight risk. Erica's worried about what's happening with Little Adam, and Jesse tells her that he's being well taken care of.

B. At the Hubbards, Angie's trying to get Little Adam to eat. Little A asks if his father is in jail, and Angie tells him he's at the police station. Little Adam wants his father and Angie tries to assure him that JR's doing everything he can to come back for him. Little Adam insists he wants to go home NOW and tries to bolt out of the loft when Natalia enters, stopping him.

C. David and Kwak are about to leave the hospital when Jake tells her that she's not being checked out. David isn't having it.

D. Ryan is challenging Zach. [ETA: Kendall presumably calls Zach, Zach wants to answer the phone, saying its his wife, and Ryan gloats she's about to be his ex-wife] Zach tells him that if he wants to bring Zach to his knees and destroy every thing he has, Ryan will have to kill him first -- and thinks Ryan doesn't have the brass to go through with it.

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

I forgot to mention Kendall called Zach in the prologue (she wasn't shown, though). Sorry for getting hopes up.

Anyway, this Judge Schmuck is incredibly spineless. How the hell did he ever become a judge? He just caves in to whatever threat happens to be hanging over his head... which seems to be many. I mean, damn, I know the legal system in Pine Valley is incredibly corrupt, but daaaaaaaayum!

Speaking of Kendall, is this nanny "Rachel" or is she someone else? Wasn't the previous Rachel younger and hotter -- fitting in with the Fusion Girls? I mean, I could be wrong, since we never see her.

Moving on... going back to corrupt law officials... how, exactly, does the Chief of Police have the ability to shelter a child in the middle of a custody case? Is it me, or does that kind of smell a little like CONFLICT OF INTEREST?! I'm not a law buff by any means... but this just seems a little, shall we say, ODD AND CONTRIVED AND NOT ENDEARING ME ANY MORE TO JESSE, WHO IS ON THIN ICE WITH ME FOR FRAMING DAVID TO BEGIN WITH!

Question -- Zach and Myrtle's photo in the casino reminded me... Does Kendall know that Myrtle's dead? Or did she wake up, have Erica fill her head with lies about Reese, and that's been the only thing she's focused on ever since?

I don't like Randi. I reeeally don't like how Angie just all of a sudden fell in love with her, either. If I couldn't be a bitch to Miss Pretty Woman, I kinda enjoyed living vicariously through Angie's bitch-ocity. It's not that I don't like Randi... it's just that I don't like her. The only use I have for her is that she's the tool to get Cornelius Smith, Jr. shirtless.

I did, however, enjoy Zach mentioning that technically it's Ryan and his big mouth that set up the chain of events that killed Greenlee.

It will justify the absurdity of Ryan blaming Zach. If Zach says "Yes, I killed Greenlee," then Ryan will feel vindicated -- because, deep down, he knows he's the one who put the chain of events into motion. Greenlee would never have been on the road that night if Ryan didn't not only run his mouth about, but EMBELLISH The Kiss.

Ryan's really transparent. Saran wrap is harder to see through than this idiot. He feels extraordinarily guilty about his involvement in the whole Death of Greenlee scandal, that he feels if he blames someone he hates, rather than himself or Kendall, it will be easier. He doesn't want to burden Kendall with the guilt because Ryan's already been through the dead wife/ruined marriage routine before. He knows that as soon as his wife is no longer a viable option, he walks around town with his penis hanging out looking for grief sex. Why alienate the only woman that would give it to him?

This reminds me... I just realized how disappoint this all turned out. The promo surrounding Greenlee's death made it seem like some epic tale was about to unfold... and it hasn't. All we've been witnessing is Ryan doing his hoarse whispering all around town.

Wouldn't it be great if Greenlee was alive and decided to pretend she was dead so she'd never have to be around Ryan, Kendall, or Zach ever again? She can still talk to Jack, none of them care about him anyway, they'd never know.

Isn't he, though? And it doesn't help matters that he's played by such a limited (to be kind) actor. Cameron and Aiden have probably the most unexpressive eyes/faces on this show. It's a sad thing to say that even Brianne Moncrief has a more expressive face than these two. Yet, they're thrown story after story, love interest after love interest... while Cornelius Smith, Jr. and Daniel Kennedy are saddled with two of the most limited actresses on this show in Denise Vasi and Moncrief.

I mean, seriously. Aidan gets coldcocked and falls to the floor... gets up and acts like he wasn't even fazed by it.

Anyway, I enjoy watching TK eat CM up in these lame ass confrontation scenes with Ryan and Zach. And that's coming from me... who can't stand either Zach or Ryan.

    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
    • Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists.  5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester Now for my comments. Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.
