Prologue:

A. Annie Room Oakhaven: DPU: Annie wakes up to find Tori. Tori claims she's the only one who can help Annie. Annie wants Tori to leave before Aidan sees her. Aidan wakes up and asks who she's talking to. Tori's gone.

B. Hospital Corridor: Brot runs into Taylor at the hospital. Taylor asks if he could keep her company. Brot asks whats up and she hands him papers. It's her discharge papers. Taylor's been declared "medically unfit." She's pissed because she's willing and ready to go back and can't go. Frankie isn't and he's on his way back.

C. Frankie and Randi Apartment: Frankie's somber and Randi quietly embraces him.

D. Hubbard Loft: Lil' A runs in to see JR. He finds out he's been there the entire time. Angie hopes he understands but he says he doesn't need to understand. Just thanks.

E: ConFusion Bar: Opal's circling around Kwak. Opal comments on the nasty bruise. Kwak says she's fine. Opal gives cosmetics advice about covering up the bruise. She's all too familiar with what it's like when you've married monster.

F: Wildwind: Tad's threatening David. What kind of loving role model comes home from a custody hearing and decks his wife. David denies hitting her. Things got out of hand. Tad blames David for Kwak's mental state and David says he hates himself for it.

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

I just got through watching the episode from earlier this month where Tad grabbed and shook Krystal just like David did. They both suck for it. But it's hard to have David being jacked up for by an equally guilty hypocrite. I hate like hell they've crossed this line with Dr. Dave.

I've been losing interest in Aidan and Annie but I was really feeling it for a while.

Love Opal but Krystal, acting so clueless about abuse doesn't make sense, at least for earlier incarnations of the character.

Aidan is evidently a completely trained psychologist or psychiatrist now. Like Zach was a blindness rehab expert.

I really like the Hubbard, JR and A 3.0 scenes.

That's when I turned off the television. I was getting too aggravated, and since I was watching live to get the prologue, I can't fast forward through the crap that irritates me. Not even a Kate Hall script (which, I have to say, was exceedingly heavy handed in the LET'S BLAME DAVID FOR EVERY ILL IN PINE VALLEY department -- which is usually Rebecca Taylor's trademark) can salvage the craptastic plotting of this storyline. The nerve of Tad racing over to defend the honor of a woman he's cast aside and treated like crap and choking David because, well, David did the exact same thing to Kwak that Tad did... Ugh! And then... the audacity of this asswipe actually having the brass to be sanctimonious and say "no" when David said something along the lines of "as if you've never been pushed too far" or something along those lines. Yeah, bitch. Burying a man alive and killing him is TOTALLY playing by the rules!

EWWWWWWW he makes me so mad. And it's sad to say because I genuinely do have a soft spot in my heart for MEK and I enjoy that he's getting so much work and is allowed to be dramatic instead of the buffoon all the time... but I've been soooo over Tad for 10 years, now. And every day that goes by just makes it so much more impossible for me to enjoy him.

At least with Zach, he goes a little too far, but then he pulls himself back. He goes a little too far, and then pulls himself back.

But with Jake, Tad and Ryan, those three idiots cross a zillion lines, become incredibly INDIGNANT and self righteous when challenged on crossing those lines, and then expect a quart of blood, genital mutilation and admission in six different languges when someone else does something (or the exact same thing) to them.

Yes, doll. We've been there. Jokes about her being the Ugly Betty version of a Kane Woman -- or how another Kane Woman should freak Reese out when her eyesight came back by having Tori pretend to be that Kane Woman...

I still can't get over Dr. R. Sinclair. <_<

David is NO RAY GARDNER. Tad has shown more Ray Gardner tendencies than David. I mean... MADDEN IN A DAMN BOX, ANYONE?! ANYONE AT ALL?!

Everybody keeps harping on David and Libidizone, but all that did was make people horny! I don't know WHY, of all things, MADDEN IN A DAMN BOX keeps getting swept under the rug! Not to mention the fact that he did everything in his power to railroad Zach and Dixie to save his own ass from being punished for the crime, and then vindicated them in the eleventh hour! Tad's a horrible man, no matter how "noble" his incredibly MISGUIDED intentions were.

Tad's constantly accosting David. David's an ass... that's fine. But every single time David says something Tad doesn't like, Tad takes it to the extreme and either punches him or tries to choke him. I'll never forget that time in the massage parlor back in 2001 when he snuck up on David and tried to strangle him with a towel. Or the time "Ghost Jesse" had to stop Tad from going after David with an effin' HAMMER! A HAMMER, PEOPLE!

This dude has serious issues!

Just when I think I can't find yet another reason to love you :D I totally agree.... I don't really agree with Pratt's take on David, but he continues to write Tad as a sanctimonious hypocrite.... which is just ten times as worse.... at least with David Hayward..... its unapologetic... and all out in the open.

I'm so glad to get a break from Zach/Kendall/Ryan! :D

No, David isn't as evil as Ray Gardner but from Opal's perspective it makes sense since she's seeing Krystal bruised and possibly lying about what really happened. I'm disturbed that Opal thinks Tad is going to have to save Krystal. I want him as far away from KWAK as possible!

I appreciated Brot & Taylor comforting Randi but again, it makes me wish they would recast her part, especially with today's foreshadowing of Frankie being "killed" in Iraq. A good actress would make me care.

Tori reminds me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch's friend. Sorry I can't recall the name of either the character or the actress.

It might just be me but I'm intrigued by Annie's remembering blood on her hands as a child. I wish this storyline would get pushed onto the frontburner to give Z/K/R a much-needed rest!

    • 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.
