Angela Tessinari (thanks Kubla!)

Prologue:

A. Confusion Bar: Jake and Amanda are going over the adoption with the attorney. He asks if Amanda needs to rethink this in case she changes her mind. Amanda won't change her mind. She needs the adoptive parents to take over as soon as baby is born. The attorney asks if the baby's father's on board? Jake and Amanda are silent. The guy says legally cant proceed without his okay.

B. Wildwind: David gives Kwak some Promotional Consideration Provided by Florida Orange Juice. He says it's a beautiful morning after a beautfiul night. Krystal's silent. David asks if she's alright? Kwak knows David is worried about what people are thinking. Kwak's not laying blame, it's nobody's business. David is sure the Martins will use this to help JR get Little Adam.

C. Hubbard Loft: Little Adam runs in and mumbles something to Jesse, Angie and Natalia.

D. Tad House: Tad and JR are salivating over needing to get a picture of Kwak's bruise to prove David is a maniac. Opal enters saying that won't happen.

E. Ugly Ass Casino Bar: Zach brings Myrtle's photo back into the bar. Erica enters and congrats Zach on getting the casino back, but hints that Ryan still got away with something... being Kendall.

F. Slater House: Rendall are cuddling. Ryan calls Kendall bright eyes. Kendall says she's feeling a little less bright this morning, refering to herself as Ryan's real life trophy, and walks away.

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

Did someone lose their day job, R? :(

I'm surprised Angie/Jesse would lie to Little A and then allow him to skip school and make it seem like that's ok to do. And is Natalia kidding - what kid would find sitting on the fire escape looking at cars drive by fun???

Rendall - puke. Zach - puke.

Love seeing Opal.

Thanks, y'all... but eh, well! Found out 3 weeks later another coworker who I am close with got her walking papers after SEVEN YEARS! I had only been there two and was up for a raise in seven days. No such thing as coincidences! Good news is that I have been able to throw myself back into my writing. I got a nice severance, saved a few dollars and have a healthy income tax refund this year, so I have a little time to catch my breath and see where the next door of opportunity takes me.

Anyway, back to the show.

That Martin house. God, oh God why does Krystal do that to herself (she's a dumbass, that's why)? Hell, at this point, if I were her, I'd just say "Tad, meet me at the park or Gymboree or something." Every time she steps foot in that house to see Jenny, those imbeciles rake her over the coals with their sanctimonious judgment! I mean, really. They really are NOT thinking about Krystal. JR's out for himself. Tad's out for revenge, and Opal's just using this as a free therapy session to discuss all of her Ray Garder history.

Angie and Jesse... y'all were cute for a minute, but keep on breaking laws and acting all smug, I'll be cheering David on to take y'all down! Playing dirty is never a good way to play... I mean, if you want to be smug and superior to someone else who plays dirty, that is.

Sorry. Can't buy into Jake/Amanda. He dropped her to go sniffing after Taylor. Then called her all kinds of hookers and whores. Now, he's her savior?

Ryan... suck eggs and choke, bitch!

I do have to say I loved that whole Zach/Kendall/Ryan scene.

Ryan: "I have to go pick up Emma."

Zach: "When you come back... Family meeting!" :lol:

When Zach opened the door to Erica, the lighting and wardrobe was FAB! She positively glowed in that shot!

With all the talk about Krystal's fall, especially between JR, Tad & Opal, it occurred to me that David can easily counter by subpoenaing Bianca to tell the court how JR "pushed" her off the balcony a few years ago. Imo, it was very similar to what happened to KWAK.

It was just a matter of time before David figured out that Jesse & Angie had Little A. I hate when supposedly smart characters act so stupid! Now David can hold this over their heads indefinitely.

Zach bossing Kendall around makes me hate him even more. Isn't it odd that the show is hinting at abuse between David & Krystal while showing Zach exerting his control over his wife Kendall and insisting she follow his orders? If any relationship on AMC shows the classic signs of turning abusive, this is the one. It's disgusting how Erica keeps pimping them!

I'm still enjoying his work quite a bit, and I think that things are going to pick up once Adam and Liza blow back into town. My main complaint is the mess than is Kendall/Ryan/Zach, and I feel those characters are seriously draining the life out of the show. Things 'felt' much better when Kendall was in a coma, and her hiatus proved that the show can, yes, survive without her.

    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis.
