And I seriously ain't interested in Kevin having to defend his actions yet again. It's been done before. And if they choose to have Jana's headaches turn her evil again, the it's another redo.

I have faith that Paul R/Maria B see the error of their ways with the Kevin and Neal stories; they are both big clunkers but still watchable compared to the crap on most other soaps. They need to wrap the Kevin story up quickly and move on. Let's give them a chance. I could do with out CB/Michael. His histrionic acting tells me he needs a long vacation with Anthony Geary in Amsterdam. Jana needs to be off teh canvas. Gloria and Jeff can work with better storylines.

I'm torn. Rikkart is a good actor, but the character is also overexposed. I would send him away to the funny farm for 5 years at LEAST, keep Michael around and give him and Lauren some drama to test their marriage (Maybe Eden could be a runaway or something?) I think Jeffrey needs to be GONE, SOMEHOW... and since Gloria didn't get her comeuppance and is not in jail right now, she needs to get EVERYTHING she wants in life, swimming in money from Victor, let everything go her way and have her happy as a clam for the next 3 months, and then she gets hit by a bus. Jana can be dropped to recurring, we can see her about as often as we see Gina.

You don't speak for all of us :-).

Honestly, I keep hoping that she'll have a little self-realization, APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY AND HEARTFELTLY for exposing the boys to Tom, and then start scheming to protect her cubs. She can still scheme...she should just be a little less self-serving.

But therein lies the problem with the soap audience. We're all freaking moralists. Why can't we just accept and enjoy bad people? We do in other genres. Why do the "bad" folks always have to die in a trash compactor?

There is something compelling about everyday evil, as it pretty much exists in the world. Some people never do the right thing.

The other thing is that Gloria really isn't always intentionally evil. She's reckless, and that is a far more compelling thing to watch. Amber is reckless too...and I just love that little kewpie.

When Gloria went to Jeff and said, "What did Kevin do to you?" All I could think is, it's all your fault BITCH. She's the one who subjected a toddler to torture at the hands of his father, because Tom must have stimulated her nether regions really good. Gloria should really learn to take some responsibility for how her sons have turned out and maybe then she'd be able to eventually redeem herself. This constant blaming of others for all her problems is pathetic and why she has worn out her welcome.

I really enjoyed Micheal and Kevin beating up Jeff. I still want Jeff gone though and he can take that troll of a wife with him.

And I agree with MarkH and Adam. The villains are the more interesting characters, which is why I am rooting for the Terminators :) This is why Gloria is not one of my faves, she's not a villain, she's a wannabe victim. Go Sheila, Go Phyllis, Go Tricia.....you BITCHES rock.

Mac never was one to smile much with the exception of Rachel Kimsey's Mac, which wasn't the actress' fault.

Billy Miller has brought his character to life and I hope that Clementine Ford gets the chance to do the same with Mac. I'm hoping they go the route of Kevin/Mac/JT, now wouldn't that bite Billy Abbott's ass after finding out that he is no longer related to Mac.

Agreed! LML made the mistake of trying to make the Baldwin/Fishers a core family.

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were even sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).
    •   Footballers Wives! That takes me back

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
