Nick should [!@#$%^&*] off and go play with himself. JM is such a s h i t t y actor. MS was on again today but JM was no help at all. The kevin story is just beyond ridiculous and more f u c k i ng Kevin screaming...UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nick was NOT over Cassie when the affair started. He had closed off, gone on a cross-country chase for Daniel, buried evidence that would have exonerated Daniel. Seven months is NOTHING when it comes to the death of a child. Thus, the point stands: Cassie had JUST died. It was a mere twinkling of an instant in the heart of a grieving father.

To this day, Nick grieves. As Phyllis so succinctly pointed out today, Nick's grief continues to drive his actions, even now.

Oh no - I meant in the hallways. They could see Phyllis posing as a maid entering Sharon's room. If Sharon wasn't so bat-sh*t crazy and confessed, she could have totally gone along with Jack's plan of saying the stolen items were planted - BY PHYLLIS. Not true of course, but nobody does CYA better than Jack Abbott!

Seven months is not a long time at all to grieve a dying child. Nick was still vulnerable, and his marriage was still haunted by that loss, and the impact lingers on to this day.

Nick and Phyllis never had any emotional dept to their relationship, it was all just hot sex and distraction, IMO.

Nick was perfect..seriously. Not playin' with ya.

He tried to be sensitive, but could find the words. He's torn...literally...unsure where to turn. "He loves two chicks"...that's the essential throughline for Nick.

Haven't you ever been torn? Utterly trapped on the horns of a dilemma? It causes a kind of paralysis...and that's a part of what we're seeing in Nick. He's guarded, unsure of what is the right thing to do.

I do not see a single morsel of evidence that he was s h * t t y. What I see is that he is giving a restrained performance. It is so easy to under-credit that. I'd much rather see this than Nick crying or howling or grimacing. Morrow's come a long way to be able to play the quiet shame of these moments.

OMG. Did you not watch those flashbacks recently where college-Nick was professin' love to Sharin', and then showing her their house, and so forth.

Goofy, moony grin. Sappy. No basis in the reality of how a man would do that.

This is in contrast to what we see now. He's not doing "soap cute"...he's doing real.

I COMPLETELY disagree that "anyone" can play quiet shame. I defy you to find a single actor on DOOL or B&B or (outside of TSJ) OLTL who can do that. (I mean, sure, you can probably find 1-2 on each show, but you know what I mean...). JM is head and shoulders above most of his daytime peers.

MarkH - the way i see Noah and Eden fitting in is perfect irony. These kids' two familes are an absolute mess. Yet here we have two sort-of mature teens having a loving, responsible relationship while Sharon/Nick/Phyllis are having the most immature, destructive, irresponsible relationship in town. Throw in the fact that Eden's brother (who's really sort of like her father-figure now) is mostly absent because of all the troubles his family members are in and you kind of get a cool irony of the kid's are alright - the parents are NOT!

By thw way - I love seeing Jana and Michael together. And what is up with those headaches! i'm surpised no one has said - holy crap that 1% of tumor left might be growing and Jana might go crazy and kill people again.

I didn't say he was over her death, but it had been many months since she died. Often these posts read like Phyllis was sniffing around him right after they put her in the ground. Phyllis and Nick came full circle with their own relationship in that time. He worked harder on closure with Daniel and Phyllis than he did with Sharon.

She was over-the-top but it worked for me for the character at the time although, I must admit, after that, I couldn't stand Dru.

Damnit, don't be such a tease, do tell!!!! And is he better looking in person!?

It was painful and was the chimunk's voice Adrienne Frantz?

I had no idea that Christmas would come this early for me this year...but whoever is penning this Shick SATIRE and making their DIRT RISE TO THE TOP, I would like to say BRAVO and you have to take a bow!! I did not think the show had the gumption to write this but boy was I ever wrong!!

And Michelle Stafford is just PHENOMENAL :wub: ...and Joshua played a man absolutely confused and captured Phyllis's anger, hurt and pain entirely with his eyes and his flinches. He was great!! The writers needn't have given him any words for me to see it all..oh wait a second, they didn't!! :lol:

      I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      Jason and hemming and hawing about Sidwell taking over and being ruthless

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.

      With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.

      It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.

      PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.

      They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.

      I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?

      I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.

      Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
