Oh, I know how you feel, Ann. It's just a soap, but it still inspires rage in me at how little TPTB think of the audience. I will give Geary kudos, though, for looking absolutely devastated at Lucky's reaction to the Teethan-is-mah-true-loveson news.

And another Geary plus: Luke's chemistry with Epiphany. "Hello, my exotic flower." I actually sort of love it.

And since I'm on the nice train, how about we give a round of applause to Laura Wright's hair which was looking sensational yesterday? Seriously! She looked gorgeous.

On the downside: Natalia Livingstone is starting to look increasingly like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana with her blonde hair. And Jane Eliot looks like a man with hers combed over her eyes.

I have to see I quite enjoyed yesterday's episode with Nik and Emily Rebecca painting her apartment and her standing on his back to correct his backpain, Nik getting his foot caught in a paint bucket etc. A refreshing change from all the constant drama, "OMG you look like Emily", "OMG you must be Helena's plant" that we've had since Natalia Livingston came back.

the scenes in the waiting room were quite nice also. Nice to see Jax, Carly, Jason and Sonny united for once instead of arguing.

The "funny" scenes between NotEmily and Nikolas were not as funny as the show obviously thought they were. They kept playing that "Look! It's funny! Laugh, you morons, laugh!" music to cue us in on the ha-ha. However, it is obvious that NL and TC are comfortable with each other and that showed. Especially when NotEmily put some music on and Nik started wiggling his tush to it.

I also liked yesterday's show as it felt like Real Family Drama to me. I think I even liked Sonny and the fact that Sonny and Jax put aside their hatred in order to be supportive and Do What's Best.

LOL at Patrick using the World's Smallest Scalpel to cut into Michael's skull.

I may be alone in this but....

Everything Claudia is saving this show, she has really drawn me back into this crapfest disguised as a soap opera lol. I just love SJB's humor she brings to Claudia, and although Claudia is so guilty, I feel for her and I don't want her to get caught.

And im loving her in the waiting room with Sonny, Carly, Jason, and Jax. She is becoming the bright spot on this show, for me.

I bitched about Claudia and Sarah Brown big-style a few weeks ago. I don't what it is I am smoking lately, though, but I am liking the fact that she is all Lady MacBeth at the moment. She is driving story and she's not afraid to make Claudia look bad. This is quite a departure for a show that shows its shrewish characters doing unspeakable things and then urges us to root for them. :lol: (like they had somebody yapping about Carly's "amazing maternal instinct" on Thursday and I just had to LMAO). I don't feel that way with Claudia and so, right now, I can just sit back and enjoy her machinations.

BTW, did anybody see on Thursday when Michael was being wheeled into surgery and Claudia tried to stroke his cheek and Jason just gave her this death-glare and almost karate-chopped her hand away? :lol:

Exactly Cat...you and I are kinda on the same page here lol. The best way for a soap to make us root for a character, is by not forcing the fact that there actually "decent" down or throats! Although, you can tell she feels genuinely bad about what she did to Michael, its obvious she cares more about what happens to her lol.

And the fact that no other characters are trying to prop her up, makes watching her even more likable (unlike when they try to pull that proping crap with Jason, Sonny, and Carly).

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see.
