Watching today's ep I have a few questions:

Does Jill not have a credit card? I would think she'd have an Amex Black card. And ALLher money is in the Cayman's? The IRS would find that highly suspicious to begin with.

Who is stupider? Adam, Victor or Ashley? He keeps the tape of the baby crying next to his bed? Botox under the bed? I always thought going blind would be one of the worst things ever, but the way weasel Adam gets around he makes it look like a piece of cake. And Victor can't tell Adam's lying? Really???

Heather still loves Adam. Why? Have they shown us why she loves him? This may sound shallow, but who would waste their time on a felon with no money, propsects or even a way to help themselves. Adam's hot but not that hot.

Was it me or was AH sleep-walking through the whole episode?

Hurry up May 15.....

I really, really enjoyed the "Cayman Comedy Caper". I loathe Jeff Bardwell, but seeing him in the midst of all that karmic trouble is fun. Sure, the comedy is broad, but it is a nice change of pace from some of the other tales.

I do wonder how Gloria will rebuild herself. We know she will...but how? And will she be in any way reformed by this humbling?

I have said I like/tolerate "fortress around my heart" for Mac...but why can't I STAND it for Victoria? (Who is playing something similar with her parents' relationships). I miss sneering, angry Victoria...loud, shrill, forceful.

I will also admit that Adam's turn to villainy is entertaining...but I still don't like it. I don't like how he is using/ruining all these people. And mostly, I don't like HOW pathetic it makes Heather. (That said, given her past, I totally understand how she is falling into this pattern. She fundamentally does not understand what a good man looks like).

Abby just annoys me. Just drives me BATTY. "...spoiling me rotten". Ugh. This character is NOT worthy of her "clan" or her predecessor.

Jack buying Savaneur out from Victor??? Now that is tiresome sh!t. I keep looking for some unique beat in the Victor-Jack feud. Or better yet, some common enemy for them. Needless to say, I really liked their brief (if fake) rapprochement during the epilepsy tale.

Maybe this will be the CLB "multiple years off" approach? I'm actually worried this villainization is a bit too close to what happened to some ATWT characters....

Yes. After Abby, Tyra, and probably Eden though.

THE REAL VICTORIA IS ACROSS THE HALL.

God knows I've tried, but I just can't accept what they're (not) doing to this show. Very little real effort is show to fix things and give stories momentum. In the end, it'll come ti bite them. BTW, why are you waiting for July to open that thread? I admit that right now it would be kind of too much since we've discussed it a whole lot in this weekly thread.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • 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.

      . 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.
