that's exactly my thought. Bobbie proved again today why Krystal is still kicking. Those scenes WOWzer. Marissa A totally gets props--I didn't know what she would do when these scenes played out, but she rocked. And Krystal works for me even more when she has a daughter--and I don't count Babe 2.0. I think Marissa and Bobbie could have chemistry like Alexa and Bobbie did.

She got a little better as the episode went on but I still was very underwhelmed by her performance. They really should consider recasting bc this girl does absolutely nothing for me. She's a complete bore with no screen presence. Considering she's playing the daughtetr of David and Krystal, not to mention Babe's twin, I expect more. She is very very bland

Ugh...so Im watching it right now on SOAPNET...and David is so full of crap it makes me see red...."Adam your so evil, blah blah blah, you have ruined/messed with my family fo the last time blah".

Umm...David, yeah he has done no different to you, then what you have done to um I don't know...JR, Krystal, Angie, Jake, AMANDA..to name a few. So do me a favor and STFU. God, what I wouldn't give for David to be the "legendary" character being killed off!!

Oh and Erica & Adam...I love them soo much :wub: !! God, they are so amazing together!!

I'm with you. I thought Brittany Allen held her own against Bobbie and was fantastic!

I also agree with everyone who said this was the best episode in a long time. If only Pratt & company could maintain this level of emotional intensity when it's not a sweeps month!

I loved Bobbie Eakes in this episode. I enjoy KWAK now that she's being written true to form -- an insecure woman who makes huge mistakes, rather than a moral compass judging everyone in town. I've always believed that Eakes was worthy of being a cast member of my favorite show -- I just hated her character (unlike some, I'm able to distinguish actor from character).

The heart valve story is the epitome of an Umbrella Story. I think Pratt has shown that he does these well. In my opinion, he's shown the ability to play around with numerous characters when it comes to umbrella stories. I enjoy how all the characters involved are invested. Lucci did a great job in this episode as well... my only complaint is that Erica's not allowed to say "grandson" so it makes it seem like Erica's just turning against Adam because of some random child. The emotion of that scene would've been driven home if she said "MY GRANDSON" rather than "Ian" or "Little Ian" or "Young Ian." We get the fact that Ian's a child, but WHY is Erica so caught up in this? Quit it with the vanity/in house joke of "let's see how may different ways we can have Erica NOT say Miranda, Spike and Ian are her grandchildren." Because we sure enough get way too many "My daughter Kendall's" in an episode.

Nicely put, and I agree on all counts. For a second yesterday I actually thought Erica was going to say MY GRANDSON and it would have totally sold the scene. I was disappointed the inside joke or whatever continued.

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
