Kyle came to Todd's and told Rebecca. Rebecca then kidnapped the baby and told Powell.

Onto yesterday's episode, I'm currently watching. Loving these Blair and Tea scenes. "I'm not gunna tell you who my colorist is, besides I'm a natural blonde."

LOVE the Victor and Powell Sr. reference about spawning a whole new generation of nuts. I'm glad the writers have continuously had Powell mention his family ties with Todd, because if i'm correct..Powell and Todd were just frat bros when he went crazy and Todd found out he was a Lord, like the next year?

That's where this story falls apart for me. I find the Prom King & Queen to be the least sympathetic of everyone involved and see no rooting value in them reuniting with their illegitimate daughter. That kid would be better off with Marcie, Jess or just about anyone else. It wasn't that long ago that Starr was trying to hump her teacher and Cole was popping pills; now they're instantly bucking for Parent of the Year because they gave Jack some cookies?

Rebecca gets the Lee Halpern Memorial Award for long ago character brought back and treated as nothing for no apparent reason. I have no idea why she was brought back, since none of the characters cared. Not even Todd, who was once obsessed with her. Then again this was when Todd actually had emotions.

What was wrong with Todd when he "discovered" Rebecca? That was a moment I was waiting for and it almost seemed like he didn't know her.

ITA in regards to SH's performance. I have never cared much for Marty as a character but SH is amazing.

Rebecca would be meaningless to this Todd, because all he remembers of those days now is how much he loved Marty (he showed his love by initiating a gang rape against her), but that does make you wonder why they brought her back.

I wish Jerry ver Dorn could go back to GL, even if just for a few days. I know what they did to him sucked, but what they have done to Clint is so hard to watch. Poor Clint has been systematically taken apart ever since the story with Sloan years ago.

Hmmm... a stretch, but a. I'd take that over him being the un-dead Victor's son ANY day, and b. I feel like (and I believe there have been blind items confirming this) they're making up the Rex paternity s/l as they go, so why not.

When Powell first came to Llanview his parents were still living, but I think I read on another board that Powell II has since died? I'm guessing Powell Sr. is long dead.

Yeah, it feels like that because of Frons. Carlivati's been wanting to tell "Who is Rex's father?" since early 2008 (or even late 2007) and if Frons didn't meddle, we would already know who Rex's father is already.

One thing Im not liking though is that Tea didnt get to tell Blair her secret. Im sick of the show constantly brnging up secrets and NOT revealing them. Im still wondering what Alison Perkin's big secret is and they keep teasing Roxys. It seems like this has been happening way too much lately

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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?
