OK is it just me or is anyone else wondering what happened to Marcko, Langston, Dorian, Ray and Lola. There scenes had me on the edge of my seat on Friday and now it's Thursday and no mention of them. WTF. And I hope John dies in that fire, I'm so done with that character.

Past couple of days I've really enjoyed One Life, maybe they should have started sweeps out with this stuff instead of what they did start it with, because this feels like it should be the beginning of sweeps instead of the end.

Do you think all this drama with Tea's injuries was originally supposed to be about Blair? Blair just got out of the hospital and yet she is like Superwoman compared to Tea. Perhaps Blair was supposed to be injured and this was draw her closer to Todd, but since FL extended her run, we get TnT instead.

I haven't seen today's episode in its entirety yet but can someone explain to me how Tea and Blair look like they were in an explosion and John looks like he ..... well the way he always does? GOD, dust doesn't even settle on this guy. Is Frons in love with him that much? Enough already.

Sorry for the double post but I just finished watching today's show. I couldn't agree with you more Antoyne. True sign of plot driven and not character driven storyline. I do have to say that overall, today was not bad. I actually enjoyed Gigi and Rex today. FF had some spunk and life in her which was nice to see. I also forgot just how bad Bree Williamson is at playing Bess. That final scene with her singing the wheels on the bus was just brutal.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but:

Powell returned as a result of what Todd did to amnesiac Marty. His motivation seems pretty clear and understandable to me.

As a result of his return, Marty regained her memories and the truth about Chloe/Hope was revealed. In addition, a new dynamic was founded among Blair, Todd and Tea. Marty and John were driven closer together, as were Cole and Starr. All of these things were to some degree a function of Powell's murder spree. That hardly seems pointless. Perhaps you didn't like it? But "pointless," I don't see that.

<_< I like Todd so much more now that I know he not only raped someone, but pushed two other guys into taking their turn. I like TSJ a lot, but it makes me sick to watch Tea and Blair falling all over themselves for Todd. Plus Marty should not be thanking him for one damn thing. Ever.

    • 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?
