Yeah, Mary Jane needs not be around scissors!

Stacy Haiduk is a gem. I would love to see her on contract, but the cast is pretty bloated and chaotic right now. I remember when she first started I found her kinda robotic, but now, I love her!

What baby switch story is not convoluted in some way? No excuses though. I don't think it would happen if the rumor about Sharon have two different baby daddies is true.

I thought injecting eyes with substances was quite twisted and brilliant. You don't see truly sick individuals like Adam anymore. I hope he gets to stay on after this whole mess with Ashley is over. I prefer to have evil Adam than a retread of dull ass Sheila. The rest I could have done without too.

Many in entertainment mistake dark for good. They have to show what intelligent people they are by wallowing in ugly stories. Or this is supposed to be realistic, or more true to human nature. I think it's an easy way out, and it reminds me of how unpleasant ATWT became starting around 2001 or 2002.

So Adam undressed Ashley and put her in new clothes? Ewwww, this guy is a sick perverted freak. WTF is he doing any of this? He has no rooting value and Im having a hard time enjoying him at all.

I have a feeling that crazy MJ is going to kidnap Sharon and Phyllis.

Another prediction is that Phyllis is going to alter the paternity results of Sharon's baby to say that Jack is the father or worst Billy instead of Nick. Things seem like they will be too easy for them. Phyllis is at her best when she's scheming and this would be right up her alley. Good way to get revenge on Sharon and sever the tie that Nick thinks he has with her.

They finally seem to put Victoria in a story and they bring her back for this art crap? YAAAWWWWNNNN

I am now officiallly concerned about the art story.

Forget how easily Daniel bought it.

Forget how he suddenly became a perfect forger.

Victoria (after all the security problems the Newmans have had) lets this stranger into her house, and starts this dealing with him?

Blech.

Let me also say that I found this episode too meandering.

Jack's with Phyllis, Jack's with Patty Jane.

Daniel's at home talking about art, Daniel is comforting Phyllis (nice scene)

Mary Jane is at the ranch (security??), Mary Jane is at the GCAC

Nikki is at the ranch, Nikki is at the GCAC.

And so on.

And I never thought seeing Nick naked and in bed with Sharon would disgust me. But it did.

Thanks. I hope they keep her, and get rid of a sh-t load of other actors.

Stacey Haduik could give Kimberlin Brown a run for her money, especially considering her continuous unsuccessful returns...

Can we re-cast Amelia Heinle (she was actually decent today, but she needs to put more energy in her lines!) already, locate Sabryn Genet, and get this story rolling?

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
