Yes, that's the one. Thanks for posting that MTS. I didn't see the whole thing. So I guess its next week, but if that doesn't happen until next week, I don't get why CBS would show Nina saying that.

I can't believe it but I'm in love with two women now - EH and SH! I should call my mamma and give her the good news!

EH has always been great but the character had me waiting for a house to fall on her, but from her performances last week and now today she's one of my favs. When she told Billy it was over, "believe me" and threw the ring I clapped! This has been a long time coming and I hope the reason Phyllis didn't elect to have a nasty divorce is because the writers planned one for Chloe! Think when Jill took John's money, nasty divorce.

....

I really like how they contrast the Patty/Jack story with the Chloe/Billy story - showing that a woman in the same position can be driven crazy by a man but make totally different choices. Love the writing - it's almost poetic how they cross storylines.

MJ is SO my girl, though! What was she going to do to Summer!?? How apropos was Nelson's rave about SH on today? Victor didn't mention what JT said about getting caught snooping on the ranch so he's definitely playing her and has a maneuver up his sleeve.

So glad they addressed Jack's scars and Phyllis not knowing why they're there. So interesting to see former psycho Phyllis get played by current psycho MJ.

i'm very much on the fence about Clem's Mac. One moment I like her the next i'm like how did you get this part?

Nina: The Cane Slayer!!! She's gonna rat him out big time, and as much as I don't hate Cane like everyone else i love seeing Nina avenge Phillip - even if Phillip is the one who created him in the first place.

The Jack scars surprised me...mostly because I can't believe I never thought about them. OF COURSE they'd be there, and of course Phyllis would have seen them.

I like CF's Mac. She's different from anyone else on the canvas. For that, alone, I like the different flavor she brings.

"almost poetic"? Cashton, Cashton, Cashton! I totally agree. (I also think there are nice parallels between Chloe-Billy-Mac and Phyllis-Nick-Sharon...so it is interesting to see how these different triads make different choices...). But you'll get slain/flamed for referencing any kind of art in relationship to this show :).

Haiduk is remarkable. I totally feel for her. And I shouldn't. "I don't want to be your enemy," she quietly wishes.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • 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.)
