Annie's court date. Ryan is on the stand. Liza has her third consecutive day of besting Ryan where Annie is concerned, which really just annoys him, lol. Liza puts Adam on the stand and he continues his fruit-cake defense of the fruit-cake. The ADA clearly doesn't stand a chance against contrived plo...I mean Liza's lawyer chops. He's fine with house arrest and Adam offers his house for her arrest. Annie is set free on 1 million dollars bail, she'll wear an ankle monitor. Judge says no kids in the house, Annie is all like s*it, no way dude is going to do that. Thanks Liza anyways. Unbeknownst to them, Adam goes home to kick out Adam 2 and Adam 3. Little Adam is home talking to Marissa about how his mommy died. Cute kid. Adam comes home and tells JR he has to get to stepping. JR calls Adam on kicking his grandson out to be a dirty old man, more or less. Adam says it isn't like that and they can come back after Annie's acquitted. JR tries to play hard to get, like he won't come back. We all know he won't leave that house for good until he's in a casket. JR tells Little Adam they're going on an adventure instead of saying "Grandpa kicked us out for booty," Adam 3 is excited and tells grandpa. Grandpa looks guilty. Liza comes over and I think she sees Annie and Adam kissing outside the window, they were talking about flowers and crap. Liza later question Adam about his Annie fascination. She brings up their Colby deal right before Colby walks in. Outside on the terrace, Aidan comes up to Annie and pulls her into a kiss. She's shocked. He mentions something about the plan working.

Erica and Ryan. They're at court too. Erica gets a few good one-liners in at Annie, the Hannibal Lecthur's little sister one probably being the best. Erica takes Ryan on a date to the Yacht Club. They laugh about some garbage. Ryan starts taking some responsibility for Annie's mental state, Erica won't have that. Erica and Ryan dance, a slow dance. Jackson comes in and stares at Erica. Erica notices him and waves "hi" in the next segment. Jack thought he was interuppting something, Erica's all like nah. In a (not so rare) moment of consistency lackage, Jackson tells Erica he can't find Kendall and he has papers for her to sign. This is like 5 segments after he found Kendall and gave her papers to sign. JR, Marissa, Adam 3 show up at the Yacht Club. Uh-oh, Erica's realized Adam did kick them out. She's on a warpath.

Kendall and Zach (with a Stanley Cup losing Red Wings shirt on ;)...) at home with the kids. The TV's on, and the news peeps are talking about the case and showing interviews with North, Jackson. Zach wants to go "take care" of North when Jackson comes over with papers for Kendall to sign. They both tell him to chill. North is badgering Jesse (at the hospital corridor now) to get him more evidence so he can get the conviction on Kendall throughout the first half of the episode, he's all "stop investigating other peeps, man." Kendall comes in with Ian in her arms, for an appointment, which makes for a perfect soap opera nasty-D.A./"innocent" mother moment of play. North reminds me of Michael Cambias except he's less slimey. I like him. Zach walks in as North continues his "I'll prosecute you good and then prosecute your little husband too" song and dance. North makes a goon joke, heh. Zach replies that North's a little wimp, he doesn't need goons to handle him.

Frankie and his hands stuff. He's bitter and in a hospital room. Angie finds yet another miracle doctor. He'll have the surgery. Oh, North and Randi. An excited Randi runs out to tell Jesse that Franklin will have the surgery when she spots North. North and Randi look shocked when they see each other. Randi neverminds Jesse and goes back to Frankie. Later, North pushes himself into an elevator with Randi and it's clear they know each other and he looks like he's madly in-lust with her. He kisses her. Back home, Z/K discuss North and any possible weakness. Speech about everybody having something that can take them from all powerful to vulnerable.

After bitching about being bored and not caring recently, today I was entertained quite a bit.

The hearing was good. I enjoyed LawyerLiza. Too rare to see competent professional women at work, outside of Angie mostly.

I got a kick out of Erica's reluctant acknowledgement of Liza's skills and Annie's madness, her scheme planning with Ryan and Aiden and the one-liners Angela noted. Lucci's on again in this story.

MCE looked great today and her range of expressions during the trial were a lot of fun. Liza almost looked jealous there for a moment seeing Annie hug Adam.

Even though I've had no major objections to them and haven't been squicked by Ryan and Erica together as many have, today they (especially Ryan/Cam) seemed really awkward in that dance moment. So today I was squicked a bit.

North is creepy. I am glad Randi got through to Frankie. Angie was working that red dress.

Why does someone get physically agressive with the DA who's putting your wife through a murder trial. Dumb Ryanesque move, Zach. I guess North might should worry about the gleam in your eye when speaking of taking care of the problem with Kendall.

Jack was a welcome sight.

A3 is an adorable little actor.

Go Liza! Loved watching her slam Ryan on the stand. MCE was looking fine as hell today.

Debbi M - oh no you didn't with that new weave! You look like Cathy! (the comic-book strip...obviously not a good thing)

Welcome to town Mr. and Mrs. North! Wow - that massage table scene was kinda hot - I wanna see more. Kinda wish he'd change up his hair though...

I could have sworn the prosecutor was Michael J. Fox - gotta be a brother - seriously.

I am such a DM fangirl, I don't even notice the bad hair. Oh I love my Angie so much. I wish she was driving her own story.

When I read the spoiler about the DA and his wife, I didn't like it because I was all -- gee, more NEW characters?! Why not bring back Hayley or Jamie or Brooke, etc.? I am though a little bit intrigued because it looks like this will give Frankie & Randi something fresh to play. I enjoy them as a couple (maybe I am one of the few) but they definitely need some drama in their lives outside of the vet angle. I see that Taylor is being paired with Tad, but I would have been interested in Frankie turning to Taylor for comfort if things go south between him & Randi.

My mother always says, if more than one person tells you look sick, go back to bed.

Well, in this case, if more than one person says Angie's hair looks like a tragedy -- I have to see it.

All in all, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was MUCH better than that wig Livia had five years ago.

    • 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.
