Marissa is BEYOND boring and this actress is just plain bland. They really need to ditch her bc this JR/Marissa/Scott triangle is a total snoozefest

Crishell continues to impress as an actress. Boy has she improved since her early days

ITA Chrishell has been exceptional in this storyline. And I loved her joint interview (in this week's SOD)with RPG...where they talk about their roles in this storyline and how they each factor into the other's performance.

I love them too! I agree about the chemistry between RPG and CS - it is AMAZING! If you haven't already, you need to read that joint interview they gave for this week's SOD...that chemistry is on full display, as well as their mutual respect and love for working with each other.

Beth Ehlers must have pissed off the hairstylist because when Taylor went to Fusion she looked horrid!

I'm also loving Jake/Amanda and I love how the storyline is playing out. Tad has ironically turned out to be David's main defender. I'm not sure if it was intentionally funny, but I laughed when Liza tried to convince Colby to move out of Pine Valley with her and the baby; it just seemed so out of the blue given how integrated Liza has become in the community.

JR/Marisa are okay but she has better chemistry with Scott, imo. I agree with Cheap that Marisa is boring. I do like the current Scott, though, so I hope they don't recast him.

Mainly, I was relieved to have a Zach/Kendall/Ryan-free day! There was nothing I felt tempted to ff through, which is rare lately.

Jake got back in Amanda's life before he knew it was David's baby. He was there soon after she found out she was pregnant and they both didnt know whether it was JR or Davids. I dont see Jake's role in this story all about hate for David. He genuinely loves Amanda and has been all about helping her out. I think his initial involvement was his own guilt for dumping her and inadvertenly causing this mess as a result

Why are people sugarcoating this? Jake used Amanda as a Good Time Girl. He dumped her for that Army girl, and when she got rid of his ass for Brot, he pushed his way back into Amanda's life after finding out she had been involved with David. Remember that canceled check Jake found and stole while he was snooping through David's things while he and Angie were, um... BREAKING AND ENTERING? Amanda was currently involved with JR at the time and Jake started asking for answers to questions he had no business asking in regards to why David paid her so much money. And, if I recall correctly, JR was there after she found out she was pregnant because she was making him think the baby was his. It wasn't until after it came out that it wasn't JR's baby and he dumped Amanda that Jake came into the picture.

I swear! Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a different show from others.

    • 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?      
    • 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.
