Is it just me or are they trying to forget that Colleen had a relationship with Adrian? They are making it seem like she hasn't been with anyone since Jt.

When I was watching Jt/Colleen scenes, I felt like I was watching a guy babysit his little sister

I really hope those rumors about Tammin are untrue.

They had Billy saying "I know about your stint with Jt". I wouldn't mind the writers being stuck in the past if Colleen was still being played by LF. Since she's not, it's time to move on. I get the Bac thing since their fans felt cheated by the cousin thing, they could use the closure and then move on.

I thought today's show was rather boring. It had it moments with Jack & Victor but the show was blah. The whole Ashley storyline is boring now. The spoiler sounded better on paper than when it appeared on screen. So Ashley can't tell it's not Sabrina and MJ instead? Her falling into Victor's arms in slow motion was lame too. I think it's time to end this story it's lost a lot of steam. And the future spoiler is going to make it even more tedicious to watch.

Everything else was boring....Lily ...Colleen and Jeffrey and Gloho....didn't care for them.

Now on to the previews.

Gawd...glad to have Thom Bierdz back but the whole I am gay storyline has fallen flat in just a short time. It seems no one really cares why he left...meaning the characters find it lame that he faked his death because he was gay. Why is Jill not upset about this? I would think she would be furious with Phillip instead it is Katherine who is pissed off. That is way off. Jill should be the pissed off one and Kay the more sensible one. Although I can see Kay mad too but NOT Jill? It makes no sense to me.

I actually don't mind the stories - sure there are some beats/angles I don't agree with but I understand the overall stories. It's the pacing that I have major issues with. I like my soaps slow, stretched out.

Once again, the show doesn't follow up the last scene. In tomorrow's US episode, it's already the next day - no follow up to Ashley fainting at all! Episode continuation is one of my biggest pet peeves and I will bitch more about that than say plot holes. LOL

A better actress would be able to hide it, e.g. Nicole Kidman. TS just chooses not to conceal her accent (to keep to her roots as she's said) or she's just not that good of an actress to be able to do so. In any event, Colleen Carlton is an American character, not Australian, and it's very distracting along with her "acting".

UGH...MAB is bad at doing this. She's had some great cliffhangers(this wasn't one of them) and then drops them. I wish someone would tell her to stop doing this. It ruins the whole flow of the show.

Absolutely she was--I will never forget the time TS' Colleen mentioned "shawping" (shopping) in NY--Colleen would have been interested in more than that, she would have been touring museums. CC was never a ditz like she is now and used to be my fav character until the recast and the writing became tailored to suit TS. It's unbelievable isn't it? Oh well, she seems guaranteed the role no matter what and this show has bigger fish to fry w/ what it's got going on now.

I guess it goes back to what CarlD2 always says, they just aren't interested in writing smart women on this show, and judging by how the majority of women act on this show, it's pretty obvious.

Or they simply don't know how to write for these characters....

Of course with Colleen again, it's a combination of the writing and the miscast actress, IMO.

      I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it really did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was emotional stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. At this point Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up bonding more with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.

      Bravo to every single person responsible for today's episode. From the writer on down to Kraft services. Yall I'm getting emotional but I wish my granny was here to have seen this soap since she was the one to introduce me to this medium.

      Everything is fraught with confusion. Why is Leslie pleading with the Duprees to accept Eva? She's not biological family so what is this? She's the product of an affair with their in-law so Leslie wants them to accept her? I'm getting GOOD TIMES vibes of Leslie and Eva minus the physical abuse.

      Big fan of today's writing. In particular, I like EJ complexity, crying over Johnny and conspiring at the same is tough to pull off in the same episode, but it goes very far in explaining EJ's motives. I don't hate the idea of Cat and EJ, and I especially appreciate everyone trying to warn her, but she is sticking to the plan. Boy oh boy, when Brandon Beemer wears a shirt that matches his eyes, I get lost in the screen!

      Yeah, I think that Leslie's speech would have had a bit more of an impact if Ted had been the Dupree's son, with Nicole being the daughter in law they loved like a daughter. But being that he's the son in law, and that Eva (at least not right now) isn't technically a Dupree, it doesn't hold as much weight. They aren't caring much for Ted right now and their feelings could be trickling down to Eva. Though, I do think they have some sympathy for her. I really enjoyed today's show. Loved a stripped, down hurt but still strong in her resolve Nicole. DD continues to shine and shows why she is IMO the heart of the show. I felt her words, and anger at Ted and how she broke down in Kat's arms at the end. She is just wonderful all the way around. I also loved the way that Anita read Leslie. She was spot on about her and how mishandled everything with Ted and Eva. And speaking of Leslie... I immediately thought the same thing once I saw that scene. That what she exhibited was trash behavior. I don't think she's a good mother. In fact, I think she's lousy. Granted, I have missed some episodes, but I haven't really seen her do anything to indicate that she really cares for Eva or her well being. All she's really done is try and manipulate/use Eva for her own agenda since she came to town.

      I thought Brandon C was much more believable as Martin today.  Before, I watched an actor trying to portray a character.  Friday and today, I simply felt the character.

      The way Leslie uses her love shower Eva with and then snatches it away when Eva doesn’t do what she wants is something that should be focused on down the road.    Great end to the episode overall and kudos to the writing and production team for carefully executing all of this.
